AceShowbiz - Amber Heard claims an image showing Johnny Depp with two black eyes has been "photoshopped." The "Aquaman" actress made the claim during her ongoing court case with her ex-husband in Fairfax, Virginia, where she is countersuing after he sued her for defamation over a 2018 article she wrote about being a victim of domestic abuse.

"I've seen this picture before, and he's not injured in it, the 36-year-old actress, who also features in the photo," replied after being presented with a photo from the couple's honeymoon in 2015. "This one is photoshopped."

Heard alleges that Depp slapped her across the face, grabbed her by the neck and pushed her against a wall during their honeymoon. However, Camille Vasquez, Depp's attorney, disputes her version of events. She said in court, "This is the only photo from your honeymoon that shows someone injured."

Meanwhile, Heard also claimed to be the victim of an "ongoing smear campaign." The Hollywood star said the situation had led to her losing her advertising deal with L'Oreal, while she's also faced a petition to be dropped from "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom". She said, "They can't use me because of all of the online attention that generated."

Vasquez subsequently acknowledged that Heard has been the subject of "really negative publicity." The attorney explained, "A lot of reasons you're no longer active in these endeavors ... there was a lot of publicity about your relationship with Mr. Depp, a lot of really negative publicity."

And in response, Heard said, "There's been an ongoing smear campaign, an orchestrated smear campaign." Vasquez then questioned the actress' statement. She replied, "An ongoing negative publicity campaign? You have no evidence of that." Heard then said, "Just look me up, you'll see."
