Amber Heard has revealed she received death threats and lost out on work after accusing ex-husband Johnny Depp of domestic abuse.

The Aquaman actress, 32, filed for divorce from the Pirates of the Caribbean star, 55, in May 2016 stating that he had been 'verbally and physically' abusive towards her - claims he continues to deny.

Their divorce was finalised in January 2017, with Amber later donating a portion of her $7 million divorce settlement to the Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

Yet Amber has now revealed that after she made the allegations, she constantly feel threatened as she was subject to death threats, and her career also suffered as she lost roles and campaigns.

Writing for the Washington Post newspaper, she wrote: 'I write this as a woman who had to change my phone number weekly because I was getting death threats.

Explaining that she rarely left her apartment for fear of being hounded, she added: 'I felt as though I was on trial in the court of public opinion - and my life and livelihood depended on myriad judgments far beyond my control.'

Revealing that it not only impacted her personal life but her professional one, too she claimed she was 'blacklisted' by Hollywood, revealing: 'I had the rare vantage point of seeing, in real time, how institutions protect men accused of abuse.'

She added that in light of her abuse allegations she was recast in a movie role, dropped as the face of a fashion brand and questions were raised to whether she could still star in Aquaman.

Despite her treatment, Amber believes the industry is changing for the better in light of the #MeToo movement, and encouraged other victims of abuse to speak out.

Amber and Johnny were married for 15 months before she filed for divorce.

After their divorce was finalised, they released a joint statement that read: 'Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love.

'Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm. Amber wishes the best for Johnny in the future. Amber will be donating financial proceeds from the divorce to a charity.

'There will be no further public statements about this matter.'
