Regardless of the star’s troubled previous, riddled with allegations, his religious followers received’t place a bounty on his head. In reality, the polarizing trial appeared to deepen their love for the person behind Sparrow, they usually would possibly even take up arms for him.
Depp apologists lined the courthouse block, tenting in a single day on the bottom simply to catch a glimpse of their favourite buccaneer in courtroom. Diehard followers spent hundreds on flights and journey bills simply to snag a front-row seat, whereas others supported Depp on-line by spamming Heard’s witnesses with hate.
Even supporters of Heard couldn’t catch a break, receiving an onslaught of misogynistic messages on-line, whereas Depp devotees had been ousted from the courthouse for threatening Heard.
