“I know my childhood didn’t look like everybody’s childhood, and it’s a very particular thing to deal with, but it’s also the only thing that I know,” she said, later adding that fame is a “weird thing to navigate.”

“I hope that my quest to have the truth be told will have helped others, men or women, who have found themselves in my situation, and that those supporting them never give up,” he added, sharing that the “jury gave me my life back.”
Heard, who is mom to 19-month-old daughter Oonagh Paige, said in a statement after the verdict, “I’m heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence and sway of my ex-husband.”
