Emily Jashinsky, Culture Editor at The Federalist, then suggested that even though Johnny Depp has an army of online fans, the social media reaction to Amber Heard was not “predisposed”. Jashinsky pointed out that everyone watched the trial live from the courtroom and shared their opinions based on the videos.

Kelly then brought up Heard’s comment about not blaming the jury because she understood that Depp is a “beloved character and a fantastic actor.” Heard claimed that the jurors came to their conclusion after listening to testimonies from Depp’s “paid employees."

Eliana Johnson, Editor-In-Chief at Free Beacon, chimed in that the jurors would not be impacted by social media as they were not allowed to access the same during the trial. Megyn Kelly criticized Amber Heard’s interview further and said:

She continued to comment on how Heard’s perception of the jury as a ‘helpless group’ of people who could not form their own opinions was strange.

Although Megyn Kelly’s comments have gained traction online, Amber Heard has not responded to them.
