Amber Heard Says She Was Dropped from Jobs After Making Johnny Depp Allegations

Amber Heardis opening up about the backlash she received after makingallegations of abuseagainst ex-husbandJohnny Depp.

In an op-ed written for theWashington Postand published on Tuesday, theAquamanactress wrote she “felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out” against domestic violence.

“Friends and advisers told me I would never again work as an actress — that I would be blacklisted. A movie I was attached to recast my role,” the 32-year-old shared. “I had just shot a two-year campaign as the face of a global fashion brand, and the company dropped me.”

Heard continued, “Questions arose as to whether I would be able to keep my role of Mera in the moviesJustice LeagueandAquaman.”

Depp, 55, hasvehemently deniedall abuse allegations, calling the claims “salacious false stories, gossip, misinformation, and lies.”

The actress alleged coming forward with her claims caused her to receive death threats.

She continued, “Tabloid outlets that posted pictures of me spun them in a negative light. I felt as though I was on trial in the court of public opinion — and my life and livelihood depended on myriad judgments far beyond my control.”

Her purpose in writing the op-ed, she wrote, was to “ensure that women who come forward to talk about violence receive more support.”

“We are electing representatives who know how deeply we care about these issues,” Heard added. “We can work together to demand changes to laws and rules and social norms — and to right the imbalances that have shaped our lives.”

Depp and Heard married in 2015 andfinalized their divorcein early 2017.
