London, Europe Brief News – Actor Johnny Depp is making social media moves after winning his defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard.
The 58-year-old actor has officially joined TikTok and already has a massive following.
Depp joined the social media platform days after his six-week trial against Heard ended, with the jury unanimously deciding that he was defamed by the 36-year-old actress and that she “acted with actual malice.” Depp — whose account is verified with a blue check mark — currently has over 3 million followers.
He posted his first video to TikTok, along with a message to his fans.
“To all of my most treasured, loyal and unwavering supporters. We’ve been everywhere together, we have seen everything together. We have walked the same road together. We did the right thing together, all because you cared. And now, we will all move forward together. You are, as always, my employers and once again I am whittled down to no way to say thank you, other than just by saying thank you. So, thank you. My love & respect, JD,” read the note.
In the video, Depp is seen waving to fans from his vehicle. There are also scenes of him playing his guitar onstage and preparing for his performance backstage.
Actor Johnny Depp has thanked his fans, six days after winning a contentious defamation trial he brought against his former wife, actress Amber Heard.
Coverage of the trial, largely in Depp’s favor, dominated the social media app, sparking viral soundbites and trends.
The video is Depp’s second public statement since a jury unanimously ruled in his favor in the defamation trial.
Depp and his lawyers argued that Depp was defamed by a December 2018 Washington Post op-ed Heard wrote in which she described herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.”
While the article never mentioned Depp by name, Depp’s lawyers said the content implied the article was about Depp.
Heard also countersued for libel based on statements Depp’s attorney made to publication Daily Mail, calling her accusations of abuse a hoax.
