Johnny Depp recently sued his ex-wife, Amber Heard, for defamation. Her US trial against Heard was considered a victory as the jury found Amber Heard defamed Johnny Depp by publicly accusing him of domestic abuse, and found Depp proved Heard lied about her allegations.
During the trial, many witnesses took the stand, including Johnny Depp and Amber Heard herself.
Amber’s sister, Whitney Henriquez, also took a stand to defend Amber and continued to support the “Aquaman” actress after the trial.

“I still stand by you bro,” Whitney wrote in an Instagram post over the summer. “Yesterday, today and tomorrow, I will always be proud of you for standing up for yourself, for testifying here in Virginia and in the UK, and for being the voice of many who cannot speak about what goes on behind closed doors. the door.”
Now, Whitney is speaking out against harassment following the trial, saying the world is “misogynistic.”

It’s been five months since the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial ended, but Amber Heard’s sister, Whitney, says the harassment continues.
“To say that my faith in humanity has been called into question since the trial/judgment would be an understatement…,” Whitney wrote in an Instagram post yesterday. “Not only does it highlight some pretty big flaws in the judicial system, it also shows how deeply misogynistic the world is and how harassment of anyone who speaks up or has a different opinion is tolerated (just look at some of the comments on my post, and it’s obvious this one ?).”
Whitney goes on to say how scared she is to raise her children in this kind of world. “It’s a world I fear raising my children in, and every day it seems harder to navigate and deal with,” she wrote.

In the post, Whitney shared several photos showing a list of organizations and individuals who have signed an open letter in support of Amber Heard.
He concluded with, “Until today…. Seeing this letter signed by over 130 experts and organizations is now a much needed breath of fresh air. Finally, the tide is ebbing… Finally! #istandwithamberheard”
Amber Heard’s Open Letter of Support
MEGA
As of Wednesday, November 15, more than 140 organizations and individuals have signed an open letter in support of Amber Heard against “persistent online harassment.”
“Much of this harassment is fueled by misinformation, misogyny, biphobia and a monetized social media environment where a woman’s allegations of domestic violence and sexual assault are ridiculed for entertainment,” the letter said. “The same misinformation and victim-blaming tropes are now being used against others who claim abuse.”
“In our opinion, the Depp v. Hearing decision and the ongoing discourse surrounding it demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding of intimate partner and sexual violence and how survivors respond to it,” the letter continued. “The damaging consequences of spreading this misinformation are incalculable. We have grave concerns about the increasing misuse of defamation suits to threaten and silence survivors.”
The letter concluded with “We support everyone’s ability to report intimate partner and sexual violence without harassment and intimidation.”
