Which celebrities have supported Johnny Depp?
- Vanessa Paradis: “We were partners with Johnny Depp for fourteen years and raised two beautiful children together. He is a generous, caring, kind, and non-violent man. I know the accusations that Amber Heard made publicly. This is nothing like the Johnny I know He was never violent or abusive towards me.”
- Penélope Cruz: “I was always impressed by his kindness, his brilliant mind, his talent, and his sense of humor. I have seen Johnny in different situations and he is always kind to everyone. He is one of the most generous people I know. I recorded ‘ Pirates of the Caribbean’ during my pregnancy, my husband and I will never forget his sweetness, protection, and kindness during that time.”
- Sharon Osbourne: “It takes two to tango. I think they had a vulnerable relationship. They are both bad for each other. She gave as well as received. I have no idea who did what, but I know they both drank and it was a relationship toxic”.
- Sia: “I want to show my public support for Johnny Depp. I listened to those audios and he is the victim of everything”.
- JK Rowling: “Based on our understanding of the circumstances, the filmmakers and I are not only comfortable keeping our actors but happy to have Johnny playing one of our characters. “
- Javier Bardem: ” I support Johnny because I always saw him as a kind and attentive man. An extraordinary artist who listens to everyone who needs his help. Not only do I love Johnny, but I also respect him deeply and I thank him for being that boy free in his art, and the kind and mature man in his daily life”. “I love Johnny because he is a good human being, caught up in the lies and manipulations of toxic people.”

- Winona Ryder: I understand that it’s very important that I speak from my experience, even though I wasn’t there at his marriage to Amber. My experience was different. I was very shocked, confused, and upset when I heard the accusations against him. The idea that he is a violent person is the furthest thing from the Johnny I knew. I cannot understand these accusations. He was never violent or abusive towards anyone. I honestly only know him as a kind, loving, generous man and a very protective boy of me and the people he loves. I felt very safe with him.”

One hour before the reading of the verdicts
The verdicts are expected to be read at 4:00 p.m. (Argentine time), in the Court of Fairfax, Virginia.
To reach that instance, the civil jury of seven members had to reach a unanimous decision. The jury has reached a verdict in the $50 million defamation lawsuit brought by Johnny Depp against his ex-wife Amber Heard, who testified that Depp physically and sexually abused her on multiple occasions.
The jury also reached a verdict on Heard’s $100 million counterclaims against Depp. She said that she was smeared when a lawyer for the actor called the allegations of abuse against her fabrications.

Appeal: It is a very likely route because the reputation and career of two great movie stars are at stake.
Waiting for the resolution, expectations are growing and there is much speculation.
Neither of them will be declared guilty or innocent since it is not a complaint of abuse, assault, or rape. The judge will rule if it was Johnny Depp or Amber Heard who defamed.
Case Highlights
After days of deliberation, today, June 1, the final verdict could be known in the defamation case between Johnny Depp and his ex-wife, Amber Heard. Here are some highlights from the trial over the last six weeks.
The seven members of the jury – five men and two women – began deliberating on Friday, at the end of six weeks of testimony in the court of Fairfax, a small town near Washington. They resumed this Tuesday because Monday was a holiday in the United States.
But in more than nine hours they have not reached a decision and will resume deliberations on Wednesday morning. Johnny Depp has traveled to the United Kingdom to participate, Sunday and Monday, in two concerts by British singer Jeff Beck.
A spokeswoman for Amber Heard did not want to confirm “at this time” if the actress would be present when the verdict is announced.
The jury reaches a verdict
It’s about time… After more than thirteen hours of deliberation, the jury has reached a final verdict, which will be read in Fairfax Court in the next hour: At 3:00 pm ET.
It is a matter of minutes to know the jury’s decision. Amber Heard will be present, but Johnny Depp will not.
Last Friday, May 27, the defense of both parties presented the final arguments and the jury began the deliberations.
The seven people who make up the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict on Friday and activities were paused for the long weekend for Memorial Day, so they resumed until yesterday, Tuesday, May 31.
After more than nine hours of deliberation, the jury did not reach a verdict, so this Wednesday, June 1, the third day of deliberation is taking place

What is known about deliberation?
The deliberation process is being carried out with secrecy, so not much is known about it. Yesterday, Judge Penney Azcarate met with the legal team of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, without the celebrities present.
Contrary to what many thought, the meeting was due to doubt of the jury at the time of deliberation and not because there is already a final verdict. The jury wanted to clarify whether the headline should be considered on its own and not in the context of the entire opinion piece. Depp’s legal team replied that yes, the headline of the article written by Amber should be considered on its own.
In the headline, Amber claims to have been a victim of sexual assault. The jury, questioning this, may not believe her testimony, which means a slight bias in favor of Johnny. This has been the only update of the process.
What time is the jury’s verdict?
The jury has finally reached an agreement in the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, at 9:00 p.m. Spanish time, the result of this media trial will be announced.

Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial: What form does the jury have to fill out when sentencing
Currently, the seven members of the jury are deliberating. To do this, the jury must fill out a 42-question questionnaire that will lead them to make a unanimous decision. The document was released by the Fairfax court and shows 24 questions for Depp’s claims and 18 for Heard’s counterclaim. This verdict form is used to formalize the jury’s decision on the case.
The possible scenarios for the final verdict of the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard
Johnny Depp demands 50 million dollars from Amber Heard as compensation for damages. If the jury decides to dismiss Johnny Depp’s civil lawsuit, the actor would lose the case and not receive the money he seeks, while Amber Heard would not be required to pay her legal fees, which are another considerable sum.
Could the verdict be known today?
From April 11 to May 27, the ex-couple has seen each other week after week in the courts of Fairfax, Virginia, where the jury has heard both sides of the story and is now preparing to give a final verdict.
Due to the Memorial Day holiday weekend, the jury resumed deliberation yesterday, Tuesday, May 31. Reaching a final decision could take hours, even days, so it is not known exactly when the verdict will be announced, although it is expected to be today, Wednesday, June 1, after three days of deliberation.
