A ‘setback’ for women
Since the post, a spokesperson for Heard responded to it, as reported by People:
As Johnny Depp says he's 'moving forward,' women's rights are moving backward. The verdict's message to victims of domestic violence is ... be afraid to stand up and speak out.
Heard has already mentioned that Depp winning the case is a ‘setback’ for women who are victims of domestic and sexual abuse in her statement after the trial verdict.
The 36-year-old will try to appeal the court’s decision.
