Amber Heard Admits She And Depp Might Look Like A ‘Hollywood Sausage’
Amber Heard gave her first interview since losing her multi-million dollar defamation fight against ex-husband Johnny Depp.
After I sat down with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie last week, clips were previewed on today Showing with the full interview scheduled for 8PM ET on June 17th.
Heard says she will stand by her testimony at trial “until the day I die,” but as the trial begins on social media, she believes even a well-meaning juror would have found it hard to avoid.
Describing the trial as “humiliating” and that she felt “less than human,” Heard admits she did not feel confident before the verdict but maintains that she “spoke the truth to the authority” and paid the price. She admits that she and Depp looked like a pampered “Hollywood sausage” to the average person, but she maintains that her case is about freedom of speech.
Guthrie Heard has challenged her own actions in the relationship and has admitted doing and saying “horrific and unfortunate things” but said she “always tells the truth”.
Depp sued Heard for $50 million for suggesting he had offended her in a Washington Post op-ed. She filed a $100 million counter-suit, accusing him of launching a “slander campaign” against her.
In an awkward back-and-forth situation, Ms. Guthrie challenges Ms. Heard about pledging to donate $7 million to charities from her divorce settlement that never happened and whether it undermines her credibility with the jury.
Ms. Heard says this was one example of Depp’s team questioning her character as a human being and her credibility and calling her a lawyer.
Ms. Guthrie points out that this was the trial and it was a credibility contest.
Double the actress says she shouldn’t have said she would donate the money in an effort to believe her, to which Ms. Guthrie responded that she shouldn’t have done so but she did.

Amber Heard says she fears further defamation proceedings from Johnny Depp and is nervous about what she can say to move forward after the trial.
“No matter what I say, or how I say it — every move I make will present another opportunity for this kind of silencing, which I think a defamation lawsuit is supposed to do.”
Savannah asks Guthrie why she wrote the editorial.
Ms. Heard says she wasn’t writing about her relationship but was giving her voice to a broader issue and a team of lawyers was reading the article to make sure it didn’t denigrate him.
