Annemarie – Yep, Johnny Depp is painfully pretentious and his smirking is problematic. But in her, all I have ever seen is a gold digger and social climber. Lying about her donation to the Children’s Hospital is just the lowest. She’s been good at manipulating Important Men and she will probably have more success at that. She is a cunt who should go down but agree wholeheartedly about her wardrobe.

Still, I will never get over you ghosting me; there is just no excuse. It’s so hurtful and cowardly. I trusted you so completely. My mistake.

I too have watched hours and hours of it. Sometimes I just listened to it on my headphones while I did things like clean the toilet. I found it oddly soothing– that people who are so much MORE than us (better looking, richer, more successful) are in reality such petty, pathetic scumbags. It made me think that if we all had the kind of resources that they have it would be like Hobbes’s war of all against all. But we don’t: when people are hurt us, all we can do is get drunk and eat chocolate and *let it go.*

Look, I fucking hate Johnny Depp. I had no opinion of him before, but after watching his smug, self-important mug recounting such stupid bullshit all these weeks with his weirdly pretentious diction– fuck him. And the witnesses who described him as “incredibly intelligent”– he’s a dunce and a dullard and clearly suffers from wet brain.

He’s a sleazy fuck too. Now, I know love is blind and on a case by case basis I am far more open-minded, but in general I believe that men dating/marrying women more than twenty years their junior is absolutely a symptom of misogynistic culture. The bits where he congratulated himself for helping her with her career; the numerous times he called her “talentless”; the moment when the Warner Bros guy, asked to explain “chemistry,” said “it’s like being a movie star: some people have it, some don’t” and Johnny Depp smirked knowingly: it was all so slimy, so paternalistic.

One of them is lying or one of them is crazy. I do think it’s important to remember that Johnny Depp was always very private– very few paparazzi pics of him, none of his kids until they were grown, an interview every couple of years. This lends him some credibility. Unless he has lost his mind– he was so belligerent and passive aggressive on the stand that I wouldn’t rule that out.

Or it could be her who is lying or is crazy. Sure. Even so, when Depp’s hot lawyer made the closing arguments and said that Amber Heard had no friends and there was no one in the courtroom supporting her, my heart hurt for her. Is that not everyones worst fucking nightmare, to be so alone, so hated, so unwanted on this earth? Plus, I thought her own defense, the one she delivered while on the stand, was far superior to the one her attorneys provided for her. She’s more intelligent than Depp; he was out-horsed in that department.

I’m not “on her side,” but I think she deserves more sympathy than she’s had. She was in her early 20s when she met him. She fell in love with him, but he turned out to be drug-addled dickhead who thinks he’s much smarter than he actually is (those ppl are always loathsome) and enjoys the company of Marilyn Manson (eew). I’d have wanted to kick his ass too.

I look forward to the jury’s decision (by the way, can you believe that public resources went into this shit show, that real people had to take leave from their real jobs to do this?!). In terms of the specific legal issue, he has to lose– he fucked his own career up years before all by himself. She should also lose her countersuit. But the law and all those huge sums of money that are at stake never mattered to Johnny Depp– the whole thing was driven by his desire for revenge. That’s what I find so disgusting about this thing, and that’s why I’m kind of a reluctant supporter of Heard (tho she’s clearly a cunt too).

I did like her courtroom attire though– unimpeachable, in my opinion.

Kate Loving Shenk – Yep, Tik Tok is on it! I now see the value of that platform.

Tom -Like I said, fair enough. But I think she’s gotten enough money out of her brief marriage.

Chos – Well, abut that’s only if you believe her accusations.

MARK-EE – I realize the jewelry is a non-starter for you, but the theatrics make it worth your time. I mean, even I can’t look at his jewelry!

Bevitron – I wish I could make you a highlights reel!

And no, I never wanted to sleep with Johnny Depp. Amber, maybe. But all that is irrelevant in a Court of law.

Perhaps they are both abusers. If so, then they both may write articles about being abused. Such articles would not then be defamation. The Jury is a total wild card. They may well be as enamored with JD as you and all the Internet self-styled experts are (not calling you the latter btw). We’ve seen the wisdom of Juries in the OJ and Kyle Rittenhouse cases. If it were me deciding, I would declare the article not defamation and the calling her a liar in the press by JD and his team the defaming lies and award her the $100 million she is asking for.

Perhaps I’m just falling for a pretty face but I don’t think so. We will probably never really know the truth here.
