Experts Say ‘No Way Back for Amber Heard in Hollywood’: Looking at Career End, Bankruptcy

After a jury in Northern Virginia found that Amber Heard had in fact defamed her ex-husband Johnny Depp, a few experts are saying her career could well be done in Hollywood.

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor on Wednesday won big across the board after a six-week trial in which the actor had sued the actress for $50 million, while she countersued for $100 million. In the end, Heard was left with an $8.35 million bill to Depp, a ruling she has vowed to appeal.

Depp was effectively awarded $10.35 million for his suit, while Heard was awarded $2 million for hers.

“Experts have suggested that there is ‘no way back for Heard in Hollywood’ adding that the dramatic six-week court battle has left the actress, 36, ‘too icky for a studio,’ raising questions about her career and future earnings,” the Daily Mail reported.

Heard’s problems may widen well beyond her Hollywood career.

“Hollywood bosses are unlikely to consider her for roles going forward. Financially, the actress and witnesses alluded to her money troubles, while the huge outpouring of support for Depp may lead to brands and companies avoiding her,” the Mail wrote.

In addition, Heard’s assets may come into play, which include a $570,000 hideaway in Yucca Valley, as well as a Range Rover she got in the divorce, according to The Daily Mail.

Then again, Heard reportedly has 30 years to pay off her debt, and there are some other scenarios in which she may not have to pay at all.
