Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s trial remains one of the biggest topics of discussion in recent memory. Amber Heard was essentially exposed as a toxic person, and people had enough of her. Amber Heard’s supporters have recently come together on GoFundMe to support her.

The funds are not intended to assist the actress pay off her $8.35 million debt to Johnny Depp. Another fundraising account in the Aquaman actress’ name has been discovered by Radar Online, promising to donate the earnings to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV). Heard’s vocal supporter, Kylie Putnam, set up the GoFundMe with the title, “Donate to the NCADV In Amber Heard’s Honor.”

For years, Amber Heard has been subjected to a swarm of relentless harassment and vitriol for coming forward about her personal experience with domestic violence, and the media frenzy surrounding the Depp vs Heard trial has only made the situation more dire.

Even with the piles of evidence documenting the abuse that took place, the truth is repeatedly ignored in favor of rhetoric drenched in victim blaming and mass cruelty. The world’s response to Amber Heard not only hurts Amber but survivors everywhere. The message is clear: “This is what happens when you speak out.”

Throughout Heard’s $100 million slander trial against Depp, Putnam spoke up numerous times. RadarOnline.com has revealed that her super fan persisted in the fight after a jury determined that the actress had defamed her ex-husband with her abuse claims. The GoFundMe creator identified herself as a survivor.

Putman has raised $1,676 of their $2,000 goal. There have been 60 donations, and you can check out a screenshot below. This is not the first GoFundMe that a fan has started. The last one was shut down after it made a commitment to utilize the funds to assist Heard in covering Depp’s legal fees.
