Twitter Slams Amber Heard's Plan To Appeal Defamation Verdict: 'Get Help, Move On'

Amber Heard plans to appeal the verdict in her ex-husband Johnny Depp's defamation suit against her.

Heard’s attorney, Elaine Charlson Bredehoft, told "Today's" Savannah Guthrie Thursday that her client "absolutely" plans to appeal a Virginia jury's decision that the "Aquaman" star defamed Depp when she claimed she was a survivor of sexual violence in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed.

"She has some excellent grounds for it," the lawyer said.

Bredehoft claimed that during the trial, Depp's team was able to suppress "an enormous amount of evidence" from his 2020 U.K. case, in which the actor lost a libel lawsuit against British tabloid The Sun for calling him a "wife-beater."

"The court found there, and we weren't allowed to tell the jury this, but the court found that Mr. Depp had committed at least 12 acts of domestic violence, including sexual violence against Amber," Bredehoft said. "So what did Depp's team learn from this? Demonize Amber, and suppress the evidence."

The lawyer claimed that Depp won because Heard "was demonized here," adding: "A number of things were allowed in this court that should not have been allowed, and it caused the jury to be confused."

However, a number of social media users said they would prefer that Heard move on from the legal battle, as she previously said she wanted to during her testimony.

"Lord no, please make it stop! They're both with issues. She needs to let this go and move on with her life. And I'm sure Depp has no issue with moving on at this point. He wanted to show both were abusive in their own ways. And it wasn't just a one-way street. Get help move on," one person tweeted.

"So much for moving on! She only intended to 'move on' if she got all his money," another Twitter user claimed.

"Why is Heard appealing? The more she talks the more people dislike her. I hope she'll be happy living outside of Hollywood!" a third person added.

"Now that's not a way to move on @realamberheard," another opined.

After the verdict was handed to the judge and read, Heard released a statement on Twitter saying she was disappointed "beyond words" and "heartbroken" over the decision.

Her fans showed their support for her on social media by letting her know they still stand by her.

"We are with you, Amber. Stay strong," one commented.

"I still believe you, Amber. I'm with you till the end. We, Korean feminists and fans are all behind you. Although the verdict is disappointing and depressing, we won't lose hope. We love you," another supporter added.

"We believe you and stand by you," a third person wrote.

"Your strength has inspired so many of us. We're standing with you Amber," a fourth Twitter user opined.

"I believe you, Amber! Thank you for being strong, using your voice and being a warrior and [an] advocate for injustices against women everywhere! I will continue to stand with you, through and through," another tweeted.

Depp was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. Judge Penney Azcarate reduced the punitive damages to Virginia's statutory cap of $350,000, Entertainment Weekly reported.

Heard, for her part, was awarded $2 million by the jury in compensatory damages for her counterclaim but nothing in punitive damages. The jury found Depp liable after his attorney referred to Heard's claims as a "hoax."
