However, it was beyond the walls of the court room on social media where the ramifications of the trial were truly felt. From TikTok clips mocking Heard’s testimony to videos using fake information to discredit her claims, the vitriol aimed at the actor was unprecedented in scale and severity.

In fact, in July, a report by Bot Sentinel – a non-partisan platform that uses AI to track harassment and tackle disinformation – found that Heard had been subjected to “one of the worst cases of cyberbullying and cyberstalking by a group of Twitter accounts”.

The letter also commented on the impact the trial has had on discussions about domestic violence, calling out some of the damaging stereotypes which emerged as a result.
