Heard, who lost the trial to ex-husband Depp, recently stated in an interview that she told the truth in her testimony and that social media may have influenced the jury’s decision.

In response to Heard’s claim, one of the jurors on the high-profile defamation trial denied that social media influenced the verdict.

The anonymous juror, who spoke out for the first time on Thursday in an interview with Good Morning America, insisted that the jury ‘followed the evidence.’

“Social media did not impact us. We followed the evidence,” said the unnamed juror. “We didn’t take into account anything outside [the courtroom]. We only looked at the evidence.”

“Myself and at least two other jurors don’t use Twitter or Facebook. Others who had it made a point not to talk about it,” he added.
