A male juror from the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation lawsuit is speaking out against the “Aquaman” actress.
Heard was found to have defamed ex-husband Depp with her claims of domestic abuse in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed piece that did not name Depp specifically. After a six-week-long trial, Depp was awarded 10.4 million in damages.
Heard “didn’t come across as believable,” a juror told Good Morning America on June 16 regarding Heard’s testimony. “It seemed like she was able to flip the switch on her emotions. She would answer one question and she would be crying and two seconds later she would turn ice cold. It didn’t seem natural.”
The jury consisted of two women and five men; this is the first statement made publicly by anyone on the panel.
Speaking about the Depp vs. Heard case, the juror continued, “They had their husband-wife arguments. They were both yelling at each other.

Amber Heard has broken her silence following the Johnny Depp defamation trial verdict.
The “Aquaman” star was found to have defamed ex-husband Depp with her claims of domestic abuse in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed piece that did not name Depp specifically. After a six-week-long trial, Depp was awarded 10.4 million in damages.
During her first interview since the June 1 verdict, Heard opened told “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie about the social media bias in the trial.
“I don’t care what one thinks about me or what judgments you want to make about what happened in the privacy of my own home, in my marriage, behind closed doors,” Heard said, via NBC News. “I don’t presume the average person should know those things. And so I don’t take it personally.”
She continued, “But even somebody who is sure I’m deserving of all this hate and vitriol, even if...

When the verdict was announced for the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard defamation case on June 1, social media reactions ranged from wondering if Depp would now be asked to reprise his “Pirates of the Caribbean” role to petitions for Heard to be replaced in “Aquaman 2.”
However, the most urgent response came from activists asking the question: What are the repercussions for the #MeToo movement?
The jury ultimately awarded Depp 10 million in compensatory damages and 5 million in punitive damages, capping the total payout at 10.35 million, after ruling Heard defamed him with a Washington Post op-ed that alleged emotional, sexual, and physical abuse, without naming Depp. The jury also determined that a statement by one of Depp’s attorneys defamed Heard and ordered the awarding of 2 million in compensatory damages to her.
A “heartbroken” Heard called the verdict a “setback” for women everywhere, saying in a press statement that “it sets...
