As Johnny Depp’s sensational defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard slogs on, some social media sleuths have already declared a victor — and believe the defense may have as well in the latest bizarre conspiracy theory surrounding the case.
Cultish Depp fans on TikTok are sharing now-viral footage of the “Lone Ranger” star during the flop film’s 2013 premiere in London — which appears to show a familiar-looking, camera-toting tourist gazing at Depp from behind a red carpet barricade.
TikTok detectives have declared the starstruck gal bears a striking resemblance to none other than Heard’s lawyer, Elaine Bredhehoft.
The embattled ex-lovers, who married and divorced between 2015 and 2016, have reunited in court as Depp, 58, accuses Heard, 35, of damaging his public reputation, and thus his career, when she wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post alluding to alleged domestic abuses he’d caused.
He’s asking the court to make the “Aquaman” star pony up $150 million in damages, plus legal fees in the amount of $350,000.
Given the mountain of disturbing evidence already revealed at the Fairfax, Virginia court where the trial is ongoing, it’s clear these two had a contentious relationship.
Nevertheless, Depp devotees — many touting a #JusticeForJohnny hashtag, which has racked up 245.5 views as of Wednesday night — are so confident in his case that some are now speculating that even Bredehoft may be in on ploy to prove his innocence.
The TikToker who launched the superfan conspiracy alone has garnered more than 11 million views in less than a week, and inspired an ongoing debate in the comments.
“Even Amber’s team are on Johnny’s side,” quipped one viewer of “Pirates of the Caribbean” star’s alleged secret weapon.
“What if she is purposely doing bad, so that Johnny can win and she actually likes him?” another theorized.
“I’m convinced she became her lawyer to see him,” snarked another commenter.
Those hoping to see Depp prevail seemed emboldened by the dubious fan findings. “I cannot tell you how hard I laughed seeing this,” wrote one apparent supporter. “I really hope Amber sees this.”
Allowing Bredehoft the benefit of the doubt, one viewer noted, “it doesn’t matter if she likes him or not. She was hired by Amber and it’s her job to defend her 🤷♀️.”
