Amber Heard's Sister Calls Out MTV Over Johnny Depp Appearance
pride.comThis year’s MTV Video Music Awards may have had some memorable queer moments, but there was one bold decision that polarized viewers — an appearance by Johnny Depp.
And many people wasted no time in calling the show out about the bewildering move, including Amber Heard’s sister.Rumors that Depp would be included in the show started buzzing days earlier.
When the time came, he appeared digitally, with his face superimposed on MTV’s iconic moon person, quipping, “I needed the work.” It’s a tentative — and bizarre — step back into the limelight following the defamation trial against his ex-wife for writing an op-ed about domestic violence back in 2016.
Despite previously losing a similar case against The Sun, allowing him to be forever branded a “wife beater” in the UK without fear of legal repercussion, a jury of his peers ruled in his favor this time around.However, the real trial played out in the court of public opinion, with self-proclaimed legal experts, fans, and curious onlookers poring over the evidence presented and reaching wildly different conclusions while turning something extremely serious into pure spectacle.
