The actress spoke in her first on-camera interview after the jury’s ruling – which she found in favor of Depp – saying she was portrayed as an “unreliable person” during a six-week high-profile audition in Fairfax, Virginia. In a statement to Sky News, Herd’s spokeswoman said she decided to give the interview after her ex-husband and his lawyers “covered” the media after the verdict and “expressed her thoughts and feelings, many of which were not. he is allowed to do so at the witness stand. “ The actress sat down with NBC News reporter Savannah Guthrie, who released a preview excerpt from the “wide-ranging” interview on Monday before airing the entire track in two parts on Tuesday and Wednesday. Herd, 36, criticized the role social media played in the case and described in detail what she described as “hate and arrogance” targeting her on the internet. “I do not care what anyone thinks of me or what judgments you want to make about what happened to the privacy of my home and my marriage behind closed doors,” he said. “I do not think the average person should know these things, so I do not take it personally. “But even someone who is sure that I deserve all this hatred and vitriol, even if you think I’m lying, you could not look me in the eye and tell me that you think it was fair on social media. You can not tell me that you think that was fair. “ Asked about her feelings about the jury’s decision that the jury “did not believe her” and “thought you were lying”, Herd replied: “I do not blame them. I actually understand. She is a favorite character and people feel that They know him. He is a fantastic actor. “ Image: Heard in court as the verdict was read When Guthrie told her that the jury’s job was “not to be dazzled by this; to look at the facts and the facts,” Herd replied, “Again, how could they? After hearing three and a half weeks of testimony about how I was not trustworthy person. Not to believe a word that came out of my mouth “. Six weeks after the filing, the case ended on June 1, with the court finding that a 2018 article Heard wrote for the Washington Post about her alleged experiences as a surviving domestic abuser was defamatory to Depp. The actor was compensated with $ 10.35 million (8 8.2 million). Heard won one of its counterclaims, successfully claiming that one of Depp’s lawyers slandered her, claiming that her allegations were “an abuse hoax” aimed at exploiting the #MeToo movement. The jury awarded her $ 2 million (1,5 1.5 million) in damages. Image: Depp went on tour with Jeff Beck in the UK when the trial ended After appearing in court for all the evidence, Depp was not there for the verdict, but toured the United Kingdom with musician Jeff Beck. His lawyers also appeared on Today and Good Morning America in the United States after the verdict. As a preview of Herd’s interview was released, a spokeswoman for the actress said in a statement to Sky News: “Johnny Depp’s legal team covered the media for days after the verdict with many statements and interviews on television and Depp himself did the same on social media. “Mrs Herd was merely responding to what they did aggressively last week; she did so by expressing her thoughts and feelings, many of which she was not allowed to do in the witness stand.” Elaine Bredehoft, one of Heard’s lawyers, said she planned to appeal the verdict.
