Sister Amber Heard spoke out in support of the actress: “It’s a pity that the jury made such a verdict”

________________________________

Since the verdict of the trial between Amber and her ex-husband Johnny Depp was announced last week, the actress has remained in the shadows. She once got in touch on social networks to make an official statement. However, last Sunday her own sister Whitney volunteered to support Hurd. The girl shared a photo with the hashtag #istandwithamberheard (“I’m with Amber Heard”) and published a long text in support of her sister.

I still support you sister. Yesterday, today and tomorrow, I will always be proud of you for standing up for yourself, for being the voice of so many people who can’t talk about what goes on behind closed doors.

Whitney noted that if she had the opportunity to again testify in defense of Heard, she would have done it without reluctance.

We knew it would be a tough battle and that the stars were not in our favor. But you stood up and spoke out no matter what. I am honored to testify in your defense and I would do it a million more times because I know what I saw with my own eyes, so the truth is always on your side, she wrote.

She also expressed regret over the decision of the court and noted that she would always support her sister.

I’m sorry the jury reached that verdict, but I will never give up on you, and none of your supporters will either. Always by your side… #istandwithamberheard,” Whitney concluded.

Amber’s fans quickly reacted to the post and also supported the actress. However, only 5 thousand publications have been marked with the new hashtag #istandwithamberheard so far.

Sending you and Amber beams of love and kindness,” wrote one fan.

I love you, hold on, – another encouraged the actress.

Recall that the court ordered Hurd to pay Depp compensation in the amount of $ 8.35 million for damages. However, 36-year-old Hurd is unlikely to pull such an amount, given her current position in Hollywood – experts believe that film studios will be wary of inviting the actress to projects, which raises questions about her future income. Amber may well go bankrupt, paying a court fine. However, there is a chance that Depp may refuse compensation or agree on a more feasible amount for Hurd. In addition, if Amber’s acting career ends, she may retrain as a lawyer for victims of domestic violence. This way, she will earn enough money to pay Depp expenses on a regular basis.

The defamation process has been considered since April 11. Depp, 58, filed a lawsuit against Amber Heard over an article signed by her name in The Washington Post in December 2018. From the text it followed that the actor could subject her to domestic violence. He has not been named, but the plaintiff claims that the text effectively ruined his reputation and career. He demanded compensation in the amount of $50 million from his ex-wife. The actress filed a counterclaim. She claimed that she had been subjected to “physical abuse and abuse” during her marriage.
