Amber Heard's sister Whitney Henriquez blasts 'desperate' MTV for letting Johnny Depp appear at VMA
Whitney Henriquez, a sister of Amber Heard, blasted MTV for letting Johnny Depp appear at the Video Music Awards on Sunday, August 28. Henriquez wrote on her Instagram story, "@MTV you're disgusting and clearly desperate! I really hope that none of the people that made this call have daughters.” Her remark was followed by a picture of her sister and the ‘DVMA’ emblem, both of which included a Moonman. Henriquez tagged her post with the hashtags #DVMAS and #IStandWithAmberHeard. The hashtag #DVMAs seemed to be a reference to domestic abuse.
Earlier, Depp made a surpise appearance during the awards show broadcast, through pre-recorded footage. In a silver spacesuit dangling above the stage, he made his appearance as the network's sculpture of the Moonman. Depp could be heard in a voice-over, saying, “I just want you guys to know that I'm available for birthdays, Bar Mitzvahs, Bat Mitzvahs, weddings, wakes, any old thing you need.” Depp made a few appearances throughout the awards show broadcast from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

According to Daily Mail, Johnny had his first significant appearance on US television at the MTV Video Music Awards after appearing as a guest on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' in 2017. Depp over his long career has won five MTV Movie Awards, including Best Male Performance, Best Villain, Global Superstar, and the Generation Award in 2012. Following the rulings, Depp collaborated with other organizations besides MTV. He is back to being the face of Dior Eau Sauvage and will make an appearance in a future Netflix movie on Louis XV of France. Depp also will direct an upcoming film about Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, co-produced by Al Pacino and Barry Navidi.
Meanwhile, Henriquez also gave a trial testimony earlier during the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp defamation trials. During a six-week trial in Virginia, Heard and Depp squared off in cases including libel and defamation. Depp filed a lawsuit against Heard for her role in the publication of an op-ed in The Washington Post in which she claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse.
On June 1, the jury's ruling was delivered, concluding that both Depp and Heard had defamed one another. But Depp was strongly favored by the verdict. Three of his claims against Heard were successful, and the jury awarded him compensatory damages of $10 million and punitive damages of an extra $5 million. Meanwhile, the jury gave Heard one victory out of her three counterclaims and granted her $2 million in compensatory damages.
