KEY POINTS

  • Amber Heard said the jury believed Johnny Depp because he was a fantastic actor
  • The "Aquaman" star also called Depp's witnesses his paid employees and randos
  • Twitter users slammed Heard for questioning the jury's intelligence in her interview

Amber Heard stirred up the public once again after the trial.

A preview of the "Aquaman" star's interview with "Today" host Savannah Guthrie was released Monday, where she spoke about the trial after her major loss to Johnny Depp. Heard, 36, said she didn't blame the jury, noting that Depp was a "fantastic actor" and the jurors listened to three weeks of testimonies from Depp's paid employees.

Heard's words didn't sit well with the netizens who felt that her statement was inconsistent. For them, she sounded like she was insulting the jury who did their job and sacrificed six weeks of their time for the trial.

"Just watched the clip that NBC News sent out today. #AmberHeard doesn't blame the jury because #JohnnyDepp is 'a fantastic actor.' And the jurors heard [three] weeks of testimony from paid employees and 'randos' like @devilsnight @MorganTremaine .@LawCrimeNetwork," Angenette Levy, the host and correspondent at Law&Crime Network, which covered the trial, tweeted.

"Honestly, this seems insulting to the intelligence of the jurors. #JohnnyDepp v. #AmberHeard @LawCrimeNetwork," she added.

"This is an insult to the jury. As if they based their verdict on his movie-star status rather than the law. No Amber. They saw through your lies. Period," another added.

"Why insult the jury because you don't agree with the verdict? If they ruled in Amber's favor, you would be singing a much different tune!" a third person wrote.

"I especially love how she says she doesn't blame the jury well clearly [you] do because [you] have insulted them & basically saying they didn't do their job or take it seriously I'd love to see her be interviewed by someone who's not gonna take her [poo emoji] & tell her like it is," a fourth user said.

"It's insulting to the jurors and ... everyone who has watched the trial. It's also absurd to subtly suggest she didn't had [sic] the chance to present her case, she could call witnesses to support her claims, [but] they didn't want to show up, the only [ones] who did are the 'experts' she paid," a fifth user opined.

Meanwhile, Heard's supporters continued to back her. Some even addressed the allegations, saying the jurors were not knowledgeable.

"I mean...they couldn't figure out how to fill out the jury forms. It's not like there's a lot of intelligence there to insult," one commented.

"I will never understand this, only in America do they use people [with] ZERO law knowledge to decide someone's fate. Smh. Who created that stupid concept?? Genuine question from a non-American," another asked.

"And not to mention the somewhat inconsistent verdict. They didn't know what they were doing at all," a third person wrote.

"They delivered an inconsistent, contradictory verdict, had to ask for clarification from the judge on what they were even meant to be doing and couldn't even fill a form out correctly. Any credibility re their intelligence they blew themselves. FYI-Three judges found him guilty," a fourth person opined.

"There were 37 pages of jury instructions. How did they get through them in 2 days? Jurors were sleeping. They went to the courthouse everyday through a sea of Depp fans/signs. The court was packed with snickering fans who giggled at his snarky comments. The bias is so clear," a fifth user stated.

Heard's interview will appear on "Today" throughout the week and air on a "Dateline" special on Friday at 8 p.m. E.T.
