Hollywood star and ex-wife of Johnny Depp, Amber Heard has shed some light on feeling ‘overwhelming fearful’ after losing the defamation trial to her former husband.
Heard made this admission in her interview on a show during which she started by with a quip, admitting, “Of course, I took for granted what I assume was my right to speak.”
Heard also said that he was scared that no matter what he does, no matter what she says or how she says it. “Every step that I take will present another opportunity for the sort of silencing,” he maintained.
A spokesperson for Amber Heard has denied reports that the actress has been cut from the Aquaman sequel, in the aftermath of the very public defamation trial.
Heard was set to reprise her role as Mera, Aquaman’s love interest, in the upcoming film Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. However, on Tuesday, a source said that the role had been recast.
“Warner Bros. decided to recast Amber Heard’s role after screen testing the movie. They are going to be doing reshoots with Jason Momoa and Nicole Kidman,” they said. However, a statement released earlier this week by a spokesperson recalled: “The rumour mill continues as it has from day one – inaccurate, insensitive and slightly insane.”
Heard previously played Mera in the first Aquaman movie in 2018 and in Justice League. During the defamation trial, Heard alleged she had to ‘fight really hard’ to keep the role, due to the negative publicity from Depp’s abuse allegations against her.
