Drama During Trial
The drama and fury surrounding the trial, which was live-streamed to the public, finally spilled outside of court, with fans initiating social media campaigns, producing memes, and even feeding rumors of a courtroom romance.
- The outpouring of support for Depp was also visible outside the courthouse, as supporters lined up with signs and cheered for the actor at the start of each day's proceedings.
- As word of the verdict spread on Wednesday, fans went to social media to express their joy and send messages of support to the celebrity.
- The trial succeeded in clearing Depp's name in the public's eyes, but it may not have had the same effect on his career.
- Depp has become a difficult client to handle over the years due to his ‘unprofessional behavior' on set, as some witnesses, including former agent Tracey Jacobs, said in the trial.
- ‘Showing up late to set regularly; on almost every film.' I'd be screamed at.
- I never told him he was a difficult client; instead, I told him straight out that he needed to stop doing this because it was harming him.
- While the conclusion of the trial might potentially restore Depp's career, crisis public relations expert Juda Engelmayer told Insider before the jury's ruling on Wednesday that it could still have an impact on the types of roles he is offered in the future.
- ‘I don't think it'll be suitable for children.' ‘I believe his role will change,' he said.
- ‘He'll be cast in independent films or films in which he plays a nasty man, a criminal, or a mobster,' says the actor.
