'Amber Heard didn’t take accountability for anything, Johnny owned his issues'

Johnny Depp's attorneys Benjamin Chew and Camille Vasquez have  revealed why the jury did not believe Amber Heard's claims.

Vasquez and Chew appeared in their first tell-all interview on American TV show Wednesday.

In response to the question about Heard's claims, Chew told the host: “My sense is that it had to do a lot with accountability."

The lawyer added: "Johnny owned his issues. He was very candid about his alcohol and drug issues. He was candid about some unfortunate texts that he wrote."

He continued: "I think it was sharp contrast to Ms. Heard, who didn’t seem, or at least the jury may have perceived that she didn’t take accountability for anything."

During the interview, Vasquez recalled the moment the verdict was announced and feeling "an overwhelming sense of relief."

"I was speaking with a mutual friend of Johnny and ours and he said, 'I haven’t seen Johnny smile like that in six years,' " she said.

"The weight of the world is off of his shoulders. He’s got his life back," Chew said.
