Even after her ex-husband Johnny Depp won the defamation lawsuit months ago, American actress Amber Heard still receives media attention. Fans of the latter claim that the court favoured the latter in the trial and did not render the proper verdict. As a result, they keep coming up with new theories to further their bias, the most recent of which refers to the verdict as being the product of western media propaganda.
Fans of Amber Heard are calling the verdict in the defamation trial unfair.
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp’s long-running legal dispute was turned around when the defamation trial got underway. The 36-year-old actress has been painted negatively since the trial began as details have emerged. In addition, a lot of secrets came to light, including previously leaked documents that revealed more about her past.
Her supporters were adamantly opposed to the idea of the actress losing the case even after the evidence had been presented to the court. Her supporters are protesting the verdict now that it has already been rendered, claiming that social media was responsible for the trial’s outcome.
One of her supporters used the example of Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, to support her argument. Since joining the royal family, the latter has faced widespread public criticism and been the target of racial slurs and slander, according to the unversed.
Fans of heard shared that women are frequently the target of media attention in their statement and included a royal member to support their claim. The Western media fabricated Depp’s victory in the courtroom, and his supporters did the same by standing by the actor rather than challenging their “motives.”
Empowered woman who dare to stand up for themselves are the greatest threat to the reigning patriarchy. The witch hunt only exist because MEN ARE AFRAID OF WOMENS POWER. Keep up the good work ladies #WomenShouldRule #EmpoweredWomen #MeganMarkle #IBelieveAmberHeard

People's susceptibility to propaganda is genuinely scary because ya'll are too busy pointing the finger at dictatorships when western media does the exact same thing but of course people here don't see it. These women are great examples of victims of media propaganda.

Not just her admirers, but the Aquaman actress herself, agrees that the defamation lawsuit verdict was unfair. She previously revealed to Savannah Guthrie of NBC that “I think (the) vast majority of this trial was played out on social media.”
The actress attacked her ex-husband in an op-ed, which caused the Internet to split into two opposing camps. The majority, however, defended Depp while disparaging the actress on the platform.
A Quick Note on the Defamation Case Against Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.
Heard wrote an opinion piece in The Washington Post the year after the couple split up, claiming she was a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” She didn’t specifically name the actor, but despite the fact that he was then one of Hollywood’s most well-known actors, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor’s career was severely hurt as a result.
He then sued his ex-wife for defamation, seeking $50 million from her for damaging his reputation, and the actress countersued him for $100 million. The jury found in favor of the 59-year-old actor, awarding him $10.35 million in damages, while the former received $2 million for her counterclaims.
