Amber Heard freed the nipple and skipped the bra during her latest L.A. hike, finding herself chased by the city's paparazzi as she burned some calories with a friend. The 34-year-old actress and ex to "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor Johnny Depp is fresh from a headline-making vacation to Turkey where visiting mosques landed her some backlash. Amber, who had covered up to visit the Muslim worship places, had nonetheless gone braless, something that Twitter wasn't too happy about.
Amber, also clapping back, is now back in the City of Angels and seemingly enjoying life amid her bloody Johnny Depp war. Check it out below.

Scroll for the hiking photos and the mosque outfit deemed disrespectful. Amber's Instagram, followed by 3.9 million, has been documenting the "Aquaman" actress' travels, with snaps from Turkey including the above boat shot.
"So hard to say goodbye...I love Turkey so much," Amber wrote, also throwing out the country's flag in emoji form.
The latest snaps came as Amber stated: "Nothing like a late morning back in California" during a little selfie action. They showed the star looking super-fit and enjoying L.A.'s hiking trails with an unnamed female companion.

Amber had been snapped in a simple black pair of leggings with a plaid shirt wrapped around her waist, also rocking a slightly cropped black tee worn braless. The L'Oréal spokesperson also wore a reddish bandana as a face covering – Amber did similar as she fronted media outlets this summer for appearing at London's High Court as 57-year-old Depp faced off The Sun in his $1 million libel trial.
Also outfitted in sneakers, Amber kept it comfortable. Less comfortable for the star, was the backlash to that Istanbul photo.

Amber fronted media outlets in mid-August for taking to Instagram in a braless look she'd worn to visit Istanbul's mosques.
"Spent the day wandering around the magic of Istanbul’s mosques and couldn’t be more in love with this gorgeous city...," she captioned an outdoor photo. Amber had respectfully donned a light-coverage headscarf in fuschia, but social media wasn't zero'ing in on the hijab.
""Amber Heard really did enter a Mosque in Istanbul with her nipples on show didn't she? The disrespect!" a user had Tweeted.

Despite an objectively covered-up finish, Amber fell victim to mass hate – "Amber Heard, the activist and humanitarian that cares more about showing her nipples in an instagram photo than dress in a respectful manner for the occasion. I’m sorry Istanbul you have to deal with her," one user wrote.
Heard defended herself, taking to Twitter to write:
"Nope. Apparently whoever paid 4 this to b 'written' wasnt paid enough,."
"Ill make it easy(ier): Mosques are real places. So are museums & churches. So are head scarfs (where they are sometimes required n order 2 visit). Mystery solved. (sic)," she added.
