A spokeswoman for Amber Heard said the “Aquaman” actress plans to appeal the verdict in a highly-publicized defamation case with actor Johnny Depp, Heard’s ex-husband.

A jury on Wednesday found that Heard defamed Depp in an op-ed about domestic violence published in The Washington Post in 2018, awarding Depp a total of $15 million. Heard was awarded $2 million over statements Depp lawyer Adam Waldman wrote about Heard allegedly intentionally messing up her apartment to stage a hoax against Depp. Due to Virginia law, the judge reduced Depp’s award to $10.35 million.
