- Amber Heard sat down with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie for a sit-down interview about the Johnny Depp trial.
- Heard says she has no “bad feelings or ill will” towards her ex-husband.
- A Virginia court sided with Depp in his defamation lawsuit against her and ordered Heard to pay $15M in damages.
During an extensive sit down interview with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie that aired on Dateline on Friday night, 36-year-old actress Amber Heard said that she is “terrified” ex-husband Johnny Depp will sue her again.
Earlier this month, Heard lost a highly-publicized lawsuit to Depp, with the court ruling in her ex-husband’s favor and ordering her to pay $15 million in damages.
Speaking to Guthrie for her first sit-down interview following the trial loss, Heard — who “absolutely” cannot afford to pay the millions of dollars in damages, according to her lawyer — said that she’s “terrified” Depp will launch a second defamation lawsuit.

The weeks following Heard’s trial loss to Depp certainly haven’t been easy on the actress, who has been scrutinized from all angles in the media. Last week, one of the jurors in the trial anonymously spoke out, saying that Heard made the jury “uncomfortable” and that they believed she was the “aggressor” who was shedding “crocodile tears.”
