“I knew that the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case would become a Twitter gender war. Remember, anyone can be a victim of domestic abuse, be it a man or a woman. Congratulations to Johnny Depp,” music producer Taye tweeted. Armenian singer Malena wrote, “Thanks to Amber Heard it will be even harder for women of REAL physical and sexual abuse to speak up in the future. She tried to weaponize a good cause for her own benefit.”



 



 



 



 

Meanwhile, Depp, 58, said he was 'humbled' by the court's judgment in a statement issued immediately after the verdict was announced. He said, "Six years ago, my life, the life of my children, the lives of those closest to me, and also, the lives of the people who for many, many years have supported and believed in me were forever changed. All in the blink of an eye."



 

LaKeith Stanfield, Zoe Saldana, Emma Roberts, Gemma Chan, Bella Hadid, Taika Waititi, Jennifer Aniston, Henry Golding, Joey King, Riley Keough, and Jason Momoa, who co-stars with Heard in the 'Aquaman' flicks, are among the several celebs who have liked Depp's official remark on social media. Momoa also liked Heard's statement on her Instagram page, leaving followers perplexed about his feelings towards the case.



 

On Wednesday, June 1, a jury convicted Heard guilty of defaming her ex-husband with an essay in which she claimed she had been the victim of domestic abuse. Depp was given $15 million in compensation and punitive damages, while Heard was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages after winning one of three counter-claims against her ex-husband.
