Johnny Depp received great support from the public when the trial with Amber Heard went public.

Earlier this month, Jack Whigham, Depp’s manager, testified that the Hollywood star lost $22.5 million after the sixth installment of “Pirates of the Caribbean” was canceled due to allegations of abuse from Amber Heard . Depp was also forced to withdraw from his role in the “Harry Potter” prequel series – “Fantastic Beasts” in 2020 after losing a trial in a defamation lawsuit against British newspaper The Sun for calling Depp a “beater” wife”.

Whigham emphasized, the article in The Washington Post by Amber Heard, self-identifying as a victim of domestic violence, had a serious impact on Johnny Depp’s career.

Win or lose, Johnny Depp still gained more than he lost, while Amber Heard became the “stepchild” of the global public.
