Johnny Depp was suing his ex-wife Amber Heard for defamation from a 2018 Washington Post op-ed where she alleged a long history of abuse by him. Allegations of drug abuse, physical abuse, and of course, defecation in the bed. Heard's team released a statement before the verdict came in saying "Johnny Depp plays guitar in the UK while Amber Heard waits for a verdict in Virginia. Depp's libel case against Heard centered on a 2018 op-ed she published in The Washington Post about speaking up against sexual violence. The trial has turned into a public orgy of misogyny.
