Amber Heard, known for her high-profile legal battles with Johnny Depp, is once again in the midst of trouble, this time involving the FBI. The actor recently made headlines for her return to the big screens with the indie movie In the Fire, but her legal woes continue to haunt her.
Reports surfaced in 2022, revealing that Amber Heard was under investigation, and the FBI was involved in the case. The investigation stemmed from allegations that Heard smuggled her dogs, Pistol and Boo, into Australia while accompanying her then-husband Johnny Depp during the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean 5 in 2015.
Heard reportedly brought her dogs without declaring them, leading to charges of illegal animal importation. She ultimately pleaded guilty to falsifying travel documents in an Australian court in April 2016. Recently, it was disclosed that the perjury case involving Amber is still ongoing, with Australian authorities collaborating with the FBI to locate witnesses in America.
Heard’s Legal Battle with New York Insurance Company
Following her infamous case with Johnny Depp, Amber Heard found herself embroiled in another legal battle. After a Virginia court ordered her to pay Depp a substantial $10 million, Heard sought financial assistance from her insurance company, New York Marine and General Insurance Co., to cover a portion of the amount.
However, the insurance company cited an exemption due to the “willful” nature of Heard’s wrongful conduct, as determined by the jury, and refused to cover any part of the judgment owed to Depp. In response, Heard filed a countersuit, insisting that the insurance company should be held responsible.
Recently, Heard’s lawyer revealed that she has dropped the case against the New York-based company, and as of now, New York Marine faces no economic harm from her.
Despite her ongoing legal battles, Amber Heard made a notable comeback at the Taormina Film Festival earlier this year, where she received a warm reception from the audience for her performance in the indie flick movie, In the Fire. She has also reprised her role in Aquaman 2, showing her dedication to her career despite the legal challenges she is facing.
