Controversy and Affairs of Amber Heard
Heard has been involved in several controversies and affairs throughout her career. In 2009, she came out as bisexual at the GLAAD Media Awards, where she attended with her then-girlfriend, Tasya van Ree. She later said that she did not want to be labeled by her sexuality, and that she had loved both men and women.
In 2016, she filed for divorce from Johnny Depp, and obtained a temporary restraining order against him, alleging that he had physically and verbally abused her during their marriage. She also released photos and videos of her injuries and of Depp’s violent behavior. Depp denied the allegations, and accused Heard of being the abusive one, and of having affairs with other people. He also claimed that she had defecated on their bed as a prank. The divorce was finalized in 2017, with a $7 million settlement, which Heard said she would donate to charity.
In 2018, Heard wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post, in which she spoke about her experience as a survivor of domestic abuse, and the backlash she faced from the public and the media. She did not mention Depp by name, but implied that he was the abuser. Depp sued Heard for defamation, seeking $50 million in damages, and claiming that her op-ed was part of a hoax to advance her career. He also alleged that she had not donated the settlement money, as she had promised.
In 2020, the trial of Depp v. The Sun, a libel case brought by Depp against the British tabloid for calling him a "wife beater", took place in London. Heard testified as a witness for The Sun, and repeated her allegations of abuse against Depp. Depp also presented evidence of Heard’s alleged abuse against him, and of her affairs with other celebrities, such as James Franco and Elon Musk. The court ruled in favor of The Sun, finding that the term "wife beater" was "substantially true". Depp appealed the verdict, but was denied.
In 2021, the trial of Depp v. Heard, the defamation case brought by Depp against Heard in Virginia, was postponed to 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The case is expected to be one of the most expensive and explosive celebrity lawsuits in history, with both parties presenting new evidence and witnesses to support their claims.
