Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard: Popular Streamer Pokimane Gets Major Backlash for Meme Mocking Domestic Abuse

The Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial has become a widespread issue that even popular content creators have shared their reactions to the highly-publicized case.

Imane "Pokimane" Anys recently jumped on the controversial trial with an "unbiased" watch party of her own, according to a WIN report.

She was, however, later accused of taking sides in the case and faced backlash.

The Depp-Heard has been circulating across social channels on Twitch and within the media for the past few months.

Pokimane decided to watch the trial like other popular streamers during a recent stream. She entitled her broadcast "UNBIASED WATCH PARTY."

However, she later claimed on Twitter that she was on Johnny Depp's side. She then questioned whether Heard was truly "protecting her abuser," as her lawyers claimed.

Some of her followers took offense to Pokimane calling Heard a liar while mocking her during the "unbiased" live stream.

Pokimane's reactions also brought an issue about Twitch streamers using the ongoing trial as entertainment.

Pokimane on Amber Heard and Johnny Depp Trial

Pokimane is not the only Twitch personality reacting to Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard case.

Game Rant reported that streamers such as Asmongold, xQc, and HasanAbi have also been trying to keep up with the courtroom action.

Pokimane has removed from her page a meme inspired by The Office featuring the character Pam Beesly, with a photo of Heard's face, pointing out how lighting can alter how things appear.

The Office character in the photo claim that both images are the same.

Many retweets of Pokimane's post still exist, while some fans reminded her that the lawsuit is not about Heard's accusations of domestic abuse from the end of Depp.

Many felt that using a serious court case regarding physical and emotional abuse as "entertainment" was inappropriate.

Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard

Amber Heard is being sued by Johnny Depp for $50 million for suggesting that he abused her in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed.

Heard did not name him; however, he claims that her allegations had affected his ability to work.

Independent reported that testimony has been given by the Aquaman actress' friends, as well as her sister, acting coach, and makeup artist.

All of them testified either seeing her injuries or alleged altercations with Depp.

Depp's long-time friend had spoken about a jealous streak in the actor on Thursday, with Depp's former agent saying the actor had romanticized drugs and constantly showed up late to sets, which affected his career.

Depp's former business manager described his "increasingly dire financial situation," and "erratic behavior" when it comes to drugs and alcohol.

Meanwhile, experts have warned that memes and videos mocking Heard displayed the "deep hatred" and distrust of women while revealing rampant misogyny.

Psychologists awaiting case hearings are considering "retracting or pulling out" after seeing online harassment of Heard regarding the case.

Meanwhile, Depp's attorney has claimed that the video taken by Marilyn Manson "demolished" Heard's allegations that she was abused by Depp.
