Amber Heard made a surprise return at Sundance in the documentary 'Silenced,' which chronicles women in defamation cases.
Heard agreed to sit for an interview in “Silenced,” the first film she’s appeared in since 2023’s “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” The actress was clear about her motives in joining the production.
“This is not about me. 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,” Heard said bluntly, sitting for a confessional chat with Miles.
Everyone should be horrified that the door dash girl just got arrested for filming her own assault.
Everyone should be horrified that social media has been used to smear her in the same way we've seen it being used on Amber Heard, Blake Lively, Megan Thee Stallion...
Make no mistake. The cops wheee made to look stupid by their inaction and are punishing her for it.
International human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson is at the center of the documetnary that includes first-person testimonials from client
Focusing on the work of international human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson, and using Robinson’s 2023 book Silenced Women as a framework, the documentary focuses on how defamation laws are weaponized against women who spoke about their experiences with sexual assault, harassment and gender-based violence. The documentary shows the legal mechanisms that have since been employed to punish those women, whether high profile or not, and ensure that they are unable to talk about their own experiences in public.
In Silenced, Heard says in a talking head style interview that she was willing to speak about her experiences dealing with defamation suits to shine a light on the legal retaliation that can be deployed against those who speak about gender-based violence and sexual abuse.
“Amber lent her voice to this film at great personal risk, and with everything that she’s been through, it’s extraordinary that she’s having the courage to continue to speak about her experience,” said Miles, adding, “She was emphatic to us from the beginning that this film isn’t about her.”
i saw someone on twitter talk about this and i want to add, the whole idea that you were tricked into believing johnny depp is tired and needs to be put to rest. a woman was talking about being raped with a bottle and even if for a split second you thought it was fake, there were women out there who used that testimony as a sound with captions like "trying to find what's bad here?" and you laughed, liked, reposted, and at no point did you think that maybe going through this is possibly one of the worst things on the planet even if it was "fake". someone was talking about being violently abused and because there was a chance of it not being true, instead of feeling any emotion ever you chose to .... laugh. hell you even participated by commenting and sharing it with other people, calling it ridiculous and making memes out of it. then you have the audacity to say "no!!!! i'm not a bad person i was just manipulated :((" ........... you called her amber turd for weeeeks ......... people still quote "my dog stepped on a bee" to this day because you helped in making it viral but somehow you were posessed when you wrote those comments and liked those videos and retweeted those memes ... brother i have some news for u if u think u aren't evil
