The Pirates of the Caribbean star emerged victorious from the trial in Fairfax, Virginia after jurors unaminousy sided with him. The court ruled Heard did defame her ex-husband after she claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse in a 2018 op-ed for the Washington Post and subsequently ordered her to pay him over $10 million in damages.

However, since the release of the previously sealed court documents, it would appear as if opinion has shifted - for some - against Depp, as more details surrounding the former couple's relationship emerge.

"False, very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media, which triggered an endless barrage of hateful content, although no charges were ever brought against me.
