==Legal proceedings in the Depp case== In June 2018, Depp brought a libel lawsuit in the UK against News Group Newspapers (NGN), the company publishing ''The Sun'', which had called him a "wife beater" in an April 2018 article. Heard was a key witness for NGN during the highly publicized trial in July 2020. In November 2020, the High Court of Justice ruled that Depp had lost his claim and that while the evidence suggested Heard had abused Depp, this did not mean she was not abused by him and that "the great majority of alleged assaults of Ms. Heard by Mr. Depp [12 out of the 14] have been proved to the civil standard", rejecting any notion of a hoax against him. The verdict also found that Heard's career and activism had been negatively affected by making the abuse public. Depp's appeal to overturn the verdict was rejected in March 2021. In early 2019, Depp sued Heard for [[defamation]] over an op-ed she wrote about her experiences of leaving an abusive relationship, which was published by ''The Washington Post'' in December 2018. Depp also alleged that Heard had been the abuser, and that her allegations constituted a hoax against him. The case went on trial in Fairfax County, Virginia in April 2022. Jury deliberations began on May 27, 2022. On June 1, 2022, Depp won the case. Heard was ordered to pay $10.35 million to Depp and Depp was required to pay $2 million to Heard as Depp’s attorneys argued that she messed up the apartment.
