A recently published book, "Hollywood Vampires: Johnny Depp, Amber Heard, and the Exploitation Machine of Celebrities," sheds new light on the high-profile defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. The book, written by Kelly Loudenberg and Makiko Wholey, features insights from a former juror, Tom Nugen.
Nugen revealed that the two female jurors were "harder on Amber than the men." He added that the jury did not believe much of what Heard said, citing numerous "holes" and "inconsistencies" in her testimony. The trial, which took place in 2022, continues to generate public interest.
Since the trial, both actors have moved forward in their lives. Amber Heard has relocated to Spain and is focusing on her family and career. Johnny Depp has resumed his acting career, starring in the French film "Jeanne du Barry" and planning to direct a film titled "Modi."
The book has been adapted into a three-part documentary series that premiered on Channel 4 in the UK in May 2023 and is available on Netflix since August 2023. The documentary presents testimonies from Depp and Heard side-by-side, providing a unique perspective on the trial and its repercussions.
Three years after the trial, both Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have resumed their professional and personal lives, while still remaining subjects of public and media discussion.
