Amber Heard reacts to Johnny Depp's lawyer claiming she gave 'performance of her life' with 'Edward Scissorhands' joke

• Amber Heard gave her first post-trial interview to the "Today" show's Savannah Guthrie.
• Heard made a joke about Depp's acting with a reference to "Edward Scissorhands."

Amber Heard appeared to make a joke about Johnny Depp's role in the 1990 film "Edward Scissorhands" in a new interview with the "Today" show.

During the interview with Savannah Guthrie, Heard was asked about comments made by Johnny Depp's lawyers, who accused her of acting on the stand during the pair's defamation trial. In a statement, Depp's legal team said Heard gave the "performance of her life."

"Says the lawyer for the man who convinced the world he had scissors for fingers?" Heard responded in reference to "Edward Scissorhands," the Tim Burton film in which Depp stars as a man who has scissors for fingers.

"I had listened to weeks of testimony — insinuating that, or saying quite directly that, you know, I'm a terrible actress. So I'm a bit confused how I could be both," Heard added.

Heard's discussion with Guthrie is the first sitdown interview she has conducted since the conclusion of her defamation trial with her ex-husband Johnny Depp on June 1. After six weeks of testimony in Fairfax County, Virginia, jurors found both Johnny Depp and Amber Heard liable for defamation against each other.

Depp was awarded $15 million in damages after a jury found that Heard defamed him in a Washington Post op-ed. Depp was also found liable for defamation against Heard with the jury awarding the "Aquaman" star $2 million in damages.

Elsewhere in the interview, Heard said she behaved in unrecognizable ways during her relationship with Depp.

"I did say and do regrettable things throughout my relationship. I behaved in horrible, unrecognizable to myself, ways — so much regret," Heard said.

Heard also said that she will continue to stand by her testimony that Depp was physically abusive during their relationship.

"Of course, until my dying days, I will stand by every word of my testimony," she said.
