The stunning mansion that Amber Hurd lived in during her court battle with Johnny Depp has been revealed.
The actress reportedly rented a 1,200-square-foot mansion[/B] in McLean, Virginia, a leafy suburb of Washington, D.C., which is a 25-minute drive from the Fairfax County courthouse. The high-profile trial lasted six weeks. The mansion features a tennis court, home theater, eight bedrooms, a spa and a uniquely stunning staircase at the entrance.
After the court's decision, Amber Hurd's attorney spoke to the Today Show. Asked if the actress is able to pay the amount of damages to Johnny Depp, attorney Elaine Brenthoft replied "no, absolutely not." In fact, as she mentioned, Amber Heard is preparing to file an appeal. Despite the lawyer's claims of financial problems, Hurd stayed at the luxury villa with her family while the trial continued, according to TMZ.
A listing on a major real estate website describes it as "one of McLean's most distinctive private estates." It stands out for its "large two-story foyer and double curved staircase. A special and dreamy property". Rental records in the listing do not include the actress' name, but show that the property was rented on May 4, 2020 for $22,500 a month.

According to Dailymail, witnesses reportedly saw Hurd at home with her sister Whitney and daughter Omag Paige.
Recall that the actor filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife for libel in an article in the Washington Post. Amber Heard accused him of physical and psychological abuse during their 15-month marriage. Johnny Depp sued her over her allegations, demanding $50 million in damages, and then she filed a lawsuit against him for $100 million.
A jury decided that Herd's statement was false, defamatory and made in a malicious manner. Punitive damages of $15 million were awarded in the actor's favor. Hurd won one of her counterclaims against Depp over comments made by his lawyer in the Daily Mail and damages of $2 million were awarded in her favor. However, after adjustments and a reduction in the amount by the Virginia Supreme Court, the actress is required to pay $8 million.
However, Amber Heard plans to appeal to the court as she is unable to pay the huge amount of damages. Herd's lawyer also insisted that the jury was influenced by public opinion, particularly social media, despite strict court orders not to read anything about the case outside of court.
"There is no way they were not influenced," she said. "It was horrible and it was really, really one-sided," referring to "the Roman Coliseum."
