Officially the end. Amber Heard and Johnny Depp have settled their Virginia defamation lawsuit following a high-profile legal battle.
“After a great deal of deliberation I have made a very difficult decision to settle the defamation case brought against me by my ex-husband in Virginia,” the Aquaman actress, 36, wrote in an Instagram statement uploaded on Monday, December 19. “It’s important for me to say that I never chose this. I defended my truth and in doing so my life as I knew it was destroyed.”
Heard continued: “The vilification I have faced on social media is an amplified version of the ways in which women are re-victimised when they come forward. Now I finally have an opportunity to emancipate myself from something I attempted to leave over six years ago and on terms I can agree to. I have made no admission. This is not an act of concession. There are no restrictions or gags with respect to my voice moving forward.”
The Texas native claimed that she “lost faith in the American legal system” due to her lengthy back and forth with Depp, 59, arguing that her “unprotected testimony served as entertainment and social media fodder.” She compared her differing experiences in the U.K. and U.S. courts, alleging that “abundant, direct evidence that corroborated my testimony was excluded” from the Virginia trial.
“In the interim I was exposed to a type of humiliation that I simply cannot re-live,” she wrote. “Even if my US appeal is successful, the best outcome would be a re-trial where a new jury would have to consider the evidence again. I simply cannot go through that a third time.”
