"One of Robinson's most high-profile clients was Heard, who makes it clear that she did not participate in "Silenced" for any personal or professional gain. "This is not about me. I have lost my ability to speak," she says in the film, according to Variety. "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.""
"According to early reviews of "Silenced," Heard does not address specifics of her relationship with Depp and their split, but nonetheless praises Robinson for having understood "the bigger picture" when her legal fight got underway. "What has happened to me is an amplified version of what a lot of women live through," she says, going on to describe how Depp's supporters would hurl pieces of trash at her as she entered and exited the courtroom each day. "I didn't understand it could get so much worse for me as a woman, using my voice.""
Amber Heard appears in the documentary Silenced, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and is directed by Selina Miles. The film examines how defamation laws have been used to silence abuse survivors and profiles international human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson. Heard states she did not participate for personal or professional gain and says she has lost her ability to speak and does not want to tell her story. Heard and Johnny Depp were married from 2015 to 2016, and Heard accused him of verbal and physical abuse. Depp sued The Sun in 2018 over a "wife beater" label and lost. Early reviews note Heard does not address specifics but praises Robinson and recounts courtroom harassment.
