Thousands of people tweeted Wednesday in support of Hollywood star Johnny Depp as he testified in a defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
The hashtag #JusticeForJohnnyDepp trended on Twitter around the world after details of his testimony surfaced online.
He said Wednesday that she was the one who turned violent in their relationship and that her false accusations cost him “nothing less than everything.”
On a second day on the witness stand in a Virginia court, Depp said the couple had frequent arguments that included “degrading insults” and “bullying” by Heard.
“It just seemed like pure hate for me,” Depp said. “If I stayed to argue, eventually, I was sure it would turn to violence, and many times it did.”
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star, 58, sued Heard, 35, for $50 million after she accused him of abuse.
