Calling TMZ an accredited news organization is like saying Dr. Smeagol is a psychiatrist.
If you're referring to Dr Spiegel, that doctor was locked up somewhere in a basement. His patient got out of the asylum and testified portraying him. Nobody can convince me otherwise 🤡
Tmz actually is a credible source when it comes to celebrity deaths
@@solodolo4098 TMZ is simply the tabloid Inquirer in video format.
Lol exactlyyy
'Boom'🔥Roasted!..😄
There’s always someone who’s willing to speak the truth at all cost, good job TMZ’s former employee 👏🏻👏🏻
Yes but it looks like it will come at a cost to this employee
@@aydenjacko5810 It honestly shouldn't. If anything, his thorough and detailed testimony did wonders for restoring TMZ's brand and integrity as a news publicist & he makes it clear that the video they received was edited in an unfavorable light due entirely to the original source, aka Amber Heard.
Don't forget he's cute 😍
It’s liberating to see many many people 99 % who still care about justice and truth in this society, there’s always 1% of people like AH .
I am just so glad that majority of people in this world still go out of their way fighting for justice and truth.
JD is very luck to have a great legal team and amazing people behind him . I can see he is very grateful and thankful.
@@markman1217 Its more that TMZ may go after this ex employee for speaking about this though I have seen the video of his testimony now and I don't think theres anything that would want TMZ to pursue but the fact they didn't want him to speak in the first place is odd
The ex-employee made tmz more credible than their competition in how they verify content and do business. He didn't hurt tmz. He was there to expose Amber's lies. And he nailed it 👌
I was surprised at TMZ's professionalism after his testimony.
@@kuimgenge I missed that, what did TMZ do?
@@christinafashanu Yeah, I missed that too
Agreed!
@@christinafashanu ruin johny,no more no less
I actually really like this judge. She sustains objections so politely and when that Elaine argues with her ruling the judge also shuts her up in a polite way.
Well, not always. During the testimony of the former TMZ employee, she admitted that this Elaine insulted him by saying he was getting his 10 minutes of fame. And she dismissed Camille's objection. I didn't understand that at all.
@@feuerwehrluetzen that's true I forgot about that. Elaine is so obnoxious that I am blown away by her actions
@@feuerwehrluetzen but isn’t that same as when Camille asks Amber things like “you just wanted johnnys money right” or “you did this for fame right” . Genuinely asking
@@ummabdullah7601 Yes, and that might be why it went unsustained.
@@45thnMoncrief There might also be a tiny element of "I see your objection, but I'm not going to let one party object to the other party opening up the door making fools of themselves"
Anyone that saw Amber's testimony will understand how important the TMZ witness was.
Yes!
Exactly!!!
I agree!!! I loved that he added her smirk and snickering at the end of the video.
The whole defence team were in panic mode! HAHA
You're DONE a.Turd!.
And now he's testified, it becomes clear why they were so desperate to stop him!
He avoided all hearsay objections & just explained the difficulties in getting copyright on videos they are sent, unless the video has been sent by the person who made the video & they have verification of that, in which case they can publish within about 15 minutes. "how long did it take you to publish the video of Johnny slamming cabinets (as filmed by AH)?"
answer "about 15 minutes"
Ouch Amber!!!!!!
Dayummm. I should find the video of that, that sounds like yet another nail in the coffin
She did it..evil!!
She edited herself out of the original. He testified it was edited by the sender.(AH) She was setting him up in the kitchen. "Action"!
@@mma93067 it sure is you clearly see her doing the exact same thing he said. They told him he had to catch her coming out of the court and that she will take quick pause and turn so they can get a good look at her face and alleged bruise.
Very good cross by Camille. It was sooo good. Camille is a very smart attorney.
The testimony from the former TMZ actually proves the “Defamation” part of the trial since it is AH’s intention to was ruin JD- and this proves it! I rest my case.
Dang you should be my lawyer
Objection hearsay, leading, lack of foundation 🤣
Overruled
Objection, this testimony will ruin my case
This appears to be a desperate attempt by TMZ party for damage control to further salvage the company from upcoming possible future lawsuits they may face after this A.H. - J.D. trial I guess. 🙄Afterall that transpired from this case, it seems that J.D. has some good valid reasons to possibly file another case.. this time to TMZ.... That's why TMZ's Legal Team is initiating immediatel legal remedies to contain the scenario. 🙄
Just my thoughts... not sure 🙄
I am massively impressed by this judge, impartial, practical, informed, decisive, and runs the court well. excellent judge
Very patient lady.
Amen!
And she knows the whole world is watching her as well.
South Africa.
This is an amazing example when a person is doing what they love, hardworking professional and where they have to be in life.
She stopped AH's lawyers from playing tricks many times.
If the testimony would clear your name, if you truly had nothing to do with it why are you fighting so hard to prevent it….GUILTY!!!!!
Exactly, what made me doubt amber at the beginning was the fact that he was willing to take her to court and that all his exes attested to his good nature
Guilty from day one.
Heard’s team seems to be completely one level lawyers. They act as if this is a closed doors summary hearing, just trying to win on technicality.
Depp’s team realizes that the optics are more important
Look we all hate amber. But let’s assume innocent until proven guilty because this line of thinking is intentionally obtuse. By this logic, johnnys team wouldn’t have tried to throw out the accusation that Johnny cost Amber money from defamation if he was innocent.
@@JimboBillyBob 🤣🤣🤣you’re delusional and detached from reality
Telling the truth should not be feared. TMZ should get the facts right before they destroyed a mans life.
Ding ding ding
Exactly. If you got nothing to hide that would clear your Name right?
It’s TMZ. They are bottom feeders.
but TMZ isn’t in the truth telling business. They are a tabloid, they tell stories that draws audiences, whether those stories are true or even partially true isn’t a primary concern for them.
1. They're a tabloid.
2. They got the video from a first party source to obtain copyright.
3. TMZ is such a litigious 'reporting' entity that they wouldn't risk the chance of being sued over the quick 15 minute submission of the private nature of this cabinet video. (2 party consent laws pending)
With these points to consider it's hard to not believe that it would either be JD who'd have submitted this video to TMZ or Amber.
I have a 99.999999% belief it to be the latter.
TMZ's lawyer deserves some credit here. He was thrown into this chaotic case at the last minute, argues his client's interests cogently and intelligently, loses his argument gracefully, and still asks to reserve some rights to protect his client. Compared to the craziness coming out of Heard's team, he seems like a star.
Both Heard's team and the TMZ lawyer have something in common, and that is that their clients are horrible.
Its his job, and he made the knowing mistake to mention criminal cases which dont apply.
By then the judge had already made up her mind, which her body language shows.
$2500 an hour lawyer that real people can’t afford.
@@janviljoen7001 not his fault, you need to understand that lawyers try to seek out legal loopholes to exploit all the time. His argument was decent, I wouldn't call it malicious or deceptive in any way, he shot his shot but it didn't pan out 🤷♂️ and he left gracefully. No ill will towards him
He called Mr.Chew snarky ryt
If a doctor can disclose private information during a trial why does TMZ think they are more important 😂
They are doing everything to stop a witness because whoever the source is, it will hurt their case. And there are laws and privileges that should be taken care of. I love Judge A for hearing both sides giving time.
This issue is far bigger than this case.
We’re is Johnny depps ugly female lawyer
Tmz = as evil as amber
Guilty since the day she was born
@@katherineking4702
The guy testifying is not employed to TMZ
He has no obligation to refuse to testify
And the the side that does not want to hear the testimony, is the side that leaked.
It’s funny because ambers lawyers tried to say it was depp🤦♂️
Amber looks more concerned now that an ex-tmz employee is about to testify than when Mr. Depp was giving an account of the Australia incident where she was smirking...Absurd!
Yeah all that smirk from earlier is gone. Trying to imitate johnny it seems
Yesss she was on edge 😆
He is not her victim
The lady judge has my big respect. She is so kind, fair and honest. I trust her 100 % that she is guiding the investigation in the right way to find out the truth.
She really does have the patient of a saint. Great representative of her profession.
The 'lady judge'?!
@@petermills542 cry more
Seriously I would have lost my patience long ago with Amber’s team. She deserves a raise.
@@Venomine95 I'm thirsty for your tears
Screw Elaine for claiming this ex-employee is seeking 15 minutes for fame. As the Judge stated to TMZ's lawyer, he is liable to be sued by TMZ in a different, separate litigation. Meaning, this man is putting everything on the line just to tell the truth.
Nobody with a brain would hire EB in my personal opinion
This judge is magnificent..
Assertive clear kind smart and sharp ..
She really represents justice
100% unbiased ..
Unbelievable level..
She is professional..
I really wish to have a cup of tea with her..
I feel like this will be a spiritual experience..
She is totally ABOVE emotions, fame seek, or anything .
Humble , kind , serious..
Totally agree
Judge is a man face jealousy of amber
Yes, agree completely she is straight to the point trying not to waste anyone's time you can tell this is not only a job for her but life and only if we had more judges like her the world would be a better place.
I would really like to know what she thinks about this case.
Ha ha ha!! I can almost see you feel that moment
“This is not the first unusual thing is this case” 😂 I love this Judge she’s amazing
This is more educational than any law class, and the judge certainly does an impeccable job at keeping this court intact.
The Judge is truly epic. She has not lost her cool even for a moment and is very much in charge yet polite and human. I think she is giving a masterclass in how to be a judge.
@@Digeroo123 idk I really enjoyed that judge going off on Mr Binger in the Rittenhouse case. However Amber's attorney is trash but Binger was substantially worse, watching him get yelled at in front of millions of people for his shady tactics made me laugh
100%
after the testimony of the trailer park owner, the former tmz employee, Kate Moss and the fact that Amber kept the 7 million dollars this case is closed for me.
Lets hope it is for the jury as well
and all the police officers
Amber said she had nothing to do with the story being leaked so wouldn't she want this person to get up and corroborate her story.... Unless she lied to the court and this person's testimony will prove that. She better get done for perjury.
and it's obvious she lied coz she was the one who had the video, and i remember she tried to blame her lawyers but it's about to go down for her
I really hope she gets tried for perjury!
All of her testimony should now be considered a lie. The former TMZ EMPLOYEE is risking getting sued by TMZ but he wanted to testify because of Amber’s lies.
They touch that employee and we'll touch them.
The perjury-line is quite long by now.... I almost (ALMOST) feel sorry for misheard.
Most memorable line in this whole case is when they played the video where Amber accidentally confesses she leaked the video to TMZ - Camille: "You messed up there didn't you?"
Slipped up
Agreed
Amber messed up there 100%.
Yep- my fave of the whole trial too!
Which video is that?
It makes sense now why Johnny didn't list TMZ as a co-defendant for the defamation suit because TMZ could easily invoke Journalist's privilege. However, since TMZ is not a party, and a former employee is willingly volunteering to provide the information, Journalist privilege isn't applicable in a civil matter. In regards to the NDA between Morgan and TMZ, that's an employment issue that TMZ will have pursue separately. However, if TMZ decides to pursue the NDA case, then Johnny's team can definitely get involved as the issue relates to their defamation case assuming he's proven that he was defamed. This strategy is genius.
How he testified is also an interesting "tactic" I would say, very genius too. But I don't think Depp's team would necessarily go after TMZ for the defamation case as a follow-up. The media and public opinion these few weeks clearly favor Depp, hence he's probably gonna get film contracts back in hand.
TMZ didn't do anything illegal. So why would he sue them?
@@gagecarlsen3872 It's really hard to sue a publication for defamation or for anything really. The 1st Amendment is much stronger than the 2nd Amendment. That being said, if TMZ willing and knowingly published false and damaging information, then they might be liable as well. But in this case, I don't think they knew that AH edited the kitchen video clip.
I'm confused. This is an "EX" employee. Why does TMZ care what he does and whether he testifies or not? This former employee is an adult, and no longer employed by TMZ so they should have no authority to tell him what he can and can't do
It's to protect the source forever, otherwise many wouldn't willingly give confidential information to the media.
Maybe under contract
Supposedly NDAs signed with your former employers are perpetual and last for your entire lifetime. No one has really challenged it in court so who knows, this might be a first! But does TMZ want to take that risk? Morgan didn't reveal who the source is other than the News Producer. Even then, the News Producer didn't have a name.
There's probably a NDA included in his employment contract that lasts well beyond his time of employment. It's mainly meant to protect company secrets and anything else that's confidential. It's a common occurrence in news outlets
Maybe he had a non disclosure agreement when he resigned from tmz.many big company have that kind of docs to sign before you exit the company
I love this judge because she is fair and unbiased. TMZ must get paid a lot of money from Amber for blocking evidence. Justice for Jonny Depp.
I doubt TMZ is really paid, because these gossip news need sources and if they allow their employee to sell out their source, it would legitimately affect their future businesses.
I honestly don't think TMZ is there for Amber. Their concern seemed valid at the time. They thought an ex-employee would leak a confidential source. If that would have happened TMZ would have more difficulty getting confidential sources to say stuff in the future.
In the end he didn't leak the name. Just insinuated TMZ owned the copyright or a license to the video which typically only could be granted by the one who made the video (who was Amber). But he never named Amber.
@ USA Patriot
TMZ owns copyright for the video witness will talk about, and wouldn't want it referred to without payment.
it probably has nothing to do with Amber though. Copyrights not to mention if an ex employee is able to reveal sources who else will come to them.
TMZ could it face a subpena to check their payments records and emails but because is not
TMZ vs Johnny it wont happend.
She didn’t release the video, she clearly PLEDGE it. It’s similar to buying house 😌🤣
Baaahaaa! Good one 😆
Yes can u just blv the wench..the audacity of her
It was used synonymous remember?🤣
She didn't pledge the entirety of the vid. Lol
@@minniebriones401 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I applaud you Mr. Ex TMZ employee for doing what TMZ can't do, tell the truth.
That lady judge is really distinguished : firm, polite, objective.
She clearly didn't LEAK the video. She PLEDGED it, why is it so hard for everyone to understand this. They are the same, i use it synonymous 🤷😌
🤣🤣🤣 good one!
Of course🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Hilariously perfect analogy!
She donated it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Tell the world, Johnny, tell them, 'Johnny Depp, I, a man, I'm a victim too of domestic violence'. And see how many people believe or side with you"

He told the world and we believe him and we are on his side.
We believe Johnny.
oh how the turn tables
TEAM JOHNNY DEPP🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Her lawyer couldn’t even make a reasonable argument here. Just awful.
Poor judge, she is visibly tired of this case, although she remains very fair and professional you can sense that she just wants this to end 🥺
After all this Johnny Depp deserves to win all the damages he asked for and she deserves to have Hollywood close its doors to her. I won’t watch any movie with her in it from now on.
I don't think I've ever seen a movie with her in and I'll be sure to never in the future!! Nasty girl she is xx
She only has $8 million ($7m of which came from JD in the divorce settlement), so will be interesting to see what the jury comes up with in terms of damages, ditto the judge.
Her total net worth is 2.9 million even if he wins she doesn't have the money to pay him no movie deals in the works no beauty brand deals nothing he is spending the money and his time to prove she is a bald face liar he wants his reputation back he wants his life back he is certainly guilty of a wandering eye he was smitten and divorced the mother of his children biggest mistake of his life who gave him 15 years and was faithful and loyal neither of which Amber is or was he likes his booze and drugs like alot of folks but he is no wife beater he is clearing his name she will have to declare bankruptcy if he wins his judgement and enforces the judgement.
Her acting leaves a lot to be desired. I don’t like her acting and she couldn’t even fake it on the stand. Terrible
Também penso como você. Hollywood deve ignorar essa figura patética.
TMZ NEEDS TO BE SUED AS WELL AND IMMEDIATELY!!! They need to be held accountable.
Oh I hope they get their day 😊
if they know that's gonna happen to them, they might lie too, but what's amazing is that nobody else had the video except for amber and her team so they basically can't throw the blame to another person.
what for? tmz is just a media for amber heard to spread her claims. any gossip channel would do the same
unfortunately I think they're too big to actually lose or even care
They snitching like a stinky rat
Morgan Tremaine will be sued in a separate case by TMZ. Johnny will then seek ways to help this person out of the fact that they risked themselves by coming forward to tell the truth of it all. That's who Johnny is.
Perhaps not, he didn't name the source just the process. Of course it was obvious to everyone. Good for him he stood up for what's right and put himself on the line.
That press conference where she slipped up about TMZ was a game changer. The sheer difference in her demeanour in that press conference and courtroom testimony is absolutely inconsistent.
If this witness testifies it might be the first time Amber sheds genuine tears in court.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 hopefully we can see those precious elusive droplets 💦
Definitely 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻 why would the be fighting so hard to not have him testify?? You’re going down B****
she's a narcissist, i don't think she will do that infront of ppl
This is the best comment yet 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don't think so. She completely denies everything that exposes her lie within matter if seconds, what makes you think she won't go " Ahh, he/she was lying, i disagree " , this time as well. Remember she converted donated to pledge within fraction of seconds even though there was clear proof. She won't get affected i can bet 🤣
I envy the judges' grandchildren. They must be very happy around her.
I hope the grand children also keeps her up to date with tech and social media!
Elaine: “Not relevant”. Her credibility IS ABSOLUTELY relevant! Her stating how shocked she was that the press showed up (testimony under oath), was a lie. This we now know.
I'd love to see her get charged with perjury when this is over.
If I rmb correctly she said she said something along the lines of expecting them to be there that’s why she brought her publicist w her that day. But she said she said she was shocked at how quickly they arrived. So half truth half lie she’s always distorting the truth in some way 🤯
JDs team should have submitted an aerial if the LA County courthouse -- it literally takes up an ENTIRE city block and has at least 11 exits that I can remember (there may be more than 11, but I'm sure of at least 11). I guess it's just coincidence the TMZ paparazzi knew when and which exit she'd be leaving to snap her photo.
@@jooiej1337 In her depsotition a few years ago, she let it slip that quote"TMZ was alerted " unquote. And that was by accident cuz she insticntly rubs her face when she realized she said a big OOPS.
Amber went from wearing almost no makeup while she was testifying, to almost blinding you from across the room with her highlighter.
💀💀💀 noticed that too
I had to wear my sunglasses because the highlights was so blinding 🕶️😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
@@cynthiaarrington8368 hahahahaha
😂😂😂
Yeah. In the beginning it was not makeup and do weird gestures. It's like some lawyers are saying " everything is about comunication in court.
Honestly I never like TMZ, so I’m glad the judge don’t buy their BS. I really want to know who leaks it.
They r pretty much paid stalkers I don't care for them either
ikr, all they care about is money, doesn't matter the information they're leaking is true or not
Amber suggested that it was her lawyers soo....
I’m with you I don’t like TMZ either why are they trying so hard to stop this man from talking if amber didn’t leak the tape.
The tmz guy is now probably going to be on the side that gives him more money. Ambers team can buy his testimony
I’m getting ready for law school and this case is a godsend .. easily digestible and overall entertaining :)

@ Dad Dishes Network: you're 💯% correct regarding the entertainment factor. I'm a chemical engineer by qualification and because of listening to the proceedings of this case, I somewhat wish that I had majored in Law instead 😯
The TMZ guy was a class act....he never divulged sources....simply spoke of the process.....which clearly showed the video could only have come from AH due to how quickly it was uploaded to the TMZ website from time of receipt....copyright can be received within 15 minutes if yr dealing with the person who owns the video.... video was loaded onto the TMZ website 15 minutes after receipt !
He did it in a way where he didn’t breach nda. The eye brows did the pointing.
@@npcimknot958 That's because Camille guided his testimony in a way that would protected him from a possible lawsuit if he even dare to break TMZ's NDA and without enter on hearsay territory bc she (and I guess the rest of Depp's legal team) knew that it was the only way they could get his testimony in front of the jury, so, instead of revealing the source he describe the proccess, steps, etc they take at TMZ in his area if expertise, thus revealing who was the source without explicitly mentioning that it was Amber all along; that *it HAD to be Amber and no one else.* And the Jury understood what Morgan Tremaine (TMZ ex-employee) was trying to tell them with his testimony, they got the message.
*Sorry for my bad english.*
This Judge is very impartial, fair and has great common sense. We should all have such a fair, kind, and impartial judge.
Why do you look scared Amber??? Afraid of what’s going to be said?? Shame, Shame
She had a very stoic look today. She probably recognizes that her lying about her releasing information to TMZ is being exposed. She’s such a liar.
Yep,she looked more uncomfortable than normal

No matter what side you are on in this trial, got to say it's very educational and entertaining. I learned a lot of things in 6 weeks.
Fun fact: even though the witness is JD's, they knew nothing about the subpoena, as their lawyer claims. Guess what, the subpoena came from AH's team the night before as a trick, so they could claim reporters priviledge on the spot, trying to torpedo the witness.
I did wonder why, when there was argument about the subpoena, they didn't just say "well let's take a look at it then" to check its validity and source?
Ohhh makes sense too why the TMZ lawyer is sitting with AH's side... thank you
Judge Penny is honestly an amazing Judge. My most highest respect for her. I wish I had her patience, she is so warm and educated and overall a lovely person! 😊

TMZ only likes to put dirt out about people and now they want to stop this man from talking let him talk and put some dirt out on TMZ or amber.
This confirms what he testified was true... cause there's no way they would try to block him like that knowing he didn't have vital information in regards to the case.
I knew all along she alerted TMZ and arranged for Paparazzi to be there. I’m not the only one who knew that. I mean come on!!! How else would they know! I’m glad this young man made it crystal clear she did it.
Sources should only be allowed to be protected if they are telling the truth. Liars should be revealed so that they can face the music.
The video clearly was 'true'. She was presumably trying to smear his reputation, not tell an untruth, at that point.

Thank you
there's no any other person who could've leaked it except amber and her lawyers b'coz they had the video. they were the ones responsible for publishing the video and other pics
I’m so glad they weren’t able to block his testimony.
That judge is one sharp lady.
Notice how Amber purposely continues to try and stare into the camera. She's always trying to make eye contact with either the jury or those watching to garner sympathy. No one who's truly innocent pulls stunts like that. She's VERY aware of every camera on her while Johnny couldn't care less.
Good observation
Very true.
Yes… she is another MEGAN MARKLE…. Always looking for the camera…. Always evil.
She's trying to suck up to the camera knowing that, it's coming to an end very quickly. Trying to get sympathy from any means possible. She just needs to accept the facts that she's lost every which way possible. But when are the perjury charges going to come foreword? There is plenty to choose from.
Oh look a camera! 🤩
What happened Amber... Not smiling anymore? Can see this took your smile off your face.
Someone needs to give this judge a good raise and plenty of vacation time after this trial cos she’s earned it. She looks burned out 🥴😓
I don’t blame the judge one bit…this trial went on for 5 weeks longer than it should have to be quite honest.
This was another piece of damning evidence against AH. The witness was very credible.
Lawyer: Who leaked the Video?
TMZ Employer: It was Amber Heard.
Amber Heard: It wasn't me. It was the bee.
Bee: It wasn't my fault. The dog stepped on me and i hit the button accidentally.
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏼
😂🤣😂🤣
The dog: 👁 👄 👁

Button: He said it! He hit me!
I understand TMZ are trying to protect their source, as any media organization should, and their "integrity" but it looks like they are also afraid their ex employee might expose some dirt on them. Or maybe I'm over thinking this.
That could be it
TMZ lacks integrity
Over thinking. They're concerned that other 'secret' celeb sources would be less likely to come forward if former TMZ staff are happy to reveal sources. They should have written that into their contracts.
TMZ FIRED THE WITNESS .... OR did he quit from TMZ!??
it also opens a precedent for future sues against TMZ
I love the fact that JD is so calm and confident that he holds the truth, that he relays on the competence of his legal team, not nervious or with wondering eyes because he has to control no one. Something bigger is getting cook in this court room. He is setting a legal precedence in regard of male DV.
Exactly 💯
Yessir! The truth will always out!

AIUI the ex-TMZ employee did not identify the source but simply explained the process by which TMZ obtains permission to publish. Something that is generally public if not common knowledge. Given the speed with which it was published it is clear that the only possible source could have been Amber Heard herself.
Best part this trial is The JUDGE. She is unbelievable and awesome personality. My eyes👀 lit when ever see come to the frame ❤
"Man, we were almost at lunch!" 😂
Absolutely agree. She is doing a very good job. ☮️💚🌈
Same I like her! People in comments act like she’s biased to Amber but they just don’t understand what a judges position and expectations are
In this video I keep noticing the giant coffee pot in front of her. No doubt she's needed it.
@@SallyBeard I wouldn't even mind if there is vodka in that
It's common knowledge that the general public have found her guilty in general concensus no matter what happens in court
Ohh sit down.
@@nicola1573 lmao found ambers burner
Yeah very true but if she will she will get more of JD's money. Which she isn't deserving of! Plus she won't have to work again if she wins! she also know the public isn't going to want nothing to do with her !
@@nicola1573 ?
Just cause got a vag Amit bleeds doesn't make them immunity from compulsive deciet full lien
This is a big statement coming from the judge “ nothing is usual in this case “ even with her experience !
Just Brilliant!😆
They’re trying to not have them testify because that will show she lied under oath which means jail time. Amber is DONE! After this witness she’s done and her team knows it. They look embarrassing😂 serves amber right
This man trying to attack JD’s lawyer like he’s more intelligent then him isn’t a smart move…..
Johnny Depps female lawyers ugly face
I'm team Johnny all the way but this TMZ lawyer seems no joke. By the looks of it he is highly accredited and even Johnny's lawyer felt the need to formally apologize in the probable thought of offending him.
@@AnnamPrasanth That right there says a lot. The need to formally apologize at a PERCEIVED slight. It's like WTF is this guy?
@@turkey1337 exactly what I thought. It's the stuff made for Hollywood man! 😅
I don't think he was trying to attack him or vise versa, it's just their job. Also if you heard in the beginning TMZ lawyer greeted Ben (Johnny's Law) by saying "Hi,it's good to see you". Which explains why Ben said he's known him for years when he apologized I'm sure they don't take anything personal since they're there solely to represent others. He prob just said that so the judge knows he didn't meant it as a personal attack.
hope this puts the final nail in the coffin for this trial😂👍
Me too kup kup on her Heard 😂
Love this judge. Decisive, in control of her court yet has a sense of humor which is needed at times.
This judge is a well poised and well mannered supercomputer of applied law. So balanced that no distractions are there, only law. Pure and simple...
You're talking fantasy - She's been blatantly pro-Amber, the last two days.
@@martindebrois1472 wrong, 12 year old cringe kid
@@nearlydead7510 Wow, substantive rebuttal.
@@martindebrois1472 Well, nearlydead7510 was proven correct.
@@stischer47 Lol No he wasn't. She was TOTALLY pulling for Amber ... There's *tons* of evidence, of it, in the trial. The proof was just so huge, for Johnny, at about the 2/3rds-of-the-way mark she put all that stuff away.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN SOMEONE HOLD A GIGANTIC SIGN IN FRONT OF AH’s LAWYER THAT SAYS “DONT FORGET TO TURN YOUR MIC ON”
😁😁
😅😅😅
They have to keep it off because God forbid Amber blurt something out that blow their case up to the yinyang.🤣
🤣🤣🤣
they are trying so hard to hide the truth, I hope they know the more they do that more guilty amber looks
She is guilty!!!!!
The truth shall prevail and cannot be hidden.
The jury is dismissed while they go over proceedings, so they will not know they tried to prevent this testimony.
That's why Amber is looking so worried towards the Judge. She is capping herself. 😂😂😂. She should have covered her track's better and lied better.
TMZ: "It shall not pass"
Judge: "You have no power here"
Judge is so fed up with Amber’s side, omg. You can clearly tell. Of course, her lawyers are trying too hard and it’s so cringy.
Especially Elaine. She acted a bit more shrill and buggy than usual. She's so embarrassing.
@@Claudia-lq3ns For sure! They were attempting to act like Camille, but, it only made them look like more of an a$$hole. Elaine makes me angry.
The judge is such a sweetheart!
AH lawyers played the Walden card so he can't be Depp's lawyer but that seriously went back to hit them right in the face, because Chew's team has being amazing.
Was the TMZ lawer supposed to be Johnny's lwaer ?
@@leaa7739 No, Walden use to be Johnny's lawyer. But because she said he caused her career to suffer, he cannot use him..
@@monique_jones oh.. didn't know that
Thanks :)
@@monique_jones I was wondering why Walden wasn't his lawyer in this case. Thank you 😊
The TMZ attorney from Ballard Spahr (a well-regarded law firm, btw) presented his arguments in a very clear and professional manner. Honestly, he seems more competent than Amber’s lawyers. That said, I’m glad he lost the motion to intervene because that ex-employee’s testimony was really compelling.
Except he cited criminal cases that would have got him an F in law class. Though he could intimidate a Judge would be cowered by his $2500 hourly rate. The Judge politely stated you have no case, not relevant, get out of my court room.
I love this judge! She has the exact type of temperament to be in her position.
Oh my...she isn't smiling, smirking or being smug in this one huh? I wonder why...
Yep, you noticed also??? She always gets very smug when she thinks she’s got some thing over on Johnny. Just from listening to her videos and watching her face throughout this trial… Evil.
omg that ending with the judge.they are really fighting for the tmz not to leak or tell who sold the footage..wow
This Judge, Ben Chew and Camille Vasquez, makes me want to reconsider going backnto law school. I was so turned off by the people in the legal system. I'm seeimg first hand true knowledgable professionals. Thia Judge is flat out amazing
This judge needs to be on the Supreme Court
but what about the 1st amendment rights of that ex employee?
the right is for everyone, not just for tmz..whenever it benefis them
Depends on NDAs. Contracts can suck.
@@scottbecker4367 From the sound of it, the ex-employee isn't held back by an NDA otherwise, I feel that TMZ would've mentioned it like Depp's lawyer said. It could have already expired- or in other words, the validity of the NDA no longer stands. Would really love to definitively know if Heard is her own leaker.
Johnny Depp has won even if he loses the defamation case! The world knows that he has behaved as a gentleman while Amber has zero class. Granted they both behaved poorly, but Mr. Depp has taken responsibility while Amber continues to deny and takes no accountability!
This poor judge has the patience of a saint.
This judge is so professional and stable its refreshing. If I ever had my fate in someone's hands I'd be happy if they were hers.
Amber will say her team acted on their own accord and not as an extension of her.
Like Johnny did with his lawyers tweets.
So interesting to see another PROFESSIONAL lawyer enter the arena & see the tone in the courtroom, with the judge & Depp's team both professional, but also relaxed & joking around with them & the issue, clearly a lot of professional respect there & an ability for all to just act in their normal professional way, instead of needing to respond to the ongoing circus that the other side in this trial keep creating
THIS!
Everyone believes AH lawyers team are incompetent, they aren't, is just all the evidence suggests that AH is trash and a lying piece of dirt. The lawyers are just trying to work with what they have, which is very little.
Dang I feel bad for the TMZ lawyer that showed up he knew AHs team aren’t professional and wanted to be the one to object instead XD but got denied
I watched the former TMZ employee's testimony. As a former journalist myself, it didn't seem that he violated any journalistic ethics.
Whether he violated any non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with TMZ is unknown, but would not be within the purview of this court in this case.
Johnny has a class... For that alone he won the case and also for being innocent. So far everything shows the obvious.
Liar, liar, Depp on fire. He's roasting alive as we speak.
@@babs420th9 ???
@@babs420th9 if you say it enough times you might start to believe it
@@babs420th9 - the ONLY LIAR IN THIS COURT ROOM IS AMBER AND HER ATTORNEYS - it’s disgusting how easy it is for her and her minions LIE 👿
Philly Lisa here as ALWAYS!TEAM JOHNNY DEPP!!AMBER UNHEARD IS SO SMUG!!NOT a mean person just can't STAND Narcissist eather man or woman(HELLO AMBER)
Elaine: Your honor, you cannot allow this witness.
Rottenborn: Objection, hearsay.
Judge: She is on your side.
This judge is friendly and does everything in a transparent manner.
I pray the ex employee of tmz is offered a brilliant job and has good fortune going forward. He spoke the truth at his own cost.
If she didn't leak it then get the witness to prove it!!
Amber's been writing things down furiously all day today!
Let's all hope she's not writing another Op-Ed!
I don't think I can take all of this again!
Would anyone, apart from tmz actually publish it?
It's for her booook (in her own nasty tone). You know, her boook... her boook... her booook!
.
That presumes Amber can write
Best comment!
"good morning your after" 😂😂😂😂
luv u Ben
I don't understand why Amber Heard was allowed to refuse to provide her phone, texts etc for this case when Johnny Depp produced his. Anyone?
not a criminal issue its a defamation suit
If it was a criminal case, she wouldn't even have the choice. It would be taken at the moment it was asked. But it's not, so she chose not to that the time it was requested.
