The hashtag justiceforjohnnydepp has received nearly 7 billion views across TikTok and regularly trends on Twitter, as fans create supercuts from trial footage which are edited to make Amber Heard's accusations seem unfounded.
The excitement was palpable on the sidewalk behind the Fairfax County Courthouse on a recent Thursday morning, even in 39-degree temps with a below-freezing wind chill. That didn't matter to the steadily growing group of spectators who start gathering here in the early-morning hours, because they would soon get the briefest glimpse of Johnny Depp's face. He arrives every day in a black Cadillac Escalade. Fans have learned that he will roll down the window and wave.
The trial has now shifted into Heard's version of events, which may well mean that Depp's fans - some of whom have been previously admonished by Judge Penney Azcarate to quiet their vocal support for the 58-year-old actor while sitting in the courtroom - will have to summon even more discipline to hold back their feelings about Heard. Some of them have been rooting for Depp since his "21 Jump Street" days in the late 1980s. To say the least, they don't believe her.
In some ways, Lewis said, what we're witnessing is the "apotheosis of participatory culture," the idea of fans taking an active and communal role in the object of their fandom. And because it's played out on social media, the trial "feels like reality television, played out across TikTok and Twitter and YouTube," Lewis said, which can make Depp and Heard feel "more like avatars than real people.
They also simply don't believe he did anything wrong. Multiple people interviewed for this story at the courthouse refuse to entertain the idea that Heard's allegations are true, and they dismiss the details of Depp's drug and alcohol use, which have been discussed at length by Heard's attorneys.
