'She’s completely delusional': Amber Heard's 'rando' jibe at Kate Moss draws flak online

The jury 'heard over three weeks of nonstop relentless testimony from paid employees and, towards the end of the trial, randos,' Heard said

Amber Heard's attorney Elaine Bredehoft made an appearance on 'The Today Show' on Tuesday, June 14. The 'Aquaman' actress, too, was called on the show and she opened up about the defamation trial between her and her ex-husband Johnny Depp. Reportedly, the hour-long session of Heard with Savannah Guthrie is set to be aired on June 15, Wednesday. 

NBC shared some clips from the show on their Twitter feed. In the clips, Amber Heard is seen expressing her views regarding the trial verdict. Just like her attorney Bredehoft, she too was of the opinion that Depp's witnesses were paid by him for their testimonies.

In the interview, Heard claims the verdict is bound to impact the free speech of domestic abuse survivors in the United States. She also highlights the differences between the UK 'wife beater' libel case in 2020 and the defamation trial that recently concluded. 

In the clip released by the news channel, the host asks Heard for a list of possible reasons as to why the jury did not believe her. The 36-year-old says, "They had sat in those seats and heard over three weeks of nonstop relentless testimony from paid employees and, towards the end of the trial, randos — as I say."

The use of the word 'randos' seemed to point at Kate Moss and this did not go down well with netizens. One user said on Twitter, "Not Amber Heard referring to Kate Moss (KATE MOSS!!) as a “rando”…she just cannot accept the truth, she’s completely delusional, completely wrapped up in her own narcissism, she needs to seek serious help. #AmberHeardIsALiar #JohnnyDeppIsInnocent #AmberHeardlsAnAbuser"

Another asked, "Why is she even confronting Guthrie?"

Kate Moss, who dated Depp in the 90s, said in her testimony that when she fell down the stairs, "I screamed and he [Depp] came running back to help me and carried me to my room and got me medical attention." This positively impacted Depp's case.

Meanwhile, the 'Aquaman' actress also reflected on the jury decision in the Guthrie interview. She said, "I don't blame them. I actually understand. He's a beloved character, and people feel they know him. He's a fantastic actor. But even somebody who is sure I'm deserving of all this hate and vitriol, even if you think that I'm lying, you still couldn't look me in the eye and tell me that you think on social media there's been a fair representation. You cannot tell me that you think that this has been fair."

Heard also said that jurors did not believe her as, for three and a half weeks, they were hearing testimonies by Johnny Depp's attorneys and witnesses. In Heard's opinion, she was portrayed as a 'non-credible person'. The actress added how the testimonies from Depp's witnesses conditioned the jury "not to believe a word that came out of my mouth."

#AmberTurd and #AmberHeardIsAnAbuser were some hashtags that were trending on social media during the trial. Speaking of the verdict, Heard also said that she was disappointed. She stated she was heartbroken that the 'mountain of evidence' she presented was 'not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband."
