She said: “Even if you think I’m lying, you still can’t tell me that you think there has been fair representation on social media. You can’t tell me that you think this has been fair.”
Her statements did not sit well with Internet users, as they went to social networks to call her.
#AmberHeard He has learned nothing from that trial. Any. He is saying the same things, making the same faces and expressing himself in exactly the same way that she did in court. She is not believable. She had a jury of her alleged “partners of hers”, in abused women.
Our verdict? She is an abuser. https://t.co/LzaKG0Ena7

A Virginia jury has ruled that actress Amber Heard defamed her ex-husband Johnny Depp in a widely watched six-week trial that presented explicit and graphic evidence and testimony detailing the former Hollywood couple’s souring relationship.

The jury also found in Heard’s favor on some aspects of her countersuit against Depp.
The jury awarded Depp $15 million in damages from Heard. The panel awarded Heard $2 million in damages.
Depp, the 58-year-old “Pirates of the Caribbean” star, sued Heard for $50 million, arguing that she defamed him when she called herself “a public figure representing domestic abuse” in an op-ed. from a newspaper.
Heard, 36, countersued for $100 million, saying Depp defamed her when his lawyer called her allegations a hoax.
Depp has denied hitting Heard or any woman and said she was the one who became violent in their relationship.
Depp and Heard met in 2011 while filming the rum diary and they married in February 2015. Their divorce was finalized about two years later.
At the center of the legal case is a December 2018 op-ed by Heard in the Washington Post in which she made a statement about domestic abuse. The article did not mention Depp by name, but his lawyer told the jury that it was clear Heard was referring to him.
During six weeks of testimony, Heard’s attorneys argued that she had told the truth and that her comments were covered as free speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Throughout the case, jurors listened to recordings of the couple’s fights and saw graphic photographs of Depp’s bloody finger. She said the top of her finger was severed when Heard threw a bottle of vodka at her in 2015.
Heard denied hurting Depp’s finger and said that Depp sexually assaulted her that night with a bottle of liquor. She said that she hit him only to defend herself or her sister.

Once among Hollywood’s biggest stars, Depp said Heard’s accusations cost him “everything”. a new pirates the film was put on hold and Depp was replaced in the fantastic beasts film franchise, a Harry Potter cleave.
Depp lost a libel case less than two years ago against the Sun, a British tabloid that labeled him a “wife beater.” A London High Court judge ruled that he had repeatedly assaulted Heard.
Depp’s lawyers filed the US case in Fairfax County, Virginia, because the Washington Post is published there. The newspaper is not a defendant.
