When Johnny Depp got his much anticipated verdict against Amber Heard in his defamation trial in 2022, it officially marked the end of the #metoo movement.
After much back and forth in the courtroom, and Heard giving tearful pleas while Depp sat stone faced, the truth finally emerged and the jury awarded $15 million to Depp, which was later reduced to $10.35 million due to Virginia law.
Meanwhile Heard received a paltry-by-comparison amount of $2 million from her countersuit. It was a clear and resounding victory for Depp, and a stunning loss for Heard and for the entire #metoo movement.
Since then, Depp has faded into the ether until his triumphant return at the Cannes Film Festival a few weeks ago, where he received a seven-minute standing ovation after the screening of his new film “Jeanne du Barry.”
As for Amber Heard? Well, she was spotted shopping at a TJ Maxx in the Hamptons shortly after the verdict, leading many to assume she is broke. At least as broke as one can be living in the Hamptons.
Recently, the disgraced “Aquaman” star was spotted outside of her new home is Spain. That doesn’t sound like broke. Apparently Heard has landed on her feet and is living in Madrid with her daughter and loving it, according to sources.
A TikTok video showed Heard answering questions about her new life. The TikToker, named @casaenplaya managed to ask a serious of questions, and the often salty Heard can be heard graciously answering in the video below.
He asked: “How is your new life here in Madrid?”
To which she politely answered in Spanish: “I love Spain so much. I love living here.”
Since Heard seemed to be in a good mood, the cameraman pressed his luck with his next series of questions. Heard is known to be famously short with the paparazzi.

He asked: “Do you have film projects?” Heard replied with: “Oh yeah.”
The next question the TikTok paparazzi decided to take his life into his own hands. He asked: “Are you going to be at the Cannes Festival?” in an obvious attempt to get her to talk about Depp.
A younger, more bitter Heard might have snapped on the paparazzi. Apparently Amber has learned how to somewhat tame her famous temper.
She calmly answered: “I move on; that’s life. Ciao.” With that, she was gone, back inside her Madrid home.
Heard has reportedly retired from Hollywood after her embarrassing, highly public trial and subsequent loss. There were lots of cringe details that Heard was alleged to have said and done, so disappearing was probably her best decision.
According to sources close to her, she is happy living in Madrid, where she can blend in without much attention and just attempt to live a normal life with her daughter.
Eventually, when the trial and embarrassing details fade from the public zeitgeist, Heard will probably be back. Hard to say if anyone really wants her back, but people forget quickly and actually sometimes even forgive, even if Johnny Depp doesn’t.
