So Johnny Depp won…

Amber Heard defamed him….where? The op-ed doesn’t mention him at all? He won all that money because it was implied he abused her.
They’re both vile people, but sorry, this is a powerful, mega rich man who is seen as an excellent actor, who has public opinion on his side. The jury can see this and have bent if not broken the law to find in his favour.
Victims of abuse will be more afraid to speak out now. #MeToo has been set back years.

Nice one, America 😥

I agree the fact he made a fuss about that when he wasn't even mentioned shows he has a guilty conscience and yeah me being a victim of abuse, it definitely makes me think twice about speaking out, if Johnny has a guilty conscience then everything he said in court was lies which says in court the abuser will always win, and the victim will suffer more abuse and be classed as a liar.

@thedreamer1975 except that just isn't true. He lost two major movie roles. Those of us subject to narcisstic abuse recognise it in Amber. She is the abuser. And unlike you the court system has determined my opinion is the right one.
thedreamer1975 · 46-50, F
@SW-User he probably lost those roles because of the drugs, nothing to do with the magazine the threats he made in the texr messages about her are a damn site worse, attempted murder threat thats a prison sentence right there, he did this himself but as abusers do he blamed her his victim.
thedreamer1975 · 46-50, F
@thedreamer1975 but she messed it up for herself in court as she admitted what was in the magazine was; about him
thedreamer1975 · 46-50, F
@thedreamer1975 but in a video clip she asked him way he kept running away? I then called her a liar because only a victim runs away, i know that as i run away from my partner when he is shouting at me, and he follows me and says the same thing. That tells me they are both abusers and should not be given anything the money should just go to the charity's
SW-User
@thedreamer1975 attempted murder threats? Are you serious? If is common for abuse victims to joke with their friends about offing their abuser

And yeah sure, he immediately lost the roles after the article, calling out Hollywood for not acting on her allegations, for completely unrelated reasons
SW-User
@thedreamer1975 yes, this one?

@SW-User [quote]And, unlike you, the court system has determined that my opinion is the right one[/quote]

Not according to the UK court system where Depp lost a defamation case against a national newspaper that called him a wide beater. The decision in the US does not override the previous decision.

The facts are that the jury was completely taken in and deceived by Depp’s lawyers, who were far better than Heards, into essentially ignoring the law. This was a classic Darvo manoeuvre. Heard did not defame Depp as she did not mention him by name.

But still, your stubborn silliness in not looking facts in the face is a whole lotta “not my problem”

@SW-User You just won't stop

If you weren't determined to be a jerk you could easily have found put the flaws in the UK case

For example you are probably fully aware that one of the main reasons the judge gave in that case was that she had donated the money

Really anyone who would defend a woman making up abuse allegations is no better than she is

A normal human empathic cannot listen to the tapes and facts which are available and continue to smear Depp because a manipulative liar [i]and abuser[/i] has hijacked their few existing brain cells

Go away.

@SW-User mentioning by name is hardly necessary for defamation. She thought insinuating it made her so clever. She lost
thedreamer1975 · 46-50, F
@SW-User i would never joke about offing my abuser, or send messages to my friends and say it, send him back to his mama maybe but what happens to him after that is up to God.
SW-User
@thedreamer1975 oh I have. It helps relieve the tension and sense of powerlessness.

But that is good you don't, or wouldn't. You sound very earnest.

You are sharing the planet though, with people that while gentle, also have very dark senses of humour.

@SW-User i don't want to go to prison, id rather go to the gym and punch a punchbag or kick it, it safer and he can't have me arrested for that, as he has already threatened to have me arrested for punching a cushion when he provoked me.

@Slade not only that i had a fly buzzing around my head on afternoon and he was asleep on the sofa, i told the fly if it came near me again it was going to die, in other words i was gonna swat it, when he woke he told me he was going to have me arrested for threatening to murder him, what? I was talking to a fly.
