A jury has also been set up to hear Johnny Depp's lawsuit. Johnny Depp's supporters outside the court support him and hope that Johnny Depp's lawsuit will end in Johnny's favor. The process of hearing Johnny Depp’s lawsuit seems to take about 6 weeks. A jury was selected to hear Johnny Depp’s explosive defamation awsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard on Monday — as scores of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star’s most hardcore fans gathered outside the Virginia courthouse for the long-awaited trial. The panel of seven jurors and four alternates was picked by late afternoon in the Fairfax, Virginia court. Opening statements are scheduled for Tuesday morning. Fans reportedly traveled from as far as Australia to see Depp, 58, who sported a grey three-piece suit, with his characteristically long hair, plus a goatee, mustache and sunglasses. An official said court officers apparently snuck the embattled actor into the hearing. Heard, 35, also wore a three-piece suit, though hers was black and did not include a tie. She walked into court with her hands in her pocket, saying “Good morning” to a camera person. Supporters were pictured holding signs that read “Justice for Johnny” and “Wish he never Heard” and holding small pirate flags, referencing Depp’s role in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series. Judge Penney Azcarate has made clear that while the case might be high profile, she doesn’t want it turning into a circus — and banned the A-list plaintiff and defendant from signing autographs or posing for pictures in or outside the courthouse. The court order devastated some fans who waited outside all morning for a glimpse of their idol. “I’m so disappointed. I came to give him flowers to show some support,” said Raylyn Otie, a Depp fanatic from Bluefield, Virginia, who drove five hours to meet the actor. Depp is seeking $50 million in damages from Heard, who he claims defamed him when she wrote in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed that she was a victim of “sexual violence.” While Depp is not named in the op-ed, the actor — who once made upward of $20 million per film — says it ruined his reputation and career after it was widely assumed Heard was writing about their five-year relationship.

The actor also withdrew from his role in the Harry Potter spin-off “Fantastic Beasts,” apparently at the behest of Warner Bros., after losing his 2020 court case in UK against the Sun over its description of him as a “wife beater.” During the jury selection process Monday, one potential juror said his wife had strong opinions about the case — and that she texted him: “Amber is psychotic. If a man says a woman beat him, they never believe him,” according to Deadline. He added that “she tends to exaggerate” and insisted he could still be impartial. A different juror was dismissed after saying Depp “was beating her and lying about things,” despite claiming he would try to keep an open mind, the site reported. “I was really disgusted by the outcome of the UK [trial],” Jacina, a fan from Australia, told a reporter outside the courthouse Monday morning. “I just came to support and show solidarity for Johnny.” “I believe he’s innocent and I don’t think that men’s reputation should be able to be ruined on the say-so of one person when it’s not true. So yeah, he suffered very bad consequences that he didn’t deserve,” she added. The trial is expected to last up to six weeks. Both Heard and Depp are expected to testify, along with many other high-profile witnesses, like Heard’s ex Elon Musk, actor James Franco, “WandaVision” star Paul Bettany and actress Ellen Barkin.
