Vasquez said on Good Morning America that domestic violence does not have a gender.

When asked by George Stephanopoulos if a deal could be worked out where Heard doesn't have to pay damages to Depp if she doesn't appeal, he said he couldn't comment but that it was about restoring his reputation.

The verdict was not influenced by social media, according to Chew.

Speaking on the Today show, Chew denied claims made by Heard's lawyer that there was an organized online campaign for Depp, calling it "utterly baseless."
