Johnny Depp’s courtroom drama came to an end when he won his case against his ex-wife Amber Heard. However, the never-ending online speculations about courtroom photographs with Johnny’s name are here to stay.
This time, we were drawn to a sponsored Facebook advertisement depicting Johnny in the courtroom with a stash of CBD candy. So, did Johnny actually eat or promote these CBD gummies?
The paid Facebook ad also included a piece from a prominent publication stating that Johnny had promoted CBD gummies. “Big Pharma Outraged Over Johnny Depp’s Latest Business Venture — After He Won The Defamation Trial!” runs the headline.

Clinical, Condor, Eagle Hemp, Green Otter, Liberty, Oros, and Smilz are just a few of the CBD gummies recommended in this article. So, while the bright candy attracted a lot of attention, was Johnny actually eating CBD Gummies or was it all a hoax?
Johnny Depp and his gummy stash: CBD or normal gummies?
In the last few days, a slew of rumors and bogus news about the actor has surfaced on the internet. The aforementioned Facebook ad is the latest craze among internet users. While many photographs of Johnny eating what appears to be gummies have been posted, the news story that has been shared on Facebook is completely false. During the trial, Johnny did not promote any CBD gummies.
Johnny was, in fact, simply savoring his gummy bears. While it may be funny to some, the photographs show Johnny stacking his gummy bears in a pyramid and occasionally snacking on them.
His team actually surprised him w. them

CBD gummy businesses frequently utilize phony Google reviews and imagery to create false sponsored articles that appear real in order to entice potential buyers. Johnny Depp isn’t the first celebrity whose image has been abused. Many other internet personalities and celebrities have had their photographs, videos, and identities inadvertently exploited in CBD brand marketing, implying that the celebrity is a fan of the brand. Oprah Winfrey’s name, for example, was tied to a weight-loss gummy brand that was later revealed to be a fake.
The last few months have been filled with rumors about Johnny’s work and personal life. A YouTube video with a cover image of Johnny singing a song recently became popular. Johnny Depp-Hallelujah was the title of the video.
It turned out to be fake news, despite the fact that it was advertised as a song sung by the Pirates of the Caribbean actor.
Another courtroom footage was revealed, in which Johnny Depp joked about having Tourette’s condition. Spreading rumors and speculations about the actor’s health caused a lot of excitement, but they were all false.
