Depp is still active after winning the lawsuit against his ex-wife
In addition to Rihanna’s fashion show, Depp has made several on-screen appearances after winning his defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
In August, he participated in the MTV VMAs with a brief cameo, with his face digitally superimposed on the helmet of a floating mole person. “And you know what, I needed the job,” Depp told the audience during one of his skits.

The appearance came months after a seven-person jury supported him in finding that Amber Heard, Depp’s ex-wife, defamed him in her 2018 op-ed in the Washington Post about domestic violence, though she did not mention him by name.
Judge Penney Azcarate denied Heard’s motion for a mistrial, and after Heard officially appealed the verdict, Depp’s legal team announced it would also appeal the verdict on his countersuit.
