“She has some excellent grounds for it. She was demonized here. A number of things were allowed in this court that should not have been allowed, and it caused the jury to be confused. The damages are completely skewed. There are no damages. It stopped on November 2, 2020, which is when the judgment came down in the UK. [Can she pay the damages?] Oh no. Absolutely not. Really what happened here is a tale of two trials. It’s a horrible message. As I said, it’s a setback. It’s a significant setback because that’s exactly what it means. Unless you pull out your phone and you video your spouse or your significant another beating you, effectively you won’t be believed.”
Even though the jury mainly judged in favor of Johnny Depp against his ex-wife, Depp was still found responsible for one count of defamation against his wife. This resulted in the award of $2 million in damages while Depp was awarded $10 million. However, Bredehoft’s comments considering the trial verdict mainly come under the point with that of her client’s statement, criticizing the outcome as a “setback”.
