'MeToo is dead,' tweeted Meghan McCain -- while a number of big names showed support on Depp's Instagram
The jury ruled unanimously in favor of the actor, saying that Heard made her allegations"with actual malice." They also awarded $10 million dollars to Johnny Depp in compensatory damages, plus $5 million in punitive damages. Since there's a cap on punitive damages in Virginia, she'll only have to pay $350,000 of that $5 million.
"The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband," Heard said."I'm even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women. It is a setback. It sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated.
with the caption,"YESSSSS 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤" -- and"The Walking Dead" alum Laurie Holden, who tweeted,"Today justice was served. The verdict of the jury sent a message to the world that abuse has no gender and that facts actually do matter. #TruthWins."
