Amber Heard
Depp Trial Took Away My Ability to Tell My Story
Published
Amber Heard says her voice has felt drowned out since the Johnny Depp trial … lamenting the loss of her story in a new documentary.
The actress appears in the new doc “Silenced” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival Saturday … and she reflects on her legal battle with her ex-husband in the clip — including the impact it’s had on speaking her truth.
Heard said, “I didn’t understand it could get so much worse for me as a woman, using my voice. I have lost my ability to speak. I am not here to tell my story. I don’t want to tell my story, In fact, I don’t want to use my voice anymore. That’s the problem.”
As you know … Depp filed a defamation lawsuit against Heard after she claimed he physically abused him in a 2018 op-ed published by The Washington Post.
A jury ultimately sided with Depp and awarded him millions of dollars in damages … while the jury sided with Heard in her countersuit.
Heard has retreated from the spotlight in recent years … moving to Spain in the aftermath of the verdict and welcoming twins last year.
While Heard’s image hasn’t really recovered in the aftermath of the trial, Depp’s has … and he’s increasingly booking bigger and bigger projects — recently directing a film starring Al Pacino.
