Amber Heard sweetly holds hands with daughter Oonagh, two, while seen WITHOUT crutches after injury – as they enjoy new life in Madrid amid bombshell claims about Aquaman 2

Amber Heard was seen walking without her crutches on a stroll with her daughter just days after being spotted using the walking aids.

The 37-year-old actress was seen hand-in-hand with two-year-old daughter Oonagh on Tuesday  as they are enjoying their new life in Madrid. 

It certainly seemed like Amber’s health has been improving after injuring her hip while training for the New York City marathon as she did not have the crutches with her on the outing with her only child. 

Amber welcomed Oonagh via surrogate in April 2021. The identity of the child’s father has never been revealed.

Amber looked casual cool in a grey long-sleeved T-Shirt tucked into black flared jeans and matching leather booties.

She accessorized with a black leather belt, earrings, and black Ray-Ban sunglasses.

Amber’s signature blonde locks were worn down and tucked behind her ear as she showcased her natural looks by going make-up free. 

Her latest outing comes just days after bombshell claims that Aquaman 2 co-star Jason Momoa pushed to have her fired from the film and that he had purposely dressed like Johnny Depp on set.

Heard will return as Mera in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom set for release on December 20, 2023 – after previously claiming during her highly publicized court case with ex Depp last year that she ‘fought really hard to stay in the movie’ but that ‘they didn’t want to include me in the film’ and her scenes were cut.

Variety reports Depp fans paid the court fees for the release of December 27 2021 notes from Heard’s therapist, Dr. Dawn Hughes – which were written on a pad -and formed part of the trial last year – with the notes later surfacing on Reddit.

The notes detail an alleged hostile Aquaman 2 set  – reading: ‘Jason said he wanted me fired. Jason drunk — late on set. Dressing like Johnny. Has all the rings too.’

Representatives for Momoa declined to comment to the publication while a DC Studios spokesman said: ‘Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.’

A source who was on the London set in 2021 added the pair got along on set, adding: ‘Jason works his ass off, likes to have a beer once in a while like everyone, but doesn’t show up drunk to set. And he isn’t dressing like Johnny Depp. He has always dressed in that bohemian style.

Representatives for Heard declined to comment but confirmed to the publication the notes were in reference to Aquaman 2 and from a therapy session from December 27, 2021.

Another source close to the actress alleges her attorneys fought the release of the notes – which were ‘subpoenaed by Depp’s attorneys during discovery.’

The notes also saw Heard take aim at the film’s director James Wan and claim she was treated poorly due to her legal battle with Depp.

Claims: Aquaman 2 has been beset by more drama after Amber ‘s bombshell therapy documents alleged co-star  Momoa purposely dressed like Johnny Depp 

Return: Heard will return as Mera in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom set for release on December 20, 2023 – after previously claiming during her highly publicized court case with ex Depp last year that she ‘fought really hard to stay in the movie’ (pictured in first film)

Discussing Wan in the notes, the actress allegedly said: ‘He raised his voice @ me — I can’t even post about Aquaman — made it like it was my fault – I said “I’m sorry.” Nobody could take selfies with me on set given blackout.’

Wan declined to comment to the publication but a DC spokesman refuted the claims and said: ‘James is known for treating members of his cast and crew with the utmost respect and for fostering a positive, collaborative environment on set – the Aquaman films were no exception.’

Sources further claimed to the publication that Heard was nearly ousted from the sequel by Wan and the studio due to a ‘lack of chemistry’ with Momoa – but her ex boyfriend Elon Musk saved her job.

It was alleged a letter was sent to her attorney Karl Austen informing Heard of the decision after Aquaman’s release in 2018 – and that Momoa had no part in the decision to axe her.

Refuted: Representatives for Momoa declined to comment to the publication while a DC Studios spokesman said: ‘Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’

A further source claimed that Heard had done a chemistry test with Momoa before landing the role in the first film and beat out actresses including Abbey Lee,

Heard’s ex beau and Tesla billionaire Musk, 52, allegedly had one of his litigators send a ‘scorched-earth letter to Warner Bros. threatening to burn the house down’ if Heard wasn’t brought back for the sequel, a source claimed.

Warner Bros. then backed down and kept Heard on board.

Representatives for Warner Bros. and Elon Musk have been contacted for comment by DailyMail.com. 

Musk first met Heard in 2012 while the actress was shooting Machete Kills in Los Angeles, at the time the star was in the throes of her tumultuous relationship with  Depp. 

When that marriage ended amid allegations of domestic abuse, Heard began quietly spending more time with the South African-born billionaire before finally confirming their status just months after the ink was dry on her divorce from Depp.  

The couple dated for around 12 months between 2017 and 2018 with Musk visiting her on the set of Aquaman in Australia – they finally called it quits for good in February 2018.

It was also claimed ‘at least’ two scenes involving Heard were cut from the sequel – an action sequence with Mera fighting Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and a love scene with Momoa, insiders familiar with the production claimed

Back in July Heard broke her silence about returning to the role of Mera in the Aquaman sequel. 

The actress who earned a reported $2million for her role in the first film, said she was ‘honoured’ to be coming back to the DC Extended Universe, but admitted that there was a ‘ton of pressure’.

Director: The notes also saw Heard take aim at the film’s director James Wan (pictured end right with Heard, Momoa and Patrick Wilson in 2018) and claim she was treated poorly due to her legal battle with Depp – the actress allegedly said: ‘He raised his voice @ me’

Let her out! Heard has a blink-and-you-miss it cameo in the official trailer for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom – amid claims her role was reduced following Johnny Depp trial 

Comparing it to her latest film, In the Fire, Amber told Deadline: ‘These are very different kinds of projects representing two very different ends of the spectrum in my industry. 

‘There’s a ton of pressure on these big franchise movies, with millions and millions of dollars at stake, and compromises are part of trying to make it the most successful thing it can be. 

‘Then on the other end of the spectrum is a small indie film like In The Fire, a work of art and work of love, with nowhere near the same resources, and so there are compromises there. 

‘The best luck you can have as an actor is to be able to balance both. Aquaman, that franchise and the machinery behind it, I’m very honoured, honoured to be a part of that. 

‘And then there are these small passion projects like In The Fire, where I’m proud to have gotten to know the filmmaker and the cast, and we got dirty together, to breathe life into this story. 

‘There’s something cool about that, and I think success is an actor who is able to have both those things.’

Amber starred in the first Aquaman film in 2018, but her return in the sequel has been controversial after she accused her ex-husband Johnny Depp of abuse.

First film: It was claimed the decision to axe Heard was first made after the 2018 film and by Wan and the studio due to a lack of chemistry with Momoa – with Momoa not behind the decision 

Elon to the rescue: Heard’s ex beau and Tesla billionaire Musk, 52, allegedly had one of his litigators send a ‘scorched-earth letter to Warner Bros. threatening to burn the house down’ if Heard wasn’t brought back for the sequel, a source claimed

A petition was set up by the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor’s fans demanding her part be recast, accusing her of a ‘systematic crusade to ruin Depp in Hollywood’.

Johnny was dropped from the Fantastic Beasts franchise, after he lost his case against News Group Newspapers for calling him a ‘wife-beater’, which a judge ruled  was ‘substantially true’.

The petition garnered millions of signatures, but Amber dismissed it, telling Entertainment Weekly: ‘Paid rumours and paid campaigns on social media don’t dictate [casting decisions] because they have no basis in reality.’

The film’s producer Peter Safran reiterated this, saying: ‘I don’t think we’re ever going to react to, honestly, pure fan pressure. You gotta do what’s best for the movie. We felt that if it’s [director] James Wan and [star] Jason Momoa, it should be Amber Heard. That’s really what it was. 

‘One is not unaware of what is going on in the Twitter-verse, but that doesn’t mean you have to react to it or take it as gospel or accede to their wishes. You have to do what’s right for the film, and that’s really where we landed on it.’

However, during Amber and Johnny’s highly-publicised court case last year, Amber testified that she ‘fought really hard to stay in the movie’ but that ‘they didn’t want to include me in the film’ and only shot a ‘very pared-down version’ of her part. 

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom stars Jason Momoa as the titular hero, as well as Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, Nicole Kidman, Yahya Abdul Mateen II, and Temuera Morrison and is slated for release in December.
