Johnny Depp's Defamation Suit

[Veggie50]

What video is that? There are so many...

I saw this one video of her being in court for abusing her former girlfriend (has she been in court for abuse for all her relationships??), she did this wicked smile at the accusations, like "yeah, i did that, whatchagoingtodoaboutit??"

Totally creep city!

It was audio only. She was clearly on drugs, insisting JD suck her dick, cackling like crazy.

Amber's sister's testimony looks really good for Amber. She's the only person to say she actually saw Depp abuse Amber. Depp is going to need one hell of a cross examination to recover.

Rocky's was a bit laughable when she started crying claiming Amber had two black eyes in a picture she clearly didn't have any black eyes. It was a bit surreal and kind of killed any credibility she had. Like has she ever seen someone wake up without makeup before in her life?

[Eugenik]

Anyone seen the OP alive? After all that shilling for AH (ouch painful initials) last few days in court he must've snapped.

Havent gone any where. Just found this to be very unproductive and decided to stop contributing.

[Jotaux]

He's only back because Amber is having a good day in court. Honestly, if I heard the testimony today and none of Amber's her claims would be way more believable. Amber taking the stand was the best thing for Depp.

[Draco-Onis]

Amber taking the stand was the best thing for Depp.

Yup, her taking the stand was a like watching a plane crash she lied so obviously so many times I don't think anything can save her case. The whole thing is based on the her being believable but lying and fighting so many times over the tiniest thing even when it's obvious she was lying made things so bad.

[Jastall]

The only way I see Depp losing is if it's on some stupid "Well she called you an abuser and both of you are, therefore she was telling the truth" angle. She's clearly vile herself and lied about a fair amount of what she claims happened. Common sense destroys her narratives; why/how are you out partying and on late night shows literally hours after you claim Depp tried to kill you?

It genuinely feels like, best case scenario for her, they were in an imperfect marriage and treated each other badly and she called him an abuser to get some petty revenge, and worst case was the perpetrator of most/all of it.

The trial isn't about deciding who's the better person and handing them a prize. It's about knowing if Heard defamed Depp by calling him an abuser. Considering his behavior could very easily be interpreted as abusive (regardless of her own shitty behavior) and how defamation is very hard to prove in the US, Depp likely won't win the case. But that's not what he's seeking, he's targeting the court of public opinion where people do treat this as a game show where the "better" person wins.

Exactly. And the bar is set pretty low in her favor. Hypothetically even he pushed her away after she antagonized him for hours then the law would protect her - and similar scenario was described by him.

The recordings absolutely destroyed her public image. Her testimony destroyed her image. The facts that came up next to her actions prior to the trial have destroyed her reputation.

Depp's reputation will more or likely stay the same in terms of 'fans and liability'. I don't think they original accusations actually really did anything but make people double down on whether they liked him or not, or just remain neutral as a lot of people are with celebrities. Of course he lost jobs but that's more due to optics than actually liking him. Post trial, opinions will be reinforced once again. Either you already liked him and glad he got his story out, don't and will celebrate him losing the trial, or just move on with your opinion of him.

The biggest picture is for those who have been in relationships with someone like Heard or in a codependent toxic relationship where one side took things way out of their mutual boundaries (even if toxic for most). Man or woman. Heard has all the markers of an abuser, seen in both men and women and to see that bullshit put in the open in public is vindication for people who have had to deal with people like her. Depp ain't no saint but Heard is on a completely different level. Her kind of manipulative behavior in conjunction with the physical is horrible. Then she tried to exploit the sympathy people have for those who actually gone through DV for favor and attention? She is a terrible person. Thankfully put her acting skills on full display for future casting directors to review. Depp lost his jobs over rumors. She is going to lose hers because she clearly sucks at playing a victim in front of an audience. Villain? Sociopath? She can do that very well though

I always do enjoy watching a career self-immolation unfold in front of our eyes.

[postman1782]

She will win, despite being a liar and a psychopath.

And that has nothing to do with her being a woman or a victim. It has to do with the legalities of what is and isn't defamation.

This has been a mutually toxic and violent relationship, and much if not most of it was initiated by Heard, but that is irrelevant to the technical question before the jury. Namely, was Depp violent and would the term "domestic abuser" apply to him in the broadest sense of the definition? And there the answer is yes.

Him getting any favorable verdict would be shocking and would be instantly overturned in appeals.

Absolutely no way that Heard wins with all the bullshit against her. She has been shit on at every question and all of the evidence.

Her testimony isn't consistent with Amber's testimony though. Amber's recounting of the event was that she thought Johnny was going to push Whitney down the stairs and punched him before he was able to, Whitney's testimony was that he hit her from behind, then Amber punched Johnny, then Johnny grabs Amber by the hair and repeatedly punches her in the face, in the presence of Debbie Lloyd and Travis McGivern.

Well, nothing from Amber's testimony can be believed, she was literally warned about perjury.

[beanman12345]

Today is what Amber's team should have lead with. Credible, likeable, and believable witnesses, not Amber or whatever the fuck that doctor was they had first.

Whenever she herself is credible doesn't matter much, Depp is the one making the accusations and has to prove his claim. Whenever she's a bad person herself or not is completely irrelevant, as is the fact most people seem to believe Depp over her. When talking about the trial, all that matters is that Depp is able to prove not only that there was no grounds whatsoever for him being called an abuser by Heard/the Sun back then, but that it was done with malicious intent. That's a very, very tall order. Defamation is hard to prove in America by design.

All the media circus surrounding the trial, the salacious stories and such, that's for public consumption. PR. There's not that much there that'll actually influence the course of the trial.

She has to prove her case too. This isn't just Depp suing her, she's suing him as well.

Her sister's testimony certainly hurt his chances of actually winning the trial, but from all of the photo evidence so far, it's very clear that if (or probably when) Johnny hit her, it wasn't very hard, or even hard. All of these pictures of her "black eyes" and "Broken noses" and "split lips" show none of those things. So as far as the jury is likely thinking, she's nuts, and lying. Her credibility is in the shitter. Even if Johnny doesn't win this, Heard's reputation is shit, and Johnny has in part redeemed himself.

The judge warned her about perjury?

Even if she was, I doubt much will come of it. Perjury is the willful telling of untruths, i.e. they'd have to demonstrate that she knew what she was saying was BS. From how insane she's been acting, it's pretty clear she believes everything she says is true. She's one of those special people who seems capable of constructing a fake reality to hide from the shit she's done.

https://www.newsweek.com/amber-heard...-trial-1707773

She said she donated $3.5 million to charity, then said under oath that she hadn't.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...e-charity.html

I know it is the daily fail, but she said in UK court that she had donated the $3.5 million, and then in court in this defamation case, she says she hasn't. So now she is possibly looking at a perjury probe.

That’s… not what I asked. Who warned her about perjury in court? You said she was warned and that means her testimony is suspect. All I see is someone who thinks a pledge is the same as a donation. Not knowing what words mean isn’t the same thing as perjury.

[jonnysensible]

Depp was abusive can't see this case going well for him. Always funny to watch wierdo rich people opening their freak lives up to court.
