Amber Heard has been under fire for her recent trip to Spain when she still owes her ex-husband Johnny Depp and her attorneys a sizable sum of money.
In a Newsweek article, PR professionals comment on how the actress’ most recent action puts her in front of the public while she still owes Depp $10.2 million and her lawyers $15 million.
According to Kelly Brady, CEO and creator of Brandsway Creative, “Anything you do that is exposed in the media is like being judged in a global public court.”
Even if you are not paying for this trip, she continued, “if you are going through money troubles publicly and then you are pictured living it up on a lux vacation, you’re basically opening the flood gates to be mocked, to be doubted, and to be branded a liar.”
Another PR specialist After the shocking libel trial, the Pirates of the Caribbean star is still “playing it better,” according to Jared Shapiro, founder of the public relations firm The Tag Experience.
“While Johnny Depp has found love with his lawyer, Amber Heard is on the road and unable to pay her debts. Even now, following the lawsuit, he is handling it better, at least in terms of public relations, she pointed out.
She continued, “When you have something to attempt to convince people of, public relations is always a hard battle.” “It does require work and a group. In addition, hiding is fairly simple if you want to pull it off.
She advised Heard to do what she had advised “avoid “buying or taking a luxury vacation” when having financial difficulties and to “lie low and not to do anything spectacular.”
Shapiro went on to say “Your public actions must reinforce the story you are trying to tell, not the story that your “haters, are trying to create.””
