“21 Jump Street” helped Depp gain recognition in the industry. In 1990, he played the title character in Tim Burton’s film “Edward Scissorhands.” A critical and commercial success, the role established him as a leading Hollywood actor and also began his long relationship with Burton.

He earned widespread acclaim for his performance as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Walt Disney Pictures film “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” (2003). He reprised his role as the pirate in the franchise’s four sequels. He reunited with Tim Burton in 2004, starring as Willy Wonka in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (2004), and the animated film “Corpse Bride” (2005), with Depp voicing the character Victor Van Dort. For his role in “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” (2007), also directed by Burton, Depp won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and was nominated for the third time for the Academy Award for Best Actor.

Johnny Depp: Personal Life

Depp married Lori Allison in 1983, and they divorced in 1985. Subsequently, he was engaged to actresses Jennifer Grey and Sherilyn Fenn in the 1980s. In 1990, he proposed to his “Edward Scissorhands” co-star Winona Ryder. He dated model Kate Moss from 1994 to 1998 and began a relationship with French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis in 1998. The pair met while Depp was shooting his film “The Ninth Gate” in France, and have two children together.

After separating from Paradis in 2012, Depp began a relationship with actress Amber Heard, whom he met the previous year on “The Rum Diary” (2011). They married in February 2015, but Heard filed for divorce in May 2016, alleging that Depp had been “verbally and physically abusive,” allegations Depp’s lawyers denied. They finalized the divorce in January 2017, with Depp paying Heard a settlement of $7 million.

Johnny Depp: Defamation Lawsuits (Amber Heard)

When the divorce was finalised, Amber Heard received a $7 million settlement from Depp. Amber then vowed to donate the settlement to charity, specifically to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and the ACLU.

In January 2021, Johnny claimed that Amber had been lying about donating the money to charity. Depp’s lawyers reached out to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and the ACLU to find out how much they had received from Heard. According to the Daily Mail, the ACLU refused to turn over the numbers. Still, the Children’s Hospital reported having only received $100,000, which would be around $3.4 million shy of her allegedly promised donation. The hospital reportedly even reached out to Heard to ask “if the pledge will not be fulfilled”.

In 2018 Johnny Depp filed a lawsuit in the United Kingdom against News Group Newspapers, and publishers of The Sun which referred to him as a “wife beater” in an April 2018 article. The lawsuit went to trial in 2020. Both Heard and Depp testified for several days. In November 2020 a judge ruled that 12 of the 14 incidents of violence that Heard reportedly claimed to have incurred were “substantially true.” Depp lost an appeal in March 2021.

In 2019 Johnny sued Amber Heard for defamation in Virginia. He sought a settlement of $50 million as a direct response to an op-ed Amber Heard had written for The Washington Post in December 2018 that detailed the alleged abuse she suffered. Although Heard never mentioned Depp by name, he felt that she was heavily implying that he was to blame for various acts of violence – despite earlier, joint statements from the couple stating that “there was never any intent of physical or emotional harm” from either partner.

In addition, Depp claimed that he was the victim of domestic abuse due to Heard’s behaviour, which included punching, kicking, throwing objects, and even defecating. Depp’s legal team published evidence of his allegations, and Heard’s attempts to have the case dismissed were denied.

Heard counter-sued in August 2020. The trial for this defamation case commenced on April 11, 2022, in Fairfax County, Virginia.

On June 1, 2022, the jury in Virginia awarded Johnny $15 million in defamation damages. That was soon reduced to $10.35 million with Virginia’s cap on punitive damages. At the same time, the jury awarded Amber $2 million worth of damages. These damages may be appealed.
