Is Amber Heard Writing a Tell-All Book?

Have we heard the last from Amber Heard? Maybe not.
The 36-year-old actress is allegedly in talks about writing a book about her relationship with the 58-year-old "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor.
Does Amber Heard Have More to Say?
A source close to the actress told OK! Magazine that Heard has signed a multi-million dollar deal to write a tell-all book because she's in no position to turn down money.
The unnamed source said, "Amber considers her career in Hollywood over. She's already in talks and is excited about it. At this point, she has nothing to lose and wants to tell all."
The Alleged Revenge Book Could Put the Actress in Hot Water
If she is planning to write a tell-all, The "Aquaman" actress is apparently ready to spill all her tea without interruption in what could be referred to as a "revenge" book. She allegedly feels she has nothing left to lose after losing the trial, but that may not actually be the case.
Author Dror Bikel told OK! Magazine, "Depp and his attorneys will be reading and listening to everything that Heard states. If she crosses the line, which is likely, there is no question that will be hit with another defamation suit and end up right back in court." Bikel, the author of "The 1% Divorce: When Titans Clash," said Heard needs to be extremely careful of what she says after the way the trial ended.
She's Apparently Not Afraid to Speak Her Mind
A jury has already found Heard to be liable for defaming Depp with the op-ed piece she wrote for The Washington Post in 2018 without actually naming Depp. With more detailed allegations in the book than what was in the courtroom, it could possibly land her right back in court fighting another defamation suit.
Since the trial ended, Heard has done a televised interview where she continued to tell her story that Depp was guilty of violently abusing her.
The Trial Followed By Millions
The trial had millions of people following the case for six weeks. During those six weeks, everyone following the trial heard both sides of the story from Depp and Heard, as well as other key witnesses, and the jury ultimately sided with Depp. They found Heard not believable and agreed that she defamed her ex-husband with false allegations. After the jury ruled in favor of Depp, a spokesperson for Heard revealed that she is planning to appeal the decision.
More Drama Could Follow
If she writes a tell-all book, the feud between the two could fire up again and another defamation suit could follow. Heard told "Dateline" in an interview that she was "terrified" of Depp suing her again. "I guess that's what a defamation lawsuit is meant to do, it's mean to take your voice," she said in the interview with Savannah Guthrie.
They Didn't Say No
The Blast reached out to Heard's team for comment on the possibility of a tell-all book and their response was, "Thanks for reaching out, but we don't have a comment to share on this." (Which isn't a no!)
