Amber Heard has finally ponied up the $1 million she owed ex-husband Johnny Depp after losing a nationally-televised defamation trial in Virginia last year, according to a source close to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor.
The six-week courtroom spectacle ended in June 2022 with a $10.35 million judgment against Heard for defaming Depp by penning a 2018 op-ed that referred to herself as a domestic abuse victim. The jury handed Heard $2 million in her countersuit.
Depp, 60, agreed to settle the case last December for $1 million, which was paid this month by the “Aquaman” actress’ insurance company.

News of the satisfaction of the settlement comes as Heard, 37, makes a bid to relaunch her floundering acting career.
Heard is scheduled to appear at the 69th Taormina Film Festival in Sicily, Italy, on June 24 for the world premiere of her new movie “In the Fire,” Deadline reported.
After the trial, Heard relocated with her young daughter to Madrid, Spain, and was briefly interviewed recently by local media in a TikTok video.
“I love Spain so much,” Heard told the reporter in Spanish. He asked if she planned to stay in the country. “Yes, I hope so. Yes, I love living here,” she replied.
