Amber Heard keeps her head down while leaving the Fairfax County Courthouse on Wednesday afternoon (June 1) in Fairfax, Va.

The 36-year-old actress walked from the courthouse to a waiting car just shortly after it was revealed that her ex, Johnny Depp, will be award $15 million in his defamation case against her.

The case centered around a 2018 op-ed that was run in the Washington Post that said she became a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” While Amber never mentioned Johnny by name in the piece, his lawyers argued that it was about him. Johnny sued her for $50 million in damages after she published, to which she countersued him for $100 million for comments his former lawyer made to the Daily Mail in 2020 where he said it was all a hoax.
