Amber Heard topless photo a 'distraction' from upcoming Johnny Depp trial
Netizens accuse Amber Heard of using her topless photo to sway media attention away from her defamation lawsuit from Johnny Depp.
Amber Heard couldn't care less about what trolls are saying about the topless photo she shared on social media. She did not even bother to take it down and instead wrote a simple response to defend herself amid claims that it's a distraction from her court trial with Johnny Depp.
"Desperate," "shameful," and "pathetic" are just some of the words used to describe the black-and-white snap of Heard posing topless for Interview Magazine. The said photo was shared on Twitter and it shows the "Aquaman" actress wearing an open blazer and her bare chest is exposed with one nipple peeking out.
The photo is meant to be artistic. However, some still criticised it for being disgusting. Others accused Heard of using the risqué snap to sway the media's attention away from her defamation lawsuit.
After losing back to back in court...... nipples are Amber's only hope. Is she gonna win the defamation case with the help of her nipples?ð¤ð¤

Find it hilarious you are desperately trying to get public attention away from the fact that you abused a man & lied about abuse; by taking your nip picture to get attention away from the defamation lawsuit. Itâs not working, and that text looks just as fake & planned.

Is this a way to shift focus away from the fact that this trial is not going your way at all? that the world sees the truth.

karma is a bitch.
Apparantely it didn't work when she showed up in court to 'persuade' the judge to give her gag order. Maybe her nipples are not good enough for hon. Judge White?ð ð #JusticeForJohnnyDepp#RespectforJohnnyDepp

Depp has filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife and the trial date is on Feb. 3, 2020. The trial will reportedly run for 12 days. The amount is being sought as payment for moral damages after the actress accused Depp of domestic abuse and he lost his job thereafter from the "Pirates of The Caribbean" franchise.
The 56-year-old actor filed the lawsuit in March, to contradict Heard's abuse claims. Depp's lawyer said her accusations were partly false.
Of course, trolls made sure to remind Heard about her alleged false accusations and of her upcoming trial date.
Then again, you are getting famous for being a hypocrite and a false liar. It is outrageous that you try to use feminism and domestic abuse victims for personal gain.

The snap not only caused some unwanted reactions from netizens regarding Heard's trial. It also caused controversy after someone from lingerie brand Lafilledo complained about it. The woman reportedly rallied her Instagram followers to report the photo and have Instagram remove it because it violates censorship policies.
The complainant voiced out her concerns of the app's double standards because even censored photos of regular people get taken down. Lafilledo does not see why Heard's topless pic should be any different from the rest.
So ladies, if u ever get nipple shamed u can: a) report other women b) try & organize women 2 gang up on other women who r fighting the same fight c) use ANY of that energy 2, i dunno, change the system u think is so unfair 2 begin with.

Instagram has not taken any action against the photo so it is still up on Heard's Instagram. As for the complaint, the 33-year-old "Justice League" actress gave sarcastic replies with the hashtags #Lafilledo #NotYourBraNotMyProblem, and "cool cool - love women supporting women!!" She also shamed the complainant online.
You have missed the point completely. She was exposing a double standard on IG

How incredibly unkind of you to use your voice to shame her for pointing out what you should have pointed out.
