Amber Heard Reportedly Tipped Off TMZ Employee to Click a Pic of Her Exiting the Courthouse With a Fake Bruise to Use it to Win Johnny Depp Trial
Amber Heard is now one of the most controversial stars in Hollywood. Heard began her career by appearing in music videos. The first video she got featured in was Kenny Chesney’s There My Life. In 2004 the actress appeared in a minor supporting role in the Jack & Bobby television series. Though it wasn’t smooth sailing for her at the beginning of her career in Hollywood, the actress successfully gained the attention of the industry’s heavyweights and worked in several iconic films.
Heard was last married to Hollywood legend Johnny Depp, but fate had other plans for the former couple. After their highly publicized divorce, the actress wrote a controversial op-ed in the Washington Post in 2018, claiming to have suffered domestic violence during her marriage to Depp.
The Edward Scissorhands film star sued Amber Heard in March 2019, stating an op-ed his ex-wife wrote about domestic violence abuse was defamatory and asked for $50m in damages. The Aquaman star filed a $100m countersuit. During their lengthy lawsuit trial, the former pair revealed many shocking details. But the bombshell revelation that a former TMZ employee made in his testimony caught widespread attention
Did Amber Heard Tip Off TMZ Employee For Clicking Her Pics During The Trial?
Amber Heard is again creating headlines, although the actress is now away from the spotlight in Spain after the trial between her and Johnny Depp ended last year. A video from the courtroom of their defamation case is going viral on the Internet in which a former employee of TMZ decided to tell the unvarnished truth.
Morgan Tremaine, a former employee of TMZ, testified in Johnny Depp’s defamation trial against his former wife, Amber Heard, at the Fairfax County Circuit Courthouse on May 25, 2022. Tremaine revealed that while he was an employee in the news organization, he received a tip and asked to dispatch paparazzi to click pictures of Heard exiting the court.
Tremaine told the jury:
“Ms. Heard was filing a restraining order at a courthouse in downtown Los Angeles, so I dispatched camera people to that location. It’s not by any means a celebrity hotspot. We would only ever send people there if we had been tipped off that something was occurring, and there was somebody present there.”
He continued,
“Their objective was to capture her leaving the courthouse, and she was going to sort of stop and turn toward the camera to display the bruise on the right side of her face, the alleged bruise.”
Read some of the tweets as fans react to the video.
