Rachel Riley urged to ‘stick to maths’ after arguing ‘no one should defend Johnny Depp’ | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
“Therefore, I’d say people need to pay attention to her opinion over yours. Just sayin’.” (sic)
Other social media users however agreed with the Countdown star and her claims about the case.
Galacien said: “100% agree with @RachelRileyRR. But the legions of insane Depp fans don’t see anything aside from their blinkered world view.”
It comes after Johnny took to the stand to conclude his testimony in the $50 million libel case against Amber this week.
The Hollywood actor is suing Amber for defamation over a 2018 article she wrote in The Washington Post. Johnny’s lawyers say the piece falsely implies that he physically and sexually abused her.
Amber describes herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse” in the lengthy article.
Johnny claims the article, which does not mention him by name, is defamatory and derailed his career.
He has subsequently been stripped of his Jack Sparrow role in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, along with being replaced by Mads Mikkelsen in the Fantastic Beasts films.
Amber is counter-suing her ex-husband for $100 million and the case is expected to last around six weeks.
