In the latest weird conspiracy theory surrounding Johnny Depp’s blockbuster defamation trial. Against ex-wife Amber Heard, some social media sleuths have already declared a victor — and believe the defence has as well.
Who is Johnny Depp?
Johnny Depp, 58, accuses Amber Heard, 35, of hurting his public reputation. And hence his career, by writing an op-ed in the Washington Post alluding to domestic abuse he’d supposedly inflicted. He’s asking the court to order the “Aquaman” star to pay $50 million in damages, plus $350,000 in legal fees. It’s evident these two had a tumultuous relationship. Based on the pile of horrific evidence already shown in the Fairfax, Virginia, courtroom where the trial is still ongoing.
What are Johnny Depp’s fans posting on TikTok?
Nonetheless, Johnny Depp fans — many of whom have started a #JusticeForJohnny hashtag on TikTok. Which has garnered 245.6 million views as of Wednesday night. Are so convinced of his innocence that others are now theorising that even Bredehoft may be part of a ruse. To prove his innocence.

Cultish Johnny Depp fans on TikTok are posting now-viral footage of the “Lone Ranger” star from behind a red carpet barricade during the flop film’s 2013 London premiere — which looks to show a familiar-looking, camera-toting foreigner gazing at Johnny Depp. The star-struck girl bears an uncanny similarity to none other than Amber Heard’s lawyer, Elaine Bredhehoft, according to TikTok detectives.
What was the reaction of fans? Advertisement
In less than a week, the TikToker who started the super-fan myth has amassed over 11 million views and sparked a heated argument in the comments. Another nasty commenter said, “I’m confident she become her lawyer to see him.” Those rooting for Johnny Depp to win were buoyed by the dubious fan findings. One apparent fan added, “I cannot tell you how hard I laughed seeing this.” “I’m hoping Amber Heard sees this.” “It doesn’t matter if she likes him or not,” one viewer said, giving Bredehoft the benefit of the doubt. Amber Heard hired her, and it is her responsibility to defend her.”
