Amber Heard's Attorney Says Actress 'Absolutely' Plans To Appeal Johnny Depp Verdict -- & She Cannot Afford To Pay MILLIONS In Damages

perezhilton.com:

Amber Heard is not going down without a fight. As Perezcious readers know, the Aquaman star was found liable for defamation after claiming to be a victim of domestic abuse in her 2018 Washington Post op-ed.

She was ordered to pay her ex-husband Johnny Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, though Judge Penney Azcarate quickly reduced the punitive damages to the maximum allowed in Virginia, $350,000.

While Amber was awarded $2 million in damages for claims made by Depp’s former attorney, the verdict was still a definitive loss for her.

And now her lawyer is speaking out on her plans for the future and what she thinks influenced the jury’s decision.
