Johnny Depp Hugging with Lawyer goes internet speechless

After concluding, Mr. Chew returned to his seat beside the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor and hugged him, earning a warm reaction from people on social media. Internet users shared photos and videos of Mr. Chew and Mr. Depp hugging, and said, “I'm speechless... Ben's words teared me up… and this hug burst my heart.” “Watching Ben Chew getting emotional and fighting to not tear up during his closing statement was really one of the most touching things in this trial, and there were many. What a great lawyer and empathetic human being,” wrote another.

Several users also praised Mr. Chew and co-counsel Camille Vasquez. A user wrote, “Can I just take a moment to congratulate the amazing work that Johnny Depp's lawyers did this entire trial. Nothing but Class all the way, with credible witnesses."

On Friday, lawyers for the two sides made their closing arguments following six weeks of blistering mutual accusations of domestic violence between the couple. Both sides have claimed damages to their careers.

Amber Heard's legal team presented an entertainment industry expert who estimated that the actress suffered $45-50 million in lost film and TV roles and endorsements. On the other hand, Mr. Depp's side said that the actor has lost millions because of the abuse accusation, including a potential $22.5 million payday for the sixth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean.

After six weeks of testimony in a defamation trial that has aired the good, bad, and the very ugly of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's former relationship, the case is now in the hands of the jury.
Whatever the verdicts in Depp's $50 million suit and Heard's $100 million countersuits, something else is true: The fate of their respective careers will be decided in the court of public opinion, according to Hollywood insiders.
CNN spoke with six entertainment industry experts for this story, some of whom spoke on background to protect professional relationships.
Whether fair or unfair, the wave of support Depp has received on social media during the trial -- especially on Tik-Tok -- may serve him well going forward, one veteran publicist who has known Depp for years told CNN.
"I wasn't sure what to expect before he took the stand and if anything, I believe this has done nothing but help his public image," the source said.
Another top Hollywood publicist, who hasn't worked with either Depp or Heard, said neither of their images has fared well.
"Both are highly dysfunctional. Money is toxic and greed destroys. No one wins here," this publicist said.
