During her testimony amid the defamation case, the actress stated that she is “bombarded” online by “vitriol” and death threats from some of Depp’s followers, with threats even made on her young daughter.
Amber Heard’s representative recently explained why she agreed to partake in the broadcasted interview, stating that Johnny Depp and his lawyers had “blanketed the media for days after the verdict.”
Her team said:
Johnny Depp sued Amber Heard over an op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post in 2018, where she claimed to be a victim of domestic violence. Although she did not name Depp directly, the actor’s lawyers claimed that the piece insinuated that she was talking about him and asked for “not less than $50 million” as financial compensation for tarnishing his professional image.
After six weeks of a heated court battle, a seven-person jury awarded $10.35 million to Johnny Depp, which includes compensatory and punitive damages. Heard also got $2 million in compensatory damages and no punitive charges.
After making her first appearance post-verdict with Savannah Guthrie, Amber Heard called the decision a “setback” for women, adding that she is “scared” it will mean more “silence” for survivors who want to speak up.
