Actor Johnny Depp won his defamation battle against his ex-wife Amber Heard last month, with the jury awarding him $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.

But now, Depp owes the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) $38,000 for the attorneys’ fees in complying with a subpoena for evidence he used in his defamation case.
