Halftime in the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial. It’s about defamation – and the world’s press is listening. However, Amber Heard does not seem to like the way she is portrayed in the media. She parted ways with her PR agency.
At the moment it seems as if the job of PR consultant for Johnny Depp or Amber Heard is rather thankless and not very popular. Because Hollywood’s ex-dream couple delivers a real mud fight in court. She says he’s prone to physical violence, he says she’s a liar. The trial is expected to last until May 19. Depp is demanding $50 million in damages from his ex-wife and Heard is demanding $100 million from him. The details of the trial are causing an uproar around the world, and Amber Heard doesn’t seem happy about it.
Public relations for the 36-year-old will no longer be carried out by the “Precision Strategies” agency. The actress is said to have now switched to “Shane Communications” in LA, according to the British news portal “Daily Mail”. “Shane Communications,” the PR agency writes on its website, is also an expert in the field of crisis management. They also have very good contacts in the media industry.
Amber Heard is said to be “very frustrated” with the coverage
The reason for the change is said to be the poor global media portrayal of the actors during the trial of their ex-husband. According to the Daily Mail, she is said to be “very frustrated” with the current reporting. Within the defamation trial, bizarre details of the marriage came to light. Among other things, Amber Heard is said to have once defecated in the marriage bed of the two, so Johnny Depp told the jury. Memes and funny pictures about this situation are going through the roof on social media. A mammoth task for a PR team to clean up this image. The change of PR company took place after several days of court testimony from Depp witnesses.
Heard never wanted cameras to be allowed in the courtroom, but Depp’s team pushed for it and won, the Daily Mail reports. The trial at the Fairfax County Courthouse will take place Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Statements from Amber Heard herself are expected this week. According to the BBC, Johnny Depp’s lawyer Camille Vasquez said Amber Heard had always been “obsessed with her reputation.” Vasquez also claims of the actress: “She’s been living that role for years, has internalized the behavior and is now playing the role of her life in court.”
