Amber Heard suffered a heavy defeat in the Johnny Depp defamation trial. Now her sister encourages her with an emotional social media post.

For weeks, Amber Heard fought a bitter court battle with her ex Johnny Depp. The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star has sued his ex-wife for defamation after she accused him of mental and physical abuse. The jury ruled against Amber, who suffered a severe blow. The “Aquaman” actress earned a lot of malice and ridicule for the process. So far, only a few people have backed the 36-year-old. Now Amber’s sister Whitney Henriquez spoke up on Instagram. In an emotional message, she supports her sister.

On her Instagram account, Amber’s sister Whitney uploaded a picture that speaks volumes. Against a black background is the hashtag “Istandwithamber” (in German: I stand by Amber). A symbol and sign of solidarity that Whitney explains in emotional words to her sister Amber in the caption.

“I still stand by you, sis. Yesterday, today and tomorrow I will always be proud of you for standing up for yourself,” she assures her sister Amber in the post. For Whitney, Amber herself has become a symbol and “the voice of so many who can’t speak about it what happens behind closed doors.”

Though Whitney knew Amber would have a bad hand in the process, she still expresses her admiration for her sister. “You got up and spoke up anyway. It’s an honor for me to testify for you and I will testify for you a million times over,” continued Whitney, who regretted that the truth would have received little attention from the jury. The actress, who wants to make an appeal, should be all the more happy about the declaration of war by her closest advocate: “I will never give up on you, and nobody who stands by you, we will do it. Forever by your side…”
