Amber Heard criticises social media as she reacts to Blake Lively's complaint about Justin Baldoni Actor Amber Heard has said social media is where lie becomes truth after Blake Lively accused co-star Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment.
In a statement given to Sky News's US partner NBC News, Heard said: "Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying 'a lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on'.
In a legal complaint, Lively, 37, also claims 40-year-old Baldoni, the film's director, and the studio behind the movie It Ends With Us embarked on a subsequent "multi-tiered plan" to damage her reputation.
According to the complaint, the plan included a proposal to plant theories on online message boards, engineer a social media campaign and place news stories critical of Lively.
Heard, who was found to have defamed Depp by a jury, said at the time the decision "sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated".
