Ever since the trial several memes and posts all over social media are being fired on to Amber.
Amber Heard and Johnny as well. Several hashtags say #justiceforjohnnydepp #amberturd #istandwithamberheard #istandwithjohnnydepp #weloveyoujohnnydepp and so on. Right now the biggest memes of all go to Amber Heard being accused on social media of copying part of her testimony in her trial against her ex-husband Johnny Depp from the 1999 film The Talented Mr. Ripley. So, here’s a fact check into these accusations, claims, and trails.
The multi-million dollar defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is currently an ongoing gossip all over social media in which many are taking stands with Johnny Depp claiming ‘men are victims too’. So about the case, Johnny has sued Amber Heard for $50 million asserting she implicated he abused her during the marriage, which led to him losing literally everything as many companies and franchises accused him of being wrong as well.
Amber has countersued Johnny Depp for $100 million. In the trial, underway in Virginia, Amber gave her testimony this week and many sources on social media have started trolling her already some of which prove her testimonies wrong by pasting them with certain footage from her past interviews and so. This recent testimony is now claimed to be ‘copied’ from movies.
On Friday, May 6, Amber took the stand to give her testimony in the trial, detailing every aspect of her life with Johnny and how now and then he abused her for small fights and topics. Several critics alleged that Amber Heard was ‘performing for the jury’ and putting on act. A few other social media users claimed that a part of Amber’s testimony where she accuses her ex-husband Johnny Depp was ‘copied verbatim’ from a movie called The Talented Mr. Ripley.
The text was indeed similar to a line from the 1999 film, starring Matt Damon, Jude Law, and Gwyneth Paltrow. One of the accounts from Twitter shared the comparison.
But another source while checking onto it says that the actor did not actually steal the lines from or quote The Talented Mr. Ripley. In fact, the aforementioned lines do not really feature in her testimony in an exact way. Although in parts of her testimony her language and tone are similar to the line being mentioned. But one particular line from the testimony in which Amber Heard says, “When I was around Johnny I felt like the most beautiful person in the world—then he would disappear”. This is similar to the line from the film but it isn’t a ‘verbatim copy’ as accused.
