The defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard was of public character. There was direct live streaming of it on TV. That is why many people across the globe were able to listen to it and form an opinion on the matter. Celebrities divided and sided with one, or the other at some point in time as well.
Johnny Depp sued Amber Heard for defamation after she took part in an article released in the Washington Post where she ‘spoke up’ about sexual and domestic violence.
Johnny Depp’s Celebration Post Getting Unliked Massively – Celebrities Unlike It After Unsealed Documents Emerge
After the victory in the defamation lawsuit, the actor took to Instagram to celebrate. He shared the news and thanked his fans for their support. However, now, reports emerge that it is noticed how some celebrities had removed their likes from Johnny Depp’s celebration post on Instagram.
The ‘switching sides’ allegedly has to do with the leaking of the unsealed court documents. These documents contain some stuff that is so gross and unpleasant to read/see that even the most hardcore Depp fans are now having second thoughts.
The documents reveal that the Pirates of the Caribbean actor states that Amber Heard had never actually caused any harm to him. There are some photos that he submitted as evidence that underwent some photoshopping. And last but not least, he tried to submit some photos of completely naked Amber Heard as evidence in the trial.
Additional to this, we witnessed some disturbing SMS conversations between the actor and Marilyn Manson, Depp’s close friend.
In the 1st of June Instagram post, Johnny Depp thanks the judge and jury of the trial for helping him return his life. Initially, this sounded so innocent and righteous that many people liked and shared it. However, now after the documents leaked, Depp doesn’t seem as innocent as before.
It is reported that there is a massive unlike button pressing ongoing on the controversial post. Amongst the people that remove their like we can see many ‘regular people’, but many celebrities as well.
Bella Hadid, Zoey Deutsch, Halle Bailey, Joey King, Sophie Turner, and the list goes on. Orlando Bloom, Robert Downey Jr., and Yungblud are just some of the names that unliked the post.
In the end, the whole trial might turn up to be a massive ‘free advertisement’ for Johnny Depp. Since the beginning of the trial he has gained more than 8 million followers on Instagram solely. Trial ‘shorts’ were shared massively on social media and hashtags including his name started a new trend on Twitter.
After the verdict, Amber heard took to social media as well. She wrote – “Even somebody who is sure I’m deserving of all this hate and vitriol, even if you think that I’m lying, you still couldn’t look me in the eye and tell me that you think on social media there’s been a fair representation. You cannot tell me that you think that this has been fair.”
“I don’t blame the jury.” – Heard states. “I actually understand. He’s a beloved character and people feel they know him. He’s a fantastic actor.”
Will Depp’s support now turn into despising? Will we finally get to the truth of what exactly happened?
