Following the verdict, the mother of one participated in an interview with NBC’s Dateline. During the discussion, the 36-year-old went into great detail as to why she felt she had lost the case. “I don’t blame [the jury],” she started, “I actually understand. He’s a beloved character and people feel they know him. He’s a fantastic actor.”
Heard also described how hard it was for her to testify about sexual assault and domestic violence. “What I learned in that trial is that it’s never going to be good enough,” she stated. She used examples to get her point across, saying, “If you have proof, it was a scheme or a hoax. If you don’t have proof, it didn’t happen. If you have a bruise, it’s fake. If you don’t have a bruise, then the violence, clearly, didn’t hurt you.”
In other news regarding the Aquaman actress, TMZ obtained video footage of her doing some bargain hunting in a TJ Maxx located in New York. She, along with her sister, Whitney Henriquez, was seen with a cart full of items in the department store following the court’s decision to have Amber pay Johnny’s team $8 million.
As of now, it is unknown if Johnny is going to enforce the payment, but Amber’s team has made it clear that they cannot afford it.
