It looks like Amber Heard is trying to move on with her life after losing a defamation lawsuit that her ex-husband Johnny Depp filed against her.
We recall that in 2016, the actress filed for divorce, and her lawyers also demanded that a restraining order be issued against the actor, alleging that he abused her physically and verbally. In addition, according to her, he also abused various substances.
Then Depp categorically denied the accusations, but nevertheless agreed to a divorce settlement and the sum of 7 million dollars for Amber to receive. She herself then made it clear that she would provide the money for charity.
In 2019, however, Depp filed a defamation lawsuit against Heard after she wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post a year earlier in which she described herself as a “public figure representing domestic violence.” The ensuing trial, which was streamed live at the actor’s request, revealed shocking details of the former couple’s life, marriage, divorce and finances. Although taking off the saucy shirts threatened both of their reputations and careers, Depp was able to get a lot out of the case – in addition to winning all three defamation claims against Heard, the jury awarded him $10 million in damages. Heard was awarded $2 million for her counterclaim against the on-screen Pirate of the Caribbean. However, she incurred a lot of negativity during the process, which undoubtedly affected her life in the future.

Where is Amber today? After leaving California, the actress sold her house for 1 million dollars and together with her daughter Una (born from a surrogate mother) moved to live in Europe. According to her relatives, she no longer felt good in America and preferred to live in a more peaceful place. So at first she moved to a house in Majorca, where she ventured not under her real name, but as Martha Jane Canary. After the noise around her died down, she moved to Madrid. “There, Amber can be a mother and focus on raising her daughter. He spends every day with the little girl, they walk in the park and enjoy the time they spend together. Amber is a great mom.” shares a friend of the actress. According to him, she had already shaken off the mental tension surrounding the case and was already ready to film.
Despite numerous calls from Depp’s fans for his ex-wife to be removed from the second part of the movie “Aquaman”, she and her character will still appear on the screens this December. However, Amber’s role was already much smaller. The actress herself shared that she fought hard to stay in the project and is disappointed that she will not be side by side with Jason Momoa again throughout the film.
Amber also keeps a secret about what new projects she is working on. So far, she has appeared at only one film festival, in May 2023 in Taormina, where she presented her independent film “In The Fire”. In it, she plays a psychiatrist who goes to Colombia to treat a little boy who is believed to be possessed by the devil. The film was shot before the start of her legal battle with Johnny Depp.
