Numerous people followed the court proceedings online or in person as Johnny Depp’s defamation case against Amber Heard dominated the news media. The play has been extremely entertaining thus far, with “hearsays” flying nonstop and “did I read that right? becoming a jokey question in a serious situation where the lives of two individuals may alter. We are unsure of how the legal system will be tipped, for better or worse, at this time.
We can be sure that Johnny Depp’s supporters have gone above and beyond to show their love for him. In an effort to make Depp’s day more enjoyable, one of them brought a couple of alpacas. You did read that correctly.
To support Johnny Depp in his multi-million dollar defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard, who had accused him of physical and sexual assault in a 2018 Washington Post story, many people have traveled to Fairfax, Virginia. As a result, he missed out on numerous movie prospects, like the Pirates of the Caribbean and Fantastic Beasts series, and his name was widely tarnished in the media.
On April 19, the fifth day of the hearing, Depp took the witness stand and referred to Heard’s allegations as “heinous,” “disturbing,” and “not grounded in any species of fact.” It is still uncertain how the case will turn out because there are still a number of weeks to go and Heard’s own testimony to be presented.
Many people have watched the trial, some even traveling to Virginia to see the stars, but hardly everyone brings a pair of alpacas to court. Dolce and Inti, two canine companions belonging to Andrea Diaz, were seated outside the courtroom.
The brown and marbled alpacas were completely at ease as they nibbled on the grass close to the courthouse while wearing colorful neck ornaments and scarves. Dolce was even wearing a banner that read “Justice for Johnnie” around his neck. Even if there is an error, the intention is what matters.
According to Andrea, the error was made entirely by accident. She was too excited to notice the minor blip on the sign because she had always written the name “Johnnie” and was accustomed to doing so. Before she realized she had the sign up for five minutes, it had already been too late because the images and the interview had already been taken. Andrea tweeted her regrets while maintaining a positive attitude.
She stated to The Washington Post, “I felt the alpacas could brighten his day,” and in an additional interview with Law & Crime Network, “I thought Johnny Depp was going through a lot.
As the actor regularly enters and leaves the courthouse through a gated, black entryway, it is unknown if he was aware of the two alpacas. However, it appeared that Amber Heard’s lawyer had seen them.
On Wednesday, April 20, he questioned Depp: “The fact is, Mr. Depp, nothing in this world would induce you to go back and work with Disney on a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ film? If Disney came to you with $300 million and a million alpacas? Correct? A million alpacas… You do wonder what goes through someone’s mind to question that, but I think, it’s got its purpose, especially as it seems Johnny used similar terminology in a previous interview. Depp responded, “That is correct, Mr. Rottenborn.” Since then, alpacas appear to be following him.
When Andrea heard the question outside of the courtroom, she found it amusing and said to herself: He can certainly visit and pet these guys, but we’re not Disney! ”
According to The Washington Post, Andrea founded a company during the epidemic called “My Pet Alpaca” to deliver comforting animals to children and cheer them up. She hoped she could do the same for Johnny Depp.
Andrea expressed her optimism and belief in Johnny’s victory to Bored Panda, saying, “He deserves justice after all this time. She didn’t want to say much about Amber, but it doesn’t seem likely that Andrea will accept her testimony given that she told Bored Panda that “her lawyers appear to be all over the place and not have any evidence.” It must be dreadful to have your life exposed like this for the world to see.
I hope everything goes well, we’re here for you, she said as she concluded the interview before sending a message to Johnny.
Devoted admirers have been there for the star from the beginning, and it seems they won’t be leaving anytime soon, according to a recent video that Andrea shared on their TikTok account. Teddy and Truffle appeared to be the other two alpacas demonstrating their love and support for Johnny.
For those who are interested, alpacas are basically little, cuddly llamas with a highly relaxed disposition that can assist soothe and calm anyone in need. Llamas and alpacas are increasingly being used as emotional support animals, especially since alpacas thrive in household environments.
Alpacas, according to Andrea, are naturally gentle and cuddly, just like real-life stuffed animals. She said, “They really made [her] feel terrific for the rest of the day! ”
Mona Sams, an occupational therapist in Virginia who works with eight llamas and five alpacas, claims that her animals work particularly well with children and adults who have developmental problems. One patient with severe cerebral palsy and seizures “actually sits there” with a llama named Woolly, according to Mona, “for a whole hour, face to face.”
Truly, spending time with animals is therapeutic for the soul, especially if they are loving and understanding.
