Amber Heard gave her first interview since the verdict in her last court battle with her ex-husband Johnny Depp.
Last month, a jury in Virginia ruled that she slandered Depp in a 2018 Washington Post publication under her author. In the article, she talks about being a victim of domestic violence. The Aquaman actor was sentenced to pay Depp $ 10 million in damages and $ 350,000 in criminal damages after he successfully convinced the court that his career and reputation had been damaged as a result of the article.
Earlier, Depp lost a similar case in the United Kingdom after suing the tabloid The Sun for an article calling him a “women’s fighter.” In this case, the judge ruled that there was sufficient evidence to support the allegation.
Now Hurd sat down with Savannah Guthrie for “Today” in a prime time interview that will air on Tuesday and Wednesday on NBC. In the interview, Hurd told Guthrie that he understood why the Virginia jury had reached its verdict in favor of Depp. “I don’t blame them,” Hurd said. “I understand. He is a beloved hero and people feel they know him. He’s a fantastic actor. “
However, referring to the widespread negative media coverage she has faced, Hurd said she believes her treatment has been unfair. “I don’t care what anyone thinks of me or what judgments you want to make about what happened in the private life of my own home, in my marriage, behind closed doors. I don’t think the average person should know these things. That’s why I don’t take it personally, “Hurd said.
“But even someone who is sure that I deserve all this hatred and rage, even if you think I’m lying, you still can’t look me in the eye and tell me that you think there was fairness on social media. representation. You can’t tell me you think that was fair. “
