Description:

Amanda De Cadenet Declaration 18 June 2020

Published in The Daily Mail on 24 June 2020 where it was referred to as Amanda De Cadenet’s Declaration. It appears Amanda de Cadenet did republish this or some parts of it in response to the media attention at the time where it was referred to as ‘her statement’ although she has since deleted the post.

N.B The spelling of women as ‘womxn’ is Amanda de Cadenet’s preference.

As a long time womxn's rights activist and survivor, it is my fundamental position to believe womxn who speak up about domestic or sexual assault.

Historically womxn's rights in this area have been chronically undermined and womxn have had their voices silenced. This is one of the reasons why, when Amber told me her version of the conflict between her and Johnny, it was my inclination to believe her and support her.

I recently acknowledged that I will not testifying (sic) in Johnny Depp's upcoming defamation case against the Sun. I also acknowledged that new facts have come to my attention which has changed my perspective on this matter.

When the first audio tape was released, and I heard Amber being verbally abusive to Johnny, I was horrified. I texted Robbie Kaplan, Amber's attorney, and let her know I needed to speak with her urgently. When we spoke, I told her I was appalled and shocked to hear how Amber was speaking to Johnny and that it was not ok with me.

When I confronted Amber concerning the recording, she informed me it was edited by Johnny's team. I had hoped Amber would take accountability for her behaviour but she did not.

I have not spoken with Amber since this exchange and have come to the very painful realisation that someone who l advocated for and believed so wholeheartedly, was not entirely forthcoming with me.

I want to emphasise that I have no further personal knowledge of what happened between Johnny and Amber, and no knowledge of the truth of her accusations against him.

I have made this statement in support of due process and upholding the truth.
