Amber Heard Grateful For Fan Support Upon Social Media Return

by

Actress Amber Heard has been extremely quiet since the massive blowback from her defamation trial with actor and ex-husband Johnny Depp. Both were found responsible for hurting each other, and ever since the trial, Heard has been lambasted for her performance during the spectacle. However, she is now ready to get back out into the public discourse. She went to the Taormina Film Festival in Sicily, Italy, to promote her latest film. Then, she went on to Twitter to thank her fans and supporters after what she claimed was an “unforgettable weekend.”

Amber Heard is definitely trying to put the whole trial ordeal behind her, even though some people still believe she was the one who set the whole thing up for fame purposes. But with a new film out, perhaps she can turn over a new leaf. In The Fire is directed by Conor Allyn and stars Heard as a doctor from New York in the 1890s. In the movie, she travels to a remote plantation where she tries to care for a disturbed boy with strange abilities. She tussles with the local priest, who’s convinced the Devil resides within the boy. Fans came to support Heard and her latest project, to which she was immensely grateful.

The defamation trial in 2021 really put a dent in both Amber Heard and Johnny Depp’s careers. While both of them were making interesting acting choices at the time, their personal lives overshadowed any work they might have done. Luckily, with the case being old news, both Heard and Depp can move on and get back to doing what they like to do: act. Other than In The Fire, Heard also stars in the upcoming sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Alongside Jason Momoa, she returns to the deep blue for DC’s latest film in the franchise. Aquaman will come out later this year.

Surrounded by fans and paparazzi, Heard was appreciative of the reception she had at the Sicilian festival. “Thank you to all of my fans and supporters,” she wrote in a Tweet. “I am so touched.” It’s been a difficult road for Amber, but these upcoming projects are a godsend. They give here the chance to show herself in a completely different light.

Johnny Depp Snags Historic $20 Million Deal With Dior

by

Johnny Depp is reportedly set to make history with a new three-year deal with Dior, according to Variety and Complex. The deal, which is said to be worth more than $20 million, will extend Depp’s longstanding partnership with the brand. A source close to the situation has confirmed the details of the deal with Complex. The brand was one of the few who stood with Johnny Depp throughout the allegations made by his ex-wife.

The reported value of the deal surpasses Robert Pattinson’s estimated $12 million deal with Dior Homme. Pattinson had previously held the record for the biggest deal with a fragrance. However, with Depp’s deal reportedly being upwards of $20 million, it is now the biggest men’s fragrance deal ever made. When approached for comment by Complex, a representative for Depp declined to comment. Apparently, Complex has reached out to a Dior representative for comment. While it does not appear set in stone just yet, it is a huge step forward for Depp in regaining control of his career and public image.

Johnny Depp’s Disastrous Divorce

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard were in a highly publicized and contentious relationship that ended in divorce. In 2020, Depp sued the British newspaper The Sun for libel over a 2018 article that referred to him as a “wife-beater.” A British court ruled in Depp’s favor, stating that the newspaper had not proven its allegations to be substantially true. However, Heard maintained her allegations and spoke publicly about her experiences. The case garnered widespread media attention and led to a lot of discussion about domestic abuse and the role of the media in reporting on such cases. Last year, the drama reached a head in a new lawsuit that took place stateside.

In 2022, Johnny Depp won a libel lawsuit against his former partner Amber Heard. The case received a lot of media attention. In the end, both sides contested related judgments in two appeals that have since been settled. After the trial, Depp made several high-profile public appearances, including a guest appearance in Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4. Despite some criticism of his resurgence in the aftermath of the Heard case, there are no signs that Depp’s public appearances are slowing down. He is set to lead the film Jeanne du Barry, which will open the 2023 Cannes Film Festival this month.
