Amber Heard says she is ‘disappointed’. “I cannot put into words how disappointed I am. My heart is broken: a mountain of evidence was not enough against the extraordinary influence my ex-husband has.”
“I am especially disappointed by what this judgment means for other women. It is a step back to the time when women who speak out are publicly ridiculed. It takes us back to the idea that violence against women should not be taken seriously.”
Johnny Depp says he is happy that the lawsuit has come to an end after six weeks. The actor says he got his life back from the jury. “I feel very humble.”
“Six years ago, my life, the lives of my children, the lives of my loved ones and the lives of people who have supported and believed in me for many years have changed forever,” said Depp, referring to the start of the allegations. assaulting his ex-wife. “False, very serious and criminal accusations were made against me through the media and that caused a torrent of hate messages, although no charges were ever brought against me. Within a nanosecond, the story had already gone around the world twice and had a seismic impact on my life and career.”
The actor is happy that after a 2018 article by Heard about her experiences with domestic violence, in which he was not named, he has filed a libel suit. “The aim was to bring the truth to light, whatever the outcome. Telling the truth was something I owed to my children and everyone who has continued to support me. I feel calm now that I know I have finally achieved that.”
