Amber over dramatized everything, EXCEPT the stuff that SHOULD have been really traumatizing, like being raped with a glass bottle, in which case she basically blew it off. Saying she didn’t even seek medical care. WTF?!?
That part in and of itself was ripped right out of Gone Girl
@@OnlyGettyand Fatty Arbuckle.
I’m the type to question my own beliefs of something after time passes, right? Was I biased towards the funny, artistic actor man? Do I just not like how she talks, so I was biased against a traumatised victim? Is it possible for both of them to be toxic in this relationship and for both to be lying their asses off in the court? I don’t wanna be the person who is stuck on their own beliefs and not admit when they’re wrong.
So I always try to look from AH side, and wonder if she is truly the victim with a bad lawyer. But no matter what, from the beginning, I will always be stuck on the recordings. Now that you bring this up, it just reminds me about how there’s just a lot of things that didn’t add up in her statements and it’s not a matter of biases.
Can't rape the willing lol she camps out and sneaks up on unsuspecting rapists then they call the police on HER lmao
@@Bree420there are texts that never made it to evidence because it’s not related to defamation. It’s between his assistant and Amber, where he apologizes on behalf of Johnny for kicking her on the plane. I don’t believe Amber and think Johnny’s team did a hell of a job, hence why they insisted it’s televised, but I wonder if any of what she said was ever true.
The Kate Moss thing was a bit bigger than that. She was not allowed to testify because she was considered a character witness, and it wasn't allowed. Amber bringing it up made Moss testifying allowed as a rebuttal witness. Elaine won the fight to exclude her, and Amber pulled the rug out from under her.
Which further explains Elaine’s difficulty with her on direct and re direct. Elaine couldn’t trust Amber to stay on topic and not go into things that would’ve been objected to. So she tried to form extremely narrow and leading questions that would keep Amber in line. But Camille is a better trial lawyer than Elaine is, and it showed in that re direct.
@@skylerfelix7609 I'm not sure it explains anything at all. I think there were two separate issues here. Amber was a bad witness because her testimony was false. She was treading a fine line here...she needed to make her story make sense to the jury, without straying too much from the UK testimony. But her own lies, possible mental illness, and the need to keep changing her version to match the evidence made her narrative easy to show made no sense. They say never lie on the stand. This is why.
Elaine's seeming incompetence is a separate issue. I don't know WHY she was so bad here. Her terrible performance can't be blamed on a bad client though. She didn't know courtroom procedure. She didn't know how cross examination worked. Both her and Rottonborn put on cases that didn't match their open/close. Both her and Rottonborn were more or less unlikable to any jury (that shouldn't matter, but it does). She in particular wasted a lot of time asking opposing witness question after question that went nowhere. She seemed like she didn't know what she was doing, but also appeared unprepared...especially on cross, like she was winging it.
Yes. Horrible client to deal with. I think many who have observed Amber bullying her representation is 100% accurate. She was going to dictate strategy and her legal team couldn't argue to win because of the messes she created. My favorite moment though of Moss's testimony was a visibly uncomfortable and I'd say, jealous bout of body language from Amber. You could tell Kate Moss got under her skin not only because she's more than Amber will ever be (which I believe was the real reason for the jealousy), she was also praising Depp as a honorable guy.
@@zoso1980 I agree that she was almost certainly a nightmare...but it doesn't explain why Elaine didn't know court procedure, or how to cross examine a witness. The only thing I can come up with is, when you want a professional to risk their career and reputation by acting without integrity...then you have a limited pool of choices.
On Moss...another thing is, if Johnny's psychologist was right (and I believe she was) then Amber's mental illness would cause her to see Johnny as her possession. Seeing Kate Moss as still in Johnny's life would have made her jealous. Same with Camille. I think Johnny and Camille acting so close during the trial was a show to infuriate Amber...and it 100% worked.
@@Ocrilatyes, agree totally 💯
Johnny’s words that he had never harmed anyone but himself really stayed with me. Truth
Yes!!!!! 🥰
I love JD, always have & probably always will... but make no mistake he's a very quirky guy. Probably used to getting his own way. But he also dresses up as Capt Jack Sparrow & visits really sick kids.. You always see him posing with a fan. He knows his worth is based on public opinion & he works it. However, there's a pic of AH & JD at some awards show & she looks good..but he has this look like many battered women have, in his eyes. I saw this way before the trial. Even 'their' public apology for sneaking the dog into Australia... same look.
I'm a fan of JD and don't believe he abused AH, but like all parents with addiction issues he has harmed his children. Can't be avoided, however much he loved them. If he doesn't recognise the harm he has done it's just a matter of time. My beloved father couldn't have loved me more but the harm his alcoholism did me was unavoidable.
@@sophiejameson4064
I'd tend to agree. Perhaps I'm projecting, but I get a sense he's running from his own demons, and so pre-occupied surviving that he doesn't realize the effect it's having on his family life.
I drink alcohol to avoid the nightmares I have [usually 3-5+ nightly], and I see the same tired look on Johnny that I tend to get when I go sober to make sure I don't become addicted. Weed works too, but I quit that entirely because society frowns on that more than alcohol.
I hate how no one talks enough about the fact that in the audio when Johnny says "Don't tell me what it feels like to be punched!" She NEVER corrects him saying that you've punched me uncountable times but instead taunt him. That was such a big indicator.
Thanks for mentioning this, I think it’s so revealing! One could argue “oh well she’s afraid of him so she wouldn’t bring it up,” but she clearly doesn’t sound afraid, and belittles him! Nothing in any of those audios leads me to believe she’d be afraid to call him out. Just the opposite.
exactly, EVERY and i mean EVERY time she truly voices her grievances with Johnny privately (but on tape), she says that she's mad that he doesn't want to fight/argue with her and that he always walks away while she sometimes loses control ".. oh yeah, you're the bigger man" . she never brings up ANYTHING physical that he's done unless she's overplaying him defending himself during one of HER episodes. its delusion and gaslighting wrapped up in one nice package
This old man had an abusive young trophy wife who would nag, belittle, gaslight, and physically abuse him. to cope he would run from house to house, from vacation villa to movie set, just to be away from her, all while fueled on drugs and alcohol. this would anger her more restarting the cycle with new talking points for her to want to fight about.
this is basically the story amber herself gives in every tape so when she comes into the public saying he abused her it seems wildly fishy.
I noticed that too. There was so many little moments like that!
thank you! The fact that he says that, and she NEVER bothers correcting him (but has no problem demeaning and bereating him) is incredibly telling. It was this and the "tell the world" audio clips that made me despise Amber Heard from the getgo.
EXACTLY 💯 PERFECTLY SAID 👌 👏
For any man who's had to suffer a narcissistic woman deliberately destroying his life with blatant lies over many years whilst crying victim. She's vile, absolutely vile 🤮
Or woman! My ex and Amber should date. They have so much in common 😂 I’m glad Johnny won. He was clearly the victim here.
There’s a 2 % chance of a woman falsely accusing a man of dv/abuse. She’s part of the 2%. What a horrible person and terrible liar she is.
And we all need to get ahold of our politicritters and demand harsh punishment for those who falsely accuse!! Most don't see any ramifications & that's WRONG!!
or indeed any person who's had a narcissistic partner ruining their life.
My mother is narcissistic, still working on all the damage she did 😔
The reason why Amber Heard lost was because every person, including the jury, sat there and heard a woman tell a ridiculous story. Ridiculous. How? Because everyone who has ever suffered a punch or even an accident to the face, remembers very clearly how they looked. And they know, no amount of " concealer " could cover up those injuries. When I fell on the sidewalk, I hit my face. Not only did I have a swollen black eye, my eye was also bloodshot, and I had a cut between the eye and my eyebrow. Meanwhile, Ms.Heard told the jury that Mr. Depp punched her in her face " so many times, I can't remember " and he did so wearing multiple rings which, in this case, amounts to wearing brass knuckles, and she not only didn't get a tooth knocked out, but could cover up black and blues, swelling, a broken nose, and assorted cuts, i.e. a fat lip, all of that, with concealer and some cream. This compounded by the fact that, I assume Ms. Heard's " acting ability " is directly related to her beauty. Her face is her fortune. And she expected the jury to believe that she took beatings, putting her future " acting " parts in jeopardy? And then she wanted the jury to believe she was deathly afraid of him. Well, we heard how she talked to him. Those words didn't come out of a woman who was afraid. And while I'm at it: if she was so deathly afraid of him, why would she bring James Franco and Musk to the penthouse owned by Depp which is loaded with cameras, security, and employees who could rat her out? Don't they have apartments she could go to? Even my dog knows not to shit where you eat. This is why she lost the case. Plain and simple, she's a liar.
I've bopped myself in the face with a kitchen cabinet and gotten worse black eyes than hers. It honestly looked like she just had a sleepless night, maybe had a couple drinks and took her makeup off and decided that was a 'black eye' at least for the ones that hit the tabloid during the TRO. She 'got slapped' constantly by a man with chunky rings and yet not a single cut on her face?
She talked about John Wick level fights spanning multiple rooms, levels of the penthouses, getting knocked down and dragged over glass. But she could walk through the airport the next day to go home and not a single person saw her cut up feet and arms and bruised up face? She allegedly stopped at the airport giftshop to get a damn self help book and no one saw anything? The ONE security guard that was apparently at these events that knew what was going on and saw it first hand is the one that happens to be dead. I dont know who she thought she'd be fooling
I agree with both of you. There's now way ice and makeup covers swelling and multiple injuries. I can't even take the swelling down from a big pimple! Even that has texture and is harder to cover. Imagine bruising and cuts. Yeah right!!!
Especally with the rings that he had on. One punch and there would be some ripping in that skin.
Absolutely! And for me, a medical professional, she described injuries that would land you in the ICU or the morgue!
All.👏🏾 The.👏🏾 Facts.👏🏾
I like one of the things Depp's lawyer said in closing after bringing up that no other women had ever claimed Johnny Depp raised a hand against them, and also no other women had come out SINCE Heard's claims:
_"This was MeToo WITHOUT any Me Too's."_
Right on the money.
🎯🎯🎯
Isn’t that why Ellen Barkin was on the stand?
@@princessfondu7322did you listen to Barkins testimony? She never once said Depp was physical or abusive with her. She said they argued, and that he was prone to jealousy. Never once did she claim abuse.
It annoys me that Elaine and Amber think they lost because that people love Johnny. That’s not it. They did a terrible job proving their points. Amber clearly lied, there was visual proof that she was lying about the injuries she claimed to have received.
@karlat7880😂EXACTLY WELL SAID 👌 👍 👏
Elaine has to say things like that because she could not accuse her own client- that’s against code of conduct; Amber is just a vicious liar 😂😂😂
Many of the trial fans for johnny werent really fans of his acting work. They came to his defence after reviewing the public evidence shown by content creators
@@zoe9190 I was basically neutral on both of them prior to the trial. I went in expecting that she was going to be telling the truth. Mostly it was her own testimony that made me side with Johnny. The beatings and injuries that she described would have been impossible to cover up.
@@karlat7880 BOOM 💥 EXACTLY and Amber Heard also said that she had mountain of evidence where is that so called EVIDENCE 🤔
As a DV and SA survivor AH makes my blood boil. She is the worst of humanity. If she was a man she would be in prison. She had zero evidence of Johnny's alleged abuse, but Johnny had lots of evidence of her abusing him. I am so disgusted of how the msm and others have protected her and continue to try and twist the truth. And Elaine her lawyer should have lost her licence for going on tv and continuing the lies. She had no right to do that she is not a pr rep. She insulted the whole court and judicial system. I wish Judge Penny would have called her out publicly. Johnny has never in decades had any charges for anything like this. yet AH has 2 arrests for DV and also she was charged as a minor for dui that resulted in a friend being killed. He dad was convicted of running dog fighting ring yet AH supposedly gave him her dogs that she had while living with Johnny. No one has seen those dogs since. Why are the msm not reporting on any of that. Because she has corrupt connections behind the scenes.
This is interesting about the dogs how could she...
Claiming to be a victim and survivor of domestic violence while making life harder for actual victims with her false claims. Part of the reason real victims don’t come forward.
She definitely should be in prison and I can't believe she wasn't prosecuted for perjury in Australia.
There we go again. It's all MSM's fault. You have obviously not paid attention. Though I agree with your assessment of "AH".
@@MR-intel... Did anyone say this was the msm's fault? I mean, they are somewhat at fault that the lies were spread as far as they were, but that's exactly why they were used by Heard. She used the msm to her advantage because it was convenient and easy to do so, and the msm ran with it because it's profitable celebrity gossip. No one is BLAMING the MSM for what happened, we're just pointing out it has its problems with how things like this are handled and who gets to push what narrative.
"Bruce rivers he's the crimal lawyer" it's what I sing in my head or out loud every time I get a notification form my pals!! Yay
I always without a doubt sing along at the "Uuuh!!" at the end 😂
Same.
You ain’t gettin out till 2058!!
me too hahaa
And he's gonna react to all the self snitchin' ❤
It boils my blood all over again, listening to Elaine lie her ass off during her closing arguments. She knew damn well Amber wasn't paying for her defense.
The best part, funniest part to me anyway. Amber's attorney "objection your honor" Judge "but that was your own question" the look on his face 😂
I agree that was a priceless comment, what a dope.
I befriended a neighbor once, and soon found out she was a bitter, malicious narcissist like AH. Her husband was quiet but friendly, always willing to lend a hand, and made really good money.
One night, we heard her screaming and cops surrounded their house. The husband went to jail for domestic violence, and he ended up moving out. About a year later, we didn't see her at her house for about a week and her (ex) husband came back to clear out stuff from the house. We talked to him and turned out she had beat the crap out of herself and said he did it, but she didn't get away with it!
Women aren't always the victims!! People need to get that out of their heads.
She did not get away with it? Thank goodness! Do you know what happy to her, did she go to jail?
I loath women like that. They only help to discredit those who are legitimately being abused.
Any person who makes a false allegation should receive the same amount of jail time the man would've received of convicted.
I agree. Or at least a sum of time that's comparable. No more slap on the wrist for trying to slit a cops throat.
Yes it is these women who create the need for ample corroborating evidence.
I have a family member who did this to their partner. Then, they proceeded to completely destroy this person's life. It was absolutely awful. Since I don't speak to this person, I only found out about after the fact. Had I known, I would have done anything to help the partner. It's awful that people often get away with that kind of nonsense. I'm glad the woman was jailed and I hope she was jailed for a long time
Love your impression of Amber's "my dog stepped on a bee" 😂😂
Hahahaha I howled. That face was painful to look at. My cheeks hurt.
😂😂😂
I'm so glad this trial was recorded. There are so many key points. She will never live this down, especially that whole "I pledged it" crap. This is a prime example of why we shouldn't just blindly believe people.
The biggest thing she did, has ruined his career and reputation. How did that happen?
She be crazy.@@cathydocimo9224
@@cathydocimo9224 He’s recovered beautifully, making a variety of films and being considered again for the parts he lost. And, the support from those who love and support him has been amazing. He’s made of pretty tough stuff and is probably a living example of ‘Whatever doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger’ in the finest sense of Nietzsche’s meaning.
He fought back in the interest of his children’s welfare and still has their love, and it appears his ex-wife’s friendship and a number of close friends, despite the loss of Jeff Beck. He’s still able to play guitar and he seems pretty philosophical about the realization of AH’s true nature. Whatever philosophy he ascribes to in living his life, he’s a great role model for those who’ve suffered loss.
You're glad that Johnny was able to use his money, power and the people on his payroll to serve as yes men for him and televise this trial to humiliate a woman he already physically abused in front of the whole world so he could continue abusing her and using Y'ALL to abuse her long after their relationship was over? She pledged to donate the money which is true. She did not name him in the oped and her oped is very true considering what happened to her. The thing is y'all hang up on details that have no relevance to abuse or what the case is about. You think the pledge thing is important but it holds no bearing on whether she was abused. She is not a gold digger, she did not take any spousal support or houses or cars which she was entitled to!!!!! She took the dogs and the settlement to donate which she started to but then informed the charities she would not be able to continue as she'd hoped and that the money would come in slower than their original 10 year scheduled plan because she was being sued. she signed a 10 year contract people! She was never going to donate a whole lump sum of money at once! And the charities knew that! Johnny didn't even give her the whole fucking settlement at one time in one payment, how was she going to give all the money to the charities immediately when she didn't have it all immediately??? Y'all have brains but you just let them roll around in your head and collect dust. Please inform yourselves before making harmful comments online about abuse when you know nothing about it. Again, the pledge has no relevance to the abuse she suffered.
@@katecoe8322he's literally been drunk and angry on set on his new movies. He's a terrible person to work with.
The most damning was her testimony and the tapes. She didn`t once say You raped me You beat me, how dare you complain that I once punched back. no she says I didn`t punch you I only hit you don`t be a baby, she yelled and complained that he ran from the fights and tried to lock himself in rooms to get away from her.

The trial infuriated me to no end. Her lies were SO egregious. Camille took her down SO brilliantly. She's hated world wide for good reason.
Even though the opinion columns from a lot of women still supported her after this. It was disgusting and a f-you to survivors, of which I am one
I'm also never going to get over the fact that she spent 6 MILLION DOLLARS on her gaggle of lawyers
@@taiakaishe spent nothing. Her insurance companies covered all costs. I'm so curious what she did with her $7M.
What stood out the most for me was how the media spins the narrative. It was a real shocker to me and a real disappointment.
I so *love* reliving this trial! ❤ Seeing a liar exposed is immeasurably satisfying. Seeing someone so oblivious to how transparent their deception is remains simultaneously frightening and amusing. The soundbites and tweets that this trial elicited were priceless! 😂
The way Elaine is blaming everyone but Amber is insanity. I’ve never seen a person lie as much as AMBER HEARD. Elaine is making such a fool of herself to anyone who watched this trial. She should be reprimanded for her unethical behavior.
The "suppressed evidence" is basically notes from her therapist at the time. Which wasnt allowed because its _not evidence._ Its just her _saying_ something happened and someone writing down what she said. Given the utter lack of actual evidence, all that does is prove that shed been planning it for a while.
Elain knew it was hearsay but kept jumping up screeching she does have medical evidence. She's as crooked as Scamber
I guarantee that those "therapist notes" were forgeries, too.
It's called, "Hearsay" as Rottenborn so famously said SOOOO many times!! 😂
I'll always love that moment when Kate Moss begins her testimony. Amber's head starts swivelling back and forth, her eyes fluttering, her off the chart blink rate, and frowning with discomfort. Golden.

4:29
That's because Kate Moss has a commanding presence of a star even while not physically present, even while being extremely reserved. Her dignity and class was palpable and Heard looked cheap in comparison. As a narcissist Heard has to be The Star of every gathering, and it was Her trial, Her big day in court and suddenly she was just an NPC in a Kate Moss biopic.
As soon as AH claimed he was abusive, I literally crinkled my face in thought, because I didn’t remember anyone ever claiming he’d beat them. Then afterwards, she settled for money. And that money was never even donated! I knew she was shady in 2016.
There's a saying, "She lies when the truth fits better!". No saying can describe Amber Heard better.
💯💯💯
The thing that made me sick also, was on the NBC show after the trial, they had a "Opinion" columnist from the always "honest" New York Times. She thinks the reason Heard lost was because of the MISOGYNIST MOB MENTALITY!! Well, ok?!! The thing she fails or refuses to point out is the fact that The ME TOO mentality that was running rampant through Hollywood at that time, absolutely DESTROYED DEPPS CAREER!! He was cut from Disney, totally removed from Fantastic Beasts, no more Pirates of the Caribbean!! And pretty much was strung up in the media straight across the board. BEFORE A SHREED of evidence came out. They blindly took her word on it. 90% of people going into the start of the trial were backing Heard. (I just can't bring myself to call her Miss or Ms. That's a term for ladies.) BUT, as the EVIDENCE came out it was so OBVIOUS she was in the wrong that only zealots still believed her story. I just can't get over how fast the opinions shifted. And I think Depp got what he actually set out to do, BRING THE ACTUAL TRUTH to light. No Heards "Own" truth, but, the actual truth. I'm glad for him, I'm glad he just rolled with the punches when they tried to tear down his character by EXPOSING his extra curricular activities. Such as him having a "mega pint" of his favorite beverage. But, by admitting his short comings, and not just flat out lying, like SOME PEOPLE have, uh-hmm, he came across more believable. Where as her, with the things like, Donate/pledge synonymously, just looks awful. Then her insinuating that EVERYONE else was lying, and she was the only beacon of truth in all of California, when there was undeniable evidence, was just hard to watch. Granted, I think the lawyers did a good job on Depps side, I really don't think Heards lawyers were that horrible. I think they had a job that was just impossible. I mean, the only people I remember really being on her side was her sister, and that weird psychiatrist. Which, really backfired on them, cause Depps Psychiatrist tore Heards guy all up. And while Heards sister was running Depp into the ground, what does he do? Does he attack her? Does he run her down? NO!!! He admits that they had some good times together, and that he actually took her in and let her live in one of his Penthouses, and not charging her a dime!!! So, he comes across as a good guy, even to those who speak and act poorly to him. I think Heards Attorneys were just screwed from jump street. It was like trying to defend someone who said they seen a UFO!! Like, how do you prove it if you didn't take any good pics, but, the ones you did take you put them through photoshop software!! They literally had the job of picking gnat crap out of black pepper!! Just, impossible. So, I'm sorry for rambling on, there was just alot for me to get off of my chest. And I had just seen that new york times reporters interview. How did she ever get a job writing her opinion? Her and Heard are definitely riding around on the same cloud of victimhood. Oh well, is what it is.
As a woman who is a survivor of sexual assault, it absolutely infuriates me when women lie about abuse, as it will always harm future victims. She is despicable, and I have always been able to see through her deception, not just because it was obvious that she was lying based off of her presentation, but also her affect and demeanor. It’s so frustrating that people sum up this case to his notoriety, rather than her lies.
You were there? How do you know? You weren’t there.
@@MsHeartIsArt you are right I was not there no one who is, we can only go by the testimony given by the people who were. As someone who has survived that type of trauma, her testimony did not ring through to me personally, but again we can only go based on the testimony of the people who were there.
@@MsHeartIsArtyou weren't there either, how can you say it DID happen?
You obviously haven't had to experience DV & SA, or else you would not think she's being truthful. Be glad you haven't been through that. But to us who have, it's clear as day by HER actions and words alone that she's full of shit. There's just somethings you can't fake, you can't study and try to emulate or act. She is a disgusting human being.
I think that was what so compelling about this case for so many women. A hell of a lot of us have sat in silence about our abuse and this woman had the nerve to make up lies about abuse! It offended us. Thank goodness this man had the millions spare to clear his name. As for the other person's comment, I personally don't understand it.❤
@@sandy-quimsrus glad you can see it too! We need women to tell their truth rather than exaggerating and lying about her experience. She is disgusting
I was happy that Johnny Depp received justice because Amber Heard really proved how vile and disgusting she really was.
This trial is a master class on how court cases should and should not be run.
Poor Johnny. This women is a piece of work.
Johnny has friends and employees who have known/been friends and worked for him for 10+ years. Amber has people who didn't stick around for more than 3yrs. That speaks volumes as the type of person she is
Yes, some even 30+ years. 😊
Don’t forget the pics of AH walking joyfully with her friends Rocky and boyfriend, leaving an Apple Store, while they were all holding New devices the day after her strategic TRO filing. Surely, AH gifted them a thank you 😉 😉. No make-up, no bruises a day later 🤡 🤔
They dropped the 🥵 🥔 , too.
The picture of him on the floor next to the bed is actually heartbreaking.
What if a woman was sleeping curled on her side looking like someone afraid to sleep on the bed. Between the wall and the bed. Like trying to avoid being seen.
Yet Amber found him.
She is so cold blooded it's scary
She found him lol….they were playing hide & seek!!😂😂😂😂
Fool
@Cant. stop EXACTLY 💯 PERFECTLY SAID 👌 👏
Amber Heard losing has really set back the pretend victim hood movement
😂😂😂
46:16 That part drove me nuts. Elaine questioning the jury's integrity when they spent 6 weeks of their life sitting through monotonous taped testimony and the ever changing arguments. Don't insult the jury because you lost Elaine.
Yeah ikr. And (22.03 ) when Johnny's lawyer accidentally called her ms Turd too 😂😂
Agreed, it was the stupidest thing she did. No juror will trust her after that. She shot herself in the foot (career wise) with that statement alone.
Amber's team was playing checkers while Depp's team was playing chess!
She insulted both the jury and the judge with false accusations. To claim the trial was won on social media is just plain and simple BS. It was tried in a court of law, in front of a real judge who used rules of the bar to decide what evidence to allow in and what to keep out. It was tried in front of a real jury who saw what anyone else who tuned in saw, that AH had no concrete evidence to back any of her claims. Then add witnesses who show AH made false statements on the stand, like about Kate Moss, and it shows a pattern.
I didn't know anything about the case before watching. So I knew was that JD was abusive to AH and she had a restraining order. That's it. No details. Just thought he beat her. I'm so thankful this trial was televised. I watched all of it. It shocked me just how much she blatantly lied. Not only was her testimony absurd, but her own recordings were extremely damaging to her. Not one recording showed her being scared of her abuser.
@@carolinecoy3164I'm not so sure it was an accident! Lol I think when she got hired for this case, someone got her to agree that she would say Ms. Turd at least once during the trial. It was priceless! 😂😂😂

My first reaction was that the channel had been hijacked by some violent hobo. 😂

I feel so sorry for Johnny Depp.
I can't imagine what it must be like to be abused by someone you love, then have them push you to the point you feel forced to provide proof of their abuse, then have your abuser confess to abusing you (even if she tried to claim it was self-defense/mutual), and still have mainstream media and a good chunk of the populace believing that you were the abuser.
And the worst part is that it happens to who-knows-how-many victims all the time who don't get televised trials to share their truth.
AH’s actions reminds me of my brother’s ex-wife…she jumped on him like a damn spider monkey and punched the shit out of him while screaming, “Stop hitting me!!! Please, stop!!!”
He actually walked outside his house with her hanging off of him with his hands in the air…thank God the cops came and saw that or he would’ve been the one in jail…
*she was cuffed and hauled off* 😂
Great story with a great outcome.
Thank goodness they saw her wailing on him😊what a crazy cow 🐮
When she and my brother got together she had a 3 month old daughter from a previous relationship and they have one daughter together…the icing on the cake is the judge apparently saw my brother’s ex was bat-shit crazy and gave my brother full custody of both the girls…they’re grown women with kids of their own and doing very well in life IN SPITE of the woman who gave birth to them…
Thank God for my brother and that judge…❤️
Thank the heavens Johnny took her to trial. I admit that I had believed her. This changed the way I view the world. She did so much damage. Unforgivable. This is the trial that introduced me to Bruce and Michael - I'm better for it.
Thank you for being willing to listen. A very close friend of mine was accused falsely. It destroyed him.

I’m in the UK & the way the MSM handled the UK trial , I also believed she was a victim of DV. It was only a few channels on YT that alerted me that things were not what they seemed .
She literally took pieces from Gone Girl novel, it was mind blowing.
@@shooglechic 👍just watched the Surviving Amber Heard documentary & the family said the same .
Moving forward, every potential juror in one of Elaine's cases will remember how she baselessly accused these jurors, without a shred of evidence, of not doing their duty in this case (just like Amber baselessly accused Johnny). Is it "you get the lawyer you deserve" or "you get the client you deserve"? Either way, theirs seems like a match made in heaven.
Elaine making all these excuses made her look like a monster. I doubt that anyone would want to hire her after this.
2:20 - JD & his attorney's reaction to AH's psychiatrist is priceless. Pretty sure it was a genuine "WTF ?" reaction.
And I expect JD will incorporate those facial expressions into a future character he plays!😂
I so *love* reliving this trial! ❤ Seeing a liar exposed is immeasurably satisfying. Seeing someone so oblivious to how transparent their deception is remains simultaneously frightening and amusing. The soundbites and tweets that this trial elicited were priceless! 😂
@@ThatRedhedd since this trial, how many 'high profile' men have been vindicated in court when a female has thrown all kinds of allegations at them & they've said, " WTF are you talking about? " This trial was a turning point that allowed decent, innocent men to say, " Enough.. ".
If the op-Ed wasn’t about Johnny, why go through weeks of trial trying to prove the alleged abuse in the op-Ed was done by Johnny?
She had to claim abuse because of her counterclaim. She probably wins if she doesn't file that counterclaim.
Right? 😂
I watched every second of that trial. It was SO GOOD. I was wishing the whole time that they could show pics of women who had REALLY been hit in the face. With or without rings on… and then put them next to the pictures of her injuries that were so fake!!!
I always wondered why they didn't do that to.......
@@Patricia-_-.-_0220 I don’t think it would have been allowed. I know there’s some technical reasons but I don’t know why 😂😂 wish they would have shown them right next to each other. Would have made a HUGE impact.
@@prometheus660 I mean just look at Rihanna from Chris brown. And what was him just hitting her WHILE he was driving in some of those pics. And without rings. Johnny had chunky rings on each finger and she had a tiny bruise (done by make up). If it was real her face would have been TORN UP. Black and blue and bleeding and take weeks and weeks to recover. And she would have had a million pics of that bc she took pics of everything to use against him. I wish there was some way they could have brought into evidence what it’s really like but I know there’s some reason they couldn’t
And that cow had the audacity to try to "explain" to the jury how broken noses "don't really swell 🤦♀️
It's obvious she's never actually been hit a day in her life. She has no idea what being cracked in the face actually looks/feels like, but she thinks so highly of herself that she really thought she could sell that BS to the jury.
There is a recording that if listened to in the right context, elaborates exactly what she did.She definitely had a plan in place in case she needed it(when she is telling him about all her evidence she has, if he doesn’t give her what she asked for in the divorce) Taking photos, sending texts to her mum, Rocky and putting makeup on , then sitting on it for 3 years!! Who’s going to believe she did that???? Absolute piece of work🤬
I’m still amazed with people still believing she was a wrongly accused innocent women
Fr, like the absolute most charitable conclusion about Amber you could possibly get from the trial would be that they were both somewhat abusive to each other. You'd have to have the critical thinking skills of a salamander to take away from all this that Amber was only an innocent victim and Johnny was only an abuser.
That’s because the AH fans never followed the truth, they chose to believe the liar Amber Heard, they never watched the case.
This was such an important case for abused men, everywhere. I hate it that Johnny went through this, but he has helped so many people by doing everything he did.
Hi.....Greetings dear
Glad to hear from you.
I appreciate your love and support
Where are you watching from?
The craziest part of Amber's storytelling, was her constant over-prosecution of Johnny's opiate addiction inside a country with literally an epidemic with thousands upon thousands of citizens that are from all social steps of the social ladder, all walks of life, clergy people, doctors, politicians, athletes, as she tries to paint that as proof that Johnny is evil and abusive, in a country with an epidemic size of people who have been or are currently addicted to pain pills or the street form of said pain pills. She expected a huge blow up of shame and judgement in a country where this is the most common dependency out of every drug on the planet. People relate with Johnny's issues. People can say, "been there" or "I know someone who has" as a form of mental illness. That doesn't make one an abuser or rapist and she continuously tries to tie those together. It doesn't work. More Americans can empathize with Johnny's shortcomings, than Amber's with her wild accusations, lies, and bizarre behavior like shitting in his bed. She's so dead set on the lie that if she can convince 'we the people' that he is addicted to oxicodone, then we will automatically find him to be am evil monster. That's not the angle she should have gone with. She's been busted for lying and she got what she worked for, justice. And I hope we never see her again.
She’s moved to Spain now so we don’t have to look at her ever again.
Johnny Depp played Hunter Thompson in a movie loved Hunter Thompson talked about him and his lifestyle and glorified it and Amber is thinking that people knowing about his drug use is going to destroy his career or severely damage his reputation?
It just shows you how people are a product of air conditioning, and undoubtedly Amber Heard‘s background was not similar to Johnny Depp‘s
I'm just speculating but sometimes I think the reason she had a child was because she wanted to feel loved.
@@TaurusWitch29- This!!

As a DV survivor, AH. M makes me very angry. She set back women fighting against DV harder. I have the evidence and won my divorce and half his retirement.😊
What's scary is not only does the evidence show that he wasn't the abuser, it actually showed that she was the abuser - both mentally and physically. It is a setback.
No men lie, women lie. Only evidence counts. She set back nothing except that woman are "automatically " believed on their "word".
Same! As a surviver, she p***ses me off to no end!
Good job on your case! I’m sorry you had to to through that
You’d be surprised that in 70% of one sided abuse/ domestic violence it’s the women who are the perpetrators. When it’s mutual abuse the numbers are around the same. Around 46/47% I think. In cases of mutual domestic violence men inflict more physical harm onto their partners which often leads to women having to go to hospital for their injuries. Because of that, society thinks that it is men who are mostly the perpetrators of domestic violence. Nothing is further from the truth.
"Why do you think they did not believe her?"
I can answer this one: Because she was proven to be lying - falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus. Also, her injuries were fantastical. I counted AT LEAST three separate instances where she would have needed serious medical attention after, not showing up in public looking perfectly fine the next day.
Yes, Elaine, you have to have proof of abuse - photos, hospital visits, medical records, witnesses. Otherwise, anyone can accuse anyone else of something and it means you're guilty? How did you pass the bar?
I actually discovered your channel because of this trial. Congratulations on 1 million subs! I love your content, keep it up!

Because of this channel I discovered Bruce Rivers' theme rap and my girlfriend _really_ loves when I spend all afternoon asking her who Bruce Rivers is and what he do.
@@nickstone1587 lol can see it now lol.
I’m astounded Mr. Depp was able to obtain any level of sobriety with an evil witch like AH. Listening to her goad, laugh, make fun of “21 Jump Street” etc is actually frightening.
I truly believe her sister is a victim from childhood; I hope she can break that connection to have any semblance of a normal life.
Btw, I really like the beard.
Not initially; lil scruffy but you carry it well!
I think it looks seasoned, mature and handsome. Especially the salt & pepper colour.
Plus, Michael the Content creator always gets your best shots, etc so thank you, Michael!
agree ...great look
the best moment for me in this trial was the video of her letting slip that TMZ had already been told. Had me laughing because that was so huge and she thought no-one would notice? lol
That was hilarious!
She reminds me of of the woman that played Joan Crawford in Mommy Dearest. Holding her chin up as if she is imagining the people clapping and cheering for her when she is being fired .
Rottenborn says Mr Depp "will not take accountability for his own actions" and YET he sat in the witness box and took accountability for his addictions - addictions which, frankly, were not that much his fault.
He hurt himself filming and was given, by a doctor, large doses of opiods. And this was in the midst of an abusive, violent, horrible relationship. The abused person will often end up self medicating. Plus this all took place under a doctor's care. That doctor continued to give him prescriptions for those opiods. BUT he presented NEITHER of these two reasons for why he became addicted to the court. He just said "I did it, it was wrong, I was wrong.".
Then there's Heard, who claimed she didn't drink or use drugs....but her own medical records list her as abusing about 15 different substances, uppers and downers, and she writes "Drugs" on her wedding plan.
I wondered how much Rottenborn loathed Heard.
If Amber Heard told me the sky was blue I’d go get my umbrella. She’s so full of “grumpies”
He must've been well paid by the ins cos. Both he & Elaine had to know she was lying, but at least he didn't go on network shows to lie more! Elaine sure did & very nearly lost her law license! Judge A threatened to seriously hurt her, financially & professionally after she went on & was interviewed by Gayle King to STOP doing that or face sanctions & potential loss of her law license!! I believe everyone deserves their day in court but not to lie & have multiple attys lie for them, not to mention being so sold on the lies they'd go on & do TV interviews spouting those lies! She knew the UK trial was NOTHING that should've ever been allowed into the court on defamation! Yet she took her show on the road, repeating the lie that AH BEAT JD in the UK trial! She did no such thing! She wasn't a named party in the UK & Elaine knew that! I assume she'll attract other crooks, but I'd say, I'd HOPE, many will now know Elaine's good for bending the truth to her & her clients will!! Sad, really! Didn't take a rocket surgeon to know those were lies she was promoting!!
pretty sure none of AH's attorneys enjoyed her company. More like, " FFS, here she comes.. '.
Agree with your overall point, except his addiction being "not that much his fault." I hear what you're saying, but as you pointed out, even Johnny recognized it was his fault. We don't know what condition(s) Johnny had our the quantity/dosage of the prescription. I've been given opiates from my doctor, and I was addicted for 2 years, and in addition to my prescription, I was also buying them elsewhere. We don't know if Johnny seeked out a doctor willing to give him what he wanted, or if he was getting additional opiates somewhere else. Not suggesting the doctor doesn't share some responsibility, but ultimately it's the individuals decision. And I wouldn't be surprised if Johnny was using to escape the turmoil in his relationship with AH, and someone as rich and famous as he is, won't have any problem securing them.
Again, agree with your overall point, but from personal experience I feel that Johnny is at fault, independent of any doctor or pull pusher, who are also largely at fault.
@topspot4834 we were told he had some dental surgery that started him on opioids but once he realized it was out of control, his, he had the means to get help once he decided to get clean. I dunno what Dr on the planet earth would've allowed her to be there, never mind control his meds, but that NEVER should've happened!! I get she was a royal pain everyone tried to placate but dang... put your foot down, Dr! He should've been the heavy & told her NO! YOU CAN'T COME ALONG! I get why that venture wasn't successful. She claimed to want him sober but, :1) She derailed his attempts to do so by being there, chastising him, & monkeying with his meds, & 2) She wouldn't stop her use to help him and that's huge!! If anyone's ever been there, they know... you CANNOT be around someone who continues to use! ANYTHING! My son got clean & then his wife wanted him back, BUT he'd stopped EVERYTHING & she wouldn't lay down a couple of things he'd been on for years, and that's that! She's unwilling to do the same but insisted he do it. He did & then she wouldn't. That was the end of their marriage, sadly. I bet, tho we don't know, JD didn't manage to get clean until he got rid of her! How could he? It was a joke to her! We know she didn't REALLY want this, tho! I think she really planned to use his addiction to get rid of him. Easy. Just one or two too many... maybe he did or backed off, I dunno, & likely never will but I do know what he tried never would've worked with her in the picture! It really was not what she wanted. But yeah...JD was in chg, he knew he couldn't keep out up, & was very tired of it. Dr bears responsibly in the beginning but not later. Later is all on JD to fix. I'm sure he knows that, tho.
Ya know, one thing I never understood about Rottenborn's closing was that he said "You don't ever leave Mr. Depp...if you do he will start a global smear campaign against you, destroy your career and your life.". Yet besides Heard's claims there's no evidence of that. All of his other girlfriends/wives have had very VERY successful careers after they broke from him. Winona Ryder, Kate Moss, Vanessa Paridis...none of them had some kind of smear campaign against them, none of them had their careers destroyed or their lives threatened.
And just like with the abuse claims, the past is kind of damning *against* Heard. Abusers don't usually just start abusing at 58. If they are so vindictive as to destroy your life and career and start smear campaigns, they do that to *all* their girlfriends/wifes not just the one.
That's exactly what Amber did to Johnny. Nobody Leaves AMBER
Exactly! Projection at its finest.
🎯🎯🎯
The other wives and girlfriends having nothing bad to say about Depp was a big red flag for me. It's like every time a famous, powerful man (who actually did it) gets accused of something awful, dozens of other victims come out of the woodwork like #Metoo, but in Amber's Case, no one ever even anonymously put out that they had been a victim of Johnny's too. I mean, I'm sure it's possible that someone could pick only one single person to abuse throughout their lifetime, but most abusive men in these powerful positions have several victims over years and years.
The fact that Johnny's accusations didn't go as typical in that way didn't make me think anyone was more or less innocent, but it definitely helped me recognize early on that something was very off.
"Cry me a River"
I burst out laughing at that. A clever jab.
I can tell that Bruce was tickled by it, too. 😂
13:46 in the UK case, it was identified that Amber split this incident in to 2 incidents after evidence came forward of no injuries to her, and JD's lawyer called her out on it. She tried really hard not to get caught up in this trap again.
edit: evidence being that within hours of this supposed incident, Amber and Johnny attended a party and there's a photo of her looking her usual immaculate self with a man who was only in town for that night, according to flight records.
Never stop saying “so here’s the deal” it’s endearing.
Something I’ll always remember is Ambers team trying to make Johnny look bad by reading his texts to Paul Brittany immediately after the breakup. And it’s for 2 reasons:
1. It was hilarious
2. Who amongst us would be willing to have our texts to our close friends after a bad breakup read publicly?
I thought it was so unbelievably stupid, because the _only_ physical evidence they had was a text to _someone else._ No texts from him to her like that, no recordings, no medical records. Just him quoting a character he played once to _not Amber_
"No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!" 😉
The remaining Amber cultists really latch onto his texts lol, it’s some grand proof of a horrible abuser to them instead of like…a man ranting about his abuser
Actually, I think his text messages were exceedingly creative, and gave me an occasional chuckle. In fact , there were some choice insults I have to commit to memory, so should the occasion arise, I'm ready with a full volley of amusingly gross descriptions. Were they course? Totally. But what would anyone expect? A freakin' love letter? He was angry and he was in the process of getting his pockets picked, so yeah, he wrote nasty stuff, so what,
I felt he showed enormous constraint given what he was up against!!
I am not from the USA but I am so glad this trial was televised. I feel there should be cameras in every courtroom. This was a clearly orchestrated hoax and I began following the facts being shown by content creators like Incredibly Average and TUG. The amount of evidence that was kept out on JD’s side was unbelievable. As a survivor I am so glad that the truth finally came out and that Johnny got his life back. #abusehasnogender
Yes, agreed!! What a hoax this flappy fish and her free loading cronies almost got away with!!
I despise this thing people have done where they are trying to sound diplomatic, where they don’t pick sides and say “ oh well it was both of them because they were both in a toxic relationship with each other, therefore they were both abusive to each-other “… which is just absurd to me. We have a narcissistic manipulator, liar, and a physical abuser who is saying and doing everything she can to maliciously hurt someone… and people are saying that bc he was in a relationship with her, he’s also guilty? When THIS is what happens when he leaves her!? He must have been terrified of leaving her! That in itself is a threat to him, the guy must have lived in terror until he finally said enough and got out! Then this Netflix doc came out and I was floored. If you haven’t watched the accurate documentary called “Surviving Amber Heard” then I suggest you do, and PEOPLE, please enough of the diplomatic answers! You sound ridiculous.
Well said! It is infuriating.

But, now that it's grown out, it looks Fantastic!
Majestic!
the fact the pseudo documentary uses clips from others without permission and is marking the copyright as their own is telling... no matter how powerful Amber's connections are and how many spins they try, we saw it and nobody believes her!
this was SO Great !! :) thank you for doing this. I think it was brilliant of JD to record AH on that visit to hotel room to meet AFTER her restraining order. HE knew then what he was up against and sadly she took it step further and wrote that article accusing him of such a SICKENING crime that he had to speak up !! I applaud him for doing so because of the stigma of how could a man be abused by a woman. HE is such a private person as well and naturally shy it just blows my mind that he was able to go forward with this and even better ! he won! and helped men around the world who too are suffering abuse from a woman whether a mother a sibling a wife a brother all of it !! HE SPOKE UP !
Having open public cases like this is amazing, to see the case and then see the spin in the media is kind of amazing.
I relay hope more big cases are this public.
Amber is so damaged and tried to take Johnny down with her
She was so jealous of her own husband.
I think she tried, actually she DID step all over him on her hopeful way up…
This might be a dumb question but it's been on my mind - if Amber really claims that her article was not about Johnny, wouldn't it have been in her best interests to say Johnny never abused her, or at least for her to downplay his abuse?
So much of this trial was her insisting that Johnny was incredibly abusive, going so far as to rape her with a bottle - but that also just gives her more incentive to write the article about him and is further evidence that it was indeed about him, right?
Her opening statement was she wrote the obed because of Depp
She claims he was beating her before she married him! Who does that? A goldigger.
I saw a lot of the trial….complete train wreck from the beginning. She simply wasn’t believable. Her attorney was horrible and then turned desperate at the end.
Amber was still working long after Johnny lost his work with Disney and I always felt she came out better after the divorce and was impacted far less than he was financially. I think anyone who can take a dump on a bed in their own home is a lunatic who needs supervision. I just have to add that her attorney did her no favors with her overdramatic and irritating persona.
since this trial, how many 'high profile' men have been vindicated as innocent when a female has thrown all kinds of allegations at them & they've said, " WTF are you talking about? " This was a turning point for decent, innocent men..
“Men and females” 🤢
I don’t know what the IRS’s problem is, I *pledged* to pay them my taxes! 😂🤦🏼♀️🤣
I remember seeing on Facebook the picture of Johnny with the split ice cream but not knowing the truth, the statement was something like “once famous movie star passed out drunk” basically saying he’s a washed up alcoholic. So glad he took her to court and now we all know the truth.
The picture of Johnny curled up with his head protected by the end table and wall breaks my heart. I found my brother in this position more then once after my father beat him.😢

Loving your Elvis stamp cufflinks. I grew up in Tupelo MS, Elvis's hometown. He would often drive down from Memphis (about 1 hr away.) I was very young, I lived close to his cousin, who was later sheriff. When Elvis would visit Mr. Harold and because I'd beg, Elvis would take me on rides on his motorcycle or convertible. I was 4 or 5 and remember tossing my long blonde hair so the wind would flow through it. Elvis would laugh and if we were in the convertible he would sing to me. I was young and had no idea who he was, only that he was always fun and accommodating to a little girl. Later I found out he set up a trust for my college tuition and expenses. I never saw him after age 14 and he died when I was 17. Elvis had a heart of gold.
These two individuals are the perfect example of polar opposites relating to human behavior. Johnny is talented, has a beautiful soul, is gentle and very generous on many levels. AH is not talented, has an ugly soul, is greedy, is a bully and doesn’t know how to tell the truth is her life depended on it. So, so happy things are going Johnny’s way now. A.H.’s credibility is done. No-one trusts her, and karma is a beautiful thing.
Thank you to the River’s men, awesome content as usual.
it's really sad that Amber still to this day believes her own lies and so do her followers, not once did she ever take accountability for anything, even after the trial was over and done with.
She doesn't believe her lies, she is just surprised others are not believing her B.S ..
Folk like that don't lie, they don't cheat' they don't do anything wrong. Everything is always so terrible for them, Everyone is always so bad to them. Millions of people around the world are wrong, not them.

Amber's female attorney and Camill, "objection, hearsay, no foundation, blah blah" over and over, poor woman was speechless 😅😅
“My dog stepped on a bee 😩” 😭😭
Okay, here's what convinced me of Johnny Depp's innocence:
1.) If he beat her up in the way she claims, why did she not press criminal charges? I would have understood that if she hadn't talked about this publicly (which is what so many victims of domestic violence do). But going public in this way and not pressing criminal charges makes no sense at all.
2.) She did not seek medical attention for potentially severe injuries that would have affected her health for a long time if not lifelong. Why wouldn't she? She is an actress, for crying out loud. That would have affected her fitness for work, not even starting to talk about quality of life.
3.) As she did not seek medical attention, there is a severe lack of medical reports backing up her claims of injuries. Again: A whole lot of domestic violence victims do not seek medical attention and they live with the limitations their life has because of these poorly healed injuries. But especially those victims tend not to go public in the way Amber Heard did, even if they could.
4.) The first thing that perplexed me were the audio recordings. That showed simply too much of her being aggressive and him being defensive; don't get me wrong: he certainly is no saint. Couples fight; couples yell at each other; there's no one you can get as furious at as the person you love. (For more on that see the corresponding literature on the psycological background of this aspect of human behaviour.)
5.) Over the trial, I got the impression that even Amber Heard's team lost faith in her. Even Elaine, trying to save face during trial and in public apperances, did not appear to really believe what her client claimed.
I did watch most of the trial live, out of interest as I live in Germany and our laws here are quite a lot different from what there is in the USA. And I followed up on the UK trial, mostly with the videos from an Australian lawyer (Lost beyond Pluto) who showed and explained the documents as they were publicized. I already had my severe doubts when the UK trial was underway.
A note about the UK trial: In my understanding, that was to show if that "journalist" had enough reason to believe that Amber Heard's claims were true to report in the way that he did. From my understanding (but I am no lawyer at all!), the verdict in that case went overboard - and it was one of the reasons why that donation/pledge question was so very important in the US trial: One of the reasons the judge believed Amber Heard was that she claimed having donated (not pledged, donated!) those seven million dollars of the divorce settlement which led him to the conclusion that she could not have been a "gold digger".
Also, Johnny Depp tried to appeal the UK verdict which is quite a difficult process in the UK and the outcome was that the verdict stands although (!) there seemingly were claims by the witness Amber Heard that might not be true. If you're interested, have a look at those documents, too. It is very enlightening, in my opinion.
Sorry, long post. I just had to get that off my chest somewhere, as today on German early-morning TV there was a presentation of the movie Jeanne du Barry (which was highly recommended) and the presenter could not keep himself from commenting on this whole ordeal and the US trial, referring to Johnny Depp as "box office poison" for Hollywood productions because of all this. So, even here, even now, the actions of Ms Heard do have an impact on his work and subsequently on his livelihood. That is what happens when women accuse men of such heinous actions - they are believed at least to a point where the man is under constant scrutiny. That makes her accusing him in this way so very, very upsetting.
Love your well thought out comment. I watched the entire trial live and agree with you wholeheartedly.
I watched the trial too and was really sad to think that JD had done what he was accused of (I knew nothing about the case, I just like him as an artist). I came to the same conclusion that you did - he didn't do those things, and it is still very upsetting. I can't see how anyone that watched the trial could believe her! Thank goodness the jury took their job seriously and his legal team did such a good job as well.
You don't have to be a huge Depp fan to care about the truth or fairness in general. I think her lawyers are focusing on some hypothetical victim because deep down they know she is not one. That is a dangerous road to tread because it doesn't involve real empathy it involves thinking you are superior and in a position to "stand up for victims" without having a CLUE what actual victims need or want. I think many people take that stance, not because they care, but because it is an invisible wall between them and danger or weakness or poverty or whatever they think can't happen to them. It's sad as well as frustrating.
Lol, sorry this is so long :)
@@aoefeable Thank you! When I read my comment through again a bit later, I was worried that some things might be misunderstood, but thankfully that seems not to be the case. Sorrows of non-native speakers. 😊
@@danatowne5498 Yeah, quite so. I fully agree. Oh, and about long comments: I LOVE them. 😊
Wow you care too much.
One of the BEST decisions JD made regarding this trial was demanding the trial be televised. Everyone who watched the trial saw how AH lied and watched how her lawyers attempted to twist the facts.
I so *love* reliving this trial! ❤ Seeing a liar exposed is immeasurably satisfying. Seeing someone so oblivious to how transparent their deception is remains simultaneously frightening and amusing. The soundbites and tweets that this trial elicited were priceless! 😂
If you watch The Take, they paint Amber as a victim without the facts ... glad we still have someone talk about this with the facts and proof
I used to love that channel, unsubscribed when they started to defend her. Gaslighting at its finest.
@@freddiestardust I still subscribe to that channel because they make some good notes that I had used for a paper on manic pixie girlfriends Trope is actually more harmful than good for girls and it's just lazy writing by men writers. Because they're just used as a stepping stone for the male protagonist and once he gains some growth, she either dies because of her lack of definition. But that was for an essay on this horrible book called Feed. Everyone else was praising how good the book was, I debated how awful it was. And how it was like pulling teeth because the manic pixie girlfriend was at its worst but its very definition. I ended up getting an A- on the paper. However when it comes to real life people, I didn't hear them say boo about Lori Daybell or about Courtney the onlyfans model that murdered her boyfriend. They're like, completely tone-deaf when it comes to women who are in real life narcissistic abusers and murderers. Their biases was really disappointing. They should just stick to female characters and how badly male writers create them
@@JasmineGeminiDragon I was disappointed. They don't care about the facts only about their narrative and that is actually more damaging than anything.
She has a personal nurse and doctor but gets no medical treatment ever? Bullshit
And now Elon Musks book has come out revealing how awful and toxic she was to him. His brother saying how much he hated her, and even comparing her to the Joker, because all she wanted to do was cause chaos. I really wish he would have spoke out in support of Johnny during the trial. He had an toxic relationship with her (due to her actions) that sent him into a deep depression, and this this being the case really helps to prove the type of person Amber is.
This case is so interesting and I think it is is because a woman who is histrionic and borderline personality disorder, all her major lies that destroyed a man’s life have come to light and not only her lies but she physically and emotionally abused Johnny Depp and all of what she said and has done has come to light.
Considering humanity is hard-wired to always think the woman is the victim, it shows just how dreadful AH is that the world can’t stand her.
"hard wired to think the woman is the victim"
Did you know that until the 60s men always got custody of children.
Do you know that 99% of rape cases fail.
Over 300 women came forward with violent rape allegations against Harvey Weinstein, but less than FIVE were considered "prosecutable" and all those didn't win.
Do you know that in the US every day 3 women are murdered by their male partner or recent ex partner. They get sentences that range from 2 to 10 years.
Wives who kill husbands usually get life.
Despite all efforts to exonerate her by trad media. 🙄
Even if she wasn't lying I'd still be glad Johnny won

This trial was pretty influential in a couple ways, and that's one of them. Not only did it finally slam the door on the "believe all women" crap and MeToo, but it opened the eyes of a lot of stragglers who were still putting any stock in mainstream media. The entire world could see incredibly clearly how they shamelessly bastardize the truth to fit their BS narrative.
It was a good trial. Definitely going to be remembered for a long time.
@@Nicklafuego ...what? 💀 You mean even if it would turn out to be true that he actually did systematically abuse her, you would be glad that he won?
My dog stepped on a bee edit killed me lmao
When Johnny testified, you felt his pain. When AH did, you saw a sociopathic narcissistic abuser who lied.
The 1st time I saw the headline about AH filing for divorce with that bruise on her face, i was shocked- Johnny Depp? No way.
2nd thought was how curious that not once has she been viewed with a bruise, and suddenly, years later she shows up in public with a big bruise claiming abuse. It seemed staged to me. I had doubts.
Another scary thing is that AH just needed to be a better actor, and probably some of the allegations might have stuck.
I hope Johnny Depp is healing well.
Heard the transcripts are out now, including what was said as they approached the bench. Would love to see you give insight into those moments we could not hear.
Oh I've been watching reactions! Elaine was always whining and trying to get in non admissable stuff
I think the best part of the entire trial was the audacity of the Heard council to go "Amber didn't write the article, it wasn't her idea, but if it was, it wasn't about Depp"
I love that afte Rottenbourne lost that argument he immediately changed tack & claimed she didn’t write the title.
More importantly than saying it on a TV show she testified under oath that "the entirety of my divorce settlement was DONATED to charity:.
It's kind of out the window once you hear there are “no hospital records” or at least a rape kit after her accusations. It’s almost I want her to be telling the truth because her store are so freaking wacky! Think about it, who, in their right mind, makes up something like that is pretty crazy! She even looks crazy just by looking at her. I feel bad for Johnny Depp. He waste a lot of time with this one.
We can never forget the impossible lies, equivocations and exaggerations. My dog stepped on a bee. The mountains of evidence, Kate Moss on the stairs. Donate and Pledge are synonymous. Ice, “Amica” and makeup camouflaging broken noses and bruises. It went on and on.

Amber was a terrible witness on the stand - but having unlikeable Elaine Bredehoft on her side certainly didn't help, along with the two expert witnesses. They made a lethal combination. But then, she deserved nothing better.
The crazy thing is, if AH had just said she had changed her mind on the donations, that she needed the money herself to see her through the next chapter of her life, people would have been a bit grumpy about it, but ultimately they'd have understood. But she hung on to that lie, and got other people to make at least some donations on her behalf. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Yeah if she had just copped to not having donated it, I think it would have been annoying to most but fine in the end. Honestly you could say that about her entire cross exam. If she had rolled with the punches - like saying 'Yes, Johnny did get me the roll in Aquaman, I got a lot of things that I might not have gotten otherwise when I was with him.' - instead of trying to punch back all the time, she might have won.
Her evidence was primarily hot garbage but if she had been more honest instead of over playing what she did have and came across as less vindictive and angry and so quick to argue she might have beaten the 'actual malice' part of it and gotten away with it
And , she had ample time to come up with a better narrative. Defense filed motions in limine to keep information about her donations and questions about insurance footing her lawyer fees out . And Judge granted them but then Elaine and AH effed up, opened the door, and so some came in 😂!
You were the beacon during this trial and having your expertise then, and now is life-changing, and you have inspired so many fledging young students who want to pursue the law. Thank you.
You are very good at this. I like to listen while I work in my kitchen. Informative AND entertaining. And the Depp/Heard trial was epic.
