Kathryn Arnold, an expert in the entertainment business, testified on Monday during the continuation of the defamation trial that involves Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. She said that Heard’s career in Hollywood had suffered a significant setback as a direct result of the accusations that she had fabricated charges of domestic abuse against her ex-husband Depp. Arnold’s comparison of her career trajectory to that of other rising stars in Hollywood infuriated online commenters for a number of reasons.
During the last week of the trial, Amber Heard’s legal team consulted the expert Kathryn Arnold. She said that Hollywood regarded her film work favourably, but “they can’t work with her right now.” Arnold was testifying to the losses in terms of economics, and he compared the wages of Amber Heard to the earnings of other “similar” performers such as Jason Momoa, Gal Gadot, Zendaya, Chris Pine, and Ana de Armas.
Arnold said:
It was a long time ago, and I can’t recall just what part she performed in the movie, but she was in that movie, and as a result, her agency ought to have leveraged it to get her other roles.
Dennison went on to add:
You have no idea that the main part she plays in that movie is a giant nude billboard, do you? Arnold brought up that Heard, best known for her role as Mera in Aquaman, also had a cameo in Blade Runner 2049 as she continued her discussion of the actress’s prospects for success in Hollywood. During her examination, this resulted in her being subjected to a vicious assault at the hands of Depp’s attorney, Wayne Dennison.
The legal representation for Johnny Depp puts Kathryn Arnold under intense scrutiny for her lack of familiarity with Amber Heard’s filmography.
As Wayne Dennison continued questioning her about the performers described in the previous paragraphs, it became clear that she was unfamiliar with Patrick Wilson, who co-starred with Amber Heard in Aquaman. In addition, she was not aware of Heard’s part in Blade Runner 2049, which consisted of a single scene in which the actress was put on a billboard.
According to Dennison, Heard had a minor part in the science fiction movie. Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, and Dave Bautista were among the actors that appeared in the action film with other notable actors. In 2018, the film was awarded the Academy Award for Best Cinematography and the Academy Award for Forest Visual Effects. In addition to that, it was honoured with a BAFTA Award.
The discussion
Ana de Armas has been brought up in discussion by Heard’s legal team on more than one occasion. The comparison made by the attorney for the latter, Elaine Bredehoft, between Heard and the Cuban actress infuriated online commenters. People on the internet were outraged by the comparison between Herad and the popular actress. The latter has been in many critically acclaimed movies, such as “No Time to Die,” “Deep Water,” and “Knives Out.”
