[149] The jury also reached a verdict for the counterclaim that Heard filed against Depp. In the case of the counterclaim, the jury was tasked to decide if Heard had proven all elements of defamation regarding three statements made by Adam Waldman, one of Depp’s lawyers, in the 27 April 2020 edition of the Daily Mail. The jury ruled that defamation was proven for one of Waldman’s statements.

[154] Depp was labeled a ‘wife-beater’ by The Sun, for which Depp sued the NGN, The Sun’s parent media company in the UK.
[155] Regardless of the status that Heard achieved by accusing Depp of abuse, it appears to have faded by December 2023. By then, Heard was no longer listed on the Harry Walker Agency website or recognized as a UN Human Rights Champion. In January 2024, she was removed from the ACLU ambassadorship, a title she obtained in 2018 when she published the op-ed and held for five years as an ‘ambassador for women’s rights, focusing on gender-based violence.’

[188] As reported by the Inquiry, there was evidence that at a very young age, Judge Couwenberg had lived in a detention camp in Indonesia. After moving to the Netherlands, he had suffered the difficulties of racial discrimination. In the opinion of the expert psychiatrist who diagnosed the judge’s pathological lying condition, the disadvantaged childhood conditions produced low self-esteem that would mediate the psychiatric condition.
