Amber Heard could be in big trouble with the law down under
This doesn’t sound very promising for the Magic Mike XXL star.
Actress Amber Heard has been charged with two counts of illegal importation and one count of producing a false document.
Yes, this is in relation to the alleged dog smuggling she and husband Johnny Depp have been charged with in Australia in May.
The owner of Boo and Pistol (Yorkshire terriers and very cute) was charged under the Australian Quarantine Act. She apparently was not following the correct procedures on entering the country.
29-year old Amber was in Queensland to visit husband Johnny who was filming the latest Pirates of the Caribbean film.
Back in June, Amber told the Sunrise breakfast program she would not be visiting Australia any time soon after their little legal snafu.
“I have a feeling we’re going to avoid the land down under from now on, just as much as we can, thanks to certain politicians there,” she said in the interview.
If Amber is found guilty of the charges, she could face up to 10 years in an Australian prison.
At the time, a minister for agriculture in Australia made the news worldwide when he said the dogs could “bugger off back to the United States” and if not they would be put down.
Speaking with ET in an interview not too long ago, Amber said that her dogs were with her in the U.S, “despite attempts by rogue thug Australian government officials, they are alright.”
She says she brings Pistol everywhere she goes, and both dogs are fine. In case you were wondering, the stress has not impacted their lives negatively. Phew!
It has not been confirmed whether the pups with accompany Amber when she heads back down under in September to appear at Southport Magistrates Court.
