A controversial cameo. Johnny Depp joined the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards as a hologram astronaut — and Amber Heard‘s sister made it clear she doesn’t approve of the appearance.
Whitney Henriquez took to her Instagram Stories after the Sunday, August 28, awards show to weigh in on the prerecorded bits. “@MTV you’re disgusting and clearly desperate! I really hope that none of the people that made this call have daughters…” the 34-year-old captioned a photo that read “I Stand With Amber Heard.”
Henriquez also included the hashtag “DVMAs,” seemingly making a reference to domestic violence.
Throughout the awards broadcast, Depp, 59, appeared in virtual form several times. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor channeled the VMAs trophy — a Moonperson — and hung from the ceiling of the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. “You know what? I needed the work,” he teased before the first award of the night was announced.
At a later point in the ceremony, Depp returned with another quip: “Hey VMAs, let’s get back to the f–king music, shall we?”
Toward the end of the show, the Sweeney Todd star joked about taking the odd job. “I just want you guys to know that I’m available for birthdays, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, weddings, wakes — any old thing you need. Anything. You name it,” he said. “Oh! I’m also a dentist.”
The VMAs were one of Depp’s first major public appearances since winning his defamation case against Heard, 36, in June. The former couple were married from 2015 to 2017, but their drama continued after their split when Heard penned an op-ed for the Washington Post in 2018 and identified herself as a survivor of domestic abuse. While she didn’t specifically name Depp, the Edward Scissorhands actor sued his ex for $50 million.
