Nobel Prize-Winner Annie Ernaux Signs Open Letter In Support Of Amber Heard Alongside French Feminists & Cinema Figures

EXCLUSIVE: I meet Amber Heard in the café of a hotel in Sicily and when she reaches to shake hands, the ice breaker becomes the tan orthopedic brace cradling that wrist.

Amber Heard is moving on career-wise after that Johnny Depp defamation trial.

John Bleasdale Guest Contributor The 69th Taormina Film Festival in Sicily saw the world premiere Saturday of the paranormal psychological thriller “In the Fire,” which marks the return to the big screen of Amber Heard following two highly publicized trials involving her former husband Johnny Depp. On the turquoise carpet (the color was chosen to match the Mediterranean, which serves as a stupendous backdrop), Heard greeted a crowd of fans — accompanied by paparazzi and tourists — who shouted words of encouragement at the “Aquaman” star. The producers and festival organizers had worried about possible demonstrations by Depp supporters. Producer Pascal Borno told Variety he had to persuade the Italian police to provide extra security after receiving online threats. “They took it seriously and afterwards I promised them selfies with Amber,” he said.

Amber Heard has been easing back into official public life gently at Italy’s Taormina Film Festival over the past few days, accompanying the world premiere of her new film In The Fire by Conor Allyn.

Amber Heard relocated to Spain with her 2-year-old daughter, Oonagh, following her defamation trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp — and she’s thriving in the new locale.

Amber Heard has finally ponied up the $1 million she owed ex-husband Johnny Depp after losing a nationally-televised defamation trial in Virginia last year, according to a source close to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor. The six-week courtroom spectacle ended in June 2022 with a $10.35 million judgment against Heard for defaming Depp by penning a 2018 op-ed that referred to herself as a domestic abuse victim.The jury handed Heard $2 million in her countersuit.  Depp, 60, agreed to settle the case last December for $1 million, which was paid this month by the "Aquaman" actress' insurance company.

Johnny Depp is planning to donate a large sum of the settlement from his defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard to multiple charities.Depp sued Heard over a 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post, where she wrote about being a survivor of domestic violence.Come the end of their highly publicised court case last year, Heard was instructed to pay Depp $10million (£8.4m) in compensatory damages and $5million (£4.2m) in punitive damages. Heard was awarded $2million (£1.6m) after the jury found that Depp had defamed her through his attorney.According to The Hollywood Reporter, Depp will donate $1million (£782,000) of the settlement to five different charities, giving $200,000 (£156,000) to each one.

Make-A-Film Foundation Wednesday after the actor made a $200,000 contribution to the organization that grants critically and terminally ill kids the opportunity to make short films and documentaries with actors.The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star is “one of the most generous people we’ve ever worked with,” a representative for the organization told TMZ. According to the news outlet, much of the money will go toward production costs for films with price tags of $25,000 to $35,000 and documentaries that range from $3,000 to $5,000.Depp’s sizable donation comes after he received a $1 million settlement from his ex-wife Amber Heard, 37, after their highly publicized defamation trial last year.

I mean, you have to go away to come back,” Depp said as he rode through Cannes in a car. “I didn’t go nowhere.
