The six-week trial began when Depp filed a defamation case against his ex-wife for the op-ed she wrote in 2018 in The Washington Post about domestic violence. Although she did not mention Depp's name in the article, he claimed that it made it difficult for him to land roles in the industry. The verdict was announced early on the morning of June 2 and several fans of Depp gathered outside the court to celebrate the big win. Depp, however, was not present in court for the verdict, as reported by People, he had 'previously scheduled work commitments' that he made before the trial. The publication stated that although the actor would not be present in court, he would watch the verdict from the United Kingdom.
