Actor Johnny Depp, 58, decided to create a profile on TikTok after winning the defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard, 36. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star arrived on the social network this Monday (6) and already has 3.5 million followers.
Depp joined the platform after receiving great support from fans and netizens during the process with videos posted on the network. YouTube channels and TikTok accounts dedicated to commenting on legal matters or analyzing body language began to mass serve Depp-friendly content.
As the entire process was televised, a lot of material was made available to internet users and was used, especially in favor of the actor and against Heard. The actress even said that she felt humiliated and faced hundreds of death threats daily after her testimony.
Depp emerged victorious from the defamation trial he disputed with ex-wife Amber Heard, but he will not get the R$50 million (R$240 million) compensation he asked for in the lawsuit. The final value was US$ 8.35 million (R$ 40 million).
Lawyer Elaine Bredehoft said Heard “absolutely cannot” pay damages, and said the actress’ next step – who received $2 million – would be to appeal the verdict. In addition, the lawyer also pointed out that she has already spent more than US$ 6 million (R$ 28 million) in legal costs for the trial.
The actress’ assets are not public knowledge and information varies widely. The website Celebrity Net Worth calculates US$ -6 million (about R$ -28 million). Fox Business says US$ 8 million (R$ 40 million). In Forbes magazine, which makes the list of the 100 richest celebrities, the actress’s name never appeared.
