's column did not mention Depp by name, but he argued it was an example of"defamation by implication" because parts of the column referred to allegations of abuse she made against him following their break-up in 2016.

He also said he is not surprised that the jury found for Depp and Heard to some extent, because there were compelling stories on both sides. They said Heard's claims were clearly"defamatory and not supported by any evidence" and that they were"so grateful to the jury for their careful deliberations". In his own closing argument, Heard's lawyer Ben Rottenborn said the lawsuit was not about Depp's reputation but was part of an ongoing smear campaign launched by the actor after Heard filed for divorce.

Hardly a shock. He's worth too much to Hollywood to ruin him. Just like Amanda knox, guilty but not guilty then becomes more famous. Yawn.

Shit happens...

Old, unmarried,alone and now broke....🤣🤣 .... another great example of failed feminism

Johnny Depp rewarded for abuse, his own words and videos proved such. Amber Heard punished for abuse, her own words and videos proved such. Ludicrous, careless decision-making jurors as evidenced by incomplete verdict until instructed to finish.

Hope to see both back on the screen! Press on

Making false allegations of abuse is grotesque and worse than the alledged abuse itself. The current sky report on this is dreadfully biased towards Amber Heard. For victims of false allegations everywhere, I'm so pleased that her lies have been exposed.

An American jury is smarter than a UK judge. JusticeForJohnnyDepp

Am I missing the point? DeppVsHeard concluded Heard was lying? How does that mean ppl can’t come 4rwd if they experience abuse? If you’re telling the truth then you should come 4rwd. It suggested Depp was a victim? Heard’s argument of ppl not being able to come 4rwd isn’t true?

No sht Sherlock 😂😂😂👍

She’s a good Actress in court to lol

mega pints all round!

Appears many people had already made up their minds after Depp released his one-sided evidence against Amber and after that people believed she lied.

Woman's misplaced scorn can be costly ?

So will AH receive any punishment for lying through her turdy teeth?

TheSun cough cough

This is a travesty. These jurors just gave domestic abuse victims the confirmation that the abusers win in court, even with loads of evidence stacked against the abusers.

A man hurts a woman he should be punished. When a woman falsely claims abuse by a man she brings hurt that is lasting AND she abuses every woman who has ever really been abused because she has given cause to doubt women who have really been abused. It’s good that she is punished.

I wish a verdict like this meant,sun would have to automatically put an apology out and also pay damages. In a perfect world..

Depp is greedy
