Amber Heard said she still plans to donate $7 million of her divorce settlement with
"I made a pledge, and that pledge is made over time by its nature," Heard told Savannah Guthrie on the "Today" show Wednesday after being asked if she thinks having not donated the money hurt her credibility.
She told Guthrie that she intends to honor the once-made pledge.
It was revealed during the trial that, despite Heard previously saying would donate the $7 million divorce settlement, she had not done that yet.
"Do you think, for the jurors sitting there, do you think they felt like that was you getting caught of the lie?" Guthrie asked Heard during their interview.
"So much of the trial was meant to cast dispersions on who I am as a human, my credibility, to call me a liar in every way you can, and this is another one of the examples where if you pull back and you think about it, I shouldn't have to have donated it in an effort to be believed," Heard said.
