“My opinion is it was related to the accusations that Amber has made,” said Carino. “I was given a script and then given new versions of the script that had taken away scenes that had action in it, that depicted my character and another character—without giving any spoiler away—two characters fighting with one another, and they basically took a bunch out of my role,” Heard said. During her testimony, Heard said that she has “only been able to participate in, I believe, one live event that they also couldn’t promote or use the material from” since allegations surfaced that she lied about Depp’s abuse. I fought to keep my job and the biggest movie opportunity I had to date [with] Justice League with the option to [star in] Aquaman. I had to fight really hard to stay in Justice League because that was the time of the divorce.” In her testimony, Heard claimed that she struggled to hold on to her starring role as Mera in Aquaman opposite Jason Momoa after seeking a restraining order from Depp. During her testimony on Monday, she accused Depp of orchestrating a “smear campaign” in Hollywood to ruin her career after she sought out a domestic violence restraining order against the Pirates of the Caribbean actor in 2016.
