After six weeks of testimony in the libel trial in which Johnny Depp and Amber Heard attacked each other with unsavory details about their brief marriage, both sides asked the jury for the same thing: they want get your life back.
Heard “ruined his life by falsely telling the world that she was a survivor of domestic abuse committed at the hands of Mr. Depp,” Depp’s lawyer Camille Vasquez said in closing arguments in a Faixfax, Virginia, court.
Heard’s lawyers, meanwhile, said Depp ruined Heard’s life by waging a smear campaign against her when she filed for divorce and publicly accused him of assault on 2016.

Depp sued his ex-wife for USD 50 million as a result of a column she wrote in 2018 for The Washington Post, in which he does not name him, but describes himself as herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” Heard, for her part, filed a counterclaim, seeking $100 million from compensation.
“For Mr. Depp this case has never been about money,” Depp’s attorney, Benjamin Chew, told the jury. “It’s about Mr. Depp’s reputation and getting him out of the prison he’s lived in for the last six years.”
The “Pirates” actor del Caribe” has testified that his “objective is the truth” as he seeks to clear his name in the trial, which is being televised live through various media. He has said several times under oath that he never hit Heard or any woman. Due to Heard’s accusations, Depp said that he lost “nothing less than everything.”
Heard testified: “ I wanted to clear my name. That’s all I have.”
A verdict that the experts consider will not be favorable to the actor. It has, however, earned him back public support.
