Celebrity gossip is always fun—but it’s been a while since an incident happened where people were more invested than they currently are in the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.
The very public trial between the ex-spouses began on April 21 and revolves around a defamation lawsuit that Depp filed against Heard in 2019 about an op-ed she wrote about domestic abuse in 2018. Depp is suing because he claims that the article hurt his career to the point where he may not be able to come back.
The trial is supposed to last about six weeks, but it’s already garnering so much attention, mostly for people on Depp’s side. It’s really drawing attention to the fact that men, contrary to popular belief, can indeed be victims of domestic violence.
Alas, here are some of the top Twitter reactions that people had to the trial so far. If you’ve been keeping up to date on the details, you’ll probably appreciate these the most!

If Amber Heard is going to depend on her acting skills to gain sympathy in this trial then she is doomed cause Kristen Stewart had better facial expressions in Twilight than this #IStandWithJohnnyDepp pic.twitter.com/FeEPz4vUO6

If you want to know how the Johnny Depp v Amber Heard defamation trial is going, all you need to know is that Amber lawyer objected to a question he asked.

fr people saying “they’re both in the wrong, they were both toxic” yeah sure, morally speaking. this is a defamation case. it’s not to prove “johnny depp isn’t toxic” it’s to prove “johnny depp isn’t a woman beater and amber heard knowingly lied”

I have been watching a lot of the Amber Heard, Johnny Depp trial and with the stuff coming out about Jada Pinkett it really makes me realize that we talk so much about toxic masculinity but never about toxic femininity. Maybe it’s time to start. #JusticeForJohnny #MensRights

The Johnny Depp trial highlights a very important and unspoken problem in our society – that men are often the victims of domestic abuse too. In 2016 I also was in an abusive relationship and I’m grateful I got out. Never be afraid or embarrassed to speak out.

Amber Heard drinking wine constantly at home while Johnny was trying to stop his drinking use was not a very nice way to support her husband, that’s all i’m gonna say. #JusticeForJohnnyDepp

Johnny Depp saying “I once gave Marilyn Manson a pill so he would stop talking so much” is the funniest thing I have heard in awhile.

#JohnnyDepp probably walked out of court with a light heart today. He laid down his burden before the whole world in a legal way. He declared to be a victim of domestic violence, as Amber Heard had encouraged him to do. And he did! Congratulations to him and his courage! pic.twitter.com/JR1JoPh57x

Amber Heard’s lawyers just made Johnny Depp listen to a recording of himself expressing the desire to self harm. This was the point she drove him to, and he’s reliving it all now. He deserved so much better. Hold him in your heart today, with all those who’ve suffered abuse. pic.twitter.com/kSozQj8ZLU
