Amber Heard can't afford to pay Johnny Depp $8m

His lawyers gave their first interviews on Wednesday in which when asked about the possibility of dropping damages, they said the case was never about money. In a statement, Heard expressed “disappointment beyond words” and said she was heartbroken, claiming the verdict was a “setback” for women. She has decided to appeal the verdict and is “unable to pay” the damages. Celebrities who have spoken up in her defence have been bombarded with negative comments by Depp fans.
