Amber Heard ‘fires her PR team after becoming frustrated by bad headlines’
Hollywood: Amber Heard has fired her PR team and switched to a new firm after she became frustrated following a week of ‘bad headlines’ during a bombshell defamation trial brought by ex-husband Johnny Depp, a new report claims.
Heard was being represented by Precision Strategies, which she reportedly suddenly ditched in favor of LA-based consulting firm Shane Communications.
She made the move in apparent hopes she might receive more favorable coverage this week during which time she is expected to take to the stand and testify.
‘She doesn’t like bad headlines,’ an unnamed source told the New York Post, which first reported the news.
Another source told the newspaper Heard, 36, is ‘frustrated with her story not being told effectively.’
The A-list trial in Virginia, which started on April 11 and is set to last another three weeks, has so far seen Depp, 58, claim he was the victim of domestic abuse during his four days of testimony.
His bodyguard described in detail the wounds on the actor’s face allegedly sustained during a confrontation with Heard.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star is suing Heard for $50 million, claiming she defamed him and ruined his career after a 2018 Washington Post article in which she described herself as a ‘public figure representing domestic abuse’, without naming her exhusband.
Heard is countersuing for $100million, and after three weeks of sitting silently in the courtroom during Depp’s testimony, she is preparing to start her fight back, possibly as soon as Wednesday.
