I don’t hate myself enough to delve deep into the depp/heard lore. I see that people seem to think he’s absolved, is that real? Do they both suck equally? Tell me how to feel, fellow echo chamber members!
This shit pisses me off, and it know it really shouldn’t because both Johnny and Amber are rich asshole celebrities who I will never meet, and will only ever see in increasingly shitty movies. It’s pretty clear from the legal case in :ukkk: that Johnny Depp married a woman 23 years his junior, and then proceeded to beat the shit out of her. The people who are like “I’m a feminist, but I thought that Amber got what she deserved because she was a manipulative gold digger” can fuck off.
:this:
The recent suit wasn’t even about who abused whom (courts had already found Depp guilty of this) it was about whether or not an article that Heard wrote about being a victim of abuse was defamation, despite not mentioning Depp — people treat it like the former and not the latter and keep doing the enlightened centrism thing of “they’re both shitty” which isn’t the point here
Amber.

Might want to throw a CW on that friend
He is abusive and dealing with a rich powerful man you both know can get away with abusing you would give you some very toxic coping mechanisms.
Also british liable law is wildly broken. Some holdover from chivalry and monarchy. If someone brings a lible claim gainst you it is by default assumed they are correct. And the standard of evidence to defend yourself is useually impossible to reach.
He’s a scumbag and that entire court case was some of the most damaging shit to women being able to open up about abuse. He needs to be shot out of a cannon into space
he beat the shit out of his wife on multiple occasions. though not everyone is willing to admit this, legally speaking that is objectively true and indisputable. but after he dragged his wife’s name through the mud in an incredibly successful social media campaign he convinced a jury that even though the facts all point to him being abusive, it was still defamatory for her to say that. apparently it recently came out that he had tampered with evidence? i’m not really following this tbh, but that’s my understanding.
amber heard also seems like she sucks, but way less than depp.
The dude beat his wife. What’s with all the both-sidesing going on here?
People just hate women
Quite a shame in seeing it here. You haven’t seen the ones where some users here were saying “Hunter is cool” and how its dudes rocking, despite being implicated in sex trafficking and openly racist.
Mostly just ignorance of anything beyond “cocaine man funny” that people say this
I used to not care and then I realized that the way Depp is suing Heard for defamation also sets a precedent for talking about abuse you suffered being something you’re civilly liable for
Upon further research Depp is a real scumbag. The Manson Salo thing is the most obvious example to point to
This shit was definitely glommed on to by people with an axe to grind about metoo.
This stuff is a pretty transparently part of the reaction against metoo yeah.
According to British courts he beat his spouse. I’m not a fan.
:trueanon: did a good episode on this (or maybe it was just a small part of another episode)
I hope no one here is on his side
We fuckin hate him. He’s a wife-beater. Amber Heard doesn’t have to be the perfect victim, she told the truth and was vilified for it.
Amber.
No AB, it’s a false positive
Pretty clear Johnny Depp hired a PR firm to swing public opinion back to his side
I don’t know anything about the actual court case but anyone who tries to tell me how to think can eat shit and die :hst-gun:
all that reddit shit has to be astroturfed
It’s the best type of bourgeois spectacle. It’s like bum fights, but instead of two unhoused people, it’s two rich assholes. Whoever loses, we win.
If you like legal drama, load up the whole-day episodes from Law and Crime on YouTube, and enjoy. I know I did.
An abused woman losing is not a win.
One question in the back of my mind is: if I imply, say, Bill Gates raped underage women with the help of Jeffrey Epstein, can I be sued for 10 million US dollars as well?
It’s only defamation if it’s not true
In britian it is simply always defamation unless your lawyer bribes a judge. It is wild over there
What a horrible island
