In May, one of the most scandalous star trials of recent times came to an end. A Fairfax court found Amber Heard guilty in the lawsuit against Johnny Depp and ordered the actress $15 million in damages. However, Western newspapers soon reported that the actress had serious financial problems, and therefore Amber could not pay the amount announced by the court.
Journalists assured Amber Heard that she could declare herself bankrupt in order to escape her obligation to pay compensation to her ex-husband. However, as it turned out, even this did not help him. The actress will have to give Johnny Depp $ 15 million in any case, even if it takes decades.
HollywoodLife spoke to a legal expert. He told reporters that the money would be deducted from his assets and future income, and that he could only temporarily suspend, but not cancel, Amber’s mandatory payment if the court decides to appeal the case. In addition, Amber will have to pay a bail in the amount of 621 thousand dollars (about 33.5 million rubles – Editor’s note). Probably, this is a penalty for late payment.
The attorney also added that the best Amber Heard can do right now is to negotiate a peace deal with Johnny Depp: she will not demand $15 million from him and appeal in return. It’s the only way they can leave this history behind.
