Hollywood actress Amber Heard has made her first public appearance
since losing her defamation trial against ex-husband Johnny Depp.
A day before the premiere of her new movie ‘In the Fire’, Heard was seen
at the Taormina Film Festival
in Italy last Friday.
Heard was spotted wearing a white T-shirt and matching wrap-around skirt for the event. As per reports,
‘In the Fire’ is a supernatural thriller in which Heard’s character is a
psychiatrist who is “called to solve the case of a disturbed child
following increasingly insistent accusations that the child is
the devil” in the movie.
A Twitter user tweeted a video of Heard’s appearance at the festival and posted “this is bravery and strength you’re seeing in this video. this is
a woman who refused to be broken no matter how hard the world tried
to break her. I can only hope to be half as courageous as amber heard.”
Notably, Amber Heard’s first public appearance comes more than a year after she lost the widely covered defamation trial against Depp.
The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star
had sued Heard for $50 million claiming she defamed him in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed about sexual violence. Depp won the case and his ex-wife Heard was ordered to pay him $10 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages. The jury had awarded Heard $2
million in compensatory damages for her countersuit against Depp.
