As you probably know, actor Amber Heard dealt with a barrage of vilification — particularly on TikTok — during this year’s televised court trial after Johnny Depp sued her for defamation.
But the tide may be turning after newly unsealed documents about the trial were released last week, which reportedly suggest that some of the photos Depp’s team submitted to the court had been edited, and include an admission from Depp that Heard never caused him any physical or mental harm.
Some of the companies that the thread identified as participants in the “global humiliation of Amber Heard” are below.
Milani Cosmetics
“Milani Cosmetics, a makeup brand, made a TikTok video suggesting Amber is a liar after its product was used as a prop in the trial,” the Twitter thread reads. “This encouraged millions of people to participate in the smear campaign against her.”
The thread explains however that Heard just used one of their products while on the witness stand to explain how colour correcting works, rather than suggesting that she used that product specifically.
Sydney Bakery ‘Dessert Boxes’
Don’t think that we didn’t get involved! Sydney bakery Dessert Boxes apparently got in on the action, making a cake shaped like a hand with a cut off ‘finger’, referencing the oft-cited allegation that Heard cut off Depp’s finger with a vodka bottle when they were married. A vodka bottle was also included in the box.
Australian bakery ‘Dessert Boxes’ made a hand-shaped cake for Amber. They cut the “finger” using a vodka bottle which they included in the box. The bakery reportedly read: “We’ll cut off the finger with a vodka bottle, throw that in for her, too.”
A quick once over of the Dessert Boxes’ Instagram page also reveals some generally misogynistic energy, including a lot of dick-shaped cakes with captions like “you can’t get enough vitamin D”.
Lidl
The German supermarket chain Lidl also recently featured a commercial that mocks footage of Heard giving sexual assault testimony on the witness stand.
Starbucks
Starbucks stores all over the world reportedly used tip jars labelled ‘Johnny Depp’ and ‘Amber Heard’, and encouraged their customers to cast their ‘vote’. According to photos included in the thread, the Johnny Depp tip jars were often decorated with hearts or emblazoned with the words ‘Justice for Johnny.”
Bad Monday
The clothing brand Bad Monday is slinging shirts on their website that feature the words “my dog stepped on a bee”, from Amber Heard’s sexual assault testimony when she was describing the reason for taking her dog to the vet after alleging Depp forcibly cavity searched her for drugs.
At the time of writing, the website also features a picture of a model who is seemingly imitating Amber Heard’s facial expressions while on trial.
August
August, a US period product band who reckon they’re “working to re-imagine periods”, reportedly posted a TikTok where they use audio of Johnny Depp’s testimony from the trial to promote a pad.
