Lily-Rose, the 22-year-old daughter of Johnny and his ex-wife, is facing extra trauma on top of that generated by the case itself.
It has now been revealed that some of Depp’s most ardent fans have been sending hate comments her way for not publicly supporting her father enough in his case against Heard.
Twitter user Ahmad posted four screenshots of comments on one of Lily-Rose’s recent Instagram posts with the caption: “this is just insane.”

One comment read: “Please support your father. Regardless of YOUR relationship with him you know that Amber is NOT THE VICTIM. Support him please, speak up!!!!”Others called the model out for not uploading any pictures of her dad at this time. “Not a single pic of your dad! What kind of human being are u!?” one person bemoaned.
“After years you will be gone and forgotten and people will only remember you as the daughter of a legendary man,” another user added.
Others echoed the views of other social media users, and proceeded to call the model out for not posting a photo of her father in solidarity. “Not a single pic of your dad! What kind of human being are u!?” one account wrote, adding in a second: “After years you will be gone and forgotten and people will only remember you as the daughter of a legendary man.”
Ahmad then proceeded to share the theory of one Depp fan, who suggested that the hate comments were in fact coming from Heard’s fans trying to smear the Pirates of the Caribbean star’s supporter base.
This particular theory was resoundingly panned by several Twitter users.
Lily-Rose’s parents separated in 2012, shortly before Depp and Heard first started dating. The pair would then marry in 2015, before divorcing in incredibly acrimonious circumstances two years later.
Johnny’s fans have been defending him both outside the court and on social media, especially on TikTok. But now, Johnny’s fans have turned their attention to his 22-year-old daughter Lily-Rose and they have been hounding her on social media for not publicly supporting her father.
The actress has not shared a post on Instagram since April 9 – before the trial even began – but her comment section is full of people harassing her. On Friday (May 13), a viral tweet shared screenshots of the comment section on one of Lily’s posts and all the comments were asking her about her father.
On her post dated April 9, a troll asked: “Why aren’t you helping your dad?” Another user criticised Lily-Rose for being vocal about her support for the Black Lives Matter movement but for not posting her father: “Only reason she’s famous it’s because of her dad and she posts absolutely nothing about him and how Amber Heard is destroying his career, but she have BLM on her stupid profile.
The social media posts are likely to impact the mental health of Lily Rose, and perpetrators of those messages are expected to desist from it.
