Amber Heard issues a statement after the verdict was announced in the defamation trial.
Following six weeks of testimony from witnesses for both Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, the seven-person jury in the defamation trial found the actress guilty of defamation. In the wake of this decision, Heard has released a statement stating her disappointment at the verdict.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The trial brought to the fore a troubled marriage between the movie stars who were married between 2015 and 2017. Depp sued Heard for $50 million in the Fairfax County of Virginia following her 2018 op-ed, where the actress described herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse”. Heard counter-sued Depp for $100 million citing statements made by Depp’s former attorney Adam Waldman in April 2019. Mr. Waldman called Ms. Heard’s accusations an "abuse hoax.
The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband. I believe Johnny's attorneys succeeded in getting the jury to overlook the key issue of Freedom of Speech and ignore evidence that was so conclusive that we won in the UK.
