“It’s so obvious basing on his character that he is a good guy and watching all the… everything that has come out of the trial so far has only been in his favour.”
The Swedish YouTuber went on to react to a video clip of the trial where Heard explained herself on the witness stand. PewDiePie went on to say that the Aquaman actress was making irrelevant statements during the trial.
He then reacted to Amber Heard’s now-viral claim of “my dog stepped on a bee.” PewDiePie said in his video that he believed that the actress had rehearsed her statements prior to appearing in the trial. He added-
“It’s so bizarre. What the f**k is she doing to her face.”

The YouTuber then reacted to the viral fake video of Jason Momoa appearing in the defamation trial.
PewDiePie ended his video by saying:
“I feel like you can easily get swept up with being charming and still being bad people. I feel like that’s a common thing. People can hide bad personalities through charm but it is also very clear that… how to differentiate those kind of people and I feel like Johnny has none of those traits.”
He ended his video by saying- “Justice for Johnny.”

Johnny Depp is suing his ex-wife and actress Amber heard for $50 million after she wrote an op-ed piece for The Washington Post in 2018 where she claimed that she was a victim of domestic abuse. Though the actress did not mention Johnny Depp’s name, his attorneys have argued that the article has made it difficult for his career. Following Depp's case, Amber Heard has counter-sued him for $100 million.
Both the parties gave their closing arguments in the Fairfax, Virginia court on May 27. As the trial has come to an end, the seven-member jury is expected to make a unanimous verdict. The exact date of the verdict being announced remains unclear.
In closing arguments, Depp’s attorney’s asked jurors to “hold Ms. Heard accountable for her ‘lies.’”
Amber Heard’s team continued to claim that the Pirates of the Caribbean star was the abuser in their relationship.
