Sobbing Amber claims Depp's defamation trial victory is a 'setback for women'
Amber Heard called the ruling of $15million in damages for ex-husband Johnny Depp in his defamation trial a 'setback for women'. 'I'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of [Depp],' Heard said. She added that this was 'a setback' for women 'to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated'.
'I believe attorneys succeeded in getting the jury to overlook.. Freedom of Speech and ignore evidence that was so conclusive we won in the UK'. 'I'm sad I lost this case. But I am sadder still that I seem to have lost a right I thought I had as an American - to speak freely and openly,' she added.
