This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

In the Virginia trial, Depp's claims related to a December 2018 [[op-ed]] by Heard,<ref name=heard_wapo_oped /> published in ''[[The Washington Post]]''. Depp claimed Heard caused new damage to his reputation and career by stating that she had spoken up against "[[sexual violence]]" and that "two years ago, [''she''] became a public figure representing domestic abuse". Heard's counterclaims included allegations that Adam Waldman, Depp's former lawyer, had defamed her in statements published in the ''[[Daily Mail]]'' in 2020. Throughout the trial, Depp's legal team sought to disprove Heard's domestic abuse allegations and to demonstrate that she had been the instigator, rather than the victim, of [[intimate partner violence]]. Heard's lawyers defended the op-ed, claiming it to be factual and protected by the [[First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First Amendment]].

The jury ruled that Heard's [[#Heard3statements|op-ed references]] to "sexual violence" and "domestic abuse" were false and defamed Depp with [[actual malice]] and awarded Depp $10&nbsp;million in compensatory damages and $5&nbsp;million in punitive damages from Heard,<ref name="CNverdict" /><ref name="APverdict" /> although the court reduced the punitive damages to $350,000 due to a limit imposed by Virginia state law.<ref name="NPRreduced" /> They also ruled that Depp had defamed Heard through Waldman, who had falsely alleged that Heard and her friends "roughed up" Depp's penthouse as part of an "ambush, a hoax".<ref name="CNverdict" /><ref name="BBCVerdict">((cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61668780|title=Depp-Heard trial: Jury sides mostly with Depp in defamation case|date=June 2, 2022|work=[[BBC News]]|access-date=September 18, 2023|archive-date=June 22, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220622115502/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61668780|url-status=live))</ref> They awarded Heard $2&nbsp;million in compensatory damages and $0 in punitive damages from Depp.<ref name="CNverdict" /><ref name="APverdict" /> Separately, the jury ruled that Waldman's other allegations of Heard's "sexual violence hoax" and "abuse hoax" against Depp had been proven defamatory.<ref name="APverdict" />

After the trial ended, Heard put forth motions to set aside the verdict, but was unsuccessful. Then, both Depp and Heard appealed against the respective verdicts. In December 2022, both parties reached a settlement and dropped their appeals, with Depp's lawyers Benjamin Chew and [[Camille Vasquez]] stating that Depp would receive $1 million from Heard.<ref>((Cite web |title=Brown Rudnick Helps Johnny Depp Resolve Defamation Case |url=https://brownrudnick.com/press_release/brown-rudnick-helps-johnny-depp-resolve-defamation-case/ |access-date=2023-09-28 |website=Brown Rudnick |language=en-US))</ref>

They set Mr. Depp up by calling the cops but the first attempt didn't do the trick. The officers came to the penthouses, thoroughly searched and interviewed, and left after seeing no damage to face or property.

==== Opening statements ====
[[Opening statement]]s were made on April 12, 2022. Lawyers representing Depp accused Heard of fabricating domestic abuse accusations against Depp to further her career, saying that Heard made such allegations because Depp had asked for a divorce, and they further accused Heard of being the actual abuser in the relationship.<ref name="guardian_OS">((Cite news |last=Helmore |first=Edward |date=April 12, 2022 |title=Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial: jurors hear conflicting accounts of marriage |work=[[The Guardian]] |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/apr/12/johnny-depp-amber-heard-trial-opening-day |url-status=live |access-date=April 15, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220415003522/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/apr/12/johnny-depp-amber-heard-trial-opening-day |archive-date=April 15, 2022))</ref> They argued that, while Heard's 2018 op-ed did not mention Depp, it was clear by implication that it referred to him, and that Heard's writing in the piece ("Then two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse") was a reference to her May 2016 restraining order request, in which she alleged that Depp had physically abused her. Depp's lawyers discussed Heard appearing in public with a bruised face on May 27, 2016, accusing her of staging the injury, citing that Depp had not met her since May 21, 2016, and that his witnesses had seen her without the injury in the days between May 21, 2016, and May 27, 2016. They also discussed several instances in which Depp alleges Heard instigated physical violence against him.<ref name="Barakat" />

Heard's lawyers claimed that Depp had physically and sexually abused Heard on multiple occasions throughout their relationship, usually triggered by his addiction to both alcohol and drugs.<ref name="Barakat" /><ref name=guardian_OS/><ref name="sky_OS">((Cite news |last=Peplow |first=Gemma |date=April 12, 2022 |title=Johnny Depp and Amber Heard face off in court on first day of 'soap opera' libel trial in Virginia |work=[[Sky News]] |url=https://news.sky.com/story/johnny-depp-and-amber-heard-face-off-in-court-on-first-day-of-soap-opera-libel-trial-in-virginia-12588780 |url-status=live |access-date=April 15, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220415124850/https://news.sky.com/story/johnny-depp-and-amber-heard-face-off-in-court-on-first-day-of-soap-opera-libel-trial-in-virginia-12588780 |archive-date=April 15, 2022))</ref> They accused Depp of seeking to "humiliate [Heard], haunt her, wreck her career" with the Virginia lawsuit and to turn the case into a "soap opera".<ref name=guardian_OS/> They further argued that the [[First Amendment]] protected Heard's right to express her views in the op-ed, which was mostly focused on a broad discussion of domestic violence and did not explicitly mention Depp's name. Finally, Heard's lawyers stated that the allegations had not changed Depp's reputation, as they had become public knowledge two years prior to the op-ed, and that Depp had instead ruined his Hollywood career himself with his drinking and drug use; this made him "unreliable" in the eyes of major film studios.<ref name="Barakat" /><ref name="sky_OS" />

===Post-trial motions===

On July 1, 2022, Heard's legal team asked the court to set aside the verdict in favor of Depp in its entirety, dismiss the complaint or order a new trial. Their arguments included that (1) Heard "never edited or played any role with respect to the headline" and "never even became aware of the headline until Mr. Depp filed the lawsuit against her";<ref name="Hennessy 07.01.22">((Cite web |last=Hennessy |first=Joan |date=July 1, 2022 |title=Amber Heard's attorneys ask court to set aside defamation verdict |url=https://www.courthousenews.com/amber-heards-attorneys-ask-court-to-set-aside-defamation-verdict/ |access-date=2022-09-11 |website=Courthouse News |language=en-US |archive-date=July 3, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220703025101/https://www.courthousenews.com/amber-heards-attorneys-ask-court-to-set-aside-defamation-verdict/ |url-status=live ))</ref> (2) that "Depp's award was excessive" and that, though Depp had "represented to the court he would limit his damages to the period Dec. 18, 2018 through Nov. 2, 2020," he "continued to urge the jury to restore his reputation and legacy to his children as a result of Ms. Heard accusing Mr. Depp in May 2016 of domestic violence";<ref>((cite magazine|last=Bryant|first=Kenzie|date=July 5, 2022|title=Amber Heard Seeks to Throw Out Verdict of Johnny Depp's Defamation Case|access-date=September 5, 2022|magazine=Vanity Fair|url=https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2022/07/amber-heard-seeks-to-throw-out-verdict-of-johnny-depps-defamation-case|archive-date=July 16, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220716014529/https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2022/07/amber-heard-seeks-to-throw-out-verdict-of-johnny-depps-defamation-case|url-status=live))</ref> (3) one juror was listed as born in 1945 in a court list, but public information "demonstrates that he appears to have been born in 1970".<ref>((cite news|date=July 3, 2022|last=Helmore|first=Edward|title=Amber Heard's attorneys request defamation verdict be tossed|access-date=September 5, 2022|work=The Guardian|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jul/03/amber-heard-johnny-depp-defamation-case-verdict-tossed-request|archive-date=September 4, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220904173055/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jul/03/amber-heard-johnny-depp-defamation-case-verdict-tossed-request|url-status=live))</ref><ref name="Hennessy 07.01.22"/>

On July 13, 2022, Azcarate denied several of Heard's post-trial motions for "reasons stated on the record" but provided further explanation regarding the disputed juror. She stated that the summons issued to the juror "listed his legal name and address and no birth date was noted", that the juror had provided his proper birth date when answering a court questionnaire and that Heard's legal team had neither alleged nor "shown evidence of prejudice" by the juror. She also noted that the parties had "[[Voir dire|questioned the jury panel]] for a full day and informed the court that the jury panel was acceptable"; and that "a party cannot wait until receiving an adverse verdict to object, for the first time, to an issue known since the beginning of trial."<ref name="PostReject">((cite news |last1=Hennessy |first1=Joan |title=Virginia judge denies Heard bid for new trial in Depp defamation case |url=https://www.courthousenews.com/virginia-judge-denies-heard-bid-for-new-trial-in-depp-defamation-case/ |access-date=July 15, 2022 |work=[[Courthouse News]] |date=July 13, 2022 |archive-date=July 16, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220716112418/https://www.courthousenews.com/virginia-judge-denies-heard-bid-for-new-trial-in-depp-defamation-case/ |url-status=live ))</ref> She concluded that "[t]he only evidence before this court is that this juror and all jurors followed their oaths, the court's instructions and orders.

Heard and Depp settled the case in December 2022 and dropped their appeals, with Heard stating that even if her appeal had succeeded, she "simply cannot go through" a retrial having "lost faith in the American legal system". She maintained that the settlement was "not an act of concession" and that she had not agreed to any "restrictions or [[Gag order|gags]]" going forward. Depp's lawyers stated that the "jury's unanimous decision and the resulting judgement in Mr. Depp's favor against Ms. Heard remain fully in place", and that the settlement would result in $1&nbsp;million being paid to Depp by Heard's insurance, which "Depp is pledging and will donate to charities".<ref>((cite news |last1=Honderich |first1=Holly |title=Amber Heard settles defamation case against Johnny Depp |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64031252 |access-date=December 19, 2022 |work=[[BBC News]] |date=December 19, 2022 |archive-date=December 19, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221219153106/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64031252 |url-status=live ))</ref><ref>((cite news |last1=Diaz |first1=Merrit |title=Amber Heard said she has decided to settle Johnny Depp's case against her |url=https://www.npr.org/2022/12/19/1144132687/amber-heard-johnny-depp-settlement |access-date=December 20, 2022 |work=[[NPR]] |date=December 19, 2022 |archive-date=December 19, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221219234326/https://www.npr.org/2022/12/19/1144132687/amber-heard-johnny-depp-settlement |url-status=live ))</ref>

Prior to the publication of the op-ed in 2018, Heard took out homeowner's insurance carrier policies with two companies that covered costs associated with defamation lawsuits. One of these companies, New York Marine and General Insurance Co., filed a lawsuit against Heard following the verdict, claiming that because the jury ruled the defamatory statements were made with "[[actual malice]]", they were exempt from providing [[indemnity]] to Heard.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.reuters.com/legal/legalindustry/how-insurance-plays-into-johnny-depp-v-amber-heard-defamation-trial-2023-02-10/|title=How insurance plays into the Johnny Depp v.

==Reactions==
The trial drew much attention from supporters of either Depp or Heard as well as the broader public. At the start of the trial, several legal experts suggested that Depp had a smaller chance of winning than he did in the previous UK trial, citing the strong free speech protections in the US.<ref name=":72">((Cite news |date=June 2, 2022|last=Levinson-King|first=Robin|title=Depp-Heard trial: Why Johnny Depp lost in the UK but won in the US |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61673676 |access-date=June 6, 2022 |archive-date=June 5, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220605133001/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61673676 |url-status=live ))</ref><ref name=":822"/>

The decision by Judge Azcarate to allow livestreaming, a rarity in Virginia courts, has been criticized. Some observers expressed concern that it would discourage victims of domestic violence from speaking out; [[Michele Dauber]], a professor at Stanford Law School, stated, "Allowing this trial to be televised is the single worst decision I can think of in the context of intimate partner violence and sexual violence in recent history, it has ramifications way beyond this case."<ref name="Variety televised">((Cite web |last1=Maddaus |first1=Gene |date=May 27, 2022 |title=Why Was Depp-Heard Trial Televised?

Amanda Hess, a critic writing for ''[[The New York Times]]'', opined that the broadcasting of the trial "is an invitation for the proceedings to be deliberately, even gleefully tailored to a viewer's whim", with internet platforms like TikTok and YouTube being "practically built to manipulate raw visual materials in the service of a personality cult, harassment campaign or branding opportunity."<ref name="nyt-sensationalized">((Cite news |last=Hess |first=Amanda |date=May 26, 2022 |title=TikTok's Amber Heard Hate Machine |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/26/arts/amber-heard-tiktok-johnny-depp.html |access-date=June 4, 2022 |issn=0362-4331 |archive-date=June 3, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220603210941/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/26/arts/amber-heard-tiktok-johnny-depp.html |url-status=live ))</ref> On the other hand, Kellie Lynch, an associate professor of criminology and criminal justice at [[The University of Texas at San Antonio]], praised the trial for "afford[ing] an opportunity to openly discuss the nuances of IPV that are often overlooked".<ref>((Cite web |last=Lynch |first=Kellie |date=June 1, 2022 |title=Heard v.

=== Podcast ===
In 2024, an investigation—for a six-part [[Tortoise Media]] podcast series titled ''Who Trolled Amber?''—by the British [[investigative journalism|investigative journalist]] Alexi Mostrous uncovered that, from at least November 2020 through 2022, Heard and her supporters were the victims of a massive coordinated global online attack by [[Internet bot|bots]] and [[Troll_(slang)#Corporate,_political,_and_special-interest_sponsored_trolls|trolls]].<ref name="WTA_Telegraph">((cite news |last=Singh |first=Anita |date=February 27, 2024 |title=Amber Heard 'trolled by Saudi-backed bots' during Johnny Depp court battles |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/27/amber-heard-trolling-campaign-tortoise-media-johnny-depp/ |url-status=live |work=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |location=[[London]], [[England]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240407075052/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/27/amber-heard-trolling-campaign-tortoise-media-johnny-depp/ |archive-date=April 7, 2024 |access-date=April 10, 2024))</ref><ref name="WTA_Tortoise">((cite news |last1=Mostrous |first1=Alexi | last2=Greenwood |first2=Xavier |date=February 26, 2024 |title=Depp v Heard: who trolled Amber? |url=https://www.tortoisemedia.com/2024/02/26/depp-v-heard-who-trolled-amber/ |url-status=live |work=[[Tortoise Media]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240314031453/https://www.tortoisemedia.com/2024/02/26/depp-v-heard-who-trolled-amber/ |archive-date=March 14, 2024 |access-date=April 10, 2024))</ref>

* More than half of more than a million tweets attacking Heard came from "inauthentic accounts".
*Multiple twitter accounts supporting Depp and attacking Heard, and displaying suspicious activity, were part of the [[House of Saud|Saudi monarchy's]] infamous "E-flies," which is a network of bots and paid-for trolls.
*Depp and [[Mohammed bin Salman]], the [[Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia]], have a close relationship that stretches all the way back to 2016.<ref name="WTA_GQ">((cite news |last=Schofield |first=Daisy |date=February 28, 2024 |title=Inside the podcast exposing the Saudi bot army mobilised to take down Amber Heard |url=https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/who-trolled-amber-heard-alexi-mostrous-podcast-interview/ |url-status=live |work=[[GQ]] |location=[[New York City]], [[New York (state)|New York]], U.S. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240406224230/https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/who-trolled-amber-heard-alexi-mostrous-podcast-interview/ |archive-date=April 6, 2024 |access-date=April 10, 2024))</ref><ref name="Depp_Saudi_VanityFair">((cite news |last=Hope |first=Bradley |date=February 28, 2024 |title=Inside Johnny Depp's Epic Bromance With Saudi Crown Prince MBS |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/johnny-depp-mbs-saudi-arabia/ |url-status=live |work=[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]] |location=[[United States]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240214131348/https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/johnny-depp-mbs-saudi-arabia/ |archive-date=February 14, 2024 |access-date=April 10, 2024))</ref>
*Adam Waldman—Depp's lawyer who was kicked off the 2022 trial<ref name="Waldman_Out" /> for leaking sensitive court documents to pro-Depp YouTubers and who continues to represent him—has worked for, and is friends with, several Russian oligarchs including [[Oleg Deripaska]] and [[Sergey Lavrov]].<ref name="Waldman_Russia_FT">((cite news |last1=Stacey |first1=Kiran |last2=Gilbert |first2=Caitlin |date=March 16, 2022 |title=US lobbyists made millions from Russian clients with Kremlin links |url=https://www.ft.com/content/93cb5eee-0684-4276-9479-d867f0e4cdea |url-status=live |work=[[Financial Times]] |location=[[London]], [[England]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221216034030/https://www.ft.com/content/93cb5eee-0684-4276-9479-d867f0e4cdea |archive-date=December 16, 2022 |access-date=April 10, 2024))</ref>

*Other pro-Depp bot accounts, besides the Saudi-based ones, operating from multiple countries including [[Thailand]] and [[Spain]].
*A coordinated network of accounts on Twitter that, at the very same time in November 2020, sent more than 100 copies of the message "This brand supports domestic violence against men" to all brands working with Heard.
*At least one twitter account that was previously engaged in raising tensions for a right-wing political candidate in [[Chile]] that, in 2020, suddenly changed its profile description and online identity and started tweeting only pro-Depp and anti-Heard content.
*Multiple pro-Depp accounts that were using [[Artificial Intelligence]]-generated (AI-generated) images or stolen photos to attempt to pass themselves off as genuine accounts.

According to Mostrous, these findings strongly suggest that support for Depp and the hate directed towards Heard before, during, and after the trial were, to a significant extent, inorganic in the sense that they were largely "manufactured" by a global network of bots and trolls.<ref name="WTA_Tortoise" /><ref name="WTA_GQ" />

Along with grifters, misogynists, and "real-life Depp fans," these bots and trolls, Mostrous maintained, created an online atmosphere that made it impossible for Heard to have gotten a fair and just trial. This is because the jurors in the trial were unsequestered and, as such, their verdict in favor of Depp could have been influenced by the manufactured anti-Heard online hate.<ref name="WTA_GQ" /><ref name="WTA_FT">((cite news |last=Sturges |first=Fiona |date=February 26, 2024 |title=Who Trolled Amber? explores Depp vs Heard's social media fallout — podcast review |url=https://www.ft.com/content/e2984adb-41c6-400a-b90e-df6cef7928f6 |url-status=live |work=[[Financial Times]] |location=[[London]], [[England]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240306110611/https://www.ft.com/content/e2984adb-41c6-400a-b90e-df6cef7928f6 |archive-date=March 6, 2024 |access-date=April 10, 2024))</ref>
