Johnny Depp appeared to grin at his former girlfriend after she testified in the defamation trial of his ex-wife, Amber Heard, on Wednesday, and his smile received a notable reaction from many on social media.
Heard is being sued by Depp for $50 million for defamation regarding an opinion piece she wrote in 2018 in which she claimed—without naming Depp—that she was a victim of domestic abuse.
The actress mentioned supermodel Kate Moss on the witness stand when alleging a rumor that Depp pushed Moss down a flight of stairs during their relationship 20 years ago.
Because of the mention, Moss was asked to testify to discuss the rumor, and the model quickly denied that she was ever pushed down the stairs by Depp.
After her very short testimony, which came by video, Depp appeared to smile at the screen.
Many on social media delighted in his reaction and praised Moss for debunking the rumor, which was brought up by Heard first during Depp’s 2020 libel trial against The Sun newspaper, which he sued after the paper called him a “wife-beater.”
One Twitter user reacted to Depp smiling, writing: “Johnny Depp showing genuine emotions after seeing Kate Moss testify on his behalf. He couldn’t stop looking at the screen when her testimony finished. He might have actually cried; It’s difficult to tell. Wow. Just, Wow. Thank you, Kate Moss. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
This is a breaking news story and will be updated when more information becomes available.
