THE BEAST

A short time after the verdict was made public,   Turner   took to his social media to write: "Having followed the   Depp   vs   Heard   trial with great attention and detail and coupled with my own personal experience, I believe I can make an educated judgment in favor of   Mr. Depp .

"The World must understand that IPV (Intimate Personal Violence) is not selective to a particular gender, it can affect anyone, anywhere at anytime. A victim has no gender specifics...Period. #MENTOO!"

Another musician who weighed in on the verdict is   AEROSMITH 's   Joe Perry , a bandmate of   Depp 's in the   HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES . He wrote on   Instagram : "Proud and happy for   Johnny s huge win today. We never doubted anything, we always knew the truth, and that the truth would prevail… Congratulations on getting your life back today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Depp , 58, sued   Heard , 36, for $50 million, alleging she defamed him in   The Washington Post   column in which she described herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse." His lawyers said he was defamed by the article even though it never mentioned his name.

Heard   filed a $100 million counterclaim against   Depp   for statements made by his former lawyer   Adam Waldman , who accused   Heard   of staging an "abuse hoax" in the   Daily Mail . The jury found   Heard   proved defamation on one of the counts her legal team brought in its counterclaim.
