While the judge initially ruled against Johnny Depp because he found Amber Heard to be truthful, the appeal was based on the claim that she lied. Depp’s legal team argued that the actress had not donated her $7 million divorce settlement, which she claimed she had done, and thus, in telling this one apparent lie, the rest of her testimony was in question. The court hearing the appeal did not find that the statement had a significant impact on the decision, though it did not make a claim as to the statement’s truthfulness.
