  • The "Aquaman" star made a racist tweet two years ago
  • Heard was emotional when she said she grew up with immigrants at her home

Amber Heard is accused of being racist after allegedly staging a protest photo to show her support to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Just recently, Heard was under fire after sharing a photo of her taken from a protest on Instagram. Several accused the “Aquaman” star of staging it because she was photographed with a cop. Also, her facial expression was too dramatic for some.

“I'm so glad you pointed this out. She's protesting police brutality by standing in front of a police officer who seems to be acting as a de facto body guard. This pic isn't sending the message she thinks. But it speaks volumes about privileged white celebs,” one reacted.

Aside from accusing Heard of staging the photo, many also questioned her sincerity in supporting the black community. Several called her racist, and it didn’t help that her controversial tweet from almost two years ago has resurfaced.

One netizen shared a snap of Heard’s allegedly racist tweet.

“Just heard there’s an ICE checkpoint in hollywood, a few blocks from where I live. Everyone better give their housekeepers, nannies and landscapers a ride home tonight…” Heard wrote.

Due to the post, many were not convinced that Heard was sincere in supporting the Black Lives Matter movement.

“After staging a #BlackLivesMatter photo, @realamberheard continues her PR campaign in an attempt to try to make people forget how racist she is. She did the same thing with the #MeToo movement pretending to be a victim of domestic violence. #cancelamberheard,” the netizen wrote.

“She doesnt have the right to campaign for BLM and #metoo movement,” one commented.

“#AmberHeard believes that #Hispanics only work as #housekeepers, nannies and landscapers. @realamberheard is #racist to the bone and wants us to believe she cares about minorities,” another wrote while adding, “Your time is up!”

Another netizen also accused Heard of faking her concern for the black community while calling her racist. “Seriously if anyone still stans this woman after everything she’s done...i don’t know you’re disgusting if you support this woman,” the Twitter user wrote.

Meanwhile, Heard was emotional in a previous interview while saying that she was raised with immigrants.

“I was literally and figuratively raised by and with immigrants in my home and heart and life,” she told BuzzFeed.

“Trump’s policy of enacting institutionalized trauma and human rights abuses in order to push a political agenda, at best — at worst, out of apathy — and I can’t support it.”
