Actress Amber Heard fired her PR team and switched to a new firm after she reportedly became frustrated following a week of “bad headlines” during the defamation trial brought by her ex-husband and actor Johnny Depp, a new report claimed.

According to dailymail.co.uk, Heard was being represented by Precision Strategies, which she suddenly ditched in favour of LA-based consulting firm Shane Communications. She made the move in apparent hopes that she might receive more favourable coverage this week – during which time she is expected to take to the stand and testify.

“She doesn’t like bad headlines,” an unnamed source told the New York Post, which first reported the news, reports dailymail.co.uk.

Another source told the newspaper that Heard, 36, is “frustrated with her story not being told effectively
The actor is suing Heard for $50 million, claiming she defamed him and ruined his career after a 2018 Washington Post article in which she described herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse”, without naming her ex-husband.

Heard is counter-suing for $100 million, and after three weeks of sitting silently in the courtroom during Depp’s testimony, she is preparing to start her fightback, possibly as soon as Wednesday.
The PR firm switch came following several days of court testimony from Depp witnesses that saw the social-media mob suddenly turn against Heard.

Heard’s credibility as a philanthropist also took a battering when it was claimed she had not donated her $3.5 million divorce settlement to charity, something she had promised publicly to do. She had apparently donated only $1.3 million and much of that appeared to have come from her former boyfriend, billionaire Elon Musk.

According to Terence Dougherty, the chief operating officer of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the recipient of Amber’s “largesse” of $500,000, it came from a Vanguard fund connected to Musk.
