After the defamation lawsuit ended on June 1 with the victory belonging to Johnny Depp, Amber Heard was quite quiet and rarely appeared in the media. However, recently, the actress had her first talk show with Today channel (NBC) after losing the lawsuit.
According to Daily Mail, Amber Heard continues to receive mixed reactions from the public when she made controversial statements in an exclusive interview with Today channel.
The 36-year-old actress said that the jury was affected by social media and made an "unfair" verdict.
Heard admitted that she still loves Johnny Depp, and that she had a terrible relationship with Depp, calling it a very toxic relationship.
However, Heard also emphasized that Depp was the one who abused and that she only opposed the violence. Moreover, according to Heard, the short 20-second footage shown in court is not enough to prove anything.
Although the lawsuit has ended with a victory for Johnny Depp, the actor was awarded 10.35 million USD in compensation from Heard. The " Aquaman" beauty once again affirmed on television that she did not defame Depp in an article published in The Washington Post in 2018. Heard stressed that Depp was a liger, but she always told the truth.
According to lawyer Nicole Haff, Amber Heard opened up an opportunity for Johnny Depp to sue her again for defamation. Nicole Haff questioned Amber Heard's motives when she agreed to accept the interview and made shocking statements on television. Experts also believe that these are all counterproductive shares.
According to Daily Mail, this talk show is currently receiving negative reps from the public. Many viewers criticized Heard on Twitter, saying that the 36-year-old beauty continued to "perform a new play" on television after a disastrous failure in " courtroom drama".
The Daily Mail cited some negative comments about Amber Heard on social media: Ive heard all her sick lies, She should have won an Oscar, its unbelievable, Im bored with her words. She kept conflicting with herself. Her 15 minutes of fame are over...
Some other viewers criticized Today for creating conditions for the abused to air. Another person said that the program has seriously lost its reputation when airing this talk show.
