Amber Heard has settled her multi-million dollar US defamation case with former husband Johnny Depp, saying she has “lost faith in the American legal system”.
She said that she will not be going ahead with a planned appeal after their trial in the US.
In an Instagram post, the actress said that she came to the decision after “a great deal of deliberation” and that she never “chose this”.
The post said: “I defended my truth and in doing so my life as I knew it has been destroyed.
“The vilification I have faced on social media is an amplified version of the ways in which 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.”
The actress added that this post is not an admission of any actions, and “not an act of concession”.
