Johnny Depp Officially Appeals Amber Heard's 'Erroneous' $2 Million Defamation Trial Win!

perezhilton.com:

Johnny Depp is moving forward with his appeal! Despite winning his defamation case against Amber Heard by a landslide, the actor is continuing to fight back through an appeals process.

As Perezcious readers know, Johnny won $10.35 million earlier this year, but the jury also ruled in favor of Amber on one count.

They believed she successfully proved Johnny, through his lawyer, Adam Waldman, had defamed her. Both announced plans to appeal the other’s verdict, and on Wednesday, Johnny’s team followed through by submitting new court docs! Related: Johnny Depp Reportedly Appearing In Savage X Fenty Show! In new legal documents filed on Wednesday in the Virginia Court of Appeals and obtained by TMZ, Johnny clapped back at the legal conclusion, claiming he shouldn’t be punished for his attorney’s remarks.

In a statement published by DailyMail.com in 2020, Adam described the fight that ended the couple’s marriage, saying: Johnny argued the jury ruling in the Aquaman star’s favor was “erroneous.” He also claimed her camp failed to prove Waldman made those comments with malice — which is a requirement to win a defamation claim.
