Johnny Depp threw a victory party BEFORE learning he had won trial

Amber Heard sat down for her first interview since the jury reached a verdict in her defamation trial against Johnny Depp, and she responded to many of the accusations that were leveled at her in court and on social media.

Speaking up. Amber Heard gave her first interview since a verdict was reached in ex Johnny Depp‘s defamation trial against her — and she didn’t hold back.

K.J. Yossman Amber Heard has given her first sit-down interview following the verdict in her latest legal battle with ex-husband Johnny Depp.Last month a jury in Virginia ruled she had defamed Depp in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed published under her byline. In the op-ed, she spoke about being a victim of domestic violence.

Amber Heard, Johnny Depp has hit the road, ostensibly to tour with 77-year-old musician friend Jeff Beck but also possibly to rub salt in the $15 million wound with a UK-wide victory lap. I’m not usually one for conspiracy theories but why else would Depp — international mega star, ex-boyfriend of Kate Moss — cavort with badgers in Kent, eat £50,000 worth of Indian food in Birmingham and dispense parenting advice to a Geordie bar manager other than to refuel the social media fire which has laid waste his ex-wife’s life? It started in Sheffield when Depp appeared on stage with Beck, much to the excitement of Beck’s fans, and basically everyone on social media. Little is known about what happened after the show, but they presumably tore up Division Street in time-honoured Sheffield style.

A representative for Amber Heard is speaking out regarding Johnny Depp’s attorneys holding interviews following the defamation trial.  Camille Vasquez and Ben Chew, Depp’s attorneys, will conduct interviews on "Good Morning America" and the "Today" show on Wednesday, and a spokesperson for Heard has called the recent appearances a "victory lap." "It is as unseemly as it is unprofessional that Johnny Depp's legal team has chosen to do a victory lap for setting back decades of how women can be treated in the courtroom. What’s next? A movie deal and merchandising?" the spokesperson shared with Fox News Digital.

Johnny Depp scored a clear and unexpected victory in court last week. His attorney, Ben Chew, implored the Virginia jury to restore his name, his reputation and his career, and the jury responded — finding that Depp’s ex-wife, Amber Heard, had defamed him when accusing him of domestic violence.But while jury verdicts are binary — liable or not liable, guilty or not guilty — Hollywood does not work that way. Depp has suffered tremendous reputational damage, much of it self-inflicted, and still has a lot of work to do if he wants to revive his career.“It’s not a light-switch,” says Howard Bragman, a crisis consultant to celebrity clients.
