Three months after Amber Heard divorced Johnny Depp amid a storm of publicity, the actress has spoken candidly about domestic violence in a public service announcement-style video.

The Today show's Aussiest interview ever, Kanye rants and leaves, it's music award season with the ARIAs and the AMAs and a new posthumous song from Prince.
Amber Heard is withdrawing allegations that Johnny Depp physically abused her and has settled her divorce case
"How is this happening to me?" she asks, her voice breaking. "I'm strong. I'm smart. I'm not a victim."
Heard goes on to tell women who are in abusive relationships that talking to someone you trust is "the beginning of choosing yourself".
"It's the only way that people are going to feel comfortable in coming forward, raising their voices, standing up for themselves, is if we change the system in place that keeps them quiet," she says.
"Speak up. Speak up. Raise your voice. Your voice is the most powerful thing and we, together, as women standing shoulder to shoulder, cannot, and will not, any longer accept silence."
