The parable of Amber Heard, from the media trial to escaping Hollywood

by Chiara Maffioletti

The actress moved to a small town in Palma de Mallorca, where she leads a simple life. But there are those who believe they are just preparing for a new lawsuit

A famous Spanish proverb says: Al mal tiempo, buena cara. Translated: Make a nice face even in difficult times. And for Amber Heard, 36, the last few times were very tough: In June, after a six-week trial that also (mainly?) was in the media, the actress was sentenced to pay compensation for her ex-husband Johnny Depp. who now owes about $15 million. The allegation, among other unofficial ones, to have ruined the star’s career appeared in a 2018 Washington Post editorial in which Heard did not give his name but spoke about his experiences with abuse and domestic violence. Times were tough, it said, and the actress was forced to sell her California home and file for bankruptcy. However, the actress, who has been caught by the paparazzi in recent days, has chosen to show a really beautiful face, smiling, serene, one might say.

According to the Chron, the credit for that smile is due to the decision to radically change his life: Heard would have chosen to walk away from that Hollywood that was as coveted as it was wild (feeling that the public immediately turned its back on the actress and as a ruthless consequence even the film majors would have done so) to move with his daughter Oonagh Paige, not yet two years old, to Costitx, a small inland village in the central part of the island of Mallorca. Not only. The actress would also have gone by a fake name to find at least a scrap of that privacy that has been shattered by years of testimony and testimony. A mission accomplished so far, since even according to various local testimonies, the star of Aquaman (a role that is at stake for her at the moment, despite the success of the 2018 blockbuster) would have managed to lead a ‘ completely normal existence as if on born on this island, a source said. Adds: She is often spotted with her daughter at the park. Indeed, one of the published images shows Herad on a playground swing, with his little trigger in his arms. A child whose actress defines herself as both mother and father, she had thanks to a surrogate and inevitably became her purpose in life. However, mother and daughter are not alone in this Spanish adventure.

Also at her side is the actress’ partner, the American camerawoman Bianca Butti, with whom it was thought months ago that the relationship would end at the beginning of the summer. Apparently not, because the women crossed the island together and decided to settle down in the center, in a village that seemed perfect for realizing their dream of a quiet life. According to other sources, this is actually more than a new site, an attempt to recharge the batteries. No life change, then, but a long vacation, as Hard doesn’t seem ready to read the word to end her painful (legal) affair with Depp in the June verdict. For this reason, she would have recently changed her pool of lawyers who have followed her, ready to go back to a judge to assert her reasons, convinced that everything cannot end like this after experiencing so much pain. To use another famous Spanish saying: No hay mal que por bien no sia. No evil comes without bringing good. Heard seems to want to believe it too.
