Amber Heard, star of “Aquaman,” was denied a fresh trial in her defamation lawsuit against ex-husband Johnny Depp on Wednesday after a judge dismissed her lawyers’ allegation that one of the jurors had served unlawfully.

In June, a jury in Fairfax County, Virginia, ordered Heard to pay Depp $10.35 million in damages after finding she had defamed the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor in a newspaper opinion article.

Her counsel had requested the court in the case to overturn the judgment and declare a mistrial, claiming that one of the jurors should not have been allowed to serve since his summons was intended for his father, who had the same name and resided at the same location.

The jury’s finding should remain, according to Judge Penny Azcarate, because there was “no indication of fraud or malfeasance” by the juror. She also stated that at the commencement of the trial, both parties questioned and accepted all jurors.

“Due process was guaranteed and provided to all parties in this litigation,” Azcarate said.

In 2010, Depp,  sued Heard, claiming she defamed him by referring to herself as “a public figure symbolizing domestic abuse” in an opinion article published in The Washington Post. Depp denied assaulting Heard, 36, and said she was the one who made their relationship violent.

Heard countersued, claiming that Depp slandered her when his lawyer referred to her allegations as a “hoax,” and a jury awarded her $2 million in damages on one of her counterclaims. Heard stated that she only struck Depp to defend herself or her sister.
