Petition To Drop Amber Heard From Aquaman 2 Over Domestic Violence Allegations Boasts Nearly 500,000 Signatures

It seems like the end is nowhere in sight in the ongoing battle between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp.

However, new fuel is being added to the fire with a petition that has been steadily gaining support for the actress’ removal from the upcoming flick Aquaman 2, which she is slated to star in opposite Jason Momoa.

Although the Change.org petition has actually been around for over a year, it’s been seeing additional traction as of late with over 440,000 signatures demanding Amber’s removal from the flick. Citing the domestic violence allegations made by Depp, the appeal states:

“Amber Heard has been exposed as a domestic abuser by Johnny Depp. In his $50 million lawsuit, Johnny Depp describes many incidents of domestic abuse that he suffered at the hands of his (then) wife Amber Heard, including one incident where she punched him twice in the face and another where she shattered his finger with a vodka bottle, and his finger had to be surgically reattached. He will bear the scar from that for the rest of his life.”

In addition, it calls out a second past relationship of the star’s, Tasya Van Ree, whom Amber dated until 2012:

“Also, Amber Heard was arrested in 2009 for abusing a former domestic partner, Tasya Van Ree, demonstrating a repeated pattern of abuse by Amber Heard.”

The petition continued:

“Since Heard’s divorce from Johnny Depp, she has systematically crusaded to ruin Depp in Hollywood, repeating multiple accounts of fake incidents in which she had actually abused Johnny Depp, but lied and created false accounts of him being the abuser. About the incident during which she shattered the bones in Johnny Depp’s finger and nearly severed it, causing Depp to require surgery to reattach and repair it, Heard presented a false story claiming that he cut off his finger himself, dipped it in paint and scrawled obscenities all over the walls.

Likewise, Heard recounts fabricated incidents of Johnny Depp hitting her in the face when she had, in fact, punched him. Though staff and neighbors in the building where she lived reported seeing no marks on her face in the hours and days after she says Johnny Depp hit her, yet she appeared in court six (6) days later with bruises on her face, asking for a temporary restraining order, which was granted. Photos of Heard from the very next day show her full face, without makeup, and not a single bruise.”

The plea is directed at two employees of Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment, and directly called them out for not recognizing Heard as a “domestic abuser” because she is a woman”:

“As Amber Heard is a known and proven domestic abuser, Warner Brothers and DC Entertainment should and must remove Heard from their Aquaman 2 film project. They must not ignore the suffering of Heard’s victims, and must not glamorize a domestic abuser. Men are victims of domestic abuse, just like women. This must be recognized, and action must be taken to prevent a known abuser from being celebrated within the entertainment industry.”

Warner Bros. has yet to address the status of Miz Heard in the film, which is slated for a December 16, 2022 release date. Momoa has also been silent on the controversy around his on-screen love.
