Sombre Amber Heard steps out amid claims Vanessa Paradis called her a 'man-stealing nobody' for dating Johnny Depp

By Sarah Bull

She's had a difficult few weeks after claims that she's the reason for Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis' split.
So it's no surprise that Amber Heard struggled to raise a smile as she stepped out in Burbank, California, yesterday.
The 26-year-old actress looked downcast in a white linen shirt and black maxi skirt as she was spotted leaving the Western Costume Co alongside a female friend.

However, Amber's sombre mood is perhaps understandable considering claims that Vanessa has labelled her a 'man-stealing nobody' following her reported relationship with Depp.

Anger: Vanessa Paradis has reportedly labelled Amber a 'man-stealing nobody' for having a hand in her split from Johnny Depp

Vanessa is said to have told friends she is determined that Amber, who was first linked to Depp when the pair starred together in movie The Rum Diary, will not bond with the pair's children, Lily-Rose and Jack.
A source told Now magazine: 'Vanessa's devastated that Johnny's dumped her. She blames Amber and calls her a man-stealing, two-bit nobody and has vowed to not let her anywhere near their children.'
Vanessa and Depp announced their split last month following a 14-year relationship, causing reports of a romance between the actor and Amber to heat up.
According to reports, Amber, 26, has been a 'regular visitor' to the New Mexico set of The Lone Ranger where Depp has been shooting the movie.
A source claims Depp is smitten by the Hitchcock blonde, and reportedly said:' When I first saw Amber, it was like seeing an old-time movie star like Lauren Bacall.'
Whereas Amber described her role as his love interest in the film, The Rum Diary, as 'the best experience of my life.'
Speaking about Depp she told Dazed magazine: 'He’s such a wonderful presence; he is enigmatic and compelling and a true artist, seriously intelligent and incredibly sensitive.
'Everybody on set respects and likes him, which says a lot about an actor. It’s a grueling job at times and the stress level that everybody feels in the industry is intense – but it doesn’t affect Johnny.
'It seems like he has time to look everybody in the eye and I like that, it was wonderful to see.'

Putting on a brave face: Vanessa was seen at her first red carpet event since the split announcement as she attended the premiere of her new movie Je me Suis Fait Tout Petit in Paris on Monday

And following the claims, a source told Us Weekly magazine that the pair are '100 per cent dating', adding: 'He treats her really well.'
Meanwhile, Vanessa was seen making her first post-split red carpet appearance at the premiere of her film Je me Suis Fait Tout Petit in Paris on Monday night.
The actress flashed photographers a smile as she posed with her co-stars at the event, and looked groomed and effortlessly chic in jeans and heels with a black T-shirt, silk blazer and layered gold necklaces.
