Lisa Rinna is done with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!

Putting the feud to rest. Amber Heard has officially settled with Johnny Depp amid their contentious defamation lawsuit.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star originally filed a defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife in March 2019, a year after she penned an op-ed for the Washington Post in which she described herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” Seeing as the article came a year after their divorce, many assumed she was referencing Depp despite the fact she never called him by name.
After a weeks-long trial in Virginia earlier this year, a jury decided they had both defamed each other, though the verdict largely sided with Depp. Heard was slammed with a court order to pay $10.35 million in damages while her former partner only had to pay $2 million for a statement made by his attorney. But, of course, they both filed appeals and it was seeming like they might have to head into a new trial to settle the case for good. Until now!

On Monday, the Aquaman star announced she has called an end to the case by agreeing to a settlement with the actor. In a statement shared on Instagram, the 36-year-old revealed:
She went on to slam the US legal system for allowing her to become the center of such heated media scrutiny — much unlike the 2020 case in the UK in which she was The Sun’s chief witness when Depp sued the British tabloid for calling him a “wife beater.” She noted:
We cannot fault her there. What she went through was intense! We suspect doing it all over again would only be more challenging.

The failure-to-success ratio of such attempts should keep any sane stage director as far from a movie house as humanly possible.
