The news comes after Heard admitted through her lawyer that she cannot afford the $8.3 million in damages awarded to Depp on June 1 during their defamation battle.

The actress has since been spotted bargain shopping at discount store TJ Maxx in New York.

The insider told OK! Magazine: ‘Amber considers her career in Hollywood over. She’s already in talks and is excited about it. At this point, she has nothing to lose and wants to tell all.’

Speaking in her first public interview last week since her court loss, Heard had claimed she was ‘terrified’ of telling her side of the story, where she accused Depp and physically and sexually assaulting her throughout their tumultuous marriage.

Heard told Dateline she had been wounded by the ‘hate and vitriol’ directed at her, but did not regret bringing the case to court despite her loss and its high publicity.

‘I know the scariest, most intimidating thing for anybody talking about sexual violence is not being believed, being called a liar, or being humiliated,’ she said.

Heard said she was not speaking out because she was ‘vindictive’.

‘This would be a really lousy way of getting vengeance,’ she said. ‘As silly as it is to say this out loud, my goal is – I just want people to see me as a human being.’

Despite continuing to air her allegations, Heard insisted that she wants nothing more than to move on with her life, telling Guthrie: ‘I look forward to living my life and I have a long one, I hope, in front of me. And I will continue to walk through this with my chin up.’

Going back on her statement to write a tell-all could land Heard into hot water again, according to Dror Bike, a New York divorce lawyer and best-selling author.

‘Depp and his attorneys will be reading and listening to everything that Heard states,’ author Dror Bikel told OK! ‘If she crosses the line, which is likely, there is no question that will be hit with another defamation suit and end up right back in court.’

Heard could also stand to face yet another backlash from the public, which slammed her for repeating her allegations against Depp during her Dateline interview.

It is unclear whether Depp will enforce the ruling and ask Heard to pay the high sum of money in its totality.

His lawyers have hinted that might not be the case, saying his motivation behind the lawsuit, which was to restore his reputation after Heard raised claims of domestic abuse in a 2016 Washington Op-ed, has already been achieved.

It would come as a relief to Heard after she was already spotted penny pinching while out bargain shopping at a TJ Maxx in New York earlier this week.

The 36-year-old actress and her sister, Whitney Henriquez, indulged in an evening of bargain shopping at the Bridgehampton retail store, TMZ reported.

According to the outlet, the sisters were seen perusing racks for clothes and discussing white linen pants.

Since the trials conclusion, heard also released a ‘binder full’ of notes from her therapist, which she claims is fresh evidence proving her allegations of physical and sexual abuse against her Depp – despite the notes already being dismissed by the judge.

Heard turned over ‘years’ worth’ of notes taken by her therapist detailing instances when she says the actor ‘hit her, threw her against a wall, and threatened to kill her’.

However, the judge in her trial against Depp had already dismissed the notes as ‘hearsay’ and barred her legal team from submitting the documents as evidence.

Nevertheless, the actress has now gone public with the binder, which ‘dates back to 2011 from the very beginning of her relationship’.

The notes contain descriptions of violence dating back to January 2012, when ‘Heard told her therapist Depp ‘hit her, threw her on the floor.”

Eight months after that he ‘ripped her nightgown, threw her on the bed’ and then in 2013 ‘he threw her against a wall and threatened to kill her’, the notes allege.
