Amber Heard is said to have suffered great economic damage from her marriage to Johnny Depp and the legal consequences. A former Hollywood producer testifies about Heard’s financial losses.
For many years, Amber Heard and her ex-husband Johnny Depp have been arguing, sometimes more or less publicly, about the content of their long-ago marriage and what has become known from it. The actor is currently suing his ex-wife for $50 million in damages over an interview he conducted in 2018. But one of the witnesses, a former American film industry producer named Kathryn Arnold, is now testifying that Amber Heard has died over the argument with her ex Man alone is said to have lost around 50 million dollars in salary.
Other actors have passed Amber Heard career-wise
On the witness stand Monday, Arnold detailed Amber Heard’s career path, comparing her career since her breakthrough to contemporaries like Momoa, Zendaya, Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. The actors mentioned have all had remarkable careers in Hollywood over the past few years, only Heard has fallen by the wayside. She even almost lost her role in Aquaman 2. Arnold blames Johnny Depp and the former couple’s ongoing conflict.
Kathryn Arnold is now a consultant and entertainment industry expert. As a former producer, she has a lot of expertise and industry insiders, so she rated Depp’s claims for damages against Heard as a “joke” and then unpacked how bad the damage to Amber Heard is supposed to be. The first part of “Aquaman” should be a springboard for the young actress. But in the second part she should hardly participate anymore. Heard is said to have only kept her role because Jason Momoa, Heard’s co-star, and the film’s director, James Wan, “felt a commitment to her” and “strongly believed she would do the movie well,” Arnold claimed.
According to the witness, the first draft of “Aquaman 2” had “a strong romantic plot throughout the film and some great action sequences” for Amber Heard’s character Mera. She trained five hours a day for several months to be able to act the sequence herself, but when she arrived on set, a costume designer told her that her role had been “shortened”. The action sequence was cut and her role was radically reduced, Arnold said.
Heard was also unable to improve on the salary negotiations for the second part compared to the first part. Due to the situation, she is said to have been happy that she still had a job and earned two million euros, as in the first part. Jason Momoa, on the other hand, was able to grow from around three to fifteen million dollars. According to Arnold, Heard should have been able to renegotiate her fee up to $6 million were it not for the negative reputation of the escalating marriage to Johnny Depp.
This is how Arnold analyzes Heard’s financial loss
According to the consultant, Heard’s losses have ranged from $45 million to $50 million, and she analyzed that number as follows: Over a period of about five years, Heard would have typically made at least $4 million per film. That would be about $20 million. Also, Heard could have continued her deal with L’Oreal, which netted her $1.5 million, for a total of $8 million. In addition, there would have been TV deals, such as her last such production “The Stand”, where she earned $ 1.8 million for nine episodes. Arnold then said that the estimated total loss to Heard’s defamation was between $45 million and $50 million, blaming it on Depp and his 2020 defamation lawsuit.
