After the settlement was reached in December, Heard issued an announcement.
“After quite a lot of deliberation, I’ve made a really tough resolution to settle the defamation case introduced in opposition to me by my ex-husband in Virginia. It is essential for me to say that I by no means selected this,” she wrote. “I defended my reality and in doing so my life as I knew it was destroyed. The vilification I’ve confronted on social media is an amplified model of the methods by which girls are re-victimized after they come ahead.”
“Now I lastly have a possibility to emancipate myself from one thing I tried to go away over six years in the past and on phrases I can comply with,” Heard continued. “I’ve made no admission, this isn’t an act of concession.”
