Julia Fox bashed online to support Amber Heard
According to TrasheCultural, a Spanish gossip outlet, Julia Fox shared her take on the highly publicized Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard defamation case.
In the statement, the 32-year-old model took a dig at Depp alleging that he is manipulating Heard’s life.
She said that Depp is ‘so in love with her and this is clearly a sick way of controlling her life by suing her all over the world.’
Meanwhile, a screenshot surfaced in which Fox mentioned that while Heard might have hit Depp during their relationship it should not be called abuse.
The circulating post on social media read, ‘Wrong. She never had the power in the relationship to be abusive to him. Did she hit him? Yes. Was it abuse? No. You need to have the power to be able to abuse it. She was 25. He clearly was always way more powerful including physically and financially.’
Twitter users react to Julia Fox supporting Amber Heard
Many Twitter users were not impressed by Julia Fox’s comment on the controversial defamation trial. Her stance further started a heated debate on the social media platform between the two groups of polarised fans.
Multiple users slammed the model for her comment with a few saying that she is attempting to stay ‘relevant’ after going out with Kanye West.
One of the users pointed out, ‘Abuse is abuse. Claiming physical abuse doesn’t count because someone is younger or female or not in a position of power is insane.’
