Taking to Instagram, she wrote, "Thank you for such an incredibly warm reception at the Taormina Film Festival for my latest movie In the Fire. It was an unforgettable weekend. #InTheFire.”
Before this, her last Instagram post was made in December 2022.
Luca Calvani, her co-star in the film commented, "Yes. There she is [sparkles emoji]."
Connor Allyn, the director of Heard's film told Deadline, "I'm so happy that Amber went through something so awful and it didn't change her as a person. She's still the shining light that we explained earlier and to go through something that terrible and be able to come out the other side and be whole."
Along with her first post on social media, Amber Heard further shared a couple of pictures with fans from the film festival on Instagram Stories.
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp's legal battle
The legal battle between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp went on from April to June 2022. After heated arguments from both sides, a seven-person jury announced the verdict in Johnny Depp’s favour. Amber Heard, meanwhile, won one of her three counterclaims.
Back in 2016, Amber Heard filed for divorce, claiming that Johnny Depp used to physically abuse her during their marriage under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Although, Johnny Depp denied the allegations, stating that it was an attempt to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse.
