Amber Heard ‘Absolutely’ Still Loves Johnny Depp Even Though He Subjected Her To ‘Global Humiliation’

Amber Heard says she still loves Johnny Depp, even though she spent weeks cataloging what she called physical and emotional abuse by the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor to a Virginia jury, which found she had defamed him.

In the third and final installment of an interview that will air on NBC’s Dateline on Friday, Heard was asked by host Savannah Guthrie about her previous statement in which she said she “still loves” ex-husband Depp.

“Yes. Absolutely. 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. 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’ve ever loved anyone,” Heard said.

Heard also spoke about what she said was a pledge by Depp to hit her with “total global humiliation.”

“I know he promised it … it feels as though he has,” she said.

The interview was taped just days after a jury ruled that Heard, 36, had defamed Depp, 59, by writing in an op-ed published by The Washington Post that she was a survivor of “domestic abuse.” Depp sued her for $50 million. Heard then countersued for $100 million, claiming that her former husband defamed her when he and his lawyer said she made up her allegations of domestic violence.

The jury ordered Heard to pay her ex $10.4 million.

In the interview, Heard also discussed her pledge to donate the $7 million she got in her divorce settlement from Depp to two charities, which she is yet to do, according to the Daily Mail.

“When grilled by Guthrie about the $3.5 million donation she said she had made to the ACLU from her $7 million divorce settlement from Depp, Heard insisted that she still plans to ‘honor’ that payment, but that she had never intended to make it seem as though it had already been made, despite her stating to the British high court during a previous court case that she ‘had donated’ the money,” the U.K. paper wrote.

“I made a pledge and that pledge is made over time by its nature,” she said. “I don’t know… I feel like so much of the trial was meant to cast dispersions on who I am as a person, my credibility, to call me a liar in every way you can.”
