Amber Heard was pictured looking joyful as she stayed glued to her phone during a sunny Memorial Day weekend stroll.

The 33-year-old was spotted in Los Angeles days after her ex Johnny Depp accused her ‘painting on’ her bruises and of committing domestic abuse against him during their tumultuous marriage.

But Amber did not let the legal woes stop her from enjoying the holiday season, as she pulled off the casual but chic look that is the white-tee, blue denim combo.

We love an effortlessly fashionable queen.

The Aquaman actor, who is now dating It director Andy Muschietti, has accused Johnny of abuse but her ex is now claiming she abused him.

Johnny, who has staunchly denied Amber’s allegations that he physically abused her, is now suing her for defamation with the prize of $50 million (£39 million).

It is the first time Depp has spoken out using his own words since 2016 when Amber accused him of abuse.

‘I have denied Ms Heard’s allegations vehemently since she first made them in May 2016,’ he wrote on 21 May, adding that ‘she walked into court to obtain a temporary restraining order with painted-on bruises that witnesses and surveillance footage show she did not possess each day of the preceding week’.

‘I will continue to deny them for the rest of my life. I never abused Ms Heard or any other woman.’

He also says that his decision to sue Amber came ‘not only to clear my name and restore my reputation, but to attempt to bring clarity to the women and men whose lives have been harmed by abuse and who have been repeatedly lied to by Ms Heard purporting to be their spokesperson’.

The 55-year-old claimed that he has decided to pursue the case three years later because of the ‘appearance of new evidence not previously in my possession’.

He alleged that ‘after years of asserting my innocence, I am finally in a position to prove it by dismantling each element of her hoax’.

The Pirates of the Caribbean actor previously submitted video footage taken from the cameras inside the elevators of their former apartment building, which was shot three days after he was accused of hitting the Danish Girl actress in the face and trashing their apartment.

The clips, which were obtained by The Blast, show Amber, her sister Whitney, and a friend entering and exiting the elevator multiple times and Johnny’s legal team believe there are no signs of physical injury on the actress’ face even though ‘she and her two friends claimed in picturesque detail that Johnny Depp smashed Ms Heard’s face and “destroyed” his own penthouse.’

Metro.co.uk has previously contacted reps for Johnny and Amber for comment.
