In a long-awaited resolution to one of Hollywood’s most publicized legal fights, actress Amber Heard has finally paid ex-husband Johnny Depp the $1 million settlement he owed him, per TMZ.
The bitter feud between Heard and Depp began in 2016 when the actress filed for divorce and obtained a temporary restraining order against Depp, claiming he had physically abused her. Depp vehemently denied the allegations and claimed Heard was the intruder in their relationship. Their public dispute quickly turned into a media circus, with each side accusing the other of wrongdoing.

In 2016, the former couple reached a settlement agreement, including a $7 million divorce settlement that Depp had to pay Heard.

After several appeals and counter-appeals, the legal saga finally came to an end when Heard paid the outstanding $1 million settlement owed to Depp. According to Daily Mail, the actor’s legal teams were forced to reach an agreement after Heard was ordered to pay $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million (later reduced to $365,000, the maximum allowed under Virginia state law) in punitive damages, and Depp was told to pay $2 million in defamation damages.
