For Toronto-based photographer Whitney Heard, a bizarre case of mistaken identity led to unexpected attention, and eventually, a relationship that changed her life.It all began in 2017, when Whitney, who shares a name with Amber Heard's actual sister, started receiving fan mail intended for the actress.At first, it was innocent enough, but as the highly publicized defamation trial between Amber Heard and her ex-husband Johnny Depp unfolded from April 11 to June 1, 2022, things took a bit of a turn, and Whitney found herself at the centre of an online storm."I started getting spam emails, DMs, comments, and even phone calls," Heard told blogTO back in 2022.
