The defamation case of Amber Heard against her ex-husband Johnny Depp who she accused of abuse is being widely covered in the media worldwide. Though Johny Depp had demanded $50 million as compensation for the defamation, the jury awarded him $15 million .
Amber Heard was awarded $2 million compensation.
One of the reasons Johnny Depp got more compensation is because the jury behaved like most people will do, they usually favor a more powerful person. Male actors usually have a longer career, and Depp’s daughter is also a popular model.
In contrast, Amber Heard is 36, and may be old for a lead actress.
