Amber Heard REPEATS claim that Johnny Depp beat her despite losing $8m in defamation trial

Amber Heard has publicly accused her ex-husband Johnny Depp of physical abuse again during an explosive TV interview, insisting that she will 'stand by every word of her testimony. Amber Heard has publicly accused Johnny Depp of physical abuse again - days after she was found guilty of defaming him in an $8 million trial about an op-ed she published in the Washington Post in which she said she was a survivor of sexual assault The 36-year-old actress sat down with the Today show's Savannah Guthrie to discuss the 'unfair' verdict in the former couple's $8 million defamation trial, which she blasted as 'unfair', blaming biased 'social media representation' Heard also accused Depp's lawyers, Vasquez and her associate Benjamin Chew, of trying to 'distract the jury from the real issues' during the trial, conceding that they had 'done a better job of that' than her own legal team. During the first part of the sit-down with Guthrie - who last week interviewed Depp's legal team on the show and whose husband Michael Feldman actually consulted for them during the trial - Heard also insisted that the jury's decision was influenced by what she called 'unfair social media representation' and by her husband calling on 'paid employees and randos' to testify on his behalf. Last week, Depp's lawyers Camille Vasquez and Benjamin Chew sat down with Guthrie, 50, to discuss the trial - and they slammed any suggestion that social media played a part in the jury's verdict as 'utterly false' The lawyer also echoed her client's thoughts on the verdict, blasting it as a 'significant setback' for women. Heard's attorney Elaine Bredehoft has suggested that her client will appeal the verdict, saying she has 'excellent grounds' to do so She also suggested that the jury in the case had been swayed by public opinion - including social media posts that were shared in support of Depp - a claim that his legal team has since slammed as 'utterly false'.
