Mickey Rourke Accuses Amber Heard of Being a 'Gold Digger' After Verdict
Mickey Rourke has accused Amber Heard of being a "gold digger," following
her high-profile defamation trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp.
Depp, 59, filed a $50 million lawsuit against Heard, 36, over a 2018 op-ed in
The
Washington Post
, in which she said that she was a survivor of domestic abuse.
Following a six-week trial, the jury on June 1 awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory
damages and $5 million in punitive damages.
The judge adjusted the punitive damages to $350,000, as Virginia law limits punitive damages.
Heard, who had countersued for $100 million, was awarded $2 million by the jury,
which found that Depp's former attorney, Adam Waldman, had made defamatory comments about the
Aquaman
star.
