Amber Heard to write a tell-all book after losing defamation case against Johnny Depp. Deets inside
Amber Heard is planning to write a tell-all book as she thinks her career in Hollywood is over and she has nothing to lose.
This came after the actress lost defamation case against her ex-husband. For the uninitiated, Johnny sued his ex-wife Amber for defamation over an op-ed published in the Washington Post in 2018, where she called herself a domestic abuse survivor. However, she did not name Johnny Depp.
AMBER HEARD TO WRITE A TELL-ALL BOOK
After losing the defamation case against her ex-husband Johnny Depp, Amber Heard has been ordered to pay the actor 8.3 million in damages. Other than this, the actress also thinks that her career in Hollywood is over. Hence, she decided to pen a memoir as she feels she has nothing to lose.
During a chat with OK Magazine, an insider revealed the same and said, “Amber considers her career in Hollywood over. She’s already in talks and is excited about it (writing a tell-all book). At this point, she has nothing to lose and wants to tell all.”
Meanwhile, a New York divorce lawyer, Dror Bikel, warned that Johnny Depp’s lawyer will be reading and reviewing everything. Therefore, the actress shouldn’t cross the line. “Depp and his attorneys will be reading and listening to everything that Heard states. “If she crosses the line, which is likely, there is no question that will be hit with another defamation suit and end up right back in court,” said Dror Bikel.
ABOUT THE JOHNNY DEPP AND AMBER HEARD CASE
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard met on the sets of The Rum Diary in 2009 and started dating a few years later. In 2015, they got married. During that time, Johnny Depp was in a long-term relationship with French actress Vanessa Paradis while Amber Heard was dating photographer Tasya Van Ree.
Following the split from their respective former partners, the two began secretly dating in 2011. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard were engaged in 2014. The news became public when a picture emerged of the actress wearing an ornate engagement ring. They finally got married in 2015 in a very private ceremony on Depp’s private island in the Bahamas.
In 2016, Heard filed for divorce and alleged that Depp had physically abused her during their marriage under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Depp denied the accusations and stated that Heard was “attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse.”
Their divorce was finalised in 2017. Johnny Depp later sued Amber Heard for defamation because of an op-ed she wrote in the Washington Post in 2018. A jury, earlier this month, ruled in favour of Johnny Depp. They also ordered Amber Heard to pay $10.35 million in damages.
