Julia Fox has explained why she felt compelled to stand up for Amber Heard during the bitter $100 million libel lawsuit against ex-husband Johnny Depp.

Talking to Emily Ratajkowski about the models High Low podcast, the actress, 32, said Heard’s case proved “none of us are safe” as a “blonde, beautiful and successful” actress like Heard could allegedly be abused.

Fox defended Heard, 36, on Instagram during the Depp v Heard defamation lawsuit in May, writing on Instagram: “This is clearly a sick way of still controlling her life by suing her around the world.

‘Did she hit him? Yes. Was it abuse? No. You have to have power to abuse it. She was 25. He was clearly always much more powerful, both physically and financially.”

Depp’s highly controversial libel lawsuit ended with a final jury verdict in favor of the Pirates of the Caribbean star, 59.

Exes Heard and Depp — who tied the knot in 2015 and were married a year before Heard filed for divorce in 2016 — battled it out in court to determine whether a 2018 Washington Post essay written by Heard, in which she actor accused of domestic violence, slandered Depp.

Emily, 31, said: “I want to talk to you about standing up for Amber Heard because I thought that was really unbelievable…

Julia said, ‘Thank you, that was great! I feel there is a movement on TikTok regarding Amber and Johnny when people read all the documents, as a backtrack, but still the Damage has been done.

“I had to say something because if it could happen to Amber Heard, who is a white, blonde, beautiful, successful actress, because people say she didn’t have a career ahead of him. she had more than 10 movies i think none of us are safe.

“I feel compelled to say something. guys. you don’t realize this is going to harm humanity, all the women in the world will suffer from this.

“Abuse is so insidious and sometimes you don’t even know you’re being abused and sometimes you don’t want to see yourself as a victim and you try to be tough and fight back and say ‘we’re fighting each other’.

“It’s like b***h, we know he’s yelling f*****ga** at you. I always stand up for women in a situation because I’ve been there and I know how lonely it is.’

“I know how scary it is when people you’ve looked at all your life look at you weird, it’s like, “I’m not a liar”

“Call me a name in the book, but I’m not a liar.”

Emily added, “And the way people turned her into this hysterical character…” with Julia replying, “I know, it’s twisted.”

After a months-long trial, Heard was ordered to pay the actor $10 million in damages and $5 million in punitive damages, though the second payment was reduced by the judge to $350,000 by Virginia law.

Heard was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages from the $100 million she sought in her counterclaim against her ex.

Afterward, Heard called the verdict “unfair” during an interview with the Today show, insisting that she would “stand by every word of her testimony until the day she dies.”

The movie star doubled down on her allegations that Depp was physically abusive to her during their one-year marriage, accusing him of “lying” in the stands when he said he “never hit her” while speaking with Today host Savannah Guthrie.

She also told the outlet that she was looking forward to focusing on motherhood after the trial, explaining, “I get to be a full-time mother without having to juggle phone calls with lawyers.

‘I want to move on with my life. I have a baby. I have to continue. I want to move on, and I want Johnny to move on too.”

She doesn’t appear to have moved on, however, as it was recently reported that Heard had appealed the defamation lawsuit.

According to documents filed with the Virginia Court of Appeals, Heard, who still owes Depp $10.3 million in damages, alleged that her ex-husband misled the jury and that the trial lacked “clear and convincing evidence” of actual malice.

She also cited the court’s alleged failure to invalidate the damages awarded to her and Depp after they found they had defamed each other.

Heard was reported to be living in Mallorca, Spain, with her daughter and her partner, cameraman Bianca Butti after the trial, but she was recently spotted in London.

Elsewhere in the podcast, Emily revealed that she is actively trying to “balance” her truck-obsessed son Sylvester’s toy collection by buying him toys that are geared specifically toward girls.

The star told Julia that her to “literally gets so excited” about “things with wheels.”

“But is this exactly what he naturally likes?” she wondered, before saying it makes her “so sad” to think of her little boy being pressured to get “tougher” as he gets older.

The author went on to say, ‘I’m like, are those the little ways you can make sure the conditioning doesn’t happen? And spend a lot of time with women?’

Meanwhile, Fox, who shares a one-year-old son named Valentino with ex-husband Peter Artemiev, also raved about the fact that her baby “loves trucks” and is “freak” about them.

But to keep things “balanced,” Kanye West’s former muse says she bought a pink truck and a “pram with a doll in it.”

“It’s hard being a single mom to raise a son. You just don’t want them to end up like any man you’ve ever met, you know?” said the Uncut Gems actress. ‘How do I prevent this conditioning from happening?’

Earlier this year, Ratajkowski opened up about her issues raising a son and why she isn’t trying to give him the sex.

“Babies have this genderless quality to them, so I’m thrilled to offer him that now,” she said Interview magazine. “I just treated him like this wonderful little human being introduced to the world.”

Still, Ratajkowski said she’s “found that once people know that ‘her toddler is a boy,’ she ‘gets along’ with loved ones differently than a girl.”

“Sometimes I feel frustrated because of that because I think there’s even a tendency to throw a little boy in the air, be a little rougher with them than you would with a little girl,” she said. “That stuff is already bothering me because I can see where it leads.”

Last week, she revealed that being a single mom is “so much fun” because she no longer feels like she owes anything to any person or man after her divorce from ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard.
