The jury found in favor of actor Johnny Depp in his defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard. Amber added in a new interview since the verdict that the trial was the most "horrible and humiliating" experience she has ever had. The star went on to say that she stands by her testimony from the high-profile six-week trial.
Amber claimed in an interview broadcast on Tuesday that the "hate and hatred" she faced on social media throughout her trial against Johnny was not "fair" but that she acted in "terrible, awful ways."
"I'll stand by every term of my testimony until the day I die." I've made numerous errors, but I've always told lies. His attorney did a better job of diverting the jury's attention away from the underlying issues. This is the most humiliating and horrible experience I've ever had. Throughout our relationship, I did and said some nasty, regrettable things. I acted in dreadful ways that were nearly unrecognizable to me. Amber said to NBC in the second portion of her interview, which aired on Tuesday, "I feel so much regret."
