10 million people react to Johnny Depp's statement after defamation lawsuit verdict

Shorty released a statement on social media after winning a defamation suit against ex-wife Amber Heard.

Within five hours, his Instagram post was liked by more than 10 million people, which contained his statement.

A US jury on Wednesday found both Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard liable for defamation — but sided more strongly with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star after riding an intense trial over bitter allegations of domestic abuse .

The verdict limited the trial to six weeks riddled with false claims and counterclaims among Hollywood celebrities.

A seven-member jury in Virginia awarded the 58-year-old actor $15 million in damages after finding that a 2018 article Heard wrote about his experience of "sexual violence" was defamatory to Depp.
