Amber Heard Releases Statement After Jury Rules She Defamed Johnny Depp
Amber Heard has released a statement after a jury found that she defamed Johnny Depp.
“The disappointment I feel today is beyond words,” Amber said in a statement
“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.
It sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated.
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.
I’m sad I lost this case. But I am sadder still that I seem to have lost a right I thought I had as an American – to speak freely and openly.”
