Amber Heard says in a newly aired interview she’s ‘afraid’ of being sued again for defamation by Johnny Depp – remarks three weeks after the “Aquaman” actress lost a blockbuster libel case against her ex-husband published later.
“I think I take it for granted that it’s my voice, not just what I’ve been through, but what I know,” the actress said Friday night with Savannah Guthrie. sat down on NBC’s “Dateline” to discuss the case.
“I’m terrified,” Hurd added when asked if he was afraid she might be sued by Depp again.
“I guess that’s what a defamation lawsuit is about, it’s about getting your voice heard.”
The full interview with Guthrie aired after multiple trailers were canceled throughout the week.
Although a jury earlier this month found Hurd, 36, to discredit her “Pirates of the Caribbean” ex with abuse allegations, she insists she stands by “every word” of her testimony.
In fact, Heard doubled down on allegations that Depp abused her in their “ugly” marriage – and bluntly accused him of lying after repeatedly denying her allegations on the witness stand during the six-week trial.
Guthrie noted at one point in the interview that Depp testified that he never hit Heard in their relationship, and that “none of the women came forward and said he hit them.”
Heard responded by suggesting that Depp’s other exes might be too afraid to publicly accuse him of alleged abuse.
“Look what happened when I came forward. Would you?” she said.
After being investigated by Guthrie, she went on to explain her motives for making her public remarks.
“One thing I can tell you is that I’m not vindictive. I don’t see any part of it…that would be a very bad way of getting revenge,” Hurd said.
“You know, Savannah, how stupid it is to say that out loud… My goal, the only thing I can hope for at this point, is that I just want people to see me as a person.”
Heard also admitted that she “absolutely” still loves Depp and has “no bad feelings” for him.
Asked if she wanted the jury to see one thing during the trial, Hurd said the documents provided by her doctor “represented years of real-time interpretation of what was going on.”
“From the very beginning of my relationship, my doctor had taken years’ worth of notes going back to 2011 that I was reporting abuse to him,” Hurd once said in an interview.
