Amber Heard is an American actress and model who has a net worth of -$5 million. She got her first breakthrough role in the horror film All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006), and subsequently appeared in more horror films such as The Ward (2010) and Drive Angry (2011). She went on to star in films including Pineapple Express (2008), Never Back Down (2008), The Joneses (2009), Machete Kills (2013), Magic Mike XXL (2015) and The Danish Girl (2016). More recently, she is best known for portraying Mera (in Extended Universe versions of the DC character) in Justice League (2018), Aquaman (2018), and a host of other movies.
In recent years Amber has earned a level of infamy thanks to her association with former husband, Johnny Depp. Though they divorced in 2016, Heard and Depp would go on to spend the next several years fighting in courtrooms and in the press.
Heard married actor Johnny Depp in February 2015. She filed for divorce in May 2016, alleging domestic abuse, and subsequently became involved in two high-profile lawsuits relating to her allegations. She testified in Depp v News Group Newspapers Ltd when Depp sued The Sun for calling him a “wife-beater“; the High Court of Justice rejected Depp’s libel claim, finding her allegations “substantially true”.
After she published an op-ed in The Washington Post, alleging that she had experienced “sexual violence” and “domestic abuse”, Depp sued her for defamation. In Depp v. Heard, a seven-member jury ruled that the op-ed’s allegations were false and defamed Depp under American law, but also found that Depp’s former lawyer defamed Heard by falsely alleging that she “roughed up” a penthouse as part of an “abuse hoax” against Depp. The court awarded Depp and Heard $10.35 million and $2 million respectively.
