Post winning the defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard, Johnny Depp won an amount of $10 million in the case, in contrast to just $2 million for Heard, who had counter-sued. The Mortdecai actor has now appealed against the $2 million verdict that the Virginia jury handed over to Heard. The development came a day after her legal team officially filed a notice of appeal against the verdict in favour of Johnny Depp at the Virginia Court of Appeals in Fairfax County.
