The back and forth between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard continues. After Depp posted a new TikTok video (which, by the way, has already racked up millions of views), Heard’s rep took time to respond. According to People, a representative for the “Aquaman” actor had some pretty harsh words for Depp and his newfound TikTok fame. “As Johnny Depp says he’s ‘moving forward,’ women’s rights are moving backward,” the spokesperson said. “The verdict’s message to victims of domestic violence is … be afraid to stand up and speak out.”
The new statement was similar to what Heard released on Instagram just moments after she found out that she had lost in court. “I’m even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women,” she wrote in a lengthy statement. “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.”
Heard’s sister, Whitney Henriquez, has also remained by the actor’s side amid this difficult time. A few days after the verdict, Henriquez shared a photo of the hashtag “#istandwithamberheard” and accompanied the picture with a lengthy caption. “I still stand with you, sissy. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow I will always be proud of you for standing up for yourself,” she wrote, applauding her sister for speaking out and adding that she was “so honored to testify for you.” Per NBC News, Heard has plans to appeal the verdict.
