#MenToo is a social movement which was started against false sexual harassment allegations in the #MeToo movement. Amid the highly publicised case of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, #MenToo is gaining momentum on social media. It all began when Heard accused Depp of domestic violence through the 2018 op-ed piece she wrote for Washington Post, although the case is still on, netizens have seemingly decided to label Amber as the abuser.
Depp also took the stand earlier this month and claimed that he has never laid a finger on any woman in his life, while Heard claimed that the actor was violent and sexually abused her when he was intoxicated.
Over the course of a few weeks, #johnnydeppvsamberheard was one of the most trending hashtags on Twitter along with #Amberturd. Fans are creating videos using the real court footage and mocking Heard and even making memes. After Heard wrote the op-ed in 2018, Johnny Depp lost two major franchises, The Fantastic Beasts with Warner Bros. and Pirates of the Caribbean with Disney.
In turn, Amber herself hasn’t scored any major role apart from her upcoming movie Aquaman 2. Over the weekend, netizens started trending #MenToo on Twitter to show their support for Depp, whilst also sharing that, even men can be victims of domestic abuse.
Using #MenToo, one user wrote, “The default setting in our society is that men are the abusers and women are the victims. And for men, it’s guilty until proven innocent. Both sides of the story need to be heard before believing one side over the other and casting judgment.” Take a look at more reactions here.

Is it time for #MenToo?
A female abuser is a criminal, not an “imperfect victim.”
A woman who makes a false allegation is a criminal, not an “imperfect victim.”
Demonizing all men as bad was never the solution ~ it was always the problem.

The next series of RTs is important. NO ONE deserves to be abused, regardless of their gender. NO ONE’s abuse deserves to be made light of, due to their addictions. #justiceForJohnnyDepp #AbuseHasNoGender #MenToo https://t.co/DEEpkLLXaa

I’m glad that #MenToo is trending. Men should feel safe and comfortable speaking out against domestic violence. Men, you don’t deserve to be beaten or mistreated. Know your worth.

I’m ready for men to start speaking up. Take the pictures. Get the evidence and out these women who are lying, manipulative, narcissistic abusers. They have been silenced for too long. #MenToo #AmberHeardlsAnAbuser #AmberIsALiar #JusticeForJohnnyDeep

There’s a heavy narrative going around that women are scared to come forward because of Amber’s SM backlash; yet the narrative should actually be about how men are starting to feel SAFE to come forward because of that backlash #MeToo #MenToo #BelieveAllVictims #AbuseHasNoGender

As a feminist, I believe in equality. Women can be abusers and men can be victims. It’s really that simple. Saying that a woman cannot be an abuser is not feminism, it is misandry.

The level of hate, ignorance, dismissal, ridicule, minimisation & hypocrisy that we are currently seeing when male victims of abuse are highlighted is so extreme & blatant we need some new words to accurately describe just how shameful this is#JusticeForJohnnyDepp#MenToo

As a woman, if the #MeToo movement is so weak and insecure that it will die because of justice finally being served to a proven ABUSER, then it never was worthy of existing. Abused women deserve something better than that. #JusticeForJohnnyDepp #AmberHeardIsALiar #MenToo https://t.co/ludxTVct1S

I stand in support women- and every man. Men watching this trial with baited hope, who I was DM’d by, men in tears bc their hopes of being recognized. Men who miss their children bc their Amber Heard falsely accused them. If you can’t support them, you are the problem. #MenToo

We’re not watching this trial because it’s Johnny Depp. We’re watching this trial because a man is bringing his abuse to light. Because we’re allies. Because us or someone we know has gone through abuse and never spoke up #MeToo #MenToo #JusticeForJohnnyDepp
