Earlier this month, a seven-person jury reached the verdict that Amer Heard defamed her ex-husband Johnny Depp in her 2018 op-ed for the <\/span>Washington Post,<\/span><\/i> wherein she spoke about being a victim of sexual violence. The case, which began on April 11th, was a media frenzy with millions watching every minute via a live stream and fans of Depp\u2019s supporting the actor outside the courtroom daily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In an upcoming interview, Heard will be addressing the legal battle publicly for the first time since she released a statement to Instagram calling the verdict a \u201csetback\u201d for women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The actress sat down with journalist Savannah Guthrie for the conversation, some of which appeared on NBC News’ Today with more unreleased content coming on a special Dateline Friday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the interview, Heard spoke about how the social media frenzy \u2014 or trial by social media \u2014 impacted the case, saying there is no way anyone can say there has been “fair representation.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“I don’t care what one thinks about me, or what judgment you want to make about what happened in the privacy in my own home in my marriage, behind closed doors,” she said. “I don’t presume the average person should know these things, so I don’t take it personally.”<\/span><\/p>\n
