Heard was getting irritated with the coverage she's been getting since the defamation trial began, according to a source who spoke to the New York Post. Another source explained that Heard was not happy about her negative media portrayal.
Johnny Depp has filed a $50 million lawsuit against Amber. Thereby, alleging that her article about surviving domestic abuse in 2018 defamed him. Furthermore, he claimed that it ruined his career and reputation in the film industry. Johnny lost the lead role in the Fantastic Beasts series owing to the word spread around about domestic violence. Amber's lawyers argue that it isn't defamation because Amber didn't mention Johnny in the post. She wrote it for the greater good.
