During the trial, which was televised, many memes and jokes appeared on social media about Depp and Heard.
Amber Heard and her supporters were subjected to “one of the worst cases of cyberbullying and cyberstalking by a group of Twitter accounts” during the Johnny Depp defamation trial, a new study has found.
They largely praised Depp and criticised his ex-wife, while Heard said she felt she was being unfairly criticised.
Last month, a jury found that Heard had defamed Depp on all three counts and awarded him $10m (£8m) in compensatory damages and $5m (£4m) in punitive damages.
