AceShowbiz - For years, Johnny Depp battled abuse allegations after Amber Heard wrote an op-ed that detailed her experience of as a victim of domestic abuse. After losing his libel suit against The Sun for an article that labeled him a "wife beater," he had to withdraw from "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" in which he would have reprised his role as Grindelwald. Since then, his career appeared to come to a halt.
However, that has changed after he won his defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber. After a bitter and much-publicized trial from April until early June, the fury found the actress guilty of defaming Johnny and awarded him $10 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages. The Oscar-nominated actor has since returned to acting by starring in his French film "La Favorite" and landed a directing gig with "Modigliani". He also made a surprise cameo appearance at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards and appeared in Rihanna's "Savage X Fenty Vol. 4" show, while he continues performing as a rock star.
