Amber Heard – who limited Instagram comments after getting trashed by her own followers – is back on the 'Gram. The 34-year-old actress whose bloody divorce battle with "Pirates of the Caribbean" star Johnny Depp rages on posted a new update on Monday night.
The "Aquaman" actress' brief and tumultuous marriage to Depp remains front-page news, with Amber now facing up to three years in jail for falsifying evidence in her court case – the blonde made global headlines in January 2020 as leaked 2015 audio saw her confess to "hitting" Depp with pots and pans.

Keep scrolling for the photo. Amber, who now faces a $50 million defamation lawsuit from her 2017-divorced ex, posted a desert snap from an undisclosed location last night. The actress was sun-drenched and flexing it out in a braless white tank top and jeans as she reached her arms upwards while backed by blue skies, parched landscape, plus a mega giant cactus next to her. The star was solo except for the company of her dog.
"Desert dwellers" was the caption. Keep scrolling for Amber saying how her 115 pounds would mean nobody would "ever believe" Depp was a victim of domestic violence.

Amber and Johnny's divorce battle comes with domestic violence accusations up the wazoo, including Depp alleging that his ex severed his little finger by throwing a vodka bottle at him – Amber, meanwhile, said that the "Pirates" actor was high on ecstasy.
Fresh in the news are reports that Amber allegedly body-shamed the 56-year-old, per the actor's Bahamian estate manager Tara Roberts.
"She was insulting him, calling him names and in the middle of this onslaught I heard her say specifically “your career is over” “no one is going to hire you,” “you’re washed up,” “fat,” “you will die a lonely man,” and also screaming things that were incomprehensible."

While Johnny Depp's social media activity made global headlines in mid April as the actor signed up to Instagram – he now has 4.8 million followers – Amber has been keeping it a one-way affair and opting out of the fan interaction route taken by her former "The Rum Diaries" co-star. Updates earlier this year showed the actress' foot in a medical boot, with more recent posts seeing her mark the loss of her mother, plus hanging out in some stylish merch via a pair of Gucci shoes.
For fans siding with Depp and believing that Amber was physically abusive to the actor during their marriage, there's an audio-recorded defense.

The leaked 2015 audio heard Amber say:
"Do you know I'm a 115, well not anymore, but I was a 115 lb almost 115 lb woman...have I ever been able to knock you off of your feet? Or knock you off balance?"
"You're going to get up on the stand, Johnny, and say, 'she started it'? Really? I have never been able to overpower you that's the difference between me and you...and that's a difference, that's a whole world, and there's a jury and there's a judge will see that there's a very big difference between me and you," she added.
