Amber Laura Heard (born April 22, 1986) is an American actress known for her roles in the films All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006), Pineapple Express (2008), Never Back Down (2008), Drive Angry (2011), The Rum Diary (2011), Paranoia (2013), Machete Kills (2013), Syrup (2013), 3 Days to Kill (2014), Magic Mike XXL (2015), The Adderall Diaries (2015), London Fields (2018), and for portraying Mera (in Extended Universe versions of the DC character) in Justice League (2018), Aquaman (2018), and the forthcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023). She has also acted in television series such as Hidden Palms (2007), The Playboy Club (2011), and The Stand (2020). Heard was married to actor Johnny Depp from 2015 to 2017. Their divorce drew media attention when Heard alleged that Depp had been abusive throughout their relationship and pledged the proceeds of her settlement to charity. In 2018 and 2020, Heard stated that she had donated the entire $7 million settlement to charity; in 2022, she acknowledged she had yet to fully do so, citing legal costs, but still intended to fulfill her pledge. In 2018, Depp filed a lawsuit against the publishers of British tabloid The Sun for libel over an article that asked, "How can JK Rowling be 'genuinely happy' casting Johnny Depp in the [then] new Fantastic Beasts film after assault claim?"[3] (The online version of the article temporarily[a] had a title that described "wife beater Johnny Depp"). In 2018, Heard wrote, with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), an op-ed published in Heard's name by The Washington Post under a title stating, "I spoke up against sexual violence" with text stating, "two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse."[5][6][7] Heard followed her tweet about the published article with a tweet announcing her appointment as an ACLU ambassador for women's rights.[8][9] Heard has also been appointed as a Human Rights Champion for the United Nations' Human Rights Office.[10] In 2019, Depp filed a defamation lawsuit against Heard in relation to the 2018 op-ed. In 2020, Heard filed a counterclaim inclusive of a claim of defamation originally over statements made by Depp as well as by his lawyer Adam Waldman.[11] In 2020, Heard testified as witness in the Depp v News Group Newspapers Ltd trial from which the judge "found that the great majority of alleged assaults of Ms Heard by Mr Depp have been proved to the civil standard."[12] In 2022 the Depp v. Heard trial came to court in Fairfax County,[b] Virginia where the jury found that Heard defamed Depp with the op-ed's references to "sexual violence" and "domestic abuse", and that Waldman defamed Heard in alleging she "roughed up" their penthouse as part of a "hoax" but that Waldman's "sexual violence hoax" and "abuse hoax" allegations had not been proven defamatory.[13] The court awarded Depp and Heard US$10.35 million and US$2 million respectively from each other.
