Amber Heard’s Sister Whitney Reacts to Johnny Depp’s MTV VMAs Appearance
Amber Heard’s sister Whitney Henriquez wasn’t too happy about Johnny Depp’s pre-recorded appearance at the 2022 MTV VMAs.
After all the drama of his high-profile defamation case against Amber, the actor apparently wanted a little fun, so allowed his face to be projected onto the iconic MTV Moonman.
For the brief, two-part cameo, the 59-year-old actor was heard saying, in a prerecorded bit, "And you know what? I needed the work."

View StoryHenriquez responded on Instagram Stories, writing, “@MTV you're disgusting and clearly desperate! I really hope that none of the people that made this call have daughters.”
She added, "I stand with Amber Heard," and seemed to reference domestic violence when she shared a graphic that said, "DVMA's.”
The gig for Depp comes after the jury found in favor of Depp in June, agreeing that it was defamation when Heard claimed she was a domestic abuse survivor in a 2018 op-ed. He was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. The judge immediately reduced the $5 million figure to $350,000, in line with a Virginia statutory cap.
