On Friday, admirers of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard gathering outside a Virginia court nearly clashed during the explosive defamation trial.

According to Newsweek, as the trial’s closing arguments started, supporters who had been camping outside the courtroom for many weeks clashed.

Videos of such situations have gone popular on social media, with the audience booing for Heard while police enforcement surrounds them.

Reuters writer Corinne Perkins tweeted a photo of Dan Kim outside the court brandishing a banner that reads “I stand with Amber” while an unnamed individual makes an obscene gesture at him on Twitter.

According to Eva Wallace, a reputation and privacy lawyer, the case is “a pop culture boxing ring that has allowed the court of public opinion to rule, unconstrained by the burden of evidence or extensive evidentiary analysis.” We witnessed this when Heard mentioned Kate Moss during her testimony.”

“Despite the live-streaming of the trial, many will get their viewpoint from brief, isolated pieces of material on social media, which may likely be carefully presented in a way to influence the viewer/reader to think a specific position,” Wallace said.”
