Johnny Depp, who is known for playing Jack Sparrow in all five “Pirates of the Caribbean“ films, as well as for his roles in various other films such as "Edward Scissorhands," "Alice In Wonderland," "Secret Window," and more, has been in the news a lot as of late, mainly due to his lawsuit against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, 35, who he sued for defamation after she wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post, where she referred to herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.”

Due to Heard’s allegations, Depp’s career has taken a few hits. First, Warner Bros.’ “The Fantastic Beasts” franchise dropped the actor from the films and recast him with Mads Mikkelson. Then, the Walt Disney Company fired Depp from his iconic role of Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise. 

Although Depp’s trial in the U.K. was unsuccessful — a judge ruled that The Sun was correct in reporting that Depp was violent towards Heard three months after the trial began — his trial in the United States against ex-wife, Amber Heard, was a win. The jury found Amber Heard defamed Johnny Depp by publicly accusing him of domestic abuse, and found that Depp proved Heard lied about her allegations.

Johnny Depp’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez, explained why the U.S. case was a win and the U.K. case was not when speaking to the “Today Show”, saying, “It was a different process. And also, Mr. Depp, and Ms. Heard, in this case, were the parties.”

“They had different disclosure obligations…and the overwhelming evidence that was presented in this case in Virginia far exceeded what was presented in the UK. And we believe the jury got it right,” she continued.

Despite this being looked at as a win, Depp will not return to the sixth installment of “Pirates of the Caribbean”. However, the actor is moving forward in his life as he is reportedly dating his married lawyer, Joelle Rich, from his U.K. lawsuit against The Sun
