Johnny Depp’s “beautiful” reaction to Kate Moss’s testimony has put fans of the former couple in a frenzy.
The supermodel went to trial for defaming Depp and Amber Heard for denying rumors that she had been pushed down a ladder.
The testimony was a big blow to Heart’s case, as it contradicts the previous statements the actress made in the stands.

But while Depp’s supporters celebrated the legal victory, others deviated from various “sweet” details about how the former lovers interacted.
Many pointed to Depp’s response when Moss’s face appeared on the TV screen, via a video link from the UK.
“The smile on her face when she saw her on screen … Gold! I literally cried,” one said.

“We can talk about how Johnny’s face lights up after seeing it on the screen …” added another.
A third wrote: “Johnny’s face was so sweet. Exactly the opposite of when Amber was at the stand. “
Another pointed to a key difference in how Depp addressed his former lovers while at the stand.
“And when he talked about her,” Kate said, “she only referred to Amber as Miss Heard,” a Twitter user said.
“Her last statement before the break was so emotional that I cried.”
Another added: “He called an ex by her first name, another by her last name. If that doesn’t say much, I don’t know what she’s doing. It was nice.”

Others used social media to share their enthusiasm for the former couple, which dates from 1994 to 1998.
“When your ex is defending you 30 years later,” a Twitter user noted.
Another tweeted, “This is true love and respect between two people.”
A third added: “I’m so glad you took a step forward for this, I really love Johnny. She looks pretty as always, Bravo Kate Moss.”
Some came to expect a reconciliation, despite Moss’s current romance with photographer Nikolai von Bismarck.

Moss’s testimony was applauded by many social media users.
“Kate Moss’ testimony may have been quick, but it was shocking, ”one said.
“Not only did he NOT push her down the stairs, but he rushed back when he called and took her to his room and received medical attention.”

The British model was summoned to the booth after Heard referred to a rumor that Depp had pushed Moss down some stairs during a holiday in Jamaica.
During his four-minute testimony, Moss denied this suggestion.
“We were leaving the room and Johnny left the room before me and there had been a rainstorm and when I left the room I slipped down the stairs and hurt my back.” said Moss.
“I screamed because I didn’t know what happened to me and it hurt me and he ran back to help me and took me to my room and got me medical attention.”

When Depp’s lawyer asked Moss if he had ever pushed her down the stairs during their relationship, she replied, “No. He never pushed me, he didn’t kick me or he threw down the stairs. “
Depp took the stand shortly after Moss and was asked about his memory of the fall.
“I remember looking at and watching Kate walk out the door,” Depp said.
“And there were three small wooden stairs and he slipped, his legs went up and he landed directly on his coccyx, in his lower back.
“Obviously she was in pain physically and was injured, she was crying, so I ran and grabbed her to make sure she was okay.
“That’s the whole story.”
