Amber Heard has released a statement following a jury’s decision that she defamed former husband, actor Johnny Depp.

Read the full statement:

The disappointment I feel today is beyond
words. I’m heartbroken that the mountain
of evidence still was not enough to stand
up to the disproportionate power,
influence, and sway of my ex-husband.

I’m even more disappointed with what this
verdict means for other women. It is a
setback. It sets back the clock to a time
when a woman who spoke up and spoke
out could be publicly shamed and
humiliated. It sets back the idea that
violence against women is to be taken
seriously.

I believe Johnny’s attorneys succeeded in
getting the jury to overlook the key issue
of Freedom of Speech and ignore
evidence that was so conclusive that we
won in the UK.

I’m sad I lost this case. But I am sadder
still that I seem to have lost a right I
thought I had as an American – to speak
freely and openly.
