Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are reacting to the verdict in their drama-filled defamation lawsuit case.
Johnny Depp - Amber Heard trial verdict: Jury reads verdict in Johnny Depp's defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard
The jury ruled that Heard defamed Depp awarding him $15 million total in damages. They awarded Heard $2 million in compensatory damages. "Six years ago, my life, the life of my children, the lives of those closest to me, and also, the lives of the people who for many, many years have supported and believed in me were forever changed.
I am, and have been, overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and the colossal support and kindness from around the world. I hope that my quest to have the truth be told will have helped others, men or women, who have found themselves in my situation, and that those supporting them never give up. I also hope that the position will now return to innocent until proven guilty, both within the courts and in the media.
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.
