People are wondering if Amber Heard could return to Hollywood as the actress just lost a blockbuster defamation case to her ex-husband Johnny Depp, leaving her with a $15 million damages bill.

Many analysts believe there is no way back for the "Aquaman" actress in Hollywood, claiming that the shocking six-week court fight has rendered the 36-year-old star "too icky for a studio," raising concerns about her future earnings.

Throughout the trial, Heard stated that the matter had tarnished her name, exposing how the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star suing her prevented her from pledging to contribute her promised $7 million to the American Civil Liberties Union.

However, according to entertainment business analyst Kathryn Arnold, who testified, Heard has already lost almost $50 million in potential profits as a result of the highly publicized trial.

However, the jury determined yesterday that Amber Heard defamed Johnny Depp, and she is now facing other challenges in addition to her court loss.

According to the Daily Mail, Hollywood execs are not going to consider her for parts in the future.

Concerning her finances and income, the actress and witnesses are well aware that she is experiencing financial difficulties. However, the tremendous outpouring of support for Depp may cause businesses and companies to avoid her entirely.

Heard is also anticipated to struggle to meet her financial obligations, especially those she made to the ACLU. The financial strain may potentially put an end to her activist career, which has seen her support groups for women's rights.

The payment for the damages may potentially require her to sell some of the assets she received from her divorce from Depp, including a $570,000 remote house in Yucca Valley and a Range Rover.

However, according to lawyer Sandra Spurgeon, Heard will have 30 years to pay for the cost of the massive damages, but the key issue remains - how can she fund the total amount?

"He's [Depp] in the driver's seat right now," the analyst told CBS MoneyWatch.

"If the winning party seeks to execute the judgment, there is a serious concern for an individual who cannot pay the judgment and cannot post the bond."

Another alternative is to provide a share of Amber Heard's future profits from TV series or movies to her ex-husband until the debt is paid off.
