The ex-couple had been at each other’s throats since their high-profile marriage and divorce hit the headlines.
For his part, Depp stayed relatively quiet that is, until he took the stand.
Both Amber and Whitney had aspirations to work in the entertainment industry, but only Amber made it big.
“I was born in South Central Texas by the accidental geography of miles,” Amber said.
“I didn’t have those arms on me, but I saw that they were there.”
“Why is it my burden what a boy might be distracted by?
Why is it not incumbent on our young men to be taught to behave?
It resonated with me.”
My dad is out of central casting Texan.
Good Southern man, and I was raised in a religious home …
They didn’t know how to process it."
In an interview withGlamour, the actor recounted how she started on the beauty pageant circuit as a teenager.
“Pageants are weird,” Heard later reflected while chatting with Glamour.
“I can’t support the objectification.”
But don’t think that Heard was all glitz and glam.
Unsurprisingly, he wasn’t said to be a fan of the pageant circuit.
“I was his hunting and fishing buddy,” Heard said of her dad.
I spotted a little patch of grass, and I leapt.
It didn’t just take the look on my dad’s face to put me back in the saddle.
But that helped."
Amber turned to atheism after enduring a tragedy
Some moments in life mark distinct turning points.
She was just 16 at the time, and the soon-to-be high school dropout was never the same.
“My very best friend died in a car accident when I was 16 years old.
“Suddenly, you realize tomorrow might not come.
Now I live by the motto, ‘Today is what I have.'”
“I’ve read all of her books,” Heard said of Rand.
“Ever since then, I have been obsessed with her ideals.
All I’ve ever needed is myself.”
Heard’s early days in Los Angeles, however, were anything but glamorous.
“I would go around, a lot of times by city bus.
I’d sit toward the back and change underneath my jacket.”
“Guests relaxed on the beaches, had fun snorkeling, and enjoyed food cooked by private chefs.
Everyone seemed to have the best time.
It was a very celebratory vibe.”
But just a short 15 months later, the two called it quits, and Heard filed divorce papers.
“Hopefully the dissolution of this short marriage will be resolved quickly.”
As we all know, that did not happen.
The piece ultimately became the center of the court battle that millions tuned in to watch unfold.
Her daughter, Oonagh, was born via surrogate on April 8, 2021.
The actor took toInstagramto explain why her journey to motherhood might have seemed rather unconventional.
“I wanted to do it on my own terms.
Her name is Oonagh Paige Heard.
She’s the beginning of the rest of my life.”
The jury was unanimous in its decision, presenting a rather public blow to Heard, perNBC News.
“The crying, the facial expressions that she had, the staring at the jury.
All of us were very uncomfortable,” a juror toldVarietyof Heard after the fact.
Some of us used the expression ‘crocodile tears.'”
“He just seemed a little more real in terms of how he was responding to questions.
His emotional state was very stable throughout,” the juror explained.
It seemed thatsociety as a whole was also taking Depp’s side.
What does Amber Heard’s life look like now?
This Court is bound by the competent decision of the jury."
She has been silent on social media since her court battle with Depp came to an end.
