Amber Heard的發言人向媒體表示:「We believe the court made errors that prevented a just and fair verdict consistent with the first amendment. We are therefore appealing the verdict(我們認為法院犯了錯,妨礙了與第一修正案一致的公正和公平判決)。」並指他們明白這個上訴通知將會引起Twitter上的大量輿論,但認為他們必須採取一些行動去保障判決的公平和正義。
對於Amber Heard的上訴通知,Johnny Depp的發言人在一份聲明中表示:「The jury listened to the extensive evidence presented during the six-week trial and came to a clear and unanimous verdict that the defendant herself defamed Mr Depp in multiple instances(陪審團在為期六週的審判期間,聽取了提供的大量證據,並得出了一個明確而一致的判決,即被告本人多次誹謗戴普先生)。」因此他們團隊對案子維持原判充滿信心。
