Amber Heard: My Voice Was Silenced After Trial
25 Jan
Summary
- Heard features in the new documentary 'Silenced' at Sundance.
- She feels her ability to speak has been lost due to the trial.
- Depp's defamation lawsuit followed Heard's 2018 op-ed.
Actress Amber Heard, featured in the new documentary 'Silenced,' which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday, has spoken about the significant impact her legal battle with ex-husband Johnny Depp has had on her ability to express herself.
Heard shared her feelings of having lost her voice, stating, "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." This sentiment arises from the defamation lawsuit Depp filed following her 2018 Washington Post op-ed.
A jury ultimately ruled in favor of Depp, awarding him millions, though they also found in favor of Heard on her countersuit. In the years since, Heard has largely retreated from public life, moving to Spain and welcoming twins.
