I went &#8211; we chatted music and without thinking I took a photo and posted it as it was pretty surreal. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Fender added that he&#8217;d called Depp and Beck &#8220;heroes&#8221; &#8220;in reference to their careers&#8221; while acknowledging that &#8220;in the context of the trial [it] was severely misinformed\u2026 I now realized that it was a poor choice of words and timing, but that&#8217;s irrelevant\u2026 It was naive and disrespectful to those who relate to any of the issues highlighted in the trial and the broader issues it poses.  I didn&#8217;t think it through and I should have. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Fender finished, \u201cI can&#8217;t really say anything other than it was ill-judged and I was ignorant with regards to the trials as a whole, and thoughtless on what my post could imply.  I realize this entirely, and for that I&#8217;m deeply sorry. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>After a long media-circus trial, a Virginia jury found that Heard had defamed her ex-husband Johnny Depp by identifying herself as \u201crepresenting domestic abuse\u201d in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed.  In a decision that many commentators have called a backlash against the #MeToo movement, the jury ordered Heard to pay Depp $ 15 million;  she plans to appeal.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '514545615712257');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sam Fender has issued an apology after sharing a photo of himself with Johnny Depp and Jeff Beck with the words &#8220;serious heroes.&#8221; Fender posted the now-deleted photo on the same night as the verdict was reached in Depp&#8217;s defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard.
