Johnny Depp's team responds after Amber Heard's first interview post-verdict

In an interview with NBC, Depp’s team responded to Heard's comments as they mentioned she was 'repeating, reimagining and re-litigating' matters after the verdict. They mentioned that this comes after the verdict was 'unequivocally decided by a jury'.

They also gave an update on Depp after the trial and mentioned he was 'looking to move forward' in his life. As per the publication, they said-

"It’s unfortunate that while Johnny is looking to move forward with his life, the defendant and her team are back to repeating, reimagining and re-litigating matters that have already been decided by the court and a verdict that was unequivocally decided by a jury in Johnny’s favour."

Amber Heard's interview

In her interview with Savannah Guthrie of NBC, the actor mentioned that she would stand by her testimony till her 'dying day' and claimed she was paying the price for 'speaking truth to power'.

She also shared her experience of speaking out about her alleged abuse in a courtroom full of people 'expressing their vocal support for Depp'. She also shared what it was like for her to arrive at the court during the trial with people holding up signs with messages she 'couldn’t repeat on television'. She said, "They had to establish barricades to protect me so I could drive into a protected entrance of the courthouse. Every single day that’s how I walked in the court."

Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial verdict

After the high-profile trial came to an end, the jury announced a verdict favouring Depp. They declared that Heard defamed Depp in the op-ed she wrote about domestic violence.

They also awarded Depp $5 Million in punitive damages and an additional $10 Million in compensatory damages. Heard was also awarded $2 Million in compensatory damages. It is now awaited if Heard will appeal the jury's verdict, as her attorney earlier spoke to Today, and mentioned that the actor has 'excellent grounds' for the same.
