Amber Heard is all smiles as Johnny Depp launches fresh court case against her

Amber Heard looked the picture of happiness as she enjoyed a hike with a female friend on Tuesday.

Her outing came after it was claimed that her ex husband Johnny Depp has launched a new multi-million dollar court case against her.

But her new legal woes appeared to be the last thing on her mind as she enjoyed the Los Angeles sunshine on her walk this week.

The Rum Diaries actress, 34, kept the sun off of her face in a chic straw hat and she made sure her skin was protected from the harsh rays in a cream coloured linen shirt.

She teamed the look with a comfy pair of black leggings and a matching pair of trainers.

Amber accessorised with a coral coloured bandanna worn around her neck.

The star was seen carrying a water bottle as she enjoyed the high energy hike.

She was photographed getting her daily exercise around the Elysian Park area.

Amber was joined by an unknown female friend who wore an all black outfit comprising of a t-shirt, leggings and matching trainers.

The two women appeared to be enjoying each other’s company and laughed and joked during their outing.

It comes after it was claimed Depp’s lawyers are expected to serve papers in America that could result in his ex wife Amber giving evidence again about their turbulent marriage.

She previously claimed that the Hollywood actor was abusive and violent towards her during their three years together.

Depp has strongly denied the allegations and took The Sun’s publishers News Group Newspapers to court in July over an article that called him a ‘wife beater’.

Following the rumours another court hearing could be on the cards, a source close to Amber told the Mail : “It seems that [Johnny] will stop at nothing to ruin her.

“No matter what the outcome [of Depp’s case against The Sun], Amber is preparing for round two, but if Johnny wins his case against The Sun then that’s it, he will go and go.

“This could go on for years to come,” they claimed.
