The stenographer who chronicled the defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard has pushed back on allegations of bias after she was seen hugging Mr Depp on the last day of the proceedings.
Judy Bellinger was filmed embracing Mr Depp following closing arguments on Friday 27 May in footage shared across social media. Heard fans claim that this shows that she didn’t get a fair trial, suggesting that the behaviour showed that the stenographer wasn’t impartial during the proceedings. The verdict was handed down five days after Ms Bellinger was seen interacting with the Depp team. Ms Bellinger has denied that she was “partying” with Mr Depp.
