A charity demanding for money from the victim they tried to destroy. Ironic in the worst sense
Camille made partner at her law firm too so I hope she goes after the UCLA hard! That lady is an absolute Queen
Pathetic
Do you mean the ACLU is a charity?
Well said
Totally agree!
What charity would demand money from anyone? A charity with a greedy agenda. Disgusting
Actually all charities, LOL.
But I get your point. ACLU is asking way too much. And they have the audacity to ask Johnny for money after taking part in destroying his career!
A charity with a greedy agenda? No way...
Johnny should demand that his accountants inspect their books to see exactly where the money goes, & into whose pockets. That will shut them up for good.
the ACLU is just as bad as the Clinton fund
@Antonia there are many charities that have been exposed as scams, that's why people are skeptical
I cannot believe how far this has gone. One woman can do all of this damage, that's scary! She was awarded 7 mill, said she didn't want it (with a deceptive smirk on that show) and was supposed to give it all to charities. She didn't. She gave a small amount to appease them. I just can't believe all of the lies surrounding that woman. She needs to pay for all of this!
Pathological liar gets caught in lie. What are the odds?
@@juliawilly9151 her getting caught in a lie , is almost as natural as me breathing
Actually she paid zero. Elon Musk donated some on her behalf.
The initial payment of the 7mil was roughly a couple hundred thousand & it was paid directly by Johnny Depp. Once ah realized he was making payments directly she put a stop to it & all remaining funds went directly to ah.
No money has been given the the charity by ah directly despite receiving the funds from JD
Not 7, over 14m.
There is no way it costs $86k to produce documents. Even if you're talking about paper work that has been buried for 50 years. This is extortion.
It takes so much effort though. Documents are probably PDF files 😂
The ACLU helped write the op-ed. they’re lucky they weren’t co-defendants. Also they SHOULD be knocking on AH’s door for the remainder of her “pledge” instead of asking for a hand out from JD when they played such an integral part in writing the op-ed that led him to sue her in the first place. The absolute gall!
Exactly!! 👍
After Johnny gave them $100,000 they are so ungrateful 😒😒😒😒
Exactly Antoinette
They got money but under the table
Look.up the connection graph between amber, ACLU and the UK judge
ACLU needs a course correction. They’re beginning to act like a joke.
theyve been a bad joke for years... a very devious organization.
Good morning. A little late eh? ACLU is a malicious actor for years now.
They still have her as an ambassador last I checked. It's shameful
A joke indeed
The ACL should be ashamed of themselves. They've contributed to the financial downfall and dip in career for Johnny Depp because they are as dishonest as Shambles is. They need to review their policies and practices. Disgusting!
It is so disgusting how this so called "charity" acts just for money. I smell greediness from them 😒
It seems they are victims advocate for women only.
They are lucky they didn't get their asses sued. This whole thing has dramatically changed the way I see them and their integrity in general.
"...sued." Yet!!!
HE should sue THEM for their role in the defamation!
agree..💯
Exactly
He should but unfortunately he cant
He sued the sun twice and it didn't end well for him, he learnt his lesson about suing mulit-million dollar companpies and went after his wife instead.
Katie Ikr! So true
Amber, her team, and her so-called charities all have one thing in common: it's ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.
Charities do generally need money
@@redlady935 “Amica cream”!😂 omg, I just belly laughed.
@@redlady935 There's a difference between needing money to function, and demanding nearly $90,000 for some documents that they legally had to produce.
Also considering how they defended Amber despite her lies, and fought to keep the truth secret, I honestly hope they do lose their money. Fast.
I agree about the ACLU but not the Children's Hospital.
Agreed!!!
It’s the audacity for me… not only has he donated to them but they helped write the op-Ed… ridiculous
Really they are entitled to taking responsibility for not verifying their story and source. The nerve!
He should say “I’ll pay after Amber actually donates what she pledged😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😆
A good one! 🎯
Lol
@Lakshya it’s synonyms 😂
@NesDogg OMG YES! baahahahahah!
The audacity of ACLU.
You cant spell ACLU without that huge “L”
They should be going after Amber for lying about donating to them. Imagine defending someone that used you to make themselves look good?
They're going after a DV victim essentially. The ACLU can remove itself from now on.
I don't understand why are they even demanding money !! When does charity demands money. What a greedy organization.
I assumed one paid up front in full when the copies were made???? That's usually how a third or otherwise involved party does it???
Are they charging themselves for making the copies?How much is paper nowadays?
Lol
(Smells like fishy-baloney served to the victims??? )
For anyone who didn't get it:
When you have a trial, and you need some other organization to produce evidence for you - that organization is entitled to ask for costs to be compensated. It makes sense - they spend work hours, paper, printer ink, etc. If someone needs to be deposed or called as a witness - it is reasonable to ask for the time of that person to be compensated accorfing to their wages. Why should a firm pay for you having a lawsuit that doesn't concern them? That is fair.
ACLU's expenses were around 1080 I believe. That is what they are entitled to.
But ACLU didn't want to testify or produce stuff. So they hired lawyers to try to wriggle out of it. They also hired lawyers to go through the requested documents and try to make a case not to disclose them. That failed. And it cost them arounf 85000.
Now,they are NOT entitled to have that compensated. It is their own problem how careful they wanted to be, or if they wanted to fight the subpoenas.
Imagine you having a simple litigation and asking a 3rd party firm to produce a document. And they hire 10 of the top America's lawyers that cost over $5000 an hour all together to fight that request. You should not be asked to compensate that insane expense! This is entirely on that firm.
The only costs that ACLU can ask to be comensated for - are costs that can not be avoided. Like material and time actually spent on producing - not checking or fighting! - but producing the documents you need.
You've discovered where the ACLU's inflated costs come from. Thank you. All they had to do was provide the documents requested but they hired lawyers to suppress what documentation and information they could to absolve their organization of any culpability contributing to Mr Depp's defamation or something like that.
They should have done more research on Mr Depp before backing Ms Heard. They would have found he doesn't have a background of DA. They weren't very smart. I'm so disappointed in the ACLU getting their hands dirty with Heard's quest for fame. And even after Mr Depp wins his defamation case, the ACLU makes themselves look worse by suing a victim of DA for an absurd amount of money when they're only entitled to be compensated for producing legal documents and court testimony.
I'm so disappointed in the ACLU, they're not the organization I once knew and respected.
Absolutely ! Their client and their mistake ! Need to button it and get Amber off the board
ah thanks! what do you see happening with this?🤔 I dont know anything about this stuff but the news put a pit in my stomach 😫
@@eveningstar6700 I see him paying 1k as proper and the rest gets dismissed
Thanks for the explanation of where they got their numbers from. I assumed it was because they were horrible at book keeping and wasted labor
this is why you should always be careful when you donate your money to this kind of organization bcause its just all about the money for them , not for charity & helping people
Aren’t they a victim’s rights organization? Was it not proven that Johnny was the victim here? Sounds like they want to further victimize him as revenge for proving they’re a sham of a charity. Shameful.
That! Is a very strong argument 👏
No they are a free speech organization. They help people who's free speech is being suppressed by the government.
Think of them as the NRA for the 1st amendment.
Unfortunately- they have gone beyond defending free speech to "believe all women all the time without evidence" similar to how the NRA went beyond defending reasonable gun ownership to "the right to own guns supercedes all other rights in the constitution".
Hopefully, *both* organizations will head towards more reasonable middle ground.
"Aren't they a victim's rights organization?"
Well, not anymore.
The ACLU is a HUMAN RIGHTS organization. That encompasses LOTS of stuff....
I mean, what they do is right there in the name... AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION.....
How DARE they sue Johnny?!?!! They were the ones who helped publish an article suggesting horrible things that got Johnny's reputation ruined!
fr like bruh why aren't they held accountable too
The audacity of them. This whole mess was because of them. Of course they would support wicked people like Amber, birds of a feather and all that🙄
@@RealRoryanne because no one has the money to sue them in court.
@@khadz1705 Johnny does
Exactly merry moss they have some nerve. They need to go after Amber not him
As if they haven't managed to discredit themselves sufficiently. I see a loss in donations when people think about how they're using donated funds
Dang. Considering they are the ones who conspired with her to put out the op-ed, never even checking with him to see if any of it was true, and they wrote a large part of it, and of all the money she "pledged" to them the only portion they got was the portion he gave them directly.... ya think they'd have issued a public apology, not demanded money. They have already threw integrity into the wind years ago, but now they just showed how pathetic they really are.
A non-profit organization seeking compensation for profit is unreal!
While I disagree with their decision to charge and send a demand notice, they are claiming their actual cost associated with the production of documents (I am not sure about the time for depositions and testimony). However, given the situation, it's inappropriate even if it is legal.
@@B_Bodziak That is just it, they claim to be a non-profit organization, and receive millions per year from gullible donators. And on top of that, they sided with Amber Heard, repeatedly, and helped her defame him. ACLU is trash.
I’m never donating to them again. EVER.
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim If you want to donate, go directly to the cause that needs it unless you want 99% of your donation to go straight into the charity organizers' bank accounts to pay for their family vacations.
Fake non-profit
They really went about this the wrong way. They could have asked for a donation and I’m sure he would have been happy to do so. Now that they’re essentially attacking him for it he’s sort of forced to defend himself
He's already donated $100k to them.
Exactly I was thinking the same thing.
@@jhandle900 why they after him for money
@@yoshimitsu8643 for document preparation.
@@yoshimitsu8643 greed
They charged like 500-700$ /hr for 30+ hours of work preparing the documents under a subpoena. Imagine just how much of your donation just simply goes to their salary and their "expenses" if they think that's what their work is worth in a non profit organization. People are really just donating for a lifetime of their salary while they pretend to do some work.
I am actually really shocked that ACLU would stoop to this level. I had some respect for them . Not anymore.
ACLU has a lot of nerve . they will never see 1 dime of my money.
Boy, everyone wants a piece of him. Maybe they should go after her, since she’s the one who wrote the piece.
No benefits going after AH .she's broke
the ACLU wrote the piece for her.
Right?! That was my thoughts when I heard about the ACLU going after him. Why does he have to pay?? He was the victim of the op-ed!
There's no money on her side though, lol
Laura I agree
Wait, so they helped write the op-ed and now they’re saying “we helped you in this trial so pay us”? This is BS
Leave Johnny alone!!! 😢
First of all they owe Johnny a big apology for what they've done. Second they should knock on AH door and explain her to fullfill her pledge. Third they should remove her as a from as ACLU ambassor. She was convicted from court for defamation with false accusations she did with malice. This organization is so sick!!!! I hope they will loose many members and donators for their disgusting behavior.
I believe they will.
@@Fairyviewroad I don't believe they will , if they had any intention of removing her as an ambassador they would have already
@@jackwhitbread4583 He meant that they will lose many members, while everyone agrees that the ACLU will not correct their misbehavior.
It's already happening. I've come across plenty of comments from people who stated they will never again donate any money to ACLU. That organisation has lost its moral compass and deserve to be hauled over hot coals for their conduct, especially for trying to extort money from the victim of their own shenanigans.
Just proves they are shaddy af like many of those big charties.
At this point, I’ve officially lost all respect for the ACLU
I lost all respect for the ACLU when they went after a rancher for holding illegal aliens for the arrival of Border Patrol. They go all out for illegal aliens, but stick it to Americans.
They need to caddy bar the door !!!
Lol, they've lost my respect years ago. I'm just glad people are catching on.
Me, too. Ive always supported the ACLU, but now Im flabbergasted not knowing what they actually stand for.
@@sachikowoods6520 I'm sure there are worst things the ACLU has done that we don't know about. I remember when the ACLU went after the rancher who held illegal aliens for the Border Patrol to show up. He was doing his duty, yet the illegal aliens claimed they feared for their life and the blood sucking ACLU went to court against this rancher. I'll never forget that! Blood suckers as far as I am concerned.
Really makes you think about what they're actually doing with that money.
It surprised me that asking “charity” to provide documents and testimony could be that expensive.
Do they charge a lot for their “service” too?
The op-ed they helped to write is the root cause of needing those documents. Why should they be rewarded? Ridiculous
ACLU should have sent an apology letter for colluding with Amber to defame Johnny Depp.
Agree Tania
The delusion is real.
Exactly!
Maybe something is already in the works for that kind of step by Team Depp? idk
This case has set the ACLU back. The reputation they’ve built over the last 102 years almost all down the drain. They need an Olivia Pope type fixer after this😅.
They are allowed to claim reasonable expenses for providing the requested evidence not an exorbitant fee of their choosing. I hope they get outed hard for this. They are on the verge of a PR nightmare and are seemingly blind to the potential for damage.
You mean just like what happened to, uh, ah?
@@barbarapettry6817 Exactly
So the one that lied about donating the money doesnt get sued but the one who already donated to them gets sued LOL wtf
So now they are attacking him in court over $86K when he has donated hundreds of thousands to them? Talk about biting the hand that feeds you! He's donated more to them than they're asking for. That seems odd for a charity....especially if they could have just sent his lawyer a letter going something like this, "We have incurred some legal costs at the expense of your trial. Instead of asking those costs be repaid we would like to offer you the opportunity to make a contribution to our charity. We also recognize your past donations and would like to extend our thanks for those."
I think they would have been better received. This act was designed to harass him 100%
ACLU is butt hurt because the trial exposed just how gullible they were, being taken in by Heard's lies. They also know they'll never see the money pledged by Heard. So they're going after her victim.
Excellent points!
Somebody hire this person asap
I've given money to charities and a few weeks later the phone calls(Dozens) will start asking for more money. Those charities get taken off the list of charities I like to support I am not wealthy there is only so much I can give.
I feel bad for Johnny. They’ll never leave that guy alone. Between Amber Heards appeal and the ACLU lawsuit he’s going to be in court forever. When you’re rich and famous everyone wants a piece of you. It’s like they don’t even see you as a person anymore more like an ATM machine.
In my eyes and perhaps millions of others this organization’s credibility and reputation has been seriously tarnished. Heard an ambassador with a promise of donations. And now they don’t get a penny. Joke’s on them.
86k for pulling up some documents and being on an hour zoom call, they really are crooks.
So, they're harassing a domestic violence victim now ..... interesting. It begs the question, what do you actually stand for as a charity? Why attack a victim in such an uncouth manner. Only the guilty with something to hide lash out in such fashions. This is petty and pathetic and shouldnt even be allowed.
Johnny's a class act. Gotta love him. Isn't there anyone around to care enough to say Amber "you need help." In his heart of hearts I bet Johnny still feels bad for her. But then thing I can't believe is one of the smartest men on earth ..... " dated her " just goes to prove all a man's blood can't rush to two places at once." Another one bites the dust.....
another one bites the dust. Obviously
"Brilliant and seems like a nice guy too."
Much Love from Denver Colorado..
He's absolutely within his rights to do this. Best wishes Johnny!
If anyone owes the ACLU money for the trial, it should be Amber. Without her defamation Johnny wouldn’t have had to sue her. So they should be going after her.
Right! She was the one who promised them the money and said that she had donated it (they knew it) and so they supported her. She's also the same person who didn't donate it even though the agreement to donate that amount was been established in the divorce settlement. Whom ACLU has to sue is Amber.
They know she doesn't have the money. She still owes them half her divorce settlement, so where is the logic in going after Johnny Depp for anything??? They helped defame him!
Or, she should be going after them. If they hadn’t set up the publishment, she wouldn’t owe over 8 million in judgment.
@@juliawilly9151 yeah she would because it wasn't just that publication that was entered as evidence. The chick publicly bashed him on social media and still continues to do so which could land her in more legal trouble if she isn't careful.
I have a question. Since the ACLU was instrumental in writing the op-ed, could Johnny conceivably sue them for defamation as well?
He can, but given how long and draining (both mentally and financially) lawsuits are, I’m sure he won’t. I think he is happy with this outcome. Legally, yes, he could sure the ACLU.
Agree Kim
I think it's past the statute of limitations
He could and he would if they keep on pressing charges or weird defamatory statements or even extortion attempt onto JD's sides (which is pretty absurd considering charity means donation out of willingness, but ACLU is starting to behave like a bandit).
Can someone plz explain how did the ACLU help with the op-ed
This only happened as a result to AH refusing to turn in documents. Which he then requested them to. Once they said no he had to make a request through the judge. To me that was AH not just lying but withholding information pertaining to the case. She should be held responsible as it deals with her lawyers and her giving writings for op-ed. They didn't come forward with a fee while the case was going on. Requesting payment for the work to collect the information. They waited until after just because AH lost.
The facts that so much awareness from the trial has brought awareness to the name ACLU and that people have been introduced to them as a charitable option should have been enough. But no. Greed will end you every time…
Considering Amber denied not paying the money, she is the reason they had to produce documents. Because SHE wouldn't tell the truth. So they should take it up with her not Johnny
They are going for the deeper pockets.
Yes exactly right. 👍
They know shes broke. But wow way to look absolutely terrible ACLU
Their estimated cost for "document production" being over 86K USD is greedy. They're robbing him.
They ghostwrote that op-ed in The Post - to advance a narrative without regard for fact checking.
Amber is crazy and none to bright.
ACLU has much to answer for
I’m glad he’s decided not to pay it. He already donated more than this, and there’s 3 million dollars OF HIS MONEY with AH that they didn’t ask for.
Excellent!!!
They already played a huge role in helping amber defame Jonny with lies but now they are trying to take by force the money of a real victim of DV...they are the worst
How utterly disgusting . How desperate and greedy can a company be!
For a company that does what it does and they act like this. They should be ashamed.
They owe Jonny not the other way round.
A non-profit organization fighting for civil rights, you mean. They are acting like a company, though. Maybe the IRS can revoke their tax-exempt status.
The ACLU is actually a public interest law firm, not a company.
What a greedy and merciless organisation. Give JD a break PLEASE.
They want Johnny to pay for documents the COURT made them present?
That’s ridiculous
This is a VERY common practice for a subpoena of documents. However, given their COO's testimony of their involvement and the now recognized culpability of their client, it's morally inappropriate.
This is very common practice. Depp is not against paying them. The amount they are requesting just happens to be ridiculous.
It’s like suing a waiter because the chef undercooked the chicken
Isn't that standard practice?
it wasn't no 89K or 86 k for all that give me a break are they trying to get their salaries replaced for their time? I think they might be making TOOOO much money!
Wow that is messed up.
Wow, I have no words
For goodness sake! She promised to pay them. Ask her for the rest of her “pledge”!
WHY on earth does he owe them anything WHATSOEVER. It wasn't HIS pledge.
Simply unbelievable!!!!
He’s the victim by her and them! and they say they are for victims rights ?! They have no right to demand this insult to injury. clearly they aren’t a just organization that makes just decisions or comes to just conclusions Maybe an organization to look at closer because this is disturbing
After this trial we stopped all donations and support for the ACLU.
I wasn't even mad about the whole trial between JD and AH, but THIS? THIS MAKES ME LIVID. Can't they give Johnny a break?! And what kind of a charity organization sues someone just because they were not given any money? Make it make sense!
This madness needs to stop, live and let live.
Johnny is a good person who has given his time and money to charities.
Amber was found guilty of NOT donating the money that Johnny gave to her. The ACLU should go after Amber, she is friends with a billionaire. His name is Elon Musk.
Watching that part of the trial, it seemed to me that Camille just wanted ah to admit she hadn't paid the charity money (even though she said in public she had.) If she could get her to admit that she had lied, having all along said she hadn't, her credibility would now be questionable. It seemed that simple, yet that complicated.
Report them to the IRS using Form 13909. There is a section called Nature of violation. I recommend checking the box that says “organization engaged in deceptive or improper fundraising practices.” But it’s up to the individual filer. This can be done anonymously and the form is a Google search away.
For a little dazzle dazzle, you could collect a reward for filing a claim with the Form 211 - Application for Award for Original Information.
You know what, I might actually look into this. I have had a reoccurring donation to the ACLU for 5.5 years, and while I generally believe in their mission, filing a a demand notice for charges of the production of documents needed to prove *their* client's malicious actions, is beyond comprehension. One would think they would have tried to fade into the background after the COO's testimony.
i dont think anyone need to file anything......their lawyer already admited to lying about amber paying the 3 million so she could check in tax rebates....so they conspired in tax fraud
WoW!!!
Imagine donating thousands of dollars to charity and they decide to sue you lol it really makes you wonder where the money people donate to charity goes
I worked as fundraiser in a charity organization like 10 years ago. My boss had fancy cars and was multi millionaire.
@@1nv1nc3ble I would think Your boss (then), being wealthy, would be able to get the Big, High priced folks to give "generously!!" idk
in their own pockets, no doubt. 🤮
From the ACLU COO's testimony, AH wrote the initial draft and the ACLU coordinated with her attorneys in revising the initial and every subsequent draft to make sure it did not encroach on the NDA between JD/AH included in their divorce settlement. The COO produced e-mails and testified that every time AH was sent a revised draft, she returned it with even more DV claims and an insistence to put JD's name in the article (b/c she wasn't malicious. Sure). It wasn't until after several back and forths that AH even mentioned SA. While I believe the ACLU based their input on the claims that AH made, they should not expect payment for the labor required for producing documentation that proved their client's purposeful defamation. AH is the party that convinced the ACLU to get involved. It was their client's false accusations that put them in this situation not JD. There was little, if any due diligence on their part. I 100% doubt that if the verdict favored AH and she needed the ACLU to provide documentation to prove she was in the right, I highly doubt they would be sending her a bill for producing those documents. They are entitled to postage, a ream of paper and a toner cartridge.
"They are entitled to...", If even that much!!
Insanity for sure!
It's charoites like this that make me extremely hesitant to send my money to something I thought was a good cause, and knowing my money was actually being put to good use. They sound greedy, and with this level of greed, I doubt they even use their other donations for proper funding and probably just use it to buy themselves a new car. Adding to the list of organizations to NOT trust.
I’m sure it was gonna in there pockets! It makes me wonder how and we’re it goes and how is that money Evan doing, going around and doing speeches, can’t they all do that with out asking for donations! It’s like you drive to a place give a speech every comes or not than you go home! This all about feeding there pockets! Do they Evan help any one or an individual, like putting money out to whom needs it for help!!
I don't give to orgs, period! Humans have been donating money since the prehistoric era and I'm done believing in that bullsh*t. It's 2022, world hunger and so much more should've been solved by now. Think about it! That money is in big people's pockets, the savings for the next Ferrari and trip to Bahamas. I'm done with the circus.
I usually only give to local charities. Have you seen the waste in big charities, ho much just the CEO’s get. It’s crazy
I am not familiar with the specifics of American charity law, but in Canada the costs associated with preparing documents, etc for court (I believe that they were called upon to testify, just as the children's hospital was, as to what AH had actually donated) should have been negligible. First, a charity is required to maintain proper books and records, so all they had to do was reference documents that already existed; it was little to no extra work for them (ie, it looks like they're trying to double dip). Second, charities are allowed to spend a reasonable amount of their revenue on "management and administration," which is what their lawyers' fees, staff time, whatever to appear in court would be. Further, given the nature of the ACLU's professed mandate, it seems likely that they have in-house counsel (ie, one or more lawyers on their payroll, working exclusively for them), so, again, this is an attempt to double dip to cover a cost they would have incurred anyway, with or without this trial. Lastly, there is a public interest in maintaining the public trust in charities, and regulators (in the USA, it's the IRS), can intervene when one bad actor is wrecking it for all the genuine do-good organizations. It's a shame that the ACLU is further tarnishing its reputation with these insufferable demands, especially as this breeds more cynicism and decreases generosity and trust in society in general. They are not any random charity; they have long operated as a national watchdog and defender of human rights and civil liberties. Shame on them, stooping this low.
I worked for a non-profit and was appalled at how they spent their money - so much spending was frivolous to ensure their federal funds would not be cut the next cycle.
I shifted spending from organizations to humans in front of me. Friends, family, and where I'm guided to step in and give. People don't always ask for help but just see situations and just give. Always keep $60 of kindness money on me just in case.
He is right on principle. I am sure he donates more already
You’re on point, the ACLU doesn’t deserve a cent after their involvement with publishing Amber Heard’s article in the Washington Post. Demanding JD cover their legal fees is despicable. More worthy charities are amongst those he regularly donates to ~ all the while choosing to remain anonymous.
But not to these jokers
He did donate 100k initially after they divorced to ACLU
Seen it all now …..
yep, makes perfect sense
Its interesting to see how spiteful and vindictive the Amber Heard side of the fence is.
Yup. I've come across some of the better known people who still side with her, and they are overall unpleasant people from their own histories. Birds of a feather really do flock together.
Johnny Depp's lawyer squad: 😂 Here we go again...
Good!
Does anyone remember when the ACLU was a respected organization doing actual good for society?
OT Algebra Well, looks like those days are over!!! 😉
They can’t get the pledge from AH so they sued JD. Was this amount made clear upfront? And when did it ever cost that much to gather documents and testify in court.
That is no more than opportunism!
She’s going to “pledge” the $10 million
Edit: this is a joke I’m can’t believe I’m having to say that 🤣
I dont think so
She can't that would be jail time
@Daisy Caldera What future jobs?
@Daisy Caldera I can’t see even Hallmark channel hiring her…..
She can put not the money she owes him
To go and then sue a real victim of DV is appalling.
It will get thrown out.
Money money money!
Now they're just making themselves look ridiculous. There should be an investigation into just
what they do with their donations. Sounds like a very crooked organization to me...........
Agree tax invasion i presume. Just another cover for greedy people.
👍👍
I have volunteered with and donated a lot to the ACLU. I just canceled my donations this morning. They have taken a turn for the worst and I won't be supporting them any longer. I'm glad this action is getting press.
@@nylotus I hope many others follow suit. What a disgusting organization.
Are you saying you trust Mr. Depp over the ACLU? 🙄 Maybe see his (vile) texts to Mr. Bettany and that uh, mirror "art".
He should be suing them. They must be crazy
Get all of them JD! We behind you.
Go get ‘em, Johnny!
Hopefully this is the kind of thing his legal team can swat off in their sleep. It makes me want to never support the ACLU again. How can they support Amber when she is the one who has pledged and then never fulfilled the donation? I didn't know they had helped write the op-ed. Terrible.
They helped bring the defamation against JD they really should be doing damage control here rather than attacking the actual victim
Bingo!
Go for it Johnny !!!
Unbelievable...what a joke!
I've donated to the ACLU b/c they represent help for our minorities experiencing police brutality and an unfair justice system. But this is making me think the ACLU unworthy of its' halo. I'll have to find out if it's a specific office of the ACLU that helped Amber Heard and if it's possible to donate only to other offices in the country before I ever consider donating again.
Or research other charities that might also support your cause and would appreciate your help.
Just be sure not to make any NAACP donations if your intent is to support organizations that actually offer help to minorities. Those people couldn't even give us a list of businesses or any referrals on minority contractors when our house burned down, told us to go see the Urban League 🤨
I agree. I found the representative's testimony shocking regarding the ACLU's aggressive manner they use towards donations. I'm sure there are other charitable organizations, smaller more honest ones, that would be happy to receive your donations. Native American charities come to mind.
Exactly! Me, too. Ive always supported the ACLU, but now Im flabbergasted not knowing what they actually stand for. Maybe it was a regional office, but either way, the entire organization is blemished and under scrutiniy now.
I quit supporting them years ago.
I pulled my monthly donation to the ACLU. Cause of all of this. I cannot believe a “reputable” organization would behave this way.
Is there a filter on YT because I don't want to receive any Johnny Depp suggestions (OVER EXPOSURE!!!!) I'M FED UP!
SHAMEFUL
ACLU should have slunk quietly away hoping Johnny didn't sue THEM in the first place!
Lets not forget. Johnny made the first payment installations directly to the 2 charities she bragged about. Then she was furious and insisted he 'legally' send the $$$ straight to HER, not the charities that she.designated. So that was the end of JOHNNY sending the agreed upon amount of money directly to the charities of her choice. . The rest is history.
Words fail me... 😱😠
And he should counter sue them.
ACLU is lucky they arent being sued.
Imma countersue for 172K... but it's like pocket money for JD. 1M$ 'cause they helped his abuser.
"...being sued." Yet!!
ACLU has some nerve! Along with Heard, ACLU defamed Depp. At the least, ACLU owe Depp a public apology for not doing their due diligence properly.
He will pledge the money. 🤣🤣🤣
