Amber Heard Concerned Johnny Depp Will Sue Her Again

The Aquaman star has opened up about the verdict in her first interview since the trial

Amber Heard has said she fears Johnny Depp could sue her again in her first interview since the former couple's high profile court case.

Depp, 59, sued his ex-wife Heard, 36, for $50 million (£38.2 million) in a defamation lawsuit over domestic abuse claims she made in a 2018 article in The Washington Post, and she issued a counterclaim for $100m (£76.4m).

The article did not mention Depp by name, yet his lawyers argued it falsely implied he physically and sexually abused the Aquaman actor while they were together.

The jury found in favour of Depp, finding that what Heard wrote in her op-ed piece was defamatory, and awarded him $10.35 million (£8.2 million) in damages.

Now, speaking in her first interview since the trial, Heard has admitted she's fearful of further legal action.

Watch here:

In the latest instalment of her Today interview, journalist Samantha Guthrie asked whether she was nervous about what she can now say.

"Of course," Heard said. "I took for granted what I assumed was my right to speak."

Guthrie then questioned her over whether she felt she could be sued for defamation again.

Heard replied: "I am scared that, no matter what I do, no matter what I say or how I say it, every step that I take will present another opportunity for silencing, which I guess is what a defamation lawsuit is meant to do – it is meant to take your voice."

Asked whether she still had love for Depp, she replied: "Yes, absolutely. I love him.

"I loved him with all my heart and tried the best I could to make a deeply broken relationship work. And I couldn't.

"I have no bad feelings or ill will towards him at all. I know that might be hard to understand.

"Or it might be really easy to understand if you have just ever loved anyone… It should be easy."

Depp and Heard began dating after meeting on the set of 2011 film The Rum Diary and got married in 2015. Heard obtained a restraining order against Depp the following year and they finalised their divorce in 2017.

In 2020, Depp lost a libel case brought against The Sun over an article in which he was labelled a 'wife beater'.

He has denied all allegations of abuse.
