Amber Heard’s sister Whitney has branded MTV ‘disgusting’ after Johnny Depp featured at the VMAs.
The actor, who won his defamation trial against his ex-wife earlier this year, made a series of virtual appearances as the MTV Moonman mascot at the awards show.
In one brief clip, airing only on TV, he could be heard saying: ‘I needed the work’.
Meanwhile, in another, he jokingly offered up his services to viewers at home, in case they were of any interest.
‘I just want you guys to know that I’m available for birthdays, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, weddings, wakes, any old thing you need…
‘Oh, I’m also a dentist.’
Heard’s sister Whitney, who testified at the trial, has spoken out on the appearance, saying on Instagram: ‘@MTV you’re disgusting and clearly desperate!
‘I really hope that none of the people that made this call have daughters.’
She went on to tag #DVMAs (with ‘DV’ often used as an abbreviation for ‘domestic violence’) and #IStandWithAmberHeard.
The VMAs have not publicly spoken out on Depp’s appearance.

Earlier this year, he successfully sued Heard for an opinion piece she penned in the Washington Post in 2018, discussing her experience with domestic abuse.
Despite his name not being mentioned in the article, his team argued that it implied he was sexually and physically abusive towards the Aquaman actress throughout the course of their relationship – which he fiercely denied.
A jury eventually found in his favor and awarded him $10million (£8.5million) from the $50m (£42m) he had initially sought, while Heard was given $2m (£1.7m) after winning one count of her $100m (£85m) countersuit claims.
Depp recently returned to a film set following the end of his highly-publicized trial – with official pictures released of his upcoming stint as King Louis XV in French period drama, Jeanne Du Barry.
As well as this, it was also announced that he will be directing a biopic about painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani, marking his comeback to filmmaking for the first time in 25 years.
