Description:

Actor Amber Heard, who in 2016 accused ex-husband Johnny Depp of domestic violence abuse, revealed the painful aftermath of her experience at an event Thursday on sexual violence during the United Nations General Assembly.

“What I survived was not the worst that happened to me. It was what happened after,” Heard said Thursday, speaking to ambassadors and other international government leaders at the European Union’s mission to the United Nations. The event at U.N. headquarters in New York City was organized by Rise, a sexual assault advocacy group, which said it was the first such survivor town hall at the United Nations.

She said that after coming forward with her abuse allegations she faced daily death threats and “relentless and persistent assaults on my character.”
