Actor Johnny Depp won a high-profile defamation case against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, on Wednesday. Following his victory, followers filled Twitter with congratulations, using the hashtags #TruthWins, #HeWon, and #JusticeForJohnnyDepp. On social media, many celebrities, including Actress Disha Patani, and singers Sophie Choudry, Sona Mohapatra, among others, congratulated him on his victory.
"No one can ever replace you," remarked Patani, who shared a photo of Depp's character Jack Sparrow from the film ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’.
Mohapatra tweeted about the case and called Heard a “selfish woman”.
Choudry posted a quote from Depp on her Instagram Story, “Tell the world, I Johnny Depp, a man, am a victim too of domestic abuse. See how many people believe or side with you.' 6 years later, he told his truth and he won both in and out of court. #Abuse has no gender, #Justice for Johnny Depp, #Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard.”
