Amber Heard is in talks to write a tell-all book to boost her income after her $8million defamation suit loss against ex-husband Johnny Depp, reports say.
A source close to the Aquaman star claimed the 36-year-old actressĀ was ‘broke’ and not ‘in a position to turn down money.’
They said she ‘considers her career in Hollywood over’ and ‘has nothing to lose’ following a disastrous few months.
It comes after Heard admitted she cannot afford the $8.3million in damages awarded to Depp on June 1 during their defamation battle.
The actress has since been spotted bargain shopping at discount store TJ Maxx in New York.Ā

It is unclear whether Depp (pictured on Sunday) will enforce the ruling and ask Heard to pay the high sum of money in its totality

The insider toldĀ OK! Magazine:Ā ‘Amber considers her career in Hollywood over. She’s already in talks and is excited about it.Ā At this point, she has nothing to lose and wants to tell all.’
Speaking in her first public interview last week since her court loss, Heard had claimed she was ‘terrified’ of telling her side of the story, where she accused Depp and physically and sexually assaulting her throughout their tumoultuous marriage.
Heard told Dateline she had been wounded by the ‘hate and vitriol’ directed at her, but did not regret bringing the case to court despite her loss and its high publicity.
‘I know the scariest, most intimidating thing for anybody talking about sexual violence is not being believed, being called a liar, or being humiliated,’ she said.
Heard said she was not speaking out because she was ‘vindictive’.
‘This would be a really lousy way of getting vengeance,’ she said.Ā ‘As silly as it is to say this out loud, my goal is – I just want people to see me as a human being.’
Despite continuing to air her allegations, Heard insisted that she wants nothing more than to move on with her life, telling Guthrie: ‘I look forward to living my life and I have a long one, I hope, in front of me. And I will continue to walk through this with my chin up.’
Going back on her statement to write a tell-all could land Heard into hot water again, according to Dror Bike, a New York divorce lawyer and best-selling author.Ā
‘Depp and his attorneys will be reading and listening to everything that Heard states,’ author Dror Bikel told OK! ‘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.’
Heard could also stand to face yet another backlash from the public, which slammed her for repeating her allegations against Depp during her Dateline interview.Ā Ā
The 36-year-old actress’ legal team attempted to submit the notes as evidence in her case against 59-year-old Depp (pictured in court) however a judge ruled that they were ‘hearsay’ and banned them from the trialĀ

It is unclear whether Depp will enforce the ruling and ask Heard to pay the high sum of money in its totality.
His lawyers have hinted that might not be the case, saying his motivation behind the lawsuit, which was to restore his reputation after Heard raised claims of domestic abuse in a 2016 Washington Op-ed, has already been achieved.
It would come as a relief to Heard as she was already spotted penny pinching while out bargain shopping at a TJ Maxx in New York earlier this week.Ā
The 36-year-old actress and her sister, Whitney Henriquez, indulged in an evening of bargain shopping at theĀ Bridgehampton retail store, TMZ reported.
According to the outlet, the sisters were seen perusing racks for clothes and discussing white linen pants.Ā

Heard has handed over the notes (pictured) to NBC’s Dateline as part of a wide-ranging sit-down interview with Savannah Guthrie, which aired last week
According to Guthrie and Dateline, which was given access to the so-called ‘binder’, the notes contain descriptions of violence dating back to January 2012, when ‘Heard told her therapist Depp ‘hit her, threw her on the floor”
Since the trials conclusion, heard also released a ‘binder full’ of notes from her therapist, which she claims is fresh evidence proving her allegations of physical and sexual abuse against her Depp – despite the notes already being dismissed by the judge.Ā
HeardĀ Ā turned over ‘years’ worth’ of notes taken by her therapist detailing instances when she says the actor ‘hit her, threw her against a wall, and threatened to kill her’.Ā
However, the judge in her trial against Depp had already dismissed the notes as ‘hearsay’ and barred her legal team from submitting the documents as evidence.
Nevertheless, the actress has now gone public with the binder, which ‘dates back to 2011 from the very beginning of her relationship’.
The notes contain descriptions of violence dating back to January 2012, when ‘Heard told her therapist Depp ‘hit her, threw her on the floor.”Ā
Eight months after that he ‘ripped her nightgown, threw her on the bed’ and then in 2013 ‘he threw her against a wall and threatened to kill her’, the notes allege.Ā
