Amber heard

She described how during a weekend away with friends in May 2013, Depp tore her dress, ripped off her underwear and stuck his fingers “inside” her. “He proceeds to do a cavity search,” she said. “He’s looking for his drugs, his cocaine.” Earlier in the hearing, the psychologist Dawn Hughes testified that Heard told her Depp had put his fingers up her vagina to search for cocaine. At one point in their relationship, Heard also alleged during her witness statement that Depp held her by the neck and warned he could “kill me”. Read more Speaking at the hearing, she said: “I struggle to find the words to describe how painful this is … this is horrible for me to sit here for weeks and relive everything, to hear people that I knew, some well, some not, my ex-husband with whom I shared a life, speak about our lives in the way they have.” She added: “This has been one of the most painful and difficult things I’ve ever gone through, for sure.” Heard described typical activities from her upbringing in Texas, ranging from breaking in horses to working at her father’s construction company, where she answered phones, then working at a modelling agency, where she earned enough to have professional photographs taken, and her move to Hollywood. “I went from slightly bigger role to slightly bigger role, and worked my butt off,” Heard said. She had met Depp when she auditioned for Bruce Robinson’s The Rum Diary. “I was the dream kid, that’s what he told me,” Heard testified. During filming i...

On November 23, Amber Heard, by way of her latest legal team at Ballard Spahr, filed her brief to appeal the verdict in her ex-husband Johnny Depp’s defamation case against her. After the trial, a six-week public spectacle streamed from a Fairfax County, Virginia, courtroom from April to June, a jury found Heard responsible for three counts of defamation and awarded more than $10 million in damages to Depp. Heard hired a new firm post-trial, and the team is now led by First Amendment stars Jay Ward Brown and David L. Axelrod. The opening brief lays out several grounds for appeal in Judge Penney Azcarate’s proceedings, and these indeed include First Amendment arguments. The Washington Post op-ed that Depp sued Heard over, “The trial court also erred in overruling The appeal also argues that the trial should have never moved forward in the first place. The court in Virginia was not the appropriate forum to hold the trial since the claims had no real connection to the state and neither party had spent any significant time there, it argues. (Depp’s camp successfully previously argued that because The Washington Post was published in Virginia, the case fell within that jurisdiction. The Post was not implicated in the case.) Additionally, the brief states that since a judge in London’s High Court had found more than 10 of Heard’s accusations about Depp’s domestic abuse to be “substantially true,” the American trial should not have had to move forward. (Depp sued the publisher of...

An official synopsis for the movie available on the festival's website says that In The Fire follows a widowed American psychiatrist who "arrives in a rich farm in Colombia after being called to solve the case of a disturbed child," whose mother is concerned by a local priest's accusation that the child is possessed by the devil.

But the letter was met with anger from Depp fans, some of whom flooded the organizers’ Instagram account with disparaging comments. Just hours after the account went live when the letter published on Wednesday, it was suspended for almost a day, highlighting the backlash survivors face when confronting online harassment, Michele Dauber, a Stanford Law School professor and longtime advocate for victims of sexual assault, told The Washington Post. “This is a letter about the online vitriol and public shaming that Amber Heard experienced as a result of coming forward with allegations of abuse,” said Dauber, who signed the letter. “And it is also about the online attacks against anyone who supported her. It has nothing to do with the trial’s verdict.” The @letterforamber Instagram account received an onslaught of angry comments — some laced with profanity and decrying Heard as a liar and an abuser, according to screenshots obtained by The Post. The account thus chose to turn off and delete comments that were “so vile and so harassing that it was upsetting other survivors,” Dauber said. Soon after, the account was taken down when users began reporting it. Dauber is among the activists, academics, advocacy groups and other organizations to sign the letter defending Heard. It was also signed by actress Constance Wu, feminist icon Gloria Steinem, the National Organization for Women, the Women’s March Foundation and Equality Now. Published some five months after the jury reached it...

EXCLUSIVE: In what will be her first film promotion appearance in a good long time, th In The Fire. Heard will be in Sicily along with the film’s director Conor Allyn and co-star Eduardo Noriego. The film will premiere June 24 at the Teatro Antico di Taorina. The fest takes place June 23-July 1, 2023 in Sicily.
