Amber Heard said she is scared she could be sued again by ex-husband Johnny Depp as she speaks out about her defamation trial against him.
“I’m scared that no matter what I do, no matter what I say or how I say it, every step that I take will present another opportunity for this sort of silencing, which is what I guess the defamation lawsuit is meant to do. It’s meant to take your voice,” Heard said in part three of an interview airing on Today on Wednesday.

Despite her fears, Heard said she still loves Depp, even amid the aftermath of the trial.
“Absolutely. I love him,” Heard said. “I loved him with all my heart. And I tried the best I could to make a deeply broken relationship work. And I couldn’t. I have no bad feelings or ill will towards him at all. I know that might be hard to understand or it might be really easy to understand. If you ever loved anyone, it should be easy.”

The actress said she realizes the trial did not make her appear to be “a likable victim.”
“I’m not a good victim. I get it. I’m not a likable victim,” she said. “I’m not a perfect victim, but when I testified, I asked the jury to see me as human and hear [Depp’s] own words.”
In a separate portion of the interview that aired Tuesday, Heard said she stood by her testimony, claiming she told the truth and “paid the price” while admitting that the trial made both her and Depp appear as “Hollywood brats at their worst.”

A jury in Fairfax County, Virginia, found Heard defamed Depp earlier this month, ordering her to pay the actor damages amounting to $15 million. In addition to awarding Depp compensatory and punitive damages, the jury also found that Depp defamed Heard regarding a statement made by his former lawyer, Adam Waldman.
