Following the conclusion of her defamation trial with Johnny Depp, Amber Heard has continued to stand by her version of events and defend herself again the jurors’ decision. As well as insisting that she told the truth about everything in court, including the numerous instances of physical and mental abuse she described during her two testimonies, Heard has also claimed that one piece of evidence she was not allowed to use in court could have changed the entire outcome of the trial.
Amber Heard sat down exclusively to discuss the outcome of the trial with Savannah Guthrie, and short clips from the interview have been posted online and on NBC’s Today ahead of an hour-long Dateline special on Friday, June 17 at 8pm ET. In one of the latest clips to have been released from the NBC News interview, Heard is asked if there was one piece of evidence that could have been shown to the jury. She responds:

In the clip, Heard is challenged by Guthrie on the fact that during the trial no one could corroborate her story of being physically hit by Depp, nor did any of his previous partners say that they had been subjected to any abuse similar to that which Heard claims to have been on the receiving end of. She responds:
“Yeah. There’s a binder worth of years of noted dating back to 2011 from the very beginning of my relationship that were taken by my doctor who I was reporting the abuse to.”
“Look what happened to me when I came forward. Would you?”
The Fallout of The Depp/Heard Trial Continues.
Although some people believed that the verdict of the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial would be the final word on the matter, it was never going to be something that just vanished immediately in the days that followed. As well as numerous reports suggesting Heard has been cut from her role in Aquaman 2, and just as many refuting these claims, there have also been poll results that despite a large social media following, Johnny Depp’s popularity also took a hit in the wake of the trial.
Now as Amber Heard continued to make her opinions about the trial and its outcome known in a very public way, this is going to set a whole new wave of attention in motion. The soundbites released from her interview have already gone viral on social media, and there is going to be a lot more of that as people pull apart her full interview, in which she is going to try to convince the public that the jury got it wrong about her claims.
Johnny Depp has already reportedly called the interview Heard and her team “reimagining” the trial, and it seems that he is not alone in that opinion. So far, users on social media have not seen anything in the clips that have already been broadcast from the interview to change their minds about the trial’s outcome, which suggests that Dateline’s full interview broadcast is just going to add more fuel to the fire.
