Amber Heard offered insight into how her legal battles with ex-husband Johnny Depp have affected her life in the new Sundance Film Festival documentary Silenced.

The Aquaman actress detailed the toll her legal battles with ex-husband Johnny Depp have taken on her life in the new documentary Silenced, which explores how defamation laws have been used against women who have come forward with allegations of abuse.

“This is not about me,” she told director Selina Miles, according to Variety, in the documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival Jan. 24. “I have lost my ability to speak. I am not here to tell my story. I don’t want to tell my story. In fact, I don’t want to use my voice anymore. That’s the problem.”

Shortly after Heard, 39, filed for divorce from Depp, 62, in 2016, she accused her ex of being “verbally and physically abusive” towards her, which he denied.

Two years later, the Pirates of the Caribbean star sued the U.K.’s The Sun newspaper over a story that labeled him a “wife beater” in reference to Heard. She worked with international human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson on her involvement in the trial, which Depp lost in 2020.

“The outcome of that trial depended on my participation, and I depended on the outcome of that trial,” she explained in the film, per Variety. “What has happened to me is an amplified version of what a lot of women live through.”

Heard went on to discuss how her continued engagement with the case began to affect her public reputation.

“I remember at the close of the trial, the idea that I could say something to the press came up,” she recalled. “[Robinson] asked if I was sure about that. [I thought], ‘If they throw things at me, it will make this point more obvious.’ I didn’t understand it could get so much worse for me as a woman, using my voice.”

The legal saga continued in 2019, when Depp sued Heard for libel over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post in which she, without directly naming Depp, detailed her experience with domestic abuse.

After a six-week trial—which gained significant attention on social media as a result of being livestreamed—a jury ruled in Depp’s favor in June 2022, concluding that he had been defamed.
