‘She’s aging just as badly as him’: Amber Heard Fans Make Ageist Comments Against Pretty Little Liars Star Ashley Benson for Supporting Johnny Depp
The Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial verdict has received feedback from a number of celebrities along with the fans of both celebrities.
It was a trial where the American actor and musician sued his ex-wife for $50 million over her 2018 Washington Post op-ed. According to reports, the jury concluded their deliberations after three days, with Depp getting the upper hand. While the American actress who is also a humanitarian and social activist is said to have tasted a partial victory.
As per reports, John Christopher Depp II aka Johnny Depp was to receive $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages after the jury found his ex-wife guilty of defamation. In lieu of punitive damages, Heard only received a $2 million compensatory damages award.
Social media comments on the legal dispute appeared to be overwhelmingly in favor of the City of Lies actor, with many expressing their complete lack of faith in the Aquaman actress’ claims.
One such celebrity among Depp’s supporters was Ashley Benson of Pretty Little Liars fame, who posted a picture of the Minamata actor on Instagram with the caption “Yessss“, expressing her support for him.

How did Hollywood react to Johnny Depp-Amber Heard verdict?
The trial involving Johnny Depp and Amber Heard has received a lot of attention online, which explains why the verdict was so widely publicized. The trial was expanded into a larger debate on domestic violence and marital abuse. After six weeks of hostility, accusations, and denials, it was evident that the relationship was ‘very dysfunctional.’
The Pretty Little Liars actress Ashley Victoria Benson joined a number of celebrities in supporting Depp on social media, including LaKeith Stanfield, Jennifer Aniston, and Jason Momoa, who co-starred with Heard in the Aquaman movies.
The confidence of celebrities was more obvious in the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides actor.

Now, recent comments directed at Ashley Benson for standing by Depp during the trial are making rounds. One of Heard’s fans tweeted, “she’s aging just as badly as him,” referencing her and Depp’s growing age.
