“It’s important for me to say that I never chose this,” Heard claimed.

“I defended my truth in doing so my life as I knew it was destroyed. The vilification I have faced on social media is an amplified version of the ways women are re-victimised when they come forward.”

“Now I finally have an opportunity to emancipate myself from something I attempted to leave over six years ago and on terms, I can agree to. I have made no admission. This is not an act of concession. There are no restrictions or gags with respect to my voice moving forward,” she added.

Amber Heard says she now just wants to move on following the court battles in England and the U.S.

Heard pointed out that in the UK libel trial she believed her testimony was “vindicated by a robust, impartial and fair system.” And that in the US-based case she felt “popularity and power mattered more than reason and due process.”

“In the interim, I was exposed to a type of humiliation that I simply cannot re-live. I cannot afford to risk an impossible bill – one that is not just financial, but also psychological, physical, and emotional,” the actress claimed.
