Amber Heard's first media appearance after losing her case against Johnny Depp.. Video

American actress Amber Heard spoke for the first time since the verdict in her famous case against her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, and aroused interest in her first media appearance nearly two weeks after the sentencing hearing, and revealed her opinion on what happened in the case, in addition to some other details.

In the first media appearance since the verdict was pronounced, Amber Heard gave a television interview to the American anchor, Savannah Guthrie, and the interview was broadcast today, Tuesday, on the “Today” program on the American network NBC, and the interview was filmed on June 9 in New York City under strict security and confidentiality, according to what Deadline reported, and during the recording, the American actress spoke about her belief that the court's decision could affect freedom of expression in America and other women who suffer from domestic violence.

From her point of view, she touched on the scene in which the 6-week trial in the courtroom became a battleground between Johnny Depp's wives at home and abroad, and Amber Heard also spoke about the differences she sees between the UK libel case that Johnny Depp lost in November of 2020 against The Sun, and that legal battle he emerged victorious in the United States.

Amber Heard said during the meeting that she understood why the Virginia court reached their ruling in favor of Johnny Depp, saying: "I don't blame them, I actually understand that he's a likable character and people feel like they know him, he's a great actor," referring to the negative coverage on the media. Social media Amber Heard said her treatment was unfair, explaining that people shouldn't know what happened in the privacy of her home, and in her marriage behind closed doors.

Meanwhile, despite Amber Heard's allegations of physical assault during the six-week trial, which was broadcast live, a Virginia court ruled that a 2018 article she wrote for the Washington Post about domestic violence was defamatory, and granted Johnny Depp was awarded $10.35 million in damages, even though the article did not mention his name.

Amber Heard won one of the charges, successfully obtaining a ruling that Johnny Depp's lawyer had defamed her by claiming that her allegations were an "abuse hoax" intended to benefit the MeToo movement, and the judiciary awarded her $2 million in damages. But in the end the general verdict was a crushing victory for Johnny Depp, who said his ex-wife's allegations had a "devastating effect" on his life and career.
