‘Why am I involved?’ Dakota Johnson on clip of her ‘seeing’ Johnny Depp’s ‘severed’ finger | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

Judge Penney Azcarate finalised the verdict as she entered a judgement order into the court record after a brief hearing in Fairfax County Circuit Court.

Neither Depp nor Heard were present for the hearing, and the fact that their lawyers were unable to reach a last-minute settlement means there may now be a costly and lengthy appeals process.

As well as the order for Heard to pay Depp $10.35 million, Heard has also ordered Depp to pay her $2 million.

This was the jury’s award on her counterclaim that she was defamed by one of Depp’s lawyers: a formality after the jury announced its verdict on June 1.

After the trial had concluded, Depp won all three of his claims against his ex-wife whereas Heard won just one.
