More than 6,000 pages of sealed pretrial documents were unsealed and made public two months after Heard was found liable for defaming Depp in a highly publicized courtroom battle in Virginia, providing insight into matters that attorneys for both sides wanted to keep from the jury

In the lawsuit, Depp's lawyers claimed that the Aquaman star "concocted the story in hopes of generating positive publicity and advancing her career," despite the fact that she never mentioned Depp by name in the essay.

Almost ten and a half million dollars were awarded to Heard's ex-husband at trial, and Heard has filed an appeal of the verdict.

While Heard was awarded $2 million in her countersuit against Depp, Depp attempts to have the verdict overturned.

Heard's lawyers argued in court documents that "nude pictures of Amber Heard" were "irrelevant personal matters" and should be excluded from the televised trial
