Amber Heard’s full-length TV interview has just aired in the U.S., and interviewer Savannah Guthrie did not refrain from challenging the actress.
Amber Heard has opened up about the aftermath of her court defeat against ex-husband Johnny Depp, as her one-hour television interview aired entirely in the U.S. today.
Heard sat down with journalist Savannah Guthrie for a special episode of NBC Date line for the interview, segments of which had previously been seen on American television throughout the week. The entire interview was tense at times, as Guthrie repeatedly challenged the star, and Heard said he faced a global backlash as the trial progressed.
Here are the highlights of Heard’s full interview:
Interviewer Challenges Listened to at key points
Guthrie was not easy with Heard, calling her some of the biggest controversies in the trial, which repeatedly reminded Heard that she had lost.
“There’s no polite way of saying it: the jury examined your evidence and they didn’t believe you,” Guthrie told her guest at one point.
He also asked Heard about his claim that he had given the full $ 7 million of his divorce settlement to a charity, a claim that was later proven to be untrue.
“I think when you say ‘I bought a house’ to someone, you’re lying? Because you didn’t pay it in full at the time. I made a promise and that promise is made over time in its nature, “Heard said, a comparison that immediately angered some viewers.
Guthrie then accused Heard of “breaking her hair” and asked if she had been caught in a lie.
“I don’t know, because a lot of the judgment was meant to slander who I am as a human being, to call me a liar,” Heard began, prompting Guthrie to intervene. ERA the trial. It was a credible contest. “
Guthrie also confronted Heard with audio transcripts played in court, in which he had admitted to starting a physical fight with Depp.
“You say you never started a physical fight, but here’s the tape saying you started a physical fight,” he told her.
Guthrie noted that none of Depp’s exes had allegedly abused him.
“Look what happened to me when I got ahead, right?” Heard asked.
Heard said she would keep her accusations against her ex-husband “until the day of my death.”
Heard speaks of an intense reaction
The actress described that she had faced a wave of support for Depp – and hatred for her – as she went to court every day.
“I passed blocks of people with placards saying things that couldn’t be repeated on TV,” he said.
“I saw the room full of Captain Jack Sparrow fans who had come from all over the world. The jury saw it all.”
He said it was a traumatic experience, “to testify about sexual assault and violence in front of a whole room of people who have expressed their contempt for me.”
Guthrie noted that in a text issued at trial, Depp vowed to enact “total global humiliation” in Heard.
“I’m not a good victim, I understand. I’m not a nice victim. I’m not a saint. I don’t ask anyone to like me. But when I testified, I asked the jury to see me as human. He promised to ruin me. “It seems to me as if he did it.”
Amber challenged her “misbehavior”
Guthrie asked Heard if he now believed he should have “appropriated” more of his own “misconduct” in the relationship that was aired in court using audio tapes.
“I’m glad you asked me,” Heart began.
“There’s an answer to these things you say. Listen to my voice on these audio tapes; it’s not my voice now, it’s not who I am now. I did and said horrible and unfortunate things throughout my relationship. I behaved in a horrible way, almost unrecognizable to myself. There is a lot that I regret, “he said.
“I did my best to defend myself and defend the truth. I really want to live my life and I have a long one, I hope, in front of me. And I will continue to walk for it with my chin up.”
Guthrie also asked Heard about the repeated claims of Depp’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez, in court that her emotional allegations of abuse were an act.
“Does the lawyer of the man who convinced the world that he had scissors for his fingers say? And am I the performer? ”Heard asked, referring to Depp’s Edward Scissorhands film.
“I heard weeks of testimonials about how terrible an actress I am … I’m a little confused about how they could both be.”
The documents detail the alleged abuses
In preparation for the general interview, Heard gave Date linenumerous documents from a doctor who, she said, “represented years, years of real-time explanations of what was happening.”
“There is a record of years of notes dating back to 2011 from the beginning of my relationship that took my doctor, whom I was reporting abuse,” he explained about the documents, which were shown on screen during the special. .
The documents detail alleged cases of violence by Depp, including an altercation in 2012 in which he allegedly “hit her, threw her against a wall and threatened to kill her.”
Heard’s legal team claims they were unable to use the documents as evidence during the trial due to “hearing”.
She “still loves” Johnny
In a segment of the interview that was first published earlier this week, Heard confessed that she “still absolutely loves” her ex-husband, despite repeating his claims that he abused her.
When asked if he still loved Depp, Heard said, “Yes. Absolutely. Absolutely. I love him. I loved him with all my heart and I did my best to make a deeply broken relationship work. And I couldn’t.
“I have no bad feelings or ill will towards him. I know it can be hard to understand or it can be very easy to understand if you’ve ever loved someone.”
Heard’s challenge to Depp
Hours before the U.S. broadcast of the interview, Heard publicly challenged Johnny Depp to follow suit and do a one-hour TV interview and answer all questions about allegations of abuse in the United States. their marriage.
“If Mr. Depp or his team have a problem with this, we recommend that Johnny himself sit down with Savannah Gutherie. [sic] for an hour and he answers all his questions, “Heard’s spokesman said in a statement issued hours before the broadcast.
Depp has not yet publicly responded to the challenge.
