The world of cinema is afire with anticipation as Amber Heard prepares for her comeback at the illustrious Taormina Film Festival.
Actor Amber Heard said on Monday she would settle defamation claims that were brought against her by ex-husband and fellow actor Johnny Depp, ending years of legal wrangling over dueling claims of abuse during their marriage. In an Instagram post, Heard said the decision to settle with Depp was “very difficult” and followed “a great deal of deliberation.” The actress said this was “not an act of concession.” In June, Depp had won a mulimillion-dollar jury verdict for his defamation suit against Heard.

In effect, both were found culpable to a degree of defaming each other. They awarded Depp $15 million in damages from Heard, and awarded Heard $2 million from Depp.
Mere moments after the verdict was passed on the Depp vs Heard defamation lawsuit, both parties issued their own individual statements.
