Johnny Depp, who won the defamation case against his former wife Amber Heard recently, has joined TikTok where the first video he uploaded was dedicated to fans.

The actor thanked his loyal and unwavering supporters. The video clip showed footages of crowd gathered outside the court, waiting for Depp during his trial against Heard. Depp's fans are seen holding banners with affectionate and loving words for the actor.

Another clip is from the actor's stage performance in London when he joined his friend Jeff Beck during his concert. Depp received a standing ovation from the audience. Song 'Stranger' by Love Joys plays in the background of the TikTok video as we move from one footage to another.


The 58-year-old actor took to his official Instagram account to share the TikTok video with the world. In his post, Depp talked about moving forward and called the fans his "employers".

"Once again I am whittled down to no way to say thank you," the actor wrote.

Further in his emotional letter to supporters, Depp thanked them for caring about him.

"To all of my most treasured, loyal and unwavering supporters. We’ve been everywhere together, we have seen everything together. We have walked the same road together. We did the right thing together, all because you cared. Now, we will all move forward together. You are, as always, my employers and once again I am whittled down to no way to say thank you, other than just by saying thank you. So, thank you. My love & respect, JD," Depp wrote.

A Virginia jury ruled that Heard defamed Depp in a widely watched six-week trial that featured explicit and graphic evidence and testimony detailing the former Hollywood couple's soured relationship.

The jury awarded Depp $15 million in damages from Heard. The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star had sued Heard for $50 million and argued that she defamed him when she called herself "a public figure representing domestic abuse" in a newspaper opinion piece.

The actor has denied hitting Heard or any woman and said she was the one who turned violent in their relationship.

On the other hand, Heard, a 36-year-old actress, countersued Depp for $100 million, saying he smeared her when his lawyer called her accusations a "hoax."

Depp and Heard met in 2011 while filming 'The Rum Diary' and wed in February 2015. Their divorce was finalized about two years later.
