Amber Heard fires PR team days ahead of testimony in Johnny Depp defamation trial
As the heavily publicized trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard continues into its third week, Heard has hired a new crisis management firm to represent her.
According to NBC, Heard — who is expected to testify in court this week — dropped the public relations company Precision Strategies on Thursday, just days before she is set to speak in court.
The high profile company was co-founded by Stephanie Cutter, a former deputy campaign manager for former president Barack Obama’s successful re-election campaign.

He is suing Heard for US$50 million in damages. Though Heard never mentioned Depp by name in the op-ed, his legal team argues her claim that she became a “public figure representing domestic abuse” was damning enough.
