Amber Heard at Johnny Depp
ITINUTURING na rin ng Hollywood superstar na si Johnny Depp na isang “victory” ang split verdict ng US jury sa pinag-usapang libel trial na isinampa laban sa kanya ni Amber Heard.
Ayon sa “Pirates of the Caribbean” star, matapos marinig ang desisyon sa kontrobersyal na kaso sa pagitan ng dating asawa, ang feeling niya muling naibalik ang kanyang buhay.
Sa inilabas na desisyon ng five-man, two-woman US jury sa libel case na nag-ugat sa mga alegasyon ng sexual violence at domestic abuse, naniniwala silang parehong nakapagsalita ng masasakit laban sa isa’t isa sina Johnny Depp at Amber Heard.
Makalipas ang three-day deliberation, ayon sa report,”the jury found that Heard had defamed Depp in an op-ed piece, and awarded him $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.”
“The jury also found that Depp had made defamatory claims against the 36-year-old Heard and also awarded her compensatory damages — but a much lower amount of $2 million,” sabi pa sa ulat. Binasa ang desisyon ng jury sa Fairfax County Circuit Court sa Virginia.
Narito ang official statement ni Amber Heard hinggil sa naging resulta ng trial, “The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I’m heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband.
“I’m even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women. It is a setback. It sets back the idea that violence against women is to be taken seriously,” aniya pa.
Wala si Johnny Depp nang basahin ang verdict sa kanilang kaso at balitang nasa England ito sa kasalukuyan. Pero agad din siyang nag-issue ng kanyang opisyal na pahayag.
“Six years ago, my life, the life of my children, the lives of those closest to me, and also, the lives of the people who for many, many years have supported and believed in me were forever changed.
“All in the blink of an eye.
“False, very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media, which triggered an endless barrage of hateful content, although no charges were ever brought against me. It had already traveled around the world twice within a nanosecond and it had a seismic impact on my life and my career.
“And six years later, the jury gave me my life back. I am truly humbled.
“My decision to pursue this case, knowing very well the height of the legal hurdles that I would be facing and the inevitable, worldwide spectacle into my life, was only made after considerable thought.

“From the very beginning, the goal of bringing this case was to reveal the truth, regardless of the outcome. Speaking the truth was something that I owed to my children and to all those who have remained steadfast in their support of me. I feel at peace knowing I have finally accomplished that.
“I am, and have been, overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and the colossal support and kindness from around the world.
“I hope that my quest to have the truth be told will have helped others, men or women, who have found themselves in my situation, and that those supporting them never give up. I also hope that the position will now return to innocent until proven guilty, both within the courts and in the media.
“I wish to acknowledge the noble work of the Judge, the jurors, the court staff and the Sheriffs who have sacrificed their own time to get to this point, and to my diligent and unwavering legal team who did an extraordinary job in helping me to share the truth.
“The best is yet to come and a new chapter has finally begun.
“Veritas numquam perit.
“Truth never perishes.”
Matatandaang kinasuhan ng Hollywood actor ang dating asawa dahil sa sinabi nitong isa siyang “public figure representing domestic abuse.” Feeling niya nais ipahiwatig ni Amber na isa siyang domestic abuser at humingi nga ng $50 million in damages.
Nagkontra-demanda naman si Amber at humingi ng $100 million dahil na-hurt daw siya sa mga naging pahayag ng abogado ni Johnny Depp na si Adam Waldman na nagsabing “hoax” daw ang mga akusasyon niya sa dating asawa.
Naging mag-asawa sina Johnny Depp at Amber Heard mula 2015 hanggang 2017.
