For instance, one security guard claims he had to retrieve an iPhone from a homeless man after Amber Heard threw out of a window during a party one night. The story picked up traction in the entertainment news circuit because of the details of the transaction.

The guard said he had to give the homeless man several hundreds of dollars, chicken tacos, bottles of water, and other miscellaneous food items.

The story came not long after it was reported that Johnny Depp had jokingly referred to Amber Heard as “Amber Turd,” after she supposedly defecated in his bed. A maid claimed she had gone into his bedroom morning to discover human feces in the master bed.

Amber and her friends denied pooping in the bed, claiming it was her dog instead.
