Amber Heard Begs Johnny Depp To Reduce Debt During Secret Meeting? The Truth

Amber Heard reportedly made a shocking move before proceeding in appealing the trial against Johnny Depp.

Heard's finances have been in great turmoil as her net worth is not enough to cover the money she owes Depp. For what it's worth, the court urged her to pay $10.35 million damages after losing the defamation trial.

The jury notably gave Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages - although the latter was reduced to $350,000 due to the state's statutory cap or legal limit.

Although she was also awarded $2 million for winning a part of her countersuit, the "Aquaman" actress still could not cover the amount that she reportedly begged the actor to reduce the amount.

A foreign site, elnacional.cat, recently published an article about Heard's alleged secret meet-up with her estranged husband. Marca reposted the report and revealed that the actress asked him to reduce the damages.

However, they purportedly failed to reach an agreement.

As a result, Heard asked her team to proceed with appealing the verdict.

This, however, should be taken with a grain of salt as no other news outlets reported it yet. Depp and Heard's camps are yet to confirm it, as well.

But it was already revealed by Elaine Bredehoft that the actress could not pay the damages. She told TODAY that Heard paid over $6 million in legal costs for the trial so far.

She also blamed social media for "demonizing" her client.

"I was against cameras in the courtroom, and I went on record with that and had argued against it because of the sensitive nature of this. But it made it a zoo," she said, per Daily Dots.

Amber Heard Asks Court To Dismiss Verdict

The shocking information came out after the actress's attorneys started appealing the verdict.

On Friday, the lawyers filed a document to Fairfax County Circuit Court judge and listed the "flaws" in the trial.

The 43-page memorandum, shared by Courthouse News Service, stated that the award was "unsupported by evidence." They also claimed that court officials did not properly vet one juror.

"[Johnny Depp] proceeded solely on a defamation by implication theory, abandoning any claims that Ms. Heard's statements were actually false," Bredehoft, Heard's lead attorney, said.

Heard's team added that the latter reason - her allegation against the juror - was about Juror 15. The document mentioned that the juror was clearly born later than 1945.

They argued that the discrepancy proved that the court failed to properly vet the members of the jury.
