In April, a source told PEOPLE that Heard “couldn’t wait to leave the U.S. with her daughter” after the controversial defamation trial with her ex-husbandJohnny Depplast summer. The source added that Heard has been living in Spain, where “she gets more privacy.”
“The trial was beyond stressful for her and she just wanted to start fresh out of the country,” said the source. “She is excited about working and filming again. She was exhausted and disappointed about the trial. She felt she was mistreated.”
“This is all behind her now, though,” added the source. “She has new energy and is focused on things that she loves.”
