Nearly a week after the much-anticipated verdict concluded the high-profile legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, the actor took to his official social media accounts to share a video thanking his supporters.
The ruling declared Heard guilty of defamation and ordered her to pay fifteen million dollars to her ex-partner. While Depp also faced legal consequences, a significant portion of public opinion considers him the victor in this legal dispute.
Expressing his appreciation to the millions of supporters worldwide who stood by him during the trial, Depp posted a heartfelt video on his official Instagram account. Alongside the video, he wrote, "To all my most precious, loyal, and unconditional followers. We've been everywhere together, we've seen everything together. We have walked the same path together. We did the right thing together, all because you cared. And now, we will all move forward together. You are, as always, the reason for my work and, once again, I have no way to say thank you, other than to say thank you. So thanks. My love and respect, JD."
This isn't the first time Depp has addressed his followers post the trial against Amber Heard. Immediately after the verdict, he released a statement expressing gratitude to those who have supported him throughout the legal battle. In his statement, he reflected on the profound impact of the false allegations against him and the subsequent media storm that changed his life and career.
The actor acknowledged the challenges he faced in pursuing the case and emphasized that his primary goal was to reveal the truth, irrespective of the outcome. He shared his sense of peace, having achieved this goal for his family and loyal supporters. Depp expressed gratitude for the overwhelming love and support he received, hoping that his quest for truth would inspire others facing similar situations.
He concluded the statement by thanking the judge, jurors, court staff, bailiffs, and his legal team, stating that the best is yet to come as a new chapter in his life begins.
