Faced with journalist Savannah Guthrie, the 36-year-old actress denounced this verdict, which she considers “unfair”, stressing that the jurors had been influenced by the “excellent acting” of her ex-husband.
Like her lawyers, she also felt that social networks and content unfavorable to him , played an important role in the verdict. “Even someone who’s sure I deserve all this hate and vitriol, even if you think I’m lying, you can’t look me in the eye and tell me there was fair representation on the networks social. You can’t tell me it was fair,” she said.

“I don’t care what people think of me”
According to the ‘Aquaman’ star, who plans to appeal, the seven jurors were influenced by Johnny Depp’s witnesses, some of whom were the actor’s ‘paid employees’ and even ‘people who had nothing to do” with the trial. “How can they make a judgment? How did they come to this conclusion? They sat in those seats and they listened to more than three weeks of relentless testimony.” Still, Amber Heard said she didn’t blame the jurors for their decision. “I understand them. He’s a beloved character. People feel like they know him. He’s a fantastic actor,” she admitted.
And if the actress is the target of many criticisms, she assured not to “take them personally”. “I don’t care what anyone thinks of me, or what judgment anyone has of what happened in the privacy of my home and during my marriage behind closed doors,” she revealed. .
