Heard Takes Drastic Measures To Pay Off Her Debt

It’s been nearly a month since Johnny Depp won his defamation suit against Amber Heard. While Depp is enjoying his victory, Heard is still one of the most hated people on the internet.

That doesn’t look too promising for the future of Amber’s acting career — and that’s unfortunate for her as she appears to be in dire straits financially.

On June 1, Depp was awarded $15 million in damages by a seven-person jury in Virginia.

That amount was reduced to $10.35 million due to the state’s cap on punitive damages.

Heard was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages which still leaves her owing $8.35 million to Depp.

Heard’s lawyer said in a recent interview that the actress cannot afford to pay what she owes.

Even though Amber plans to appeal the verdict, it seems as if she’s taking steps to be able to bring down her debt to Depp.

A source close to Heard said the actress has decided to sell the Tesla Model X that she received as a gift from Elon Musk.

Depp alleged that Heard cheated on him with Musk, and while that has not yet been confirmed, Amber and Elon definitely dated, going public with their relationship shortly after her split from Depp.

Musk has been supportive of Heard — there are, after all, advantages to dating the wealthiest man on the planet.

Sources say Musk gave millions to cover Heard after she promised to donate her entire divorce settlement to charity.

It seems as though, he’s continuing to support Heard as she faces the biggest financial obstacle of her life.

The car is valued at $130,000 new, and industry experts say Heard should be able to sell it for six figures.

It’s only a drop in the bucket compared to what she owes Depp, but the sale will likely allow her to make her initial payments to her ex-husband.

And that might give Amber a little time to plan her next move.

The years ahead are likely to be difficult ones for Heard, as she attempts to dig herself out of a deep financial hole and salvage whatever remains of her career and reputation.

A successful appeal would go a long way for the actress in both respects, but the odds are against her, and it seems that she’s not waiting for the justice system to come to her rescue.

In all likelihood, the Depp v. Heard verdict will continue to be a hot topic for years to come.
