Depp just joined Tiktok two days ago and fans were patiently waiting to see what his first post was going to be. The actor shared a video of his supporters outside the court house during their trial and captioned the video saying, “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. My love and respect, JD” 

A spokesperson for Heard issued a statement in response to his Tik-tok saying, “as Johnny Depp says he’s ‘moving forward,’ women’s rights are moving backward. The verdict’s message to victims of domestic violence is … be afraid to stand up and speak out.”

As we previously reported, Depp was awarded $15 million by a jury for defamatory allegations  made by Heard. (Due to Virginia law, he will only get $10.35 million.) In a 2018 op-ed, Heard claimed that she was as a survivor of sexual and domestic violence. Although the Aquaman star, 36, did win part of her counterclaim against Depp, the verdict is considered a resounding win for the actor.

Following the verdict of their viral trial Heard released a statement where she explained how the verdict was a setback for women.

“I’m heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband,” she said. “I’m even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women. It is a setback. It sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated. It sets back the idea that violence against women is to be taken seriously.”
