Actress Amber Heard is said to have fired her entire public relations team and replaced them with a new one. According to reports, the actress took the drastic step because she was ‘upset’ by the headlines surrounding her defamation trial against ex-husband Johnny Depp. The high-profile defamation lawsuit has been ongoing on the outskirts of Washington, DC, since April 11.
Sources tell the New York Post that Amber Heard has hired a new PR firm. She is being sued by Johnny Depp for $50 million for defamation over an op-ed piece she wrote about surviving domestic abuse. The actor claims that the piece damaged his film career and reputation.
Johnny has already testified in the trial, which has been going on for three weeks. Johnny claimed in his testimony that he was the one who was abused by Amber, not the other way around. Amber is scheduled to testify in a few days.
Johnny lost a libel case against The Sun, a British tabloid, for labelling him a “wife-beater” less than two years ago, and the American trial comes less than two years after he lost a libel case against The Sun, a British tabloid, for labelling him a “wife-beater.” Amber was repeatedly assaulted and put in fear of her life, according to a London High Court judge.
Johnny and Amber met on the set of The Rum Diary, a Hunter S. Thompson novel adapted into a film. They married in 2015, but only lasted a year before filing for divorce. In 2017, their divorce was finalised.
