The moment Amber Heard hears she has lost her defamation case against ex-husband Johnny Depp has been captured in in-court video.
The jury in Fairfax County Circuit Court in Virginia ruled Heard had defamed Depp and awarded him US$15 million (NZ$23m) in damages from the actress.
The jury also ruled in favour of Heard in some aspects of her countersuit against her ex-husband and awarded her US$2 million in damages.
Before the verdict was read out, Heard looked nervous but that quickly turned sombre as her fate was sealed.
Sitting in between her lawyers as the verdict continued to be read out, a solemn-looking Heard kept her head down and looked on the verge of tears.
After the court was adjourned and Judge Penney S. Azcarate left the courtroom, Heard hugged her lawyers, before quickly leaving with her team.
As Heard left through a rear exit in the courthouse, you can hear people yelling and booing at her as she gets into black pickup truck.
The actor broke her silence in a statement posted on Twitter, saying the disappointment she feels is "beyond words".
"I'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence was still not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence and sway of my ex-husband," Heard said. "I'm even more disappointed what this verdict means for other women.
"It is a setback. It sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated."
The 36-year-old said she believed Depp's lawyers "succeeded in getting the jury to overlook" freedom of speech.
"I'm sad I lost this case," Heard said. "But I am sadder still that I seem to have lost a right I thought I had as an American - to speak freely and openly."
