Ron Schnell, a social media forensic expert, said he analyzed negative tweets about Amber Heard and Johnny Depp between January 2018 and January 2021, which totaled 2.38 million.
The majority of negative tweets against Amber Heard came in April 2020, when Heard accused Johnny Depp’s attorney, Adam Waldman, of leaking stories about her online that claimed she was lying about being a victim of domestic abuse.
The hashtags targeting Heard included #JusticeForJohnnyDepp, #AmberHeardIsAnAbuser, #AmberTurd, #WeJustDontLikeYouAmber.
The spike for anti-Depp tweets, which included the hashtag #JohnnyDeppIsAWifeBeater, only spiked on November 2020, Schnell said, when Depp lost his libel lawsuit against The Sun, which described him as a ‘wife beater.’
Heard is countersuing Depp for allegedly orchestrating a smear campaign against her to ruin her reputation and career.
Michele Mulrooney, Amber Heard’s former attorney, is the next person to take the stand and testify in the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation trial via video deposition.
She testified about Heard and Depp’s post-nuptial agreement that she was drafting, which would have seen the couple split their assets equally.
Mulrooney claimed that Depp became angry about the proposed agreement and suddenly called her to put an end to it.
‘My recollection is that he was very mean,’ Mulrooney said. ‘He called me names. And then he fired me on behalf of Amber.’
‘He called me a b***h…I thought he was under the influence. His voice was slurred.’
