Amber Heard has revealed how she feels about ex-husband Johnny Depp now after going through a gruelling libel trial.
The Aquaman actress suffered a crushing defeat following a six-week trial after Depp sued her for an article she published in 2018 detailing her experience with domestic abuse.
A seven-person jury found Heard, 36, did defame Depp, 59, despite the article not naming him. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor argued that it was clear her Washington Post article was about him and suggested he was physically and sexually abusive towards her.
The pair began dating in 2011 before tying the knot in 2015. However, Heard filed for divorce in May 2016 and filed for a restraining order, accusing the actor of being abusive.
With the trial wrapped up, Heard is now opening up about the bitter legal battle and has admitted that, despite the tumultuous nature of their marriage, she still has fond feelings for Depp in light of the good times they shared when they first began dating.
Speaking to the Today show host Savanna Guthrie, Heard said: ‘Absolutely. I love him. I loved him with all my heart and I tried the best I could to make a deeply broken relationship work and I couldn’t.’
She then added: ‘I have no bad feelings or ill will towards him at all. I know that might be hard to understand.
‘Or it might be really easy to understand if you have just ever loved anyone… It should be easy.’
