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.

I remember OJs trial, I can tell you he wasn't getting as much hate as AH has

OJ's trial was PRE social media era , that's probably why.

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 .

Oh yeah I know but I bet my life that if his trial was today he'd have a big portion of people trying to make a hero out of him too

But you can't really say that Niamh , like I said it was obvious he was guilty no matter what the verdict said So I disagree . They'll always be trolls etc supporting criminals.

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 .

OJ even wrote a book afterwards titled "If I did it" So gross and so unjust how he got away with that.

Speaking of Pistorius though I distinctly remember arguing with someone on TiBB about him, some people believed his version. I need to try and find that thread!

Yeah I know about the book ,but I've never read it.

But like I said you'll always get some people either trolling,or who blindly support someone despite a ton of evidence . Surely that was in the minority with anyone defending Pistorious ? .

AH & JD both have their fans aswell , I don't care what anyone says there's still excuses made for AH but yes it's in the minority .

I think I remember it being discussed on here, yeah. I also remember having heated arguments about it with customers at work. Of course some of the heated arguments were with people who were simply annoyed that I had the trial on the TV behind the counter when "that should just be for betting events!!"

[edit] Should add that peole did try to bet on the outcome. I imagine they're trying with the Depp/Heard trial, too

[GoldHeart]

Well I remember discussing the Pistorious trial with family and at work with colleagues ,and all of us could see he was definitely did it .

Someone at work laughed as he couldn't believe how stupid, he could be to 'blast & shoot a closed door several times'.. without calling out his girlfriend's name/ seeing if she's ok.

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.

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.
