Johnny Depp won all three counts of his bombshell defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard on Wednesday after a Virginia jury substantiated the claim that his ex-wife sullied his reputation and damaged his career when she wrote about becoming a “public figure representing domestic abuse” following the couple’s split.
The jury listened to hours of testimony about one particular nasty fight in March 2015, when the couple was in Australia while Depp was filming the fifth “Pirates of the Caribbean” installment.
The fight ended in Depp losing the tip of his right middle finger, which he said happened when Heard lobbed a bottle of vodka at him.
The “Aquaman” actress said her then-husband had been on a multi-day drug and alcohol binge that ended in him cutting off his own finger. In the immediate aftermath of the incident, Depp wrote messages to Heard around their rental house with the blood spewing from his digit.
