The soccer player Mauro Icardi is in a situation similar to that of actor Johnny Depp, who recently won a defamation trial. In early December, Icardi shared a photo of himself on the field with a quote from Depp during his trial against his ex-wife, in which he stated: "It's not about clearing my name, it's about defending the people who believe in me."
In 2022, the legal case between Depp and Amber Heard was highly publicized, with both statements being broadcasted. Icardi has made previous references to Depp in his social media posts. However, some aspects of Icardi's personal life, such as his private chats and hunting videos, have been poorly received by public opinion.
Two weeks after his first post with a quote from Depp, Icardi shared an image of the actor celebrating his victory in the trial. Recently, Icardi posted on Instagram a photo of Depp along with a threatening message. Meanwhile, Depp won a defamation lawsuit in which his ex-wife had to pay a substantial compensation.
Icardi believes he is fighting for his reputation due to the negative exposure caused by his ex-wife, Wanda Nara. Depp's situation worsened when his ex-wife identified him as an alleged abuser in a column, affecting his professional career. Icardi seems to expect a similar outcome in his legal battle, expressing in one of his social media posts: "The calm of the warrior. We're almost there Johnny, we're almost there."
