Amanda De Cadenet Statement

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 behavior but she did not.

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

I want to emphasize 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.
