But you’re testifying, and you’re telling me today, ‘I never started a physical fight,’ and here you are on tape saying you did.” Those recordings became a central talking point online and in the courtroom, as Depp’s legal team called into question Heard’s credibility. The seven-person jury ultimately ruled in Depp’s favor after finding “clear and convincing evidence” that Heard defamed him. Heard countersued for $100 million, claiming Depp’s former lawyer defamed her when he called her claims of abuse “a hoax.” Heard was awarded $2 million when the jury found Depp’s lawyer defamed her on one count. For his part, Depp sought to absolve himself of allegations made by Heard in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she described herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” Though Heard never named Depp, the actor’s attorneys argued that the opinion piece referenced claims she made at the time of their 2016 divorce.

Amber Heard sat down with Savannah Guthrie on NBC's 'Today' show to discuss the trial and its aftermath.

A Virginia jury found that Heard defamed Depp in 2018 when she wrote a Washington Post op-ed alluding to being a victim of domestic violence. It was evidence of a negotiation of how to talk about that with your abuser.” You cannot tell me that you think that this has been fair.” The hashtag “Justice for Amber Heard” has received 27 million views. And so I don’t take it personally.” She also adding her own interpretation of the First Amendment, saying, “It’s a freedom to speak truth to power, and that’s alI I spoke. When you’re living in violence and it becomes normal, as I testified to, you have to adapt.” Depp, on the other hand, was seen favorably in the eyes of many social media users, with the TikTok hashtag “Justice for Johnny Depp” bringing in 20 billion views. Regarding the social media circus surrounding the trial, Heard said, “I think even the most well-intentioned juror…it would have been impossible to avoid this. In fact, my evidence was largely kept out.” But Heard said Depp’s victory came because, “His lawyers did a better job at distracting the jury from the real issues.” This is not only about our First Amendment rights to speak.” When asked about people watching the trial that might think both stars are to blame, Head said, “I would not blame the average person for looking at this and how it’s been covered and not think that it is Hollywood brats at their worst.

In her first public interview since losing a defamation case brought against her by Johnny Depp, her ex-husband, Ms. Heard said she had told the truth when ...

In one of the messages, which are from 2014, Mr. Deuters wrote to Ms. Heard that Mr. Depp had cried when Mr. Deuters told him that Mr. Depp had “kicked” Ms. Heard. He had been referring to an incident on a private plane in which, Ms. Heard has testified, Mr. Depp kicked her in the back before passing out in the bathroom while intoxicated. In that incident, Ms. Heard testified, Mr. Depp head-butted her and tore out clumps of her hair — which Mr. Depp denied. Mr. Depp lost that case, and the British judge was persuaded that Mr. Depp had physically abused Ms. Heard repeatedly throughout their relationship. In the London trial, Mr. Deuters denied that Mr. Depp had kicked Ms. Heard, saying he wrote that text message to mollify her. Mr. Depp testified that Ms. Heard was violent toward him, and not the other way around. In the courtroom. The six-week trial turned into an internet obsession fueled by courtroom sound bites made accessible by a pair of cameras filming the proceedings for livestreams and television broadcasts. The judge in Virginia also denied the admission of a psychotherapist’s notes, from 2015, in which the psychotherapist documented that Ms. Heard texted him, “Johnny did a number on me tonight” and asked for help. She added that she had “never felt more removed from my own humanity.” In an interview with “Today” last week, a lawyer for Mr. Depp, Benjamin Chew, said the evidence that should have been admitted was admitted and that “the judge was very fair to both sides.” Camille Vasquez, another lawyer for Mr. Depp, took issue with the suggestion that the jury had been influenced by social media, saying that they had reminded them every evening of the trial to avoid any media about the case. We were awful to each other.” The $10.35 million award to Mr. Depp was offset by a $2 million award for Ms. Heard. The jury found that Mr. Depp had defamed Ms. Heard in one instance, when a lawyer who had previously represented him during the defamation proceedings made a statement to a British tabloid accusing her of damaging the couple’s penthouse and blaming it on Mr. Depp.

It was evidence of a negotiation on how to talk about that with your abuser.” “I never had to instigate it,” she said.
