Minutes after the verdict in the defamation trial was announced, Amber Heard took to Instagram to write that she was heartbroken after Johnny Depp's win.
She wrote, "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 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 ¨C to speak freely and openly."
While the jury found Amber Heard's article defamatory towards Johnny Depp and hence awarded him $15 million compensation, the jury pointed out that Heard was also defamed by Depp's lawyers who said she had created a detailed hoax after roughing up the couple's apartment to look worse for police. The jury, hence, awarded her $2 million.??
