The legal battle between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp has gripped the media and public attention. As a result of her high-profile legal dispute with Johnny Depp, she has come under intense public scrutiny and media focus. The actress has been maintaining a low profile following the court case, where she was found guilty on three counts of defaming Depp and ordered to pay her ex-husband over $10 million in damages.
Amber Heard allegedly received hundreds of death threats and hateful internet memes during her heated defamation trial against Depp. Following the trial, she moved out of the US last year because she felt she “just had to get out of the U.S.”
What Made Amber Heard Get Out of the US After Johnny Depp Trial?
After losing the verdict in court, Amber Heard disappeared for a few months as she moved to Spain. After relocating to Madrid, where she started a life with her 2-year-old daughter, Oonagh Paige, she “has new energy and is focused on things that she loves,” as per some outlets.
Death threats and nasty Internet memes had been made against Heard during the trial. A source close to the Aquaman actress claimed, “She just had to get out of the U.S.”
A source told PEOPLE that Amber “felt like a pariah” as she “lost the case and was treated as such“.
The actress, who was residing in Yucca Valley, a village in the Californian desert, walked away from the spotlight after denouncing the ruling as “moving women’s rights backward.”
Heard responded to questions from local reporters on the sidewalk in a video that went viral on TikTok in June by saying in Spanish, “I love Spain so much.” When they asked if she plans on staying, she replied, “Yes, I hope so. Yes, I love living here.”
Amber Heard Promoted Her New Film 1 Year After Johnny Depp Trial
A year after the verdict of her controversial defamation trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp, the Aquaman star presented her new film In the Fire at Italy’s Taormina Film Festival and came across as relaxed and happy. The appearance comes amid speculation that Heard is quitting Hollywood in the wake of the online circus that the lawsuit caused.
“It’s a beautiful movie about the almost supernatural effect and force of love,“ Heard said. “It is about the boundaries that love can cross and its creation, and really about the overwhelming power that love has. I don’t want to sound cheesy about it, but it’s a movie about love.”
In the supernatural thriller, Heard plays a “pioneering psychiatrist who sets out to treat a desperate child at a time when psychiatry is not yet a respected science,” per a press release.
Heard seems to be optimistic about the future and enthused about her upcoming projects, including her return as Mera in the much-awaited Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, despite the trial’s judgment.
