'This is not an act of concession': Amber Heard settles defamation case with Johnny Depp

Earlier this month, Ms Heard sought to appeal against the verdict in her legal battle against Depp, arguing that it will have a “chilling” effect on other women.

"The vilification I have faced on social media is an amplified version of the ways in which women are re-victimised when they come forward."

Amber Heard has made the “very difficult decision” to settle her multimillion-dollar US defamation case with former husband Johnny Depp.

The Aquaman star said the decision was “not an act of concession” but an opportunity to resolve the situation “on terms I can agree to”.
