In the third part of her interview, Amber Heard openly expressed her continued love for her ex-partner, Johnny Depp.
This marked her first media appearance since the court ruled in favor of the 59-year-old actor. During the interview on the "Today" show with Savannah Guthrie, the 36-year-old actress was asked if she still loved the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor despite the tumultuous legal battles. In response, Heard calmly stated, "Yes, absolutely, I love him. I love him with all my heart."
She went on to elaborate, acknowledging the challenges in their deeply fractured relationship, saying, "And I tried to do the best I could with a relationship that was already deeply broken, to make it work and I couldn't. I don't hold a grudge against him. I know it might be difficult to understand, but if you have truly loved someone, it should be easy to understand."
Despite losing the trial and being ordered to pay a $10 million defamation settlement to her ex-partner, Heard continues to publicly affirm her love for Depp. The sum, determined by the Virginia Court, presents a financial challenge for the actress, as indicated by her defense attorney during the interview. Heard also emphasized, "I will stand by every word of my testimony until the day I die."
The actress's statements have sparked contradictions among internet users, with some questioning her sincerity and mental state. Comments such as, "Amber Heard has serious psychiatric problems and she is extremely violent, she continues to treat herself as an innocent victim," and "Imagine if I hated him. The truth is that this girl hides her feelings very well," reflect the skepticism and varied opinions surrounding Heard's declarations.
The defamation trial originated from Depp's legal action after Heard's interview where she alleged domestic violence. These accusations led to Depp's removal from cinema projects, prompting him to sue Heard for $50 million to salvage his image. However, the court ruled in favor of the actor, highlighting the complex and contentious nature of their legal battles.
