December 8. 2022

Amber Heard burned then husband Johnny Depp with cigarettes, cut off the tip of his finger, and defecated in his bed, but she wants you to know she is the victim and wants another civil trial

Attention seeking Hollywood actress, Amber Heard, is appealing the $15,000,000 verdict regarding damages awarded to her ex-husband in his defamation case. Heard wants a new trial. Despite all the money she siphoned from Depp during their marriage and the funds she obtained in a divorce settlement, Heard is contending she cannot pay the defamation case judgment.

In my opinion Heard just wants another court civil court trial, as it brought in an enormous amount of publicity. In 2022, it was the most searched item in America. Heard received some sympathy from women's groups, albeit misguided, as they don't know what she's really like.
