Less than a week after working his multimillion-dollar defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, Johnny Depp on Tuesday offered a glimpse of the court proceedings from his perspective — literally and figuratively.
“We did the right thing together, all because you cared,” Depp wrote to his hardcore fan base today in a posting on social media. Along with words of praise to his “most treasured, loyal and unwavering supporters,” he posted a video shot from inside his car showing him waving to fans outside the Virginia courthouse that served as ground zero of the contentious and often-explicit six-week trial.
The deftly edited footage, accompanied by a reggae-beat soundtrack, also shows Depp onstage in the UK performing with Jeff Beck.
When the jury went into deliberations May 27, Depp leapt across the pond for a short stint backing up guitar virtuoso Beck on his current tour. As a result, to the outrage and dismay of many, Depp did not return to the U.S. before the June 1 verdict was read.
Attorneys for Heard have said that they have plans to appeal the ruling by the seven-person Virginia jury, which found in favor of all of Depp’s defamation claims and awarded him more than $10 million in damages. Heard succeeded on one of her counterclaim points and was awarded $2 million.
Even before the trial, Depp’s voluminous, self-described “Deppford Wives” fan base vehemently supported his side while attacking Heard online. Hundreds of Depp fans showed up daily in front of the Fairfax County Courthouse to offer support to Depp, who often interacted with the crowd while arriving to and departing from the venue.

Depp is also including two original songs, with one song titled "This Is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr" as an homage to the actress. "It’s an extraordinary honor to play and write music with Jeff, one of the true greats and someone I am now privileged enough to call my brother," Depp said in a statement on Thursday, which also marks the actor's 59th birthday. Beck had unofficially teased the LP at a concert appearance last week, according to Variety.
