Amber Heard Planning Hollywood Comeback After Ugly Legal Drama With Ex Johnny Depp? Report Makes Shocking Claims

Amber Heard is reportedly eager to return to Hollywood but is finding it difficult as the industry continues to favor her ex-husband, Johnny Depp. The 39-year-old Rum Diary actress has been living in Spain since her legal defeat in 2022, when Depp, 61, won a defamation lawsuit against her.

The ex-couple later settled the case, with Heard agreeing to pay Depp 1 million USD, which he donated to charity. Despite reinventing her life in Spain, reports claim that she is determined to return to acting but on her own terms. She reportedly wants to take on a producer role similar to Depp’s and has been making pitches across the industry. “She wants to make a splashy comeback, and she’s raising eyebrows at the same time because she insists on calling the shots and being a producer like Johnny has been. …
