Amber Heard is continuing to face attacks online following her highly publicized loss in court in the defamation trial against her ex-husband Johnny Depp, as she is now being criticized over rumors she intends to release a "tell-all" book.
Reports that the Aquaman star is working on a multi-million dollar book deal following her recent legal battles have been circulating online for weeks, with OK! reporting on plans for the release of a "gut-spilling revenge memoir."
Meanwhile, a report from Radar suggested that the prospect of a book has caused a "frenzy in the publishing world" with negotiations reportedly in the region of $15 million.
Such reports have invited yet more criticism against the embattled actress even though reports of such a book have not been confirmed.
Newsweek reached out to Heard's representatives for confirmation regarding the book rumors but did not receive a response prior to publication.
In April, Heard embarked on a six-week court battle with Depp, who had filed a $50 million lawsuit against her over her 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post, in which she said she was a domestic abuse survivor.
Following a trial of brutal testimonies and social media frenzies, the jury awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, after finding Heard's claim to be false and defamatory.
Whether reports of a potential book about the trial are true or not, Heard's critics are running with the rumors and further criticizing her for potentially profiting from a book about the trial.
"What kind of publisher would be stupid enough to go into business with someone who has just been found to be defamatory?" asked TikTok creator Jahan Kalantar in a video that's clocked up almost 50,000 views.

Meanwhile, another TikToker, Noah Glenn Carter addressed the rumors in a video with more than 340,000 views.
"Amber Heard's new book is already making her millions of dollars," the creator said in the video, which sparked a huge discussion in the comments, with many people disparaging Heard in their responses.

"I don't know why ppl give her the light of day," read one comment, while another added: "He can sue her again for defamation with all the lies that will be in the book. Witch just needs to move on."
The vitriol for Heard about a book that hasn't even been confirmed comes as Depp's fans have been attacking the actress over her own beauty.
"To say that has sent the deranged attack dogs onto Amber's scent would be an understatement. Even as they acknowledge her beauty, they turn it to poison," wrote Newsweek columnist Nicole Lampert.
"The idea that Amber bewitched Johnny with said beauty has become so prevalent there are social media accounts linking the actress to the old TV series about witches, Bewitched. Because of course it was her fault that Johnny fell in love with her."
