Amber Heard appears to be making fun of Edward Scissors during her first television interview since the defamation lawsuit filed by her ex-husband Johnny Depp.
The Aquaman star discussed the verdict – which was in favor of Depp – in a new interview with NBC Today.
In his closing remarks, Depp’s lawyer claimed that Hurd “acted” and described her testimony as a “lifelong performance.”
In response to the video, Hurd replied: “Says the lawyer of the man who convinced the world that he has finger scissors? Am I the performer?
“I listened to weeks of testimonies that hinted or said directly that I was a terrible actress. So I’m a little confused about how I can be both. “
Depp is suing Hurd for $ 50 million (£ 39.8 million) for a Washington Post article entitled: “I spoke out against sexual violence – and faced the wrath of our culture. That needs to change. ”
The article does not mention Depp by name, but the Pirates star’s lawyers claim that this falsely suggests that he physically and sexually abused Hurd during their relationship.
Hurd filed a counterclaim for $ 100 million (£ 80.9 million), accusing Depp of organizing a “defamation campaign” against her and describing his lawsuit as a continuation of “abuse and harassment”.
On Wednesday, June 1, the jury shared its verdicts, finding that Hurd had slandered Depp on all three counts.
The jury found Hurd defaming Depp on all three counts and awarding him $ 10 million (£ 8 million) in damages and $ 5 million (£ 4 million) in criminal damages. Hurd was awarded $ 2 million (£ 1.6 million) in damages but no punitive damages.
