Ghosted By Hollywood: The time Amber Heard found no support from A-List friends

In the seemingly glittering world of Hollywood, scandals can often turn friends into silent spectators. Such was the case for the 'Aquaman' star, Amber Heard, who found herself seemingly ostracized by her own industry friends amidst a defamation trial against her ex-husband Johnny Depp.

Friendships Fade in Hollywood's Harsh Spotlight

Ever since Amber's very public battle with Johnny Depp, the consequences have ricocheted throughout their personal and professional lives. After her op-ed piece in The Washington Post in 2018, where she depicted herself as a public figure who suffered domestic violence, the drama escalated. Although she didn't directly name Depp, she confessed in Virginia court that the piece was indeed targeted at him, thus losing her case.

According to a 2022 report by Star Magazine, Heard's circumstances turned grimmer as she found herself having to relocate to a smaller house due to losing out on many projects and a considerable amount of money as a result of the case. The real shocker, however, was that when Heard reached out to her Hollywood friends, including Kristen Stewart, Margot Robbie, and Cara Delevingne for support, they apparently did not respond.

An insider at the time described the situation: "Amber has reached out to her old party pals like Kristen Stewart, Cara Delevingne, and Margot Robbie, hoping they'll help her with a place to stay. She's getting snubbed and, in many cases, flat-out ghosted."

This period marked a distressing time for Heard, who was seen hanging out with her ex-partner Tasya Van Ree, perhaps seeking solace amidst the storm. Meanwhile, Depp was focusing on his concerts and an upcoming French movie, Jeanne Du Barry.

Looking back, the incident underscores the harsh reality of the Hollywood industry. A star one moment, isolated the next, the experience of Amber Heard draws attention to the unpredictability of fame and the potentially isolating consequences of public controversies. The 'Aquaman' star’s saga raises a question: does Hollywood offer genuine friendships, or is it all part of the show?
