Heard has sued for Depp’s recent legal victory in their defamation trial to be thrown out, his $10m damages awarded nullified and a new trial ordered.
The trial judge, Penny Azcarte, tossed all her claims in a ruling delivered earlier today.
Amber Heard and her team alleged misconduct in the jury process and said that invalidated the entire trial.

They claimed Depp’s $10m victory was too excessive and wanted a new trial.
Justice Azcarte declined.
“Defendant does not allege Juror Fifteen’s inclusion on the jury prejudiced her in any way,” the judge wrote.
“The juror was vetted, sat for the entire jury, deliberated, and reached a verdict. The only evidence before this Court is that this juror and all jurors followed their oaths, the Court’s instructions, and orders. This Court is bound by the competent decision of the jury.” the judgement added.
Former co-stars, lovers and then married couple Johnny Depp and Amber Heard had a bitter divorce.
As you’ll recollect, Heard wrote a damaging op-ed alleging abuse from Johnny during their tumultuous 4 years together.
Depp sued her for defamation and incredibly, won a $10m judgment.
