Amber Heard Thought Insurance Company Would Pay Out: Oops!

Johnny Depp may face an unusually long wait for the money that Amber Heard owes him. Because although the trial ended with a win for Depp, Heard reportedly cannot pay out. And her assumption that her insurance company would shell out the big bucks turned out to be a miscalculation, reported the Daily Mail. 

Amber had thought that her $1 million liability policy would cover a portion of the $8.3 million in damages that she now must pay to Depp. But that policy with New York Marine and General Insurance Company includes certain requirements. And though it does include wrongful conduct, one very specific clause could turn into a financial disaster for Heard.

Because the insurance company issued the policy in California, the state’s laws apply. And that means the company can decline the payout if the actress committed a certain category of defamation. As a result, the judgment that Heard appears guilty of both “malicious” and “willful” defamation could mean the insurance company can keep its money.

Amber Heard wants her insurance company to cover a portion of the verdict Johnny Depp won against her, but the insurance co. says Amber's own conduct allows them to tell her to pound sand. https://t.co/blGhfIlZyq

Amber Heard’s Insurance Company Awaits Judge’s Verdict

However, Amber’s insurance company has now turned to the judge, according to TMZ. New York Marine insurance company hopes the judge will confirm that the policy and law concur that the company does not bear the responsibility of paying Heard’s bill. And social media commentators weighed in on the situation to play judge and jury.

For instance, one Reddit follower of the Amber Heard versus Johnny Depp trial shared, “I think that was a given. Insurance never covers incidents where the person purposely caused the problem.” And another pointed out, “If you commit arson and burn down your house you will not be able to collect insurance. Amber burned her reputation and future career prospects and insurance will not cover it either.” 

Others claimed to have predicted the situation. “I said this would happen after she lost,” wrote one commentator. “No way is insurance going to pay for something she did intentionally. If you hit someone with your car accidentally, insurance should cover it. If you do it intentionally, they will not.” And the critic also alleged that Amber Heard “internationally made up these stories, she committed defamation with malice. She knowingly lied to harm someone,” concluded the commentator.
