I hope they both get help for their issues.

Johnny with his drink and drugs and Amber Heard with her lies.

I don't wish hate on either of them and I think some of the hate is outrageous and disgusting, this whole amber turd, death threats etc. She is a human at the end of a day and maybe a very mentally ill one. Yes, she needs to be held accountable for her actions and it's NOT OK just like it's NOT OK some of the stuff Depp has done.

Yes .. that’s probably a fair assessment

Have you ever been in a relationship Thomas? It sounds like they’d been arguing the night before - it’s usual for couples to apologise (to each other) after an argument. It’s not some grand admission of wrongdoing. People say harsh things in arguments and then say sorry the next day … that’s fairly standard in any relationship, surely?

Or I could also point out that people in relationships with volatile individuals will be constantly apologising for every little thing, in the hopes of keeping that person calm.

No it might not be admission of wrong doing... Also agree with your last statement.

You can rationalise with that, but you don't seem to be able to understand that certain actions can also cause someone to be as angry as he was just because you might not react in that way? ...and deny that it was any sort of mental breakdown because, what? You've not experienced exhibiting those behaviours in a mental breakdown, if you have ever had one?

Whether I've been in a relationship before or not I do not think is relevant and quite a low point to belittle my point.

I have experienced extreme mental health issues in the past needing crisis intervention.

I have a wealth of experience in my own personal life, family and work, both in the UK and internationally.

I don't think it's fair to use the 'have you' when it comes to any argument to try and make your point more superior and belittle the other.

I hate the sort of notion that unless you've experienced it yourself you can't empathise or understand or see a different perspective as to what might have made one do such a thing. You've done it before

The jury have a lot of pages of evidence to go through. It may take a while.

If she said "things got so crazy last night" and he was still angry, that sounds like a response he might give. "You thin that was crazy? I'll show you crazy!" etc


We are speculating again though

I’ve been called crazy for not wanting to go to the pub after work and even for not liking Only Fools and Horses .. calling people crazy CAN just be a throw-away comment

You've not experienced exhibiting those behaviours in a mental breakdown, if you have ever had one?

I haven't said that I don't understand certain things make people extremely angry/make them "crack" under the pressure, I also haven't said that I don't think Depp was suffering poor mental health/a breakdown (he has had severe addiction issues since he was a teenager - I imagine his mental health has been abysmal at times).

None of those mean "abuse isn't abuse" though ... even if you can sympathise with his position, you'd never tell an abused person that they weren't abused because their abuser was suffering a breakdown/has poor mental health ... or even if they're suffering something more severe like schizophrenia or psychosis. The victim was still abused. Again, these would be mitigating factors in a CRIMINAL trial, someone might not go to prison etc. if their actions were during a breakdown or they were suffering from an actual mental illness, but that doesn't mean it can't be described as "abusive actions" ... thus ... if the victim writes about them, it's not libellous. To be honest, I'd say MOST abusers probably don't have great mental health, as abuse in relationships is often about control - and the desire to be possessive and control is usually a result of extreme anxiety.

Whether I've been in a relationship before or not I do not think is relevant and quite a low point to belittle my point.

It was a rhetorical question to be honest Thomas... I assumed you probably had been in arguments with partners and so would know that both people saying sorry when attempting to make up is pretty standard (even if one person still thinks they were 100% right, you'd apologise if an argument got verbally "heated", because you still care about that person and don't want there to be bad feeling). I wasn't trying to imply anything with it.

The thing is, I know that this sort of reporting / memes being made is "par for the course" in celebrity culture. That doesn't make it OK ever per se, but a bit of it is to be expected in "celeb life".

But SURELY even the most passionate Johnny Depp fan can see that the anti-Heard movement online has been ... extreme. Like way, way beyond what we usually see with these celebrity things. I heard some news anchor say yesterday that this trial (a piddly little libel case!) is the biggest trial (in terms of global coverage) since OJ simpson and very possibly bigger. That's just absolutely insane. It's totally disproportionate and the hatred being directed Heard's way is staggering, even if every single thing Depp has said is true.

If AH was a bloke would you still find the hate "over the top' ? .

I don't engage in tiktok or Twitter,but the majority of comments & response I've seen is people who are fed up of the lies she's told. It's mostly her behaviour that's being criticised, and people don't like how she's acting in the trial, and the audio clips have just made people dislike her more,as her true colours were revealed.

Anyone wishing death or serious harm on a person (male or female) who they have never met is over the top. Whatever behaviour they think they have seen wishing death on a celebrity you don't like is never, ever justifiable.

Yeah I agree.

I think a lot of people dislike what she's done, but then some just take it way too far. I wouldn't wish death threats on anyone even those who have committed the most serious of crimes, murder even, I'm not in favour of any death penalty bit that's a different conversation

Well that's if you believe what he has been accused of you. You clearly do so therefore you're going to think he's not taking any responsibility.

I happen to believe the opposite and that he wants to clear his name on very serious accusations.

Behaviour in court? What behaviour exactly? I think he has found some of the things frankly laughable. Most of the time he has had his head down.

I'm not talking about death threats or wishing serious harm on someone as that is crazy, I'm talking about 'hate' in general. Meghan Markle gets hated on a daily basis,and people think that's ' justified' .

Michael Jackson was called a paedophile,with no proper evidence. Bloke had been dead 10 years then suddenly the public believed jackanory stories from one broke guy & one bitter guy .

People complain about the AH 'memes' , but MJ had a ton of tasteless paedo jokes made about him when he was alive .

The whole #bekind is laughable aswell, as people pick & choose who 'SHOULDN'T' criticise . Yet it's ok to say mean spirited things about other people. Hypocrisy & double standards.

It was fairly well reported on at the beginning of the trial that his behaviour - snide comments, sniggering and dismissive nature was out of place in a court of law

To be fair - Johnny is an addict he has been clean many times before and relapsed. He needs to get clean and stay clean and that takes a lot of dedication. Hopefully he will do it but only time will tell that. He might really want to now, doesn't mean next week he still will. Any addict will tell you it is a lifelong commitment to get and stay clean

Everyone ,or should I say anyone with common sense knew he was GUILTY AF . Then the silly Kardashian bloke became a 'celebrity' after the media circus, which jump kicked the whole Kardashian reality TV nightmare. There's still audio out there of OJ's wife phoning the police .

Actually revisiting the old news footage, and clips of his trial has a ton of comments against him . Some are in shock that he was ever LET OFF .

Also didn't he get arrested for robbery in his later years?? . But People knew it was corruption & injustice, that he was found 'Not guilty' all those years ago.


Oscar pistorius is another one that was clearly guilty, and again I'm sure most of us could see that . I know he was actually found guilty anyway but still .

PLENTY of people supported Pistorius (and still do), not dissimilar at all to the Depp case IMO other than the fact that it was obviously a far more serious trial, as he killed her, and also it was even more insane that people were supporting him because his version of events was paper thin and it was really quite evident what had happened. The right outcome in that one, thankfully. Still plenty of people who believe him, though. Mostly people who were fans before it happened, of course.

I never once believed his 'feared intruder' garbage story, he knew his girlfriend must have gone to the bathroom so it didn't make sense .Who the hell gets that trigger happy unless he planned to kill her or he's completely insane or both . Either way he was guilty.

LONDON — The actor Johnny Depp is the latest American entertainment figure to suggest — however jokingly, ironically or obliquely — the killing of President Trump.

Speaking on Thursday at the Glastonbury arts festival in southwest England, Mr. Depp asked the audience, “Can you bring Trump here?”

The remark was met with booing and jeering, and he continued: “You misunderstand completely. When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? I want to clarify: I’m not an actor. I lie for a living. However, it’s been awhile, and maybe it’s time.”

The words — which were condemned by the White House on Friday, and which Mr. Depp apologized for — were being interpreted as an allusion to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth, an actor, in 1865.







I want to clarify: I’m not an actor. I lie for a living.... 1st true thing I've heard him say.

The words — which were condemned by the White House on Friday, and which Mr. Depp apologized for — were being interpreted as an allusion to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth, an actor, in 1865.

I lie for a living.

Maybe ‘pretend’ ??

83 Times Johnny Depp Lied Under Cross-Examination

https://64.media.tumblr.com/c02c3661e9253a6e2a82c502ae0b7212/tumblr_o5pbg9Q9YH1re3x32o1_400.gifv

Depp lied over 80 times during cross-examination in a Fairfax, Virginia courtroom. Here is each instance.
Under cross-examination last week by Amber Heard’s lawyer, Benjamin Rottenborn, Johnny Depp was inconsistent with prior testimony and lied over 80 times. In a Geekbuzz exclusive, we have each of Depp’s untruthful utterances. These are in the order in which they were said, and we encourage everyone to listen to the cross-examination themselves.

1: Testified dad wasn’t abusive to him only his mum and his dad just punched walls 3 TIMES and “shattered his hand”

LIE – His father did hit him PUNCHED Johnny Depp in the face and knocked him down after asking Depp to walk dog or take out garbage “Something meaningless” Depp says.

2: Depp agrees he has done pills with Bettany not XANAX, ADDERALL

LIE: He did do xanax with Bettany. UK testimony shows. DEPP admits he would give Bettany XANAX and shared and enjoyment of controlled drugs and alcohol. Whatever drugs Bettany needed.

3. Depp said Amber only disagreed with Depp doing drugs based on her perception of Depp doing drugs which was a wrong perception.

June 11 2013 Bettany text. Depp texts lets drown, burn Amber and “I will **** her burnt corpse to make sure she is dead”

LIE: Depp agreed to doing drugs with Bettany. His rage in the text is based on Amber not wanting to Depp to do drugs. It wasn’t based on Ambers perception as Depp was doing drugs with Bettany. He WAS. Plane texts may 30th. Drank all night no food for days, vodka etc screaming obsenities and insulting people but pills are fine.

4: Depp claims the monster is Ambers word about her perception of Depp on substances or not. Depp claims its her click word. Claims its her word.

LIE: 2012 text to Elton John “I would have been swallowed up by the monster if not for you” Depps use of the word here confirms another lie.

5: Claimed before never abusive towards any woman ever. But has already agreed verbal abuse is abuse.

LIE: Was abusive towards Amber and vicariously Whitney. Texted Whitney “I never want to lay my eyes on that filthy ***** Amber”

LIE: Depp’s text to Deuters whilst working on Pirates 5 in Australia “Honestly, I will not again be doing anything……having *****d for all these wasted pieces of ****….every cunting fight…every ****ing time….I held my rage down” Depp was angry about the Pirates 5 screenplay.

LIE: Text sent by Depp after letter communication with Amber “The only reason we go for the throat is love” Amber texts “You are going to be the death of me” Depp texts “I have other uses for your throat that do not include injury” Clearly he has injured her throat previously. As spoken of in audio tape that Depp had his hands round Ambers throat and she thought she was going to die “on accident”

74: Depp claims not to be abusive to Amber and to be a Southern Gentleman

LIE: Depp apologizes in notebook they wrote messages to each other in, apologizing for “vicious untruths” he spoke for the sole reason of “hurting you.” Depp apologizes for the shameless, disgraceful and odious error.

It’s going to court” “Not on my arms” Says Amber. Amber then protests that the knife is blunt and it will be painful if he cuts her with it. Amber says “I would never cut you” Again disproving Depps finger claims.

81: Depp didn’t know Disney were considering removing him or dramatically reducing his role in Pirates 6.

LIE: This had already become international news that Depp was out of Pirates 6. 2 months before OP ED. Depp then confirms “It’s odd they were gonna release me” due to the fact they still sold Captain Jack Sparrow merchandise and had theme park rides related to the character still operating.

82: Depp says Amber’s allegations lost him the Pirates role…

LIE: Depp said he wouldn’t go back for “300 million dollars or a million alpacas.” Magazine article claiming Depp was out as Captain Jack Sparrow, dated two months before Heard’s ope-ed,read aloud in court

83: Depp says Amber made false allegations of domestic abuse for money in divorce

I agree with the sentiment of this but I don't think the jury put the #MeToo movement but Miss Heard's lack of evidence, poor sometimes histrionic performance on the stand and her recollection of incidents that conflict with even her own sister. Maybe the trauma of reliving the incidents made her testimony so not believable but some of the inconsistencies in her stories stick out like a beacon.

Its clear this was a toxic relationship but who was the aggressor? Both teams make a distinction between hitting and other forms of physical abuse that I'm not sure should be made. Mr Depp vehemently denies ever 'striking' Miss Heard ,as he puts it, but he admits there was an incident where he was - as he puts it - had his hands on her shoulders and was trying to get her to stay on the bed. Clearly he's put his hands on her in an aggressive manner so I dont agree with the distinction.

There were incidents that it seem Miss Heard made up and the way their is stories differ so starkly regarding the same incidents is laughable at times. Where as Depp is calm and almost going into too much details, Heard clearly skips thru and misses out parts of recollection of event. We odnt know if its the trauma of reliving but she was unconvincing and a bit snarky in her testimony

We don't know anything other than this was toxic relation ship and these two need to stay the hell away from each other. MeeToo has definitely been put back but I don't think Mr Depp had much to do with it, frankly

It's not about whose fault it is or what the intent was - the fact that one of the most high-profile trials on history (which is insane in the first place) has resulted in someone being successfully sued for millions of dollars for writing about an experience of abuse effectively means that any and every abuse victim is going to now think twice (thrice, and four times over) about coming forward. It's an absolute catastrophe for abuse victims. Even people who believe Depp should understand that, and stop "celebrating". It's completely inappropriate given what this was about.

Again, maybe the trauma of reliving the incidents but Miss Heard in her first testimony was cocky and dismissive. She set the scene for herself at the deposition in 2016. She's played herself, in the end

I sympathise but Miss Heard, on her own, has done this to herself. MeToo need look no further Amber Heard for the problem this will cause abused victims all over the world

Miss Heard was someone who visibly backed the MeToo movement and to then clearly make up allegations is not the same as saying as what you're saying. She was a major player, you cannot deny.

Johnny Depp, not this case, has set the me too movement backwards, what will set it back, - which I don’t even believe it even will, that entire assumption is based off of sexist vitriol - is Amber Heard blatantly lying about something that didn’t happen, and an entire movement backing her without thought of whether is was true or not and pushing for the societal blacklist of someone based on nothing but her words.

This case wasn’t about women in general, it was about a single woman and her deplorable actions, should the world and a jury ignore her actions because it might possibly look bad for a movement? That doesn’t seem or logical to me, she did something wrong, she’s now facing the consequences of it, if it backfires on the movement, it would be nobodies fault but her own

They seem to think that 'striking' is the only form of abuse and I admit you're absolutely right. He was abusive

I go to who sent the vid because it shows this was sent by Miss Heard. Why not send it to the police? Why TMZ? Yet she still denies even sending it. It all adds up to the US definition of 'Malicious intent'.

The vid is more than Mr Depp slamming a cupboard and kicking a kitchen worktop. The setting up of the camera and the giggle at the end buried her.
We're getting into some dodgy ground here but in that particular video, all Mr Depp's actions are away from Miss Heard, not toward her. You may not agree that its relevant but watch that vid again.

I never put my fingers in my ears , trials in the UK are not televised so I don't know why AH won. Possibly because people feared backlash from the #metoo movement ,but AH hijacked that.

All of JD's ex partners including Kate Moss have nothing but nice things to say, he DID NOT push Kate Moss down the stairs. AH was peddling 'rumous' & 'hearsay'.

If JD is such a monster then why have all his ex's defended him. And having addiction problems, and getting angry does not EQUAL woman beater.

ahhh now it makes sense...I was gonna say thats abuse because it is ain't it, deliberately defame your partner is a form of abuse..JOHNNY SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF ABUSE THEN? But no...

The thing is sadly there are many women that are victims of domestic abuse…not every one of them are…there are women, and I believe Amber Heard is one of them, that will manipulate a situation to claim this is the case. There are men that become victims of manipulation albeit in this case Johnny Depp’s abuse of alcohol and drugs did not help his case…he was verbally abusive and destructive but there was no evidence to prove he was physically abusive to her. This is what she claimed in her defamation of him…but it could not be proved…which is why he won the case.
Her inaccuracies in her testament…her overacted account…her demeanour and lack of emotion did not not convince the jury.
There are many men that are victims of abuse…and she admitted that she assaulted him. It must be harder for a man to be seen as a victim of abuse from a woman than vice versa.
I am no fan of JD and this has done him no favours…he took a massive risk taking this to court because he could so easily have lost..and he has exposed himself as a violent drunk and drug abuser but he simply wanted to prove he wasn’t the person she exposed him to be.

Why though? Cases are assessed on their own merit. Many people aren’t even following this case (like me) and many more will never even have heard about it. I have admittedly no idea about what went on, I’ve just been reading bits of the thread.
But it seems you are basically saying that any well known woman MUST ALWAYS be found to be in the right, no matter the circumstances or the truth, so other women won’t be fearful about coming forward. That’s crazy.

She never left much of an impression ... just more of a background actress, I watched Stepfather the 2009 movie some years ago , and i legit didn't even realise she was in that movie.

The funny thing is if it wasn't for JD , she probably wouldn't have gotten this much exposure & fame . And i truly believe he was the one that helped her get the part in Aquaman.

Then why did she struggle with the events that happened in the USA trial ?.

You'll have to excuse me ,as I don't know the full ins & outs of the UK one . I know JD was suing the newspaper,and AH invited & tipped off TMZ & wanted her 'bruised ' face to show the press. She set things up , she deliberately put on a show for them .


I’m not talking about the UK trial!

I’m talking about this trial. He was suing her, she was also counter-suing him for that by him and his lawyer (the one who was kicked out of the trial near the beginning) had been doing. He won his libel case AND she won the counter-case. Yesterday. In Virginia. Like I said, did you turn it off in excitement before the full verdict was read? For someone who has been following the trial so closely, you don’t seem to know much about it?

However if you do want my opinion on why the UK trial went better for her than the one in Virginia, it’s because the verdict of the UK trial was decided by judges (highly trained legal experts who knew what they were looking at) and not a jury of 7 hillbillies who had spent too much time on Twitter throughout the trial despite being explicitly told not to do that.

neither heard nor depp are anything close to normal people, so i think it's impossible to say if it will affect the chances of success of abused women going forward. It is also ONE state in the USA and the usa is becoming as extreme as many of the countries currently vilified for their disgusting behaviour. So I dont think precedent enters into it on this occasion


Unfortunately that’s not the point BOTS - it wouldn’t affect their legal chances at all, for the reasons you’ve said, it’s one US state that’s already notorious for its “easy” libel outcomes (it’s why Depp put it on trial there and not in California, where he would probably have not even got to trial, let alone won).

It’s not about legal precedent it’s about the publicity of the case. There are already women currently with domestic violence services terrified about what this means for them, and if their abusive ex partner is going to be able to come after them in the courts. And that’s people who have already reported it/escaped it… there will be countless now who simply will be too scared to come forward in the first place.

The best hope is that people are bored enough of hearing about this for it to fade out of the zeitgeist relatively quickly.

Just to add guys… an awful lot of reports of

1) Depp having talked to or paid off people (women) not to come forward with evidence against him. And a report that Winona Ryder was going to give evidence (AGAINST Depp) in the UK trial but withdrew. Hmmm.

2) It’s been confirmed that multiple jurors were viewing and using social media throughout the trial despite being instructed by the court not to do so, which is highly likely to have influenced their judgement, especially given the confirmed fact that Depp’s first lawyer was leaking false information.



… there’s highly likely to be an appeal. I’m sure we’ll all enjoy that! It’ll have to wait until after his upcoming trial for assault though I guess. You know. That upcoming case that none of you want to acknowledge is happening :joker:. Ffs.

Amber is having trouble finding the $15 million
she must pay him.



GMBHD itv reports

Technically it's $13 million ,as JD has to pay her $2million.

I don't know why she'd be struggling, when she just sits on money & pretends to donate .

It’s $8.35 million because Virginia caps punitive damages at $350,000 which I’m sure you know as you’ve been following so closely, so I’ll assume your finger just slipped on your calculator when you worked it out as $13 million.

Here we go with the condescending tone again . I genuinely thought you were talking about the UK trial, and no I didn't turn on or turn off anything. I watched the result/ verdict quite late ,and I found out afterwards about the money they both owe eachother now.

No I wasn't getting excited, I'm not the one banging on about memes & social media all the time.

As I've said already I think it was the right decision & verdict, as there was no proof JD was ever physically violent . whole thing was still ugly.

It was a serious matter . I guess my reaction was more relieved it's over & glad that JD can get on with his life.

Why are you calling the jury members 'hillbillies' , is it because you hate the result. How are you getting information about them going 'against rules'. How do you know they were influenced?, they took a while to decide ,I don't think they rushed it.

I've not heard anything about Winona wanting to testify against JD. And it's silly to accuse JD of paying people off, without evidence . Witnesses came forward to tell their side of things. You don't like what you heard that's all it is .

I don’t believe that complex legal issues should be decided on by laypeople with no legal training. I don’t believe that domestic violence cases should be decided on by people with no knowledge of domestic violence, or what is normal behaviour for victims of domestic violence. I said “hillbillies” as a colourful way of saying “people who don’t know what they’re looking at and think victims must look a certain way” - something we’ve seen plenty of in this thread too.

It’s certainly not about not liking what I’ve seen/heard, although of course I don’t “like” it, as I’ve said on multiple occasions the kitchen video is all I need to stare with 100% certainty that there was behaviour from Depp that is a form of domestic abuse. That’s all I needed to see or hear because - unlike some - I don’t think any mountain of evidence showing supposed “provocation” excuses that violence or somehow makes it not-abusive. I can’t say which of Heards other claims are definitely true although I personally believe her in most of them. On the kitchen video (and text messages to Bettany) that are confirmed alone - I’m happy enough to call him abusive, a misogynist and a generally extremely unpleasant individual.

I know people disagree with me but :shrug:.

Comments on Johnny Depp's character
Barkin and Depp are said to have been involved in a brief relationship in 1997 whilst filming Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Speaking about her experience with Depp, she said: "There is always an air of violence around him."

The comments are listed in the case notes for the 2020 Depp v News Group Newspapers Ltd trial, which Depp ultimately lost. "There was just this world of violence…He is a yeller. He is verbally abusive," Barkin said.

In the testimony, Barkin once again accused Depp of "a lot of yelling" before discussing the wine bottle incident. "Yes, Mr. Depp threw a wine bottle across the room, the hotel room, in one instance, in Las Vegas, while we were shooting Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," she reportedly said.

She went on to confirm that the bottle didn't hit her or anyone else.

Barkin was also asked if Depp had ever hit her, "No, he did not," she said. Barkin also confirmed that he never kicked her or physically assaulted her in any way either.

$10 million compensatory + $5 million punitive (punitive damages capped at $350000) minus the $2 million awarded for Depp’s legal team defaming her = $8.35 million.

It was never about the money, the verdict is depressing but really all it shows is that 7 more people were duped in the same way as the millions across social media. I said to my wife when we were waiting for the verdict to prep herself for it going Depp’s way. She asked why. I said, “because the jury is just more of the same laypeople as the ones watching on YouTube, and logically they’re going to be swung in exactly the same way”.

Utterly ludicrous for a libel case to be decided by jury verdict. You might as well have asked a bunch of 5 year olds whose courtroom doodles they preferred.

He got what he wanted/she had lost within a week of the trial starting. Public shaming and humiliation. He SAID he wanted that in his own words in those text messages.

But he’s not abusive of course. It’s not like he said “I want to globally shame my ex wife” and then globally shamed his ex wife.

The social media is utterly toxic no matter what anyone believes about the case. The subject matter is too grim and serious for there to be teenagers making meme TikTok’s about it.

9/10 of them won’t even be that fussed about Depp in a month when the whatever the next social media craze is gets into full swing, it’s turned domestic violence allegations into light reality entertainment, which is just gross from any perspective.

And if the jury was really biased in any way, would Heard have won the one claim that she did?

In my opinion, a libel case being decided on by a non-specialised jury is going to be dubious in terms of legal accuracy. In my opinion, an assessment of domestic violence made by a jury of non-specialised individuals is going to be dubious in terms of accuracy. I summed this up flippantly as “hillbillies”. My intent was to highlight that jury verdicts are far from gospel at the best of times, and when it’s something as nuanced as spousal abuse that’s even more the case. I don’t understand why the US does these trials as trial by jury and not a specialised expert court system, but that’s their business. I don’t have to put any stock at all in a decision made by some random people off the street. Random people off the street think TikToks about a domestic violence case are “good fun”.

Domestic abuse survivors should be able to speak openly about their experiences without a massive burden of proof that means they can be sued for not staying silent. She should have been well within her rights to write an OpEd about her relationship. He would have been well within his rights to write one countering what she said. That’s fair and balanced. This circus has been neither and has been detrimental to victims of abuse.

They did and it’s a good thing they did too, because the way the MSM has twisted the entire process of the trial, we wouldn’t not have got anywhere near to what the true story is, that’s why Heard was against it, because the media is very much still stuck in its ‘believe all women at any cost’ narrative.

Are you trying to argue that the social media coverage of the trial - FULL of blatantly edited videos, joke memes and (confirmed) pushed by high profile MRA accounts and social media bots - is more balanced than the mainstream media reporting?? :joker: Liam you need to reset your TikTok cookies, that algorithm is serving you the Incel rhetoric HARD.

I mean if I was the victim of Domestic Abuse I wouldn't want a public trial about it, I doubt most people would, why would they?


Not one person willing to address the verified texts from Depp where he outright stated long before the trial that his intention was to have her publicly shamed and dragged across the coals. Blinkers firmly on for that one.

How come this verdict is the correct one though? A UK court found that he was guilty of abuse :shrug:

Massive misconception, the judge found that the sun could print their story because they used Heard‘s op-ed as a source, it wasn’t a trial about his abuse, the same evidence we saw in this case from Johnny’s side wasn’t allowed, because Heard wasn’t the one being sued and the uk judge relied heavily on the premise that she had donated all of her divorce money, which we all now know was a big old lie and if you read his verdict, he doesn’t seem to believe the concept of people lying on the stand, he didn’t take into consideration any evidence that went against Heard

That one was only decided on by three experienced judges though Niamh, they didn’t have the input of Ted, Paul, Simon, Linda, Nick and Susie from Virginia who are better equipped. Linda’s brother was falsely accused once, and Nick has watched every courtroom drama there is!

Because Johnny was the victim and Heard made the world believe he was the perpetrator, when the media is on the side of his accuser, why wouldn’t he want to the world to watch and make their own minds up?

It was reviewed by three judges, and 12 of 14 accounts were found to be substantiated.

There is a video of him being the perpetrator you can watch with your own eyes (and then claim it’s not violent/abusive because he was provoked/verbal abuse and intimidation isn’t “really” abuse or whatever the MRA’s are peddling on that)

In my opinion, a libel case being decided on by a non-specialised jury is going to be dubious in terms of legal accuracy. In my opinion, an assessment of domestic violence made by a jury of non-specialised individuals is going to be dubious in terms of accuracy. I summed this up flippantly as “hillbillies”. My intent was to highlight that jury verdicts are far from gospel at the best of times, and when it’s something as nuanced as spousal abuse that’s even more the case. I don’t understand why the US does these trials as trial by jury and not a specialised expert court system, but that’s their business. I don’t have to put any stock at all in a decision made by some random people off the street. Random people off the street think TikToks about a domestic violence case are “good fun”.

Domestic abuse survivors should be able to speak openly about their experiences without a massive burden of proof that means they can be sued for not staying silent. She should have been well within her rights to write an OpEd about her relationship. He would have been well within his rights to write one countering what she said. That’s fair and balanced. This circus has been neither and has been detrimental to victims of abuse.



One hundred percent agree with your last paragraph.

They haven’t been “proved to be false” they just haven’t been successfully proven to be true. Extremely difficult to “prove” anything false.

Who you BELIEVE and what you BELIEVE is not important; as I said, she should have been free to speak about this relationship and he should have been free to counter that with his own version, and then people can BELIEVE whoever they want to believe.

This is about being safe to speak about it without threat of legal action. Or being deliberately shamed across the internet.

Yes the video that shows Johnny Depp being violent and intimidating, slamming doors, smashing objects, grabbing things and throwing out insults… that you still think was ok if his “buttons had been pushed”. Can I ask Zizu… do you behave this way if your wife “pushes your buttons”? Would you? And if not, why not?

That’s exactly what they want people to do.

I’m a firm believer of punishment for anybody that is proven, clearly and convincingly, to have made false accusations on the levels she made, whether they be man or woman, there should be repercussions for people who wield the very serious allegations of these kinds as a weapon to further themselves or destroy somebody else.

“Punishment for anyone proven to have made false allegations” - if your bar for that “proof” is as low as it has been for Heard, then all you’re saying is that you don’t think anyone should be able to accuse their partner of abuse. Because most people can’t prove it and in this case, a video of him being abusive was deemed “not good enough” :idc:.

Most women already don’t speak up. You’re saying you’d like even less to speak up, because if they’re not convincing enough they’ll be punished for it. It’s disgusting. Do you feel the same way about sexual assault victims? If there’s not enough evidence to charge the person they accused, the accuser should face consequences for accusing them?

I know a lot of MRA’s think that way so I’m just wondering if you’re on that same train of thought.

Though from what you’ve said previously on the thread it seems like you want some sort of “best of both” scenario where MALE victims are encouraged to speak out more, but FEMALE victims better not if they can’t prove it. Is that about right?

The only 'abuse' I saw was to the cabinets and cupboards. I don't understand how people can condone her secretly filming this meltdown , when she sent the video to one of the biggest celebrity gossip media platforms. Yet it's wrong that the trial was 'televised' ??.But their dirty laundry was already out there.

Slamming objects around and smashing glasses in an intimidating/aggressive manner is a form of domestic abuse. I know you disagree but that’s not “opinion”, at least not in this country, it’s classed as domestic violence. By domestic violence professionals, by the police, by the courts. Those are just the facts.

Domestic violence professionals also RECOMMEND that victims of such abuse try to record the abuser for evidence. They TELL them to do it, to make videos, recordings, and take pictures etc… turns out it can simply be twisted against the person recording.

Should she have sent it to the media if she did indeed do that? No, she definitely shouldn’t have, but that has absolutely nothing to do with his actions IN the video.

Same. All I’ve seen was people calling him a saint and he’s far from a saint. I wouldn’t say someone who defended Roman Polanski is a saint. He has done a lot of problematic stuff.

$10.35 million (or $8.35 million if you take the $2 million into account). I know people are struggling with the maths though.

He walked straight into the kitchen on the other side and went straight for the cabinets, how is that intimidating AH?, She was not scared or concerned for that matter . She wanted attention so she kept trying to get a reaction for her little video soap.

He poured himself a glass of wine, to which she said a snarky comment like " did you drink all that " , or something to that effect. And that's when he saw her filming.
