WTF Happened to Amber Heard?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock the last few months, you’ve probably had your fill of the name Amber Heard. The court case between her and ex-husband Johnny Depp played out in all of its Livestream infamy recently and ended with a decisive victory by team Depp. In many ways, the disgraced star was redeemed in the public eye when a jury found Heard defamed him in an op-ed about being a survivor of “sexual violence” and “domestic abuse.” As revealed in the trial, the facts behind their relationship and Heard’s allegations of abuse were far from black & white, showing that Depp himself was also a victim of domestic abuse at her hands. Perhaps the most surprising development was the social media reaction, which was mainly in Depp’s favor. This was a far cry from when Heard made the abuse allegations several years ago, at the height of MeToo, when many took her side.

In the end, Depp’s persona has rebounded, and many expect him to one day make a successful movie comeback, while Heard’s career is in tatters. Her reputation is in the gutter now, and many wonder whether or not she will ever work again, especially now that it’s been revealed that her Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom role has been dramatically reduced. In this episode of WTF Happened To This Celebrity we look at Heard’s rise and fall and whether or not there’s a way forward for the controversial actress.

This episode of is written (with Brad Hamerly), produced, edited and narrated by Taylor James Johnson. Watch last week’s episode below and let us know if you think Heard will ever work again in the comments!
