If she continues to speak out about their relationship, she is afraid of future lawsuits from Johnny, but she still loves him.
The defamation trial took place at the Fairfax County Circuit court. The photo was taken by Michael Reynolds/POOL.
Heard said in an interview with NBC that she took for granted her right to speak after the verdict.
Heard continued to argue that the Washington Post op-ed at the center of the trial was not about the actor.
The actress said the op-ed was about giving her voice to a bigger cultural conversation that was happening at the time.
Heard said she didn't want to make it about him or do anything to hurt him, so she had her lawyers review the drafts.
Heard said that she loves Johnny and that she has no bad feelings or ill will towards him.
Heard said that a defamation lawsuit is meant to give her another chance to silence her critics. It is meant to listen to you.
The American Civil Liberties Union and the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles will benefit from Heard's donation. The executive of the American Civil Liberties Union testified during the trial that he believed Musk made a $500,000 payment on Heard's behalf and that she had not donated the $3.5 million she had pledged. Heard said Wednesday that she still plans to honor her pledge and that it may have hurt her credibility during the trial.
The Post op-ed implied that he abused her, leading to a six-week trial in which he sued his ex- wife for defamation. The jury found Heard guilty of defaming the actor and awarded him $10 million in compensation and $5 million in punitive damages, but the maximum amount allowed under Virginia state law was reduced to $350,000. Heard was awarded $2 million for her part in the counter suit. Heard can't afford to pay the $10 million judgement according to her lawyer.
The trial wasn't fair, according to Heard.
There are jury rules when it comes to domestic abuse.
Musk is likely to have paid a portion of the donations.
