Heard accused her ex-husband Johnny Depp of having assaulted her on more than 14 times.
She said she had, at times, been in fear for her life and left with a broken nose, black eyes and split lip.
On November 2, 2020, a judge in London’s High Court ruled the Depp beat his ex-wife 12 out of 14 times – starting in 2013 when he slapped the actress when she made a comment about his tattoo.
The judge ruled Depp's feelings towards his wife during their turbulent three-year relationship were summed up in a text where the actor revealed he had "no mercy" for her.
He dismissed two allegations made by Heard in 2014 and 2015 but said he couldn't conclude she had been "untruthful" about it.
Mr Justice Nicol also threw out Depp’s defamation case after finding The Sun's "wife beater" story – which had always been staunchly backed by Heard – was accurate.
