After winning a defamation lawsuit against former wife Amber Heard, Johnny Depp’s Instagram followers increased from 19 million to 21.3 million.

After winning a defamation lawsuit, Johnny Depp has achieved a major milestone. Following an intense trial based on bitterly contested allegations of domestic abuse, a US jury found both Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard liable for defamation on Wednesday but sided more strongly with the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star. The verdict came at the end of a six-week trial that was based on lurid claims and counterclaims between the Hollywood stars. After finding that a 2018 article written by Heard about her experience with “sexual violence” was defamatory to Depp, a seven-member jury in Virginia awarded the 58-year-old actor $15 million in damages.
