Amber Heard’s first interview after defamation case

Amber Heard is speaking out after the hate she’s receiving online during her court battle with Johnny Depp

The Aquaman star is revealing all in her first interview since the verdict, saying she didn’t blame the jury for believing her ex-husband.

Two weeks ago, a jury said her domestic abuse claim was defamatory and false.

“I don’t presume the average person should know those things. And so I don’t take it personally,” Heard told the NBC journalist.

“But even somebody who is sure I’m deserving of all this hate and vitriol, even if you think that I’m lying, you still couldn’t look me in the eye and tell me that you think on social media there’s been a fair representation,

“You cannot tell me that you think that this has been fair.”

In a new clip released from NBC showing snippets of the full interview to come, Heard says representation hasn’t been fair.

Support for the Pirates of the Caribbean actor far outweighed that for Heard on social media during the trial.

The seven-week televised trial was one of the most high-profile celebrity cases of recent years.

When telling Heard the jury thought she was lying, Heard says she understands why they had come to their decision.

“How could they, after listening to three and a half weeks of testimony about how I was a non-credible person, how not to believe a word that came out of my mouth?”

Full interview will air in the U.S. this week.
