American actress and model Amber Heard has been in the spotlight for her roles in blockbuster movies as well as her high-profile relationship and divorce with actor Johnny Depp. However, last year, she lost her highly-publicized defamation trial against Depp, and now she’s planning to move to Spain with her daughter, Oonagh.

According to several media outlets, Heard’s decision to move to Spain is final as she wants to move away from all the media attention. A source close to the actress said, “She’s bilingual in Spanish and is happy there, raising her daughter away from all the noise. I don’t think she is in any hurry to return to work or to Hollywood, but she will probably come back when the time is right, for the right project.”

Many people have accused Heard of making false allegations against Depp in order to extract money from him. Depp’s fans demanded her removal from the upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) movie. The hate from Depp’s fans might have also contributed to Heard’s decision to move away from Hollywood.

Heard accused Depp of physically assaulting her on multiple occasions during their marriage, which Depp denied. The court ruled in favor of Depp, concluding that Heard’s op-ed for the Washington Post was about him, and she was ordered to pay roughly $10 million in compensatory damages.
Amber Heard’s move to Spain might be an effort to escape the media attention and hate she has received from Johnny Depp’s fans. However, she might return to Hollywood when the time is right for the right project.
