After Johnny Depp won the libel case against ameber Hilde, both sides issued statements on this result. Depp said that "this decision has brought my life back", while Hilde said that he was "very disappointed"
Depp stated in the statement:
"Six years ago, my life, the lives of my children, the lives of many people around me, and the lives of some people who have supported and believed me for many years, were forever changed in the blink of an eye. False and very serious criminal charges were placed on my head through the media, triggering fierce and dense hate content, although no charges were ever filed against me.
... from the beginning, the purpose of this lawsuit was to expose the truth recklessly. I owe it to my children and those who firmly support me to tell the truth. Now, I feel peaceful knowing that I have done it.
I hope that this journey of pursuing the truth can help others, whether men or women, those who are in a similar situation with me, and those who support them, and never give up. I hope to return to the situation of "presumption of innocence", whether in court or in media reports.
The truth will never die. "
Hilde statement:
"Now my disappointment can't be described in words. My heart is broken: the mountain of evidence still can't resist my ex husband's great power, influence and influence. What I'm even more disappointed about is what this judgment means to other women. It's a setback, which makes time go back to the era when women's voice may be publicly humiliated, which makes the concept that violence against women will be taken seriously a setback.
I believe Johnny's lawyer succeeded in getting the jury to ignore the key point of freedom of speech and the decisive evidence that led us to victory in Britain. I am very sad that I lost this lawsuit, but what is more sad is that I seem to have lost a right as an American - to speak freely and openly. "
