Nov. 26 2016, Published 6:52 p.m. ET
It's been four months since Johnny Depp and Amber Heard finalized their messy divorce, but the actress who filed for domestic abuse against the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, isn't done talking about what went wrong.
In a new project called Girlgaze, Heard appears in a PSA to talk about her own experience with domestic violence.
"I guess there was a lot of shame attached to that label of 'victim,'" Heard said in the video. "It happens to so many women. When it happens in your home, behind closed doors, with someone you love, it's not as straightforward. If a stranger did this it would be a no-brainer."
"As a woman having gone through this in the public stage… I have a unique opportunity to remind other women that this doesn't have to be the way it is," she went on. "You don't have to do it alone. You're not alone, and we can change this."
As RadarOnline.com reported, Heard filed for divorce from Depp in May after only being married for 15 months.
The divorce documents showed she was splitting from the actor because of "irreconcilable differences," but the drama quickly escalated in hours after the divorce news broke.
It was discovered that Heard had requested a restraining order from him, where later it was learned she had submitted photos and videos of Depp taking out his anger on Heard at home .
As their settlement came to a close in August, Heard pocketed $7 million from Depp, but later donated the money to organizations ACLU and the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles to prove to fans she wasn't a gold digger.
