Amber Heard Fired Her PR Team & She's Apparently 'Frustrated' By All The 'Bad Headlines'

New team, who dis?

Global Staff Writer

Amber Heard is making some changes, and she's starting with her PR team.

The Aquaman actor — who is set to testify this week in court for her defamation case against Johnny Depp — has reportedly fired her PR team just days before taking the stand.

On Sunday, May 1, Heard terminated her contract with Precision Strategies after allegedly being unhappy with her portrayal in the press since the start of the trial, The Independent reports.

A source told the New York Post, which broke the news, that Heard "doesn't like bad headlines."

The outlet also reported that another source mentioned that she is "frustrated with her story not being told effectively."

Shane Communications has since been hired by the actress to handle all press for the remainder of the trial.

Since the beginning of the legal battle, an array of revelations concerning Heard and ex-husband Johnny Depp's relationship have come out, including an occasion where she allegedly admitted to defecating on Depp's bed.

Once Depp's legal team wraps up, Heard's team is expected to follow by taking the legal stage on Tuesday, May 3.

NBC reports that an expert for Heard's side is expected to go first and that Heard will "most likely take the stand Wednesday."

Depp is suing his ex-wife for defamation and is asking for US$50 million after Heard published an op-ed about domestic abuse in The Washington Post in 2018. While Heard did not name Depp in the piece, the content was widely believed to be about their relationship.
