Amber Heard accused of 'renting' baby Oonagh for sympathy amid Johnny Depp trial
The actress welcomed her daughter via surrogate on April 8, 2021.
Amber Heard has kept a low profile online since she lost against Johnny Depp in his defamation case in Virginia in May. She has stopped posting her photos and those of her daughter, Oonagh Paige, which had people thinking that the baby may not even be hers at all.
Rumours are flying that the "Aquaman" star "rented" her baby to gain sympathy from the media amid her case against her ex-husband. She reportedly does not have a child and the baby girl in her posts are different people, because she rents them for photos to be posted on her Instagram.
This allegation surfaced early in August after Twitter users noted that Heard no longer has any recent photos of Oonagh up on her social media feed, especially Instagram, after she lost the trial. Her last post with her daughter was on April 9.
Likewise, netizens began to speculate that she "lied" about having a baby girl after photos from her vacation in Tel Aviv surfaced online. The pictures allegedly showed her pushing an empty stroller.

Twitter user @TheDUIGuyPlus claimed to have received an email from an unknown person who said that Heard does not have a baby at all. An excerpt from the email read, "I can confirm that Amber Heard does not have a baby...She does not have a kid and rents or borrows a kid for her Instagram shots and her stroller is a prop used to garner sympathy. You can't even match up the babies' faces across the shots."

It could be a rumor, a conspiracy, a lie. But her pics on IG do not help her.

Meanwhile, others commented that they would not put it past her to do the stunt and fake having a baby. One tweeted, "If this article is true & I think it is. She will stop at nothing to get sympathy & what she wants. We've wondered who takes care of baby as she dines, shops, parties, & travels the world. Do her defenders stand by her renting babies?"
Poor baby Oonagh, another prop for @realamberheard to use and exploit in her eternal self-serving narrative of victimhood 🤮#AmberHeardIsALiar #AmberHeardIsStillALiar#AmberHeardlsAnAbuser #amberheardisapsychopath #AmberHeardIsFinished #darvoheard https://t.co/vgDDd53BOL

Another wrote, "Someone just pointed out that Amber Heard's baby keeps changing sizes. And its true. Go check it out. She stated her baby turned one recently."
Heard has yet to respond to the allegations that she "rented" Oonagh Paige for photos. She announced the baby's arrival in a post on Instagram in July last year, and said she was born via surrogate on April 8. In a touching tribute, she called her baby "the beginning of the rest of my life."
