Following the initial court ruling, the former couple decided to settle in December 2022. Heard stated that it was a “very difficult decision” and emphasized that it was “not an act of concession.” In an Instagram post, she expressed her perspective on the settlement, saying, “It’s important for me to say that I never chose this. I defended my truth, and in doing so, my life as I knew it was destroyed.”

Heard went on to address the challenges faced by women who come forward with allegations of abuse, highlighting the vilification she experienced on social media. She emphasized that settling the case would allow her to emancipate herself from a situation she had attempted to leave over six years ago, on terms that she could agree to. Heard made it clear that she had not made any admission and there were no restrictions or gags on her ability to speak out in the future.

Speaking about the settlement amount, Heard acknowledged that it is not uncommon for individuals speaking the truth to face financial hardship. She expressed concerns about the potential risk of bankruptcy, which could have devastating psychological, physical, and emotional consequences. “Women shouldn’t have to face abuse or bankruptcy for speaking their truth, but unfortunately, it is not uncommon,” she added.

In a display of generosity, Johnny Depp has decided to donate the entire $1 million settlement to five charities. The chosen organizations include the Make-A-Film Foundation, The Painted Turtle, Red Feather, Tetiaroa Society, and Amazonia Fund Alliance. Each charity will receive a donation of $200,000, as reported by People Magazine.

While Heard has chosen to move to Spain following the trial, expressing her love for the country, Depp recently made an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival to promote his new movie, ‘Jeanne Du Barry’.
