A jury decided last week that Heard defamed the actor in an op-ed she wrote. She referred to herself as a public figure representing domestic abuse despite not naming her ex- husband. Part of Heard's countersuit was won after her lawyer called her claims of abuse a hoax. The two people were awarded a total of $10.35 million in damages. The lawyer for Heard said after the trial that she believed social media influenced the decision. The facts spoke for themselves, according to the lawyers for the actor. They called the claims "utterly baseless."
