Although she did not name Johnny Depp, he filed a $50 million lawsuit against her in 2019, claiming the article damaged his reputation. Heard sued for $100 million, alleging defamation based on statements made by Depp’s attorney.

Depp was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, later reduced to $350,000 under Virginia law.

“I get to be a mom, kind of full-time, you know? Where I don’t have to juggle talking to lawyers,” she said at the time, to which Guthrie then added, “One day you might want to tell your daughter about this or you have to tell your daughter about everything you’ve been through? What would you like to say?”

“I believe no matter what,” Heard replied. “It will mean something. I did the right thing. I did everything I could to stand up for myself and the truth.”
