Guthrie then said, “One day you may want to tell your daughter about this orhave to tell your daughter about everythingthat you’ve gone through. What would you want to say?” Said Heard, “I think no matter what, it will mean something. I did the right thing. I did everything I could to stand up for myself and the truth.”

Depp — who has two kids with his ex Vanessa Paradis, son Jack, 20, and daughter Lily-Rose, 23 — said part of his motivation in pursuing the trial against Heard was to do so for his children.

“Speaking the truth was something that I owed to my children and to all those who have remained steadfast in their support of me. I feel at peace knowing I have finally accomplished that,” he said in hisreaction to the verdict. “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.”
