Amber Heard says she has seen “firsthand” the online abuse and smear tactics that Blake Lively has endured in her ongoing feud with “It Ends With Us” co-star and director Justin Baldoni, who’s been accused of sexual harassment and other unwanted behavior on the Sony romantic drama.

Heard, who now lives in Spain, said in a statement to NBC News on Monday that “social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying ‘A lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on.’ I saw this firsthand and up close. It’s as horrifying as it is destructive.”
