This is not the first time that Johnny’s supporters have been called out for problematic behavior online.
Johnny Depp’s Fans Are Being Called Out For “Harassing” His Daughter Lily-Rose Depp During His Defamation Trial Against Amber Heard
In 2018, Amber Heard wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post that detailed her experiences as a survivor of domestic abuse.

Jacopo Raule / GC ImagesInstead, the incredibly public trial, which is taking place in Virginia, began last month and is being meticulously followed by people across the globe.
Paul Morigi / Getty ImagesIn fact, many social media users have come under scrutiny for creating memes out of the very serious domestic abuse allegations, as well as turning audio snippets from Amber’s tearful testimonies into viral TikTok sounds.

During her testimony, Amber said that Johnny had physically, sexually, and emotionally abused her throughout their relationship, which began in 2012. She has recounted some of the alleged encounters in detail, with photos of her injuries and text messages also being submitted as evidence.

Throughout his four-day testimony earlier in the trial, Johnny denied ever hitting Amber and accused her of being the aggressor in their relationship. Audio recordings that he made during their violent encounters have been shared.

Paul Morigi / Getty ImagesAt times, their behavior has been called out for being problematic and trivializing the severity of the allegations against him — particularly when they filmed themselves reacting to Amber’s sexual assault allegations and claimed that she was describing “every woman’s fantasy.”

And Johnny’s supporters came under scrutiny again over the weekend when it was revealed that some are bombarding his 22-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose Depp, with abusive Instagram messages for not publicly supporting her father.
Taylor Hill / WireImageLily-Rose has not posted to her social media account since before the trial began, but her previous posts have been targeted. A now-viral tweet shared a screenshot of just some of the comments that the user spotted on the model’s Instagram page.

Twitter: @thisisnotahmad“I see not one picture of you with your father. WHY??” demanded one follower. Another wrote: “How come you did not speak out about your father’s case!”
Twitter: @thisisnotahmad
Twitter: @thisisnotahmadOther comments showed Johnny’s supporters asking Lily-Rose how they can get in touch with his legal team to offer help in the trial.
Twitter: @thisisnotahmadSocial media users were quick to share their shock as they reacted to the tweet that initially drew attention to these comments, with one tweeting: “Y’all harassing her over a man y’all have never met. Parasocial relationships are a disease. Y’all have no consideration that maybe all this is difficult for her, y’all feel entitled to her time & energy. It’s sick.”

Sharing a throwback photo of Johnny helping her walk when she was still a baby, Lily-Rose wrote at the time: “My dad is the sweetest most loving person I know, he’s been nothing but a wonderful father to my little brother and I, and everyone who knows him, would say the same.”
Jun Sato / WireImageLily-Rose has also been mentioned by both Amber and Johnny during the trial, with Amber claiming that Johnny was hiding his drinking from his children during a trip to the Bahamas on July 9, 2013. In addition to Lily-Rose, Johnny is father to a son, Jack, now 20.
Toshifumi Kitamura / AFP via Getty ImagesAmber alleged that he was physically abusive toward her while they were on a yacht, and shortly afterward, she and Lily-Rose left the island together via helicopter.
Jun Sato / WireImageMeanwhile, Johnny claimed that Lily-Rose did not have a good relationship with Amber and was absent from their 2015 wedding.
Stephane Cardinale – Corbis / Corbis via Getty Images“My daughter, Lily-Rose, did not come to the wedding. She and Ms. Heard were not on particularly great terms, for several reasons,” he told the court. He also claimed that Amber would tell him that his children didn’t like him and called him a “bad father.”
Jim Watson / POOL/AFP via Getty ImagesCountering his claim that the children actually didn’t like her, Amber shared a 2013 email that Johnny sent to the singer Elton John, where he also called the mother of his children, Vanessa Paradis, a “French extortionist cunt.”
Jeff Kravitz / FilmMagic, Inc“On the other side of the coin…my kids have fallen head over heels in deep love with Amber (my girl) and that pressure off my shoulders is fucking gone!!!” the email read. “That is unlike the French extortionist (ex cunt) attempts to brainwash them against her…which, I’m sure is imminent.”
Michael Reynolds / POOL/AFP via Getty ImagesJohnny was with Vanessa for about 14 years, between 1998 and 2012, and she submitted a declaration in defense of him during his 2020 trial against the Sun.
Kevin Winter / Getty ImagesIn the court documents, she wrote: “I have known Johnny Depp for more than 25 years. We’ve been partners for 14 years and we raised our two children together. Through all these years I’ve known Johnny to be a kind, attentive, generous, and non-violent person and father.”
Stephane Cardinale – Corbis / Corbis via Getty Images“I am aware of the allegations which Amber Heard has publicly accused Johnny of for more than 4 years now. This is nothing like the true Johnny I have known, and from my personal experience of many years, I can say he was never violent or abusive to me,” she continued.
Pascal Le Segretain / Getty ImagesJohnny’s relationship with Amber began shortly after his split from Vanessa, and he reportedly gave her $100 million after their breakup to avoid a court battle.
