Amber Heard commented on the recent allegations made by Blake Lively against Justin Baldoni, stating that social media often turns lies into perceived truths. Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, claiming he launched a targeted social media campaign to damage her reputation.
In her statement to NBC News, Heard emphasized the destructive nature of social media, saying, “A lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on.” She referenced her own experiences during her defamation trial with Johnny Depp, where a jury found her liable for defamation.
Lively’s complaint alleges that Baldoni hired a PR crisis manager, who previously worked with Depp, to manipulate public perception during the promotion of their film. Baldoni’s representatives have denied the allegations, calling them “categorically false.”
This situation highlights the ongoing challenges and repercussions of public figures navigating social media narratives.
