'Cheap shot': Raven Symone dubbed 'gross' for mocking Amber Heard's abuse claims in video before taking selfie with her

The Disney star quipped at one point, 'Cut my finger off and see if she'll claim it'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Raven Symone was excoriated on social media after a 2021 video resurfaced showing her mocking Amber Heard at a vehicle charging station. The clip was reportedly filmed in April 2021, a year after Johnny Depp lost his libel battle against ex-wife Amber and The Sun newspaper

Raven, 37, and her wife Miranda Maday, 35, were seen in the video realizing that they'd parked next to the 'Aquaman' star and discussed how they could draw her attention while making jokes about her abusive relationship with Johnny. The Disney star quipped at one point, "Cut my finger off and see if she'll claim it," referring to Johnny's claim that his ex-wife severed his finger by hurling a bottle of vodka at him.

'Oh my god, she's crying!'

Raven also noted in the video that Amber was in distress, commenting, "Oh my god she's crying!" before Miranda joked that the actress was "probably on the phone with her lawyer." Raven also poked fun at Amber's then-girlfriend Bianca Butti, saying, "There's Amber and her lesbian lover... oh my god. She looks like Johnny Depp!" The 'That's So Raven' star initially tried not to be noticed by the embroiled actress, but she later ran out and scored a selfie with her.

Miranda recounted the episode inside the vehicle, "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." Raven then joked, "Can't go anywhere! I was like, 'Babes, unplug the car, we gotta go!' [Amber] doesn't know who I am, so everything's good.  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 video was uploaded, but it has gone viral again after fans shared it on Twitter. 

'This is gross'

Fans of Amber weren't having any of Raven's antics, no matter how old the clip was. "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," one tweeted.

"Wow. This is gross. I thought raven was gay why did she say lesbian in a homophobic way," another added.

"Even if you're not an Amber Heard fan or supporter. She's still a human being. 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 toward her," someone else offered.

"Just a cheap shot, yeah. Thinking this will make her popular with the horde of Depp fans," another chimed in.
