So much for staying out of the spotlight! Weeks after a Virginia jury sided with Johnny Depp in his defamation case against Amber Heard, she is now speaking out about the so-called unfair trial.

In an exclusive NBC News interview with Savannah Guthrie (set to air on Today Tuesday and Wednesday morning with an hour-long special on Dateline Friday), Amber called out social media for impacting the jury’s decision and shared why she thinks her ex-husband won the case.

In the article, she claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse – and while she didn’t name names, Depp’s attorney’s argued that the actor’s reputation and career suffered as a result of accusations made in the write-up.

After a six-week trial, the jury sided with Depp, awarding him $10.35 million in damages. That said, Amber did walk away with $2 million in damages after the jury found that Johnny’s attorney had defamed her during the trial.
