Amber Heard's sister Whitney Heard posted an emotional message of support after the "Aquaman" actress lost her defamation trial against Johnny Depp.
Whitney Heard said in her statement Sunday that:
She "will always be proud" that Amber, 36, testified against Depp, 58, despite the jury ruling in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star's favor last Wednesday.
"I still stand with you, sissy. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow I will always be proud of you for standing up for yourself, for testifying both here in Virginia and the UK."
Moreover, for being the voice of so many who cannot speak to the things that happen behind closed doors," Whitney wrote in her Instagram caption.
Whitney acknowledged that both she and Amber knew the lawsuits would be:
"An uphill battle and that the "cards were stacked" against them but credited her for speaking up "regardless."
"I am so honored to testify for you, and I would do it a million times over because I know what I saw and because the truth is forever on your side."
"I am so sorry that it was not reflected in the decision made by this jury, but I will never give up on you, and neither will anyone who stands with you."
"Forever by your side, #istandwithamberheard."
A jury awarded Depp $15 million after deciding that Heard defamed her ex-husband in her 2018 op-ed for the Washington Post.
She referred to herself as a public figure representing domestic abuse.
Depp was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.
