For Heard, it was her first public appearance since the defamation suit filed against her by her ex, Johnny Depp. The two ex-lovers accused each other of domestic violence during a hotly contested trial. Depp came out as the big winner, with the judge getting Heard right on only one point. Therefore, he had to pay her back the $10 million she owed him over $2 million.

Heard may not return for Johnny Depp’s trial, but her co-star Luca Calvani and director Connor Allyn will. Elin said: “I’m so glad Amber went through something so terrible, but it hasn’t changed her as a person. She’s still a shining light. To go through something so terrible and still come out so good, I can’t imagine it.” Calvani also had words of praise for Hurd. She is a star and she radiates light. “Everyone on the set feels it and connects with it. Anyone who’s had to go through something like this and come out with dignity should be respected — it doesn’t matter whose side you’re on, what you believe, or what your hashtags are. She could teach us all a thing or two about resilience and courage.
