Johnny Depp in the recent defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard, have made joint talk show appearances following the conclusion of the trial.On Wednesday, the two made appearances on ABC’s “Good Morning America” and NBC’s “The Today Show” to discuss the case, which ended last week with both Depp and Heard being awarded compensatory damages, albeit with Depp receiving significantly more.On “Good Morning America,” the two were asked by George Stephanopoulos about two points brought up several times by Heard’s camp and victims’ advocate groups.
When asked if social media swayed the jury, Chew responded, “My role is that social media played no role whatsoever. This was a decision made by the jury on the evidence presented by both sides, and as Camille said it was overwhelmingly in Mr.
