Amber Heard Playing The Blame Game, Cannot Accept Responsibility

As we all know, Amber Heard losing the defamation trial to her ex-husband Johnny Depp has been a hard pill for her to swallow. Heard hasn’t fully come to terms with the fact that the verdict was not in her favour. After the loss, Heard in a statement said that she is “heartbroken.” “heartbroken” following Depp’s victory. “The disappointment I feel today is beyond words,” she said. “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.”

For the first time since the end of the defamation trial, Amber Heard granted an interview with NBC News. Speaking with NBC News’ Savannah Guthrie Heard said the jury took Johnny Depp’s side because Depp is a great actor.

In a preview of the interview, which will air on Today this week and Dateline on Friday, the Aquaman actress said, “I dont blame them. I actually understand. He’s a beloved character and people feel they know him. He’s a fantastic actor.” Heard asked of Guthrie in the NBC interview, “How could they not come to that conclusion?”

She continued, “They had sat in those seats and heard over three weeks of nonstop relentless testimony from paid employees, and towards the end of the trial, randos, as I say.”

Amber Heard — Heard Blames Social Media For Affecting The Jurors Judgement

Social media is not left out of Heard’s book of blames, she in fact said it was due to social media that the jurors gave an “unfair” verdict. NBC cites stats surrounding TikTok hashtags: #JusticeforAmberHeard received 27 million views, while similar hashtags for Depp garnered billions.

“I don’t care what one thinks about me or what judgements you want to make about what happened in the privacy of my home in my marriage behind closed doors,” said Heard. “I don’t presume the average person should know those things, so I don’t take it personally. But even somebody who is sure I am 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.”

Amber Heard — Depp’s Attorneys Say The Jurors Had No Access To Social Media

Speaking to Guthrie last week, lawyers for Depp asserted their belief that “social media played no role whatsoever” in the verdict.

The jurors were ordered not to research or read about the case, though they were not sequestered. Heard’s lawyer also told Today in an interview that aired earlier this month that the judgement regarding Depp’s libel trial in the U.K. had not been disclosed to the jurors.

Depp sued The Sun newspaper in 2020 after an article claimed he had assaulted Heard. He lost that case when the judge ruled that the paper’s claims were “substantially true.” Heard now plans to appeal the verdict in her own case.
