Actress Amber Heard is devastated after the sentencing of Johnny Depp. In this difficult time, she now wants to focus on her daughter. Always by her side: Sister Whitney, who speaks up with touching lines on Instagram.
On June 1, 2022, Amber Heard, 36, was found guilty of all charges in the defamation trial against her ex-husband Johnny Depp, 58. “I am heartbroken that the mountain of evidence was still insufficient to establish the disproportionate power and influence […] to oppose my ex-husband”, writes the actress then disappointed on Instagram.
Only a few people supported her during and after the trial – except for one: Sister Whitney Henriquez, who now speaks up with emotional words.
Amber Heard: Sister Whitney is now with her
Former Hollywood couple Amber Heard and Johnny Depp fought a bitter battle in front of a court in Fairfax, Virginia, for more than seven weeks. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star accused Heard of defamation. In a 2018 Washington Post essay, after her brief marriage to Depp, the Texan described herself as a “public figure with a history of domestic violence.” Although she never gave his name, her opinion was still seen as slandering Depp, who is now entitled to $15 million in damages.
Although the jury also awarded Amber Heard two million dollars in damages for defamation by Johnny Depp’s former lawyer Adam Waldman, the big defeat in court weighs heavily. Heard’s attorney Elaine Bredehoft plans to appeal. However, Amber’s reputation is forever damaged. She received a lot of malice and ridicule for her statements in court on social networks. A number of public voices sided with Depp, Heard received little support.
“It is my great honor to testify for you”
Now her sister Whitney, who also testified in court, is standing up for her. In a lengthy Instagram post, she expresses her feelings.
“I still stand by you. Yesterday, today and tomorrow I will always be proud of you for standing up for yourself […] and because you are the voice of so many who cannot speak out about the things that happen behind closed doors,” Heard’s sister wrote, continuing, “I am honored to testify for you and would do so again Do a million times ’cause I know what I’ve seen and the truth is on your side forever. I’m so sorry that wasn’t reflected in the jury’s decision, but I will never give up on you, and neither will anyone who stands by your side. Forever by your side…”.
Heard wants to focus on daughter Oonagh
Although Amber Heard’s attorney plans to appeal, the “Aquaman” actress said she wanted to focus on her one-year-old daughter, Oonagh Paige, for now. As an anonymous source told the US magazine “People”, Heard was frustrated by the verdict, but was “looking forward” to spending time with her family. “Right now she just wants to focus on her little girl. The process has taken up a lot of her time as a mother. Amber is looking forward to a summer with her daughter and her family,” the insider said.
