Raven-Symoné under fire as video mocking Amber Heard abuse claims resurfaces
Raven-Symoné has been accused of being “petty and mean” over a resurfaced video where she mocked Amber Heard.
The That’s So Raven star has come under fire for a clip that was filmed back in April 2021 – a year after actor Johnny Depp lost is “wife beater” libel case with his ex-wife Amber and The Sun newspaper.
The resurfaced video shows Raven, 37, realise she’s parked next to Amber while in the car with her wife Miranda Maday.
They are then seen couple thinking of ways to get her attention while mocking her reportedly abusive relationship with Depp.
The Cheetah Girls star laughs as she says: “Cut my finger off and see if she'll claim it,” making reference to Johnny’s claim that his ex-wife cut his finger after throwing a bottle of vodka at him.

Elsewhere in the video, Raven made fun of the Aquaman actress’ then-girlfriend Bianca Butti, commenting: “There's Amber and her lesbian lover... oh my god. She looks like Johnny Depp!”
Raven and Miranda initially attempted to not be seen by Amber, but the former Disney star eventually got out of her car to snap a selfie with the actress.
Back in the vehicle, Miranda revealed: “She gets out of the car, takes a picture with Raven and closes her door.
“As soon as Raven walks away, she goes back to her car and her car is locked, with her phone inside, her purse inside, the snacks that she was nibbling on, and her jacket.
“I watched this woman try to keep it cool and just try and act like she meant to get out of her car and close the door, turn around and then she's just like there, locked out of her car.”

'But Amber, I'm so sorry you got locked out of your car, but my picture's amazing. Thanks, Amber!'
It’s been two years since the clip was filmed but it’s caught the attention of horrified fans on Twitter since it resurfaced this week.
Shocked by the footage, one fan wrote: “This behaviour is so unhinged. You see someone in a phone call and crying, while making fun of her, then take a photo with her to further mock her.”

“Despite being in distress, Amber Heard still took a photo with this weirdo. Raven Symone, are you not ashamed of yourself?!” another slammed.

The way Raven and folks like her are treating Amber is just vile. Like Amber didn't do anything to them. And they don't know her enough to justify their actions towards her.”
A fourth blasted: “Every time I see this video of Raven mocking Amber Heard, it baffles me how she's saying 'lesbian lover' in a very shady and homophobic voice. Gurl, aren't u a lesbian too? She seems very unhappy with herself or hates herself even.”
“I saw a video of Raven mocking Amber Heard for literally no reason other than to be mean and petty earlier today,” another said.
“Raven Symone really thinks she's Regina George 'I made fun of her then took a pic with her' woof that's some mad 16-year-old behaviour lol and that's an insult to 16 year olds,” another chimed in.
Johnny Depp's lawyers said they're "pleased to close the door" on the "painful" multimillion-dollar defamation trial (POOL/AFP via Getty Images)Last month Johnny Depp's lawyers said they're "pleased to close the door" on the "painful" multimillion-dollar defamation trial with his ex-wife.
The Hollywood star's legal team, Benjamin Chew and Camille Vasquez, confirmed the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 59, will donate the money received in damages from the trial to charity.
He sued ex-wife Amber over a 2018 article she wrote for The Washington Post about her experiences as a survivor of domestic abuse, which lawyers claim accused him of being an abuser. Johnny wasn't named in the article.
In June this year, a jury at Fairfax County Court returned a verdict in Johnny’s favour and he was awarded 10.3 million dollars (£8.43 million) in damages.
Amber had appealed the decision but finally agreed to pay Johnny $1million over the weekend to settle the long-winded battle.
Amber said she was "humiliated" during the US trial. She claimed she was "exposed to a type of humiliation that I simply cannot re-live" as she called for a "re-trial with a new jury".
