The verdict has sparked a fire of opinions on the internet regarding the case.

Amber said this is a setback for women, but it's not, it's a huge step forward for any survivor of abuse. #MenToo #DeppVsHeard

NO ONE should be shamed and humiliated. But let’s fix this to violence against *ANYONE should be taken seriously. #MenToo And I do not believe this sets back victims whatsoever. It sends a message to those who give false allegations and gives men the courage to stand up. https://t.co/Sgq8aA5Ws3
