6 december 2024 в 02:37
Actress Amber Heard is certainly no stranger to the spotlight. Starting her career in Hollywood with small roles in shows like «The O.C». and making her film debut in «Friday Night Lights», - her high-profile relationships have been in the headlines as often as her career successes, including her marriage and subsequent defamation lawsuit from her ex-husband Johnny Depp. The star of films like «Zombieland» and «Pineapple Express» came out as bisexual in 2010 and has been linked to stars like Cara Delevingne, Elon Musk, and others. Read on for the full story of her dating history.
Amber’s first high-profile relationship was with artist and photographer Tasya Van Ree. The pair dated from 2008 to 2012, and while they were together, Amber came out as bisexual. At the 2010 GLAAD 25th Anniversary, she said, «I don’t label myself one way or another — I’ve had successful relationships with men and now a woman. I love who I love; it’s the person that matters». When asked why she decided to come out officially, Amber said she wanted to use her platform and fame to be a positive role model. «I think when I realized my role in the media, I had to ask myself an important question: 'Am I part of the problem?' And I think when millions and millions of hard-working, tax-paying Americans are denied their rights and equality, you have to ask yourself what factors are an epidemic problem, and that’s what it is». Tasya, who became known for her black-and-white celebrity photographs, eventually split from Amber, but not before getting her name tattooed on her body!
Amber and Johnny Depp first met on the set of the 2011 film «The Rum Diary» and later married in 2015. The «Justice League» actress filed for divorce two years later, but that was just the beginning of what became a years-long legal saga. Amber obtained a temporary restraining order against her ex in 2016, accusing him of physical and verbal abuse during their relationship. After their divorce was finalized, they released a joint statement saying their «relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love. Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm». In 2019, the actor sued Amber for defamation after she wrote an article in The Washington Post about leaving abusive relationships.
After a court case in the UK in 2020, Johnny sued Amber for $ 50 million for defamation, claiming her article damaged his reputation and cost him movie deals. Amber countersued for $ 100 million. The couple went through a 6-week trial where their relationship was scrutinized, including both sides where the other acted aggressively towards them. The jury found that Amber defamed Johnny and ordered her to pay him over $ 10 million in compensation. It was also determined that statements made by his lawyer, Adam Waldman, defamed her, and she was awarded $ 2 million.
After the trial, Amber released a statement saying she was «devastated» by the verdict. «The disappointment I feel today is immeasurable. My heart is broken that evidence was not enough to withstand the disproportionate power, influence, and resources of my ex-husband», - she said.
Amber began dating tech billionaire Elon Musk in 2017, and the couple was in a relationship for almost a year. They spent a lot of time together while Amber was filming in Australia amidst her messy divorce. In the 2020 court case involving Johnny Depp, text messages sent on May 22, 2016 between Amber and Elon were read. The message came the day after an alleged domestic violence incident involving Johnny, and Amber told Elon she wanted a restraining order against her ex-husband. In the texts, Elon offered her «24/7 security», - adding, «The offer would stand, even if you never want to see me again… in any case, sorry for being…»
