Amber Heard Supporters Suffer Harassment For Supporting Her, New Report Shows
Amber Heard's supporters are reportedly targeted by harassment online, a new report shows.
Even though almost two months have already passed after Heard lost the defamation trial, the actress's supporters still reportedly receive criticisms online.
One of the "Aquaman" star's fans, Ella Dawson, revealed that the trolls had not stopped yet.
"I'm still getting people tweeting at me, calling me weird heinous stuff. And it's been weeks and weeks. That's very strange," she said, per CBS News.
Dawson, a digital strategist and writer, is just one of many Heard's supporters who have been receiving hate comments due to an organized campaign of "widespread targeted harassment."
According to a report released on Monday by Bot Sentinel, it examined 14,000 tweets that included at least one of four viral anti-Heard hashtags. It found that 24.4 percent were created in the last seven months.
Meanwhile, 1 in 5 accounts spammed reports and tweets against the actress.
The firm explained that users also tried to deceive Twitter's algorithms by slightly adding misspellings, like replacing the letter I with an l.
Before releasing the report, it sent a list of hundreds of account to Twitter, saying that those people "violated multiple rules and policies of the platform, including but not limited to violent threats, abuse/harassment, hateful conduct, private information, and platform manipulation and spam."
Twitter has not responded to the report yet.
Amber Heard Jealous About Johnny Depp and His Booming Career
In a previous report shared by Marca, a nurse who previously worked for Heard broke her silence over her jealousy toward Depp's success. She noted that she suffered anxiety issues due to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star's international fame.
"Client expressed concerns to husband and Dr. Kipper that she is nervous about being alone while husband is working. She expressed she has difficulty dealing with feelings of insecurity and jealously," the nurse went on.
Meanwhile, actor Mickey Rourke recently slammed Heard and sided with the "Minamata" actor, although he does not know him intimately.
The "Iron Man" star said during his interview on the TV show, "Piers Morgan Uncensored" that he also went through a similar position and lost his jobs. For what it's worth, Rourke got blacklisted in Hollywood amid the claims that he abused his wife.
In the end, he tagged Heard as a gold digger.
