Johnny and Amber Heard separated after filing for divorce in 2016. Post their divorce, Amber had pledged to donate her divorce settlement to the Children’s Hospital. However, in Johnny and Amber's recent defamation trial, it was revealed that Amber had failed to do so.

Reacting to the actor’s donation, a fan wrote on Twitter, “And this, ladies and gentlemen, is philanthropy. And the difference between an unfulfilled pledge, and a straight donation.” “No wondering about pledge or donation synonymously or not here. Every time I think I couldn’t be prouder of that man, he proves me wrong. AMAZING,” added another one.

After losing the defamation trial against Johnny, Amber’s legal team recently moved the Fairfax court to set aside the verdict against her or seek a fresh trial reportedly. According toCourt House News, Johnny’s legal team dismissed the appeal. In an email, lawyer Ben Chew, who represents Johnny, called the appeal “what we expected, just longer, no more substantive.”

Johnny and Amber met while filming The Rum Diaries in 2010. They married secretly in 2015. Their divorce was finalised in 2017.
