Johnny Depp (Johnny Depp) and his ex-wife Amber Heard (Amber Heard) of the century defamation lawsuit finally came to a verdict, although both were found guilty, but public opinion is almost one-sided in favor of Johnny Depp.
Following the conclusion of the case, a number of feminists warned that the efforts of the global #MeToo movement over the past few years could be wiped out.
