Johnny Depp donates $1 million defamation settlement to 5 charities.

Actor Johnny Depp is donating the $1 million settlement he received from his ex-wife, Amber Heard, to several charities, including Make-A-Film Foundation, The Painted Turtle, Red Feather, Tetiaroa Society, and Amazonia Fund Alliance. Last year, a jury awarded Depp $15 million in punitive and compensatory damages over a 2018 op-ed Heard wrote in the Washington Post in which she accused him of domestic abuse. The op-ed never mentioned Depp by name, but the jury found Heard defamed Depp by implication since the time frame she referenced was the same time she was married to Depp.
