Since then, the excitement wore out and Amber Heard had essentially lost everything until new evidence recently came to light after Depp’s fans reportedly paid $3000 to dig out several documents that were allegedly sealed by Johnny Depp and his lawyers so as to not have them featured in court. The documents contained, on its record, a litany of text messages, inappropriate accusations, and enough statements regarding both parties to make the public pause and reconsider.

Public Remembers Johnny Depp’s Charitable Donations
The new pieces of evidence show Depp making petty and distasteful allegations against his former wife in order to gain a professional and ethical higher ground. There also exists a chain of inappropriate text messages allegedly exchanged between young women and Marilyn Manson, a close confidante and long-term friend of Depp’s. As the evidence keeps portraying Depp in a negative light, fans come to the actor’s aid by reminding the world how Heard had manipulated the claims of using her divorce settlement for charity.
Don’t forget that Johnny Depp has a wonderful record of charity donations while Amber Heard used ill children for her social merit.

Honestly, this is what makes me hope she’s thrown in jail.She basically screwed over sick children that need the services a children’s hospital provides and no stan of hers will address it.

One thing that really angered me was when AH said something like “…while I applaud his newfound interest in charitable giving (but send the $ to me directly)” after his accountant paid the first alimony payment directly to the charities.🤢

I mean, she pirated an entire victims right movement & stole our pain for popularity…so screwing over a children’s hospital is on par. Oh yeah..she also was the one to hold her puppy out the window of a moving car…so in evilness she rates up there.

More importantly, most of his generosity was done quietly, meeting individuals need. Legal fees, housing, tuition, medical. He does it out of his heart. PR team doesn’t organize shots, but miss the shots cuz it’s done with respect for modesty of recipients.#AmberHeardlsAnAbuser

The trial has not been kind to either Johnny Depp or Amber Heard within the industry or outside. Having basically been exiled from the former and criticized by the latter, the few outspoken supporters who had steadfastly remained beside Depp, have now begun to shrink back from their earlier standpoint. One of the major causal factors remains the leaked documents.
