Maybe I'm being pessimistic here, but although I do think Amber Heard's career will be hurt by this, I'm not so sure that she's finished. The court of public opinion is currently leaning towards Johnny's side, but the important, influential people - the media, campaigners, Hollywood - are still mostly on Amber's side, at least from what I've seen. Hollywood in particular can't exactly blacklist a woman in the post Me Too era, even if she has done wrong. I reckon Amber will stay out of the limelight for a couple of years while the heat from this dies down, then after that she will quietly return in small supporting roles. Regardless, she won't be headlining any big movies again any time soon.

While I'm here, I'll also join everyone in saying thank you to Biscuit for the in-depth breakdowns. They're much appreciated!

I don't know. I'm thinking that by the time this is over and Amber shows her (lack of a) case, things are going to swing even more. I've noticed more public opinion seems to be on Johnny's side now. I don't think anyone will want to work with her again given how unhinged she seems to be. I have no doubt that we'll hear about her own difficulties on sets when she gets cross examined. It's not like people ever thought Amber Heard was a tremendous actress to begin with that was a box office draw like Depp was.

Although when you say that a lot of media is on Amber's side, it's true. The Sun, for instance, is an affiliate with the New York Post, so they're going to post everything they can slanderous about Johnny Depp and they have in this trial. Keep in mind that Eve Bartlow has many friends in high places in the media too, and she's likely had a hand in keeping the media entrenched in anti-Johnny mode too.

I think there will always be types who will keep Amber getting smaller gigs like you said though, just nothing big enough that there will be a large outcry against it when she's cast in something. I think she'll be crushed in public opinion and it would hurt any major movie to cast her.

Aquaman 2 comes out in March so...

I don't know how true it is, but I've heard that Amber is only in it for 10 minutes. I should also say that Mera is my favorite DC female hero, so this hurts me a lot more! But if it's true and she's barely in the movie, it may be due to her not being a treat backstage. I know she told that story about Jason Momoa tearing a page out of her book she was reading constantly, but like most stories from Amber Heard, it's probably not totally true. I'm not sure if they'll be able to get any information from her on sets on cross (has to be relevant in some way), but I wouldn't be surprised if it's revealed she's also difficult to work with.
