- APPEALS ARE IN! Johnny Depp & Amber Heard Court ERRORS EXPOSED | A Legal Breakdown
Excerpt from Vanity Fair
Amber Heard Sets Her 16-Point Grounds for Appeal
The actor, who was recently spotted in Spain, retained David L. Axelrod and Jay Ward Brown of Ballard Spahr for the appeal.
On Tuesday, Amber Heard filed an appellate brief, listing 16 grounds for appeal, four months after a jury awarded her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, $10.3 million in damages.
During the trial, which ended in June, Depp claimed he had been defamed by a 2018 op-ed Heard wrote at the behest of the ACLU. The opinion piece did not refer to Depp by name, but he successfully argued that readers could infer she was talking about him in two of its sentences, and in its headline.” The jury also awarded Heard $2 million in damages for her countersuit over a statement that Depp’s lawyer, Adam Waldman, made, in which he called her claims of abuse a “hoax.” From the end of the case, it was expected that Heard would appeal.

She's like a terminator never stops she just keeps coming. God I can't stand her. Mate, get a job and pay your rent like all of us.
She’s proving everything Johnny said was and is true. This is the woman who said she just wants Johnny to leave her alone, the evidence in the trial and now screams it’s the opposite. Amber won’t leave the world alone.
Amen!!!
No kidding, she's a nightmare to him and us!
😅😅👍
ditto it has even become physical when I watch videos on this I turn my head when she is on the screen this assisted wants money without getting tired JD made her taste luxury and does not want to go down again
For someone who said they didn't want anything from Mr.Depp.... she's trying very hard to get everything/anything/something.
Brilliant reply.
Wouldn’t any one, Every one, attempt to overturn a 10 million dollar judgement?
@@krustycrb7182 Maybe she should have quit while she was ahead. She is obviously not the poster woman for abuse she wants to be. Sad way to try to make yourself relevant and boost your career.
@@suzannfulbright5652 It’s done wonders for his career, not hers
@@krustycrb7182 Some people don't know when to quit. She would have been better off not initiating this crap in the first place. Such a waste.
She even admitted that she wrote the oped on the stand.
You mean she admitted that she wrote the op ed ABOUT Johnny. It was never in dispute re: whether she wrote it or not.
@@micheledematteis2072 admitted it twice on the stand
Yes she did it was music to my ears the more she talked the more she ruined her own case Johnny new she would bury herself cuz she didn't like Camille and the more Camille questioned her the madder she got and the more she talked the deeper she buried herself!!!!!😁👍🤣🤣
Cuz we all know she goes on for hrs!!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Camille Vasquez said in her interview that the only reason they are appealing is because Amber was appealing and they just wanted to make sure that all the facts would be considered in the appeal.
Yes because if he didn't appeal he would have to pay her!
Yes, and Johnny should not have to pay her anything.
@@francinelee4129 what does Amber want from Johnny I though this case was already stated like my dad said she alredy divorced him so why does she want from him by this point thus case is rely goung to bankrupt Amber all
@@zacharyjochumsen9677 It's a defamation case started by JD, he proved she maliciously defamed him but the court also tried to make it seem like JD's Ex Lawyer Adam Waldman defamed Amber, which he didn't, but the Jury ordered JD to pay for Adam defaming Amber despite Adam not working for JD anymore when he made his statements.
EDIT: Ambers appeal is because she's a narcissistic sore loser who can't take responsibility for her actions.
JD's appeal is to get that jury ruled payment to Amber overturned.
@@francinelee4129 That’s not what Camille said. She said Johnny wouldn’t have appealed if she had just moved on but since she did the only way for the appellate court to see ALL the records was for him to also appeal. They didn’t believe Amber’s team would have included everything. I agree. Wish someone would explain how Amber got out of turning over her phone and iPads to Johnny’s team. He turned all his over. Never understood why the jury wasn’t told. She didn’t want her texts known. I understand why she didn’t just not why the jury wasn’t told.
Dear God.
She ADMITTED IT WAS ABOUT HIM!!
Twice, on the stand
She said she wrote it because of him. Had you read the ooed or if it was a really entered into evidence you wouldn't sound so unbelievably ignorant right now. The trial was about an oped that wasn't even entered into evidence.
@@nicolebesser3548 yes, it in fact was and jurors had it to read during deliberations as well.
**AND Heard’s attorney Rottenborn encouraged them to read it in its entirety during closing arguments.
@@cnb4372 So where did she lie about Johnny in it?
@@nicolebesser3548 oh I see… you’re one of those people 🤣😌
She has no evidence! Not one valid doctors report of injuries. If any of her claims of injury were true she would have seen some doctor at the time. Think about worry for damage to her beauty that might damage her career? Never seeked a doctor. If she was damaged (as she claimed) in Australia. Johnny's doctor and a nurse were there. They would have treated her because of hipocratic oath. They only wanted to have her take meds to calm her down.
As a female DV survivor, I am so completely disgusted with her lies!! She has become the biggest enemy to DV victims being able to voice and plead their cases. She needs to be stopped.
My heart and prayers are with all DV victims/survivors for healing and help in telling the truth. Also, for peace in their lives. 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖💯💯💯
She didn’t need medical care. According to her, she had ice and makeup! 😂
@@lisadearing5960 Yes, that always works so well on lacerations to your feet after you’ve been walking on broken glass! 😂
Let's not forget if I remember right he supposedly raped her with that same bottle, yet didn't need to go to a Dr or hospital AT ALL after that. SMDH she's a beast she can take ANYTHING 😤........ No her lies are not obvious at all.
On the other hand JD got a record for losing part of a finger that she inflicted on him. What a devious hoaxer/liar
And arnica cream don't forget that 🤣😂😅🤣😂😅
It's astonishing to me that every discussion of this neglects the context of the outrageous and greedy blackmail/extortion letter that Heard sent to JD just before she launched her TRO hoax. Everything else followed that, and that letter makes her intentions abundantly clear: her plan was to take EVERYTHING from Johnny and live in the lap of luxury that he had worked for his entire life. Her actions pertaining to smuggling dogs into Australia demonstrate her lack of moral grounding, her willingness to manipulate others and her lack of respect for law.
It’s all over social media, it’s all out. She doesn’t have a prayer.
And that’s all she’s still fighting for. To take it all she’s so greedy and disgusting.
The divorce was not part of the Virginia trial and therefore not relevant. But, the statement made by Adam Waldman about blackmail which JD got dinged for is in the appeal. The statement was heavily redacted which gave it no context and thus the jury had to award damages to AH. But I agree it's what kicked off this whole debaucle. JD warned her and was even still willing to work with her. I'm astounded at the level of pure greed.
There was messages back and forth where Amber wanted to say Depp and lawyers kept telling her she couldn't. That was made public because they cc others making it not privileged.
Well said
Seems like the lawyers submitting the appeal knew they would not be successful but got to charge a bunch of billable hours
Like the first team? 💥 💥
I feel Johnny's side just did it to show that they aren't excepting that guilt you know what I mean? Like they HAD to at least argue it instead of rolling over
Aye but who’s paying them?
@@linzi94 Exactly! Truth be told, it costs a fortune. And it was worth it to get his life back. JD is a better person because of it. Thank goodness. 🙏🙏🙏
@Harmony Money is the reason most people never take family law issues to court. But it was another plot of AH's to drain his bank account. AH is pure evil. I hope JD sees that, learns from it, and becomes the best version of himself.
AH admitted on the stand that she was there “for an OP ED I wrote” 😂
Amber admitted in court that she clearly wrote the oped based on her allegations of abuse from Johnny.She clearly wrote it to get back at Johnny
YES she SURE did !!
She did! She even clearly answered yes when asked if she was afraid of Depp.
@@janice8514 but she still loves him too she said in her last interview
Wasn’t that one of the best moments of the trial ?
Go figure…. She went after him because he wouldn’t put up with her physical and mental abuse! She is SICK SICK SICK! He also knew all along she was cheating on him and she tried to make it look like he was crazy! I read today that she is the most hated woman in the world and I believe it!
AH uses the words "Pledge & Donation" and "Guilty & Innocent"... synonymously...
What I can’t understand in the verdict against JD is, that calling AH allegations a hoax is defamation, while it’s proven that she was indeed lying with malice, so it was a hoax
Especially with a couple of the pictures from the scene were proven to be the same but colored different or something
They didn't believe JD/Waldman defamed AH 1st and 3rd count, giving Johnny the win on those counts; did believe there was a hoax perpetrated by AH. She won on the 2nd count wherein Waldman described in much detail the hoax, jury not convinced enough evidence provided to support the details of the hoax.🙃
Read the verdict you will understand. The first one and three specifically addressing her abuse claims as a hoax and she lost them. What she won was Waldman specifically describing that she spilled wine and roughed the place with her friends before placing second call to 911. So it is not that hard
@@dima6580 But that doesn’t work, too. JD leaved (witnesses, video elevator), 1st cops (nothing found), spilled wine, 2nd cops (nothing found); AH picture destroyed place as evidence.
Even a speculation how they did it doesn’t change the fact that it was a hoax
It blows my mind that she's allowed to keep going without paying for anything she's done. No wonder she's not stopping, people let her get away with murder
Yay! Love when Christopher Melcher is here to explain the legal to us!!
He only appealled because of her appeal! He is not expecting anything, but for her to lose her apoeal! As we all are@
What’s interesting is that Amber hired these high profile new appeal lawyers but these arguments look like they’ve been written by Elaine. All the same arguments that were shot down repeatedly before and during the trial. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result,” A. Einstein.
They must've mocked Elaine's arguments thinking they could do something better and different🤡. It must be difficult trying to win the case while AH keep digging the hole deeper with her lies,and their team can't control and stop her for doing so.
JD's team must have some lies too but patience and a little bit of silence and less drama wins him the favor.
I love how all her arguments are either blaming the jury , the judge , or calling them both stupid. Nothing with actual facts.
If by some miracle, the appeal wins. It doesn't really change anything, the world knows what a horrible person Amber is. I am pretty sure most of us were aware to a point on liquor and drug use, no surprise there. Surprisingly Amber was the one drinking all the wine. Imagine you would rather be high than enjoy your life, reason your wife is abusing you and you love her dearly but she will never change. I am so happy for Johnny that he told her dirty secret and all the fear he had about what others would think was unfounded because most of us, grew up with John and never suspected any abuse by him toward anyone and we care for him even more. Amber short of a sincere apology, very little will change in a positive manner for you. John loved you but you couldn't hang just wanted his money. Shame
She could apologize until the end of time and I wouldn’t believe one word of it! 😁 She showed her true colors during the trial. I’m so glad the jury didn’t fall for her horrible acting!
If she wins jd will have to pay all the legal fees. So Johnny will be paying around 10 to 20 million at this point
@@mdb45424 not necessarily. Appeals doesnt just vacate the judgment and/or fully overturn it. Thered be a multitude of paths that could happen... including it even going thru to a Superior court. Not kust "no... she doesnt have to pay.. JD pays for everything... including legal fees"
@@HellfireHellesto if she drags it up to each court system it will take decades to procees
If she won the appeal she’d have her publicists broadcast all over the world that he is indeed what she called him. She could even get work back in Hollywood. It would indeed change things in her favor, unfortunately.
The funniest thing about this is that the girl is living in Spain even using another name but living her life like nothing happened. Sometimes I just think this whole thing was a hoax. Honestly, turd committed perjury a thousand times, the insurance company also “suing her” and she’s just picking up apples and bananas and going to the beach…. I mean reAlly?
Oh really living in Spain? How they fk can she afford that?! I'm confused ....thought she sold her house in the desert , asked her friends for help but she flew to spain??? How?
@@dbuchroeder she's hiding in Spain trying to pretend to be a local. she's using a name that is making fun ,(that's the nice way of putting it) of Johnny's heritage. she probably using the money she "donated" to pay for it or something else that I'll keep to myself
I love the picking up apples and pears and going to the beach imagery, it’s so perfect
@@dbuchroeder she made a good amount of money, millions from her movies. Millions she con Johnny from and her insurance foot her legal bills.. Fortunately, she can't hide from karma.
Her narcissism craves control and she actually believes she was in the right and should have won, which those of us who watched the whole trial knew she lied constantly, tried to abuse the jury and implied that all the expert witnesses lied, despite all the evidence. The outcome of the trial was the right one, the jury were completely fair and just and they came to the right decision. She was guilty, she was the abuser.
Continued abuse...in anyway she can
I 100% agree with you. Her constantly staring down jury members and lying to their faces despite the evidence showing that she was the abuser is a form of mental abuse towards jury members. She’s past the point of no return and can’t help but lie and abuse because it’s become her f’ed up personality.
I watched the entire trial as well and yes I agree with you💯
Yes!!! She believes her lies!!!
She defamed jd and she's continued to do it when she did the interview after her big loss. It's crazy what she gets away with and is nit held accountable for anything
Didn’t the police officer said what they saw in the apartment is not what amber said the apartment look like that
I just love Christopher!!! He’s my favorite lawyer on here! I always walk away understanding his explanations. Thank you Andy❤
I agree! He's such a class act and I adore him! He explains everything so eloquently for us commoners 😆
Same !
Agreed!
Definitely I agree too!
Christopher Melcher is a legend
Amber’s team called Adam and they kept the objections so it wouldn’t look like Adam was avoiding answering questions and Elaine knew Adam couldn’t answer those questions but she asked them anyway. She is a terrible lawyer
She emitted that she wrote the oped and said that is was about him and many other things x
@johnny depp 🤣
to be fair, as far as I can recall, Amber did not provide any evidence regarding agency with Adam Waldman. He invoked attorney client privilege every time he was asked about it, and there was no other evidence? SHE had the burden to prove it, and in my opinion, she presented no proof at all and there was no proper way the jury could've come to that conclusion based on the facts presented.
Love Mr Christopher such a smart attorney
What I love about that case, even though I wish JD didn’t have to go through it all is that may it become a great lesson for anyone who is thinking of lying about being abused and making false accusations, so that only, and only real victims of abuse will be heard. So many people have been victims and their lives destroyed because of liars like AH, making real victims of abuse questioned and too often silenced.
Wait. What failure to prove she wrote the OPed?! She admitted to writing it on the stand! She said "That's why I wrote this OPed about Johnny"! If that's failure to prove.......
I never thought this appeal was going anywhere, I think it's more about Amber trying to rescue her damaged image
During the trial Rottenborn INFERRED in his questions that Waldman was his agent and continued to do so in front of the jury. Is that not drawing a legal conclusion?
Amber lost and has no money now she wants sympathy for her errs. We're so done with her and her fakeness.
She isn’t broke or she wouldn’t be hiding in Spain. She’s a liar.
@@elizabethbaker2993 True, she's living under a different a name with that snake Eve. She's not sorry for her actions, to the contrary she's probably filled with rage and contempt. Not is she broke.
Love listening to Christopher ! Makes understanding what is going on so easy to follow !
didnt AH have to put the money in escrow in order TO Appeal??!
Johnny doesn’t want to throw Waldman under the bus. He doesn’t want to give her ammo to sue his friend.
Appreciate you bringing Chris on to help us all understand this thanks Andy👌
@johnny depp bot
Who put up the money for Amber Heard to file her appeal? I thought she had to have the full amount of the judgment available for a bond.
Thanks Christoper Melcher for your legal edification on the appeal issues.
She just won't leave him alone.
She needs to release her fangs from his neck for sure. He moves in in life, the turd needs to do the same
As many others have already stated she admitted on the stand to writing it.
Her new lawyers better be goodbecause she has admitted to everything.
So good they happy to be paid. What I don't get is how she paid the bond to appeal... Elaine said on national news amber couldn't afford the bond... so who is she blackmailing for legal fees and the bond
Elon musk her baby daddy....
I hate myself for watching these updates. It's like I don't want to and yet I can't seem to not look. Ugh.
She admitted that she wrote it about JD in trial
So shes come up with the 8 million dollar bond to be able to appeal?
she can file a summary appeal but without the bond cant actaully appeal!
She has filled for bankruptcy yet has the millions to appeal?
She is suing her lawyers for losing?
her insurance is chasing her for 15million for fees as defamation isnt covered if she lost...and she did lose...
I would be surprised if this even gets looked at...
Can you hear the clutching at straws? Can you hear the desperation as the AH ship sinks out of sight.......go back to stripping where you started....
she said in court that she wrote the op-ed
I have serious doubts that AH's list of errors was actually written by her new attorneys. They lack verbiage, organization, and specification of details that should be part of any legal filing. AH's docs sound as if they were written by another party, such as Eve B.
They're ALL pretty much the same thing. So maybe....how absolutely pathetic....
When does she post the bond for the settlement?
Thats what I want to know ! No one seems to be talking about.
Exactly!
She only has to post it to keep funds from Johnny, Johnny has paid his bond so it is tied up in the court system until the appeal is done with. Johnny could technically go after Heard for the money he is owed and have any wages or money take from Heard, did you ever wonder why she sold her home and is currently travelling the world and speaking Spanish with a Mexican accent in an effort to not be noticed? She is trying to avoid paying Johnny anything by being a "nomad" with no fixed address
@@jackwhitbread4583 I thought the posting to appeal was so if she loses the money goes to Johnny (same amount) if she wins they give it back minus court fees. So she can’t drag out not paying him and tie it up in court for years.
AH said “that’s why I wrote the op” Can she get perjury?
Judge A was spot-on in upholding the decisions of the jury. She was an awesome judge and very wise so I don't see any reason why her judgement should be overturned.
From the point Judge A actually helped Amber over several times in the court to answer questions and so on, there was no way in heck she thought Amber had a hope in hell in winning the case after the first assist. From the 1st assist, I believe if Judge A was the sole person ruling the case, she would have ruled in Depp's favour. By how much though? Who knows but most likely would have been far less than what the Jury awarded Depp only because Judges are too insanely strict and often out of touch of everyday reality of normal folks due to being TOO into the Book of Law. Hope that makes sense.
the "previous bad acts" part of Amber's appeal could be referring to the airport incident with her ex
You're right, that's very possible. In that case, I hope it gets rejected because she was the one who opened the door on that one by bringing up Johnny's past partners.
Angelina knew how much that winery meant to Brad. It was a knife in the back!!
She's a pycho b!tch that's not relevant anymore. I can't stand my daughter's father. I refuse to bad talk him or keep him away from her. He made his mistakes on his own. Which my daughter saw without me pointing them out to her. Angelina's mothering is the opposite of mine. She's is over controlling, manipulative to her children regarding Brad their father. It only hurts the children.
She’s committing social and professional suicide in the popularity stakes , it seems she’s oblivious to the clear support for JD , she simply isn’t believable or likeable. Obviously she likes the court limelight or why do this , just lining the pockets of various legal teams .
Cause for now it ain’t coming out of her pocket.
If only she would really leave this earth the world would be a better place and her kid wouldn't have the huge disadvantage it has now.
@@kasualbeauty309 Maybe she has the money coming out of Elon Musks pocket or JD's money she stole from him during the marriage. Obviously all speculation! I wouldn't be surprised though!
She doesn't have the money to pay Johnny Depp. She needs to stall, or have the verdict overturned. She doesn't have the money.
I recall Ben Rottenborn, in his closing argument, twisting what "malice" means.
I watched The case and I remember distinctly Amber heard saying she wants to be left alone and live her life. The same goes for Johnny Depp. During the trial she kept bringing in his children in which he wanted to protect along with Vanessa. This seems so bogus, and Johnny finally looks like Johnny again. He is leaving her alone there are no articles in which he involves her, and he’s living his best life right now. The people (jurors ect) And in this case Johnny finally got to tell the whole world his story. I walk in this morning reading all this BS about going back to court. Can’t she just go on with her life like he is doing with his life! This is ridiculous
Every humiliating thing she could say about him she went there! That is why she is so vile!
yes is no you have recently seen the photos at the exit of a concert in a few days it has metamorphosed it is inflated edenté it is very clear that it has fallen back into its ways it hurts me too much I love it very much but it gives me the impression of self-destruction
@@enya978 I haven’t seen those videos however his schedule being on tour . Rehearsals, interviews, Meet and Greet ect and that is just a few thing’s he’s doing. Let alone crowds of people waiting for autographs. It is exhausting being on Tour let alone the trial. I hope he takes some time out away from the limelight and has time for himself . He won’t because he’s not a selfish person . You have to read between the lines he’s not 20 anymore but he puts a guitar 🎸 and a mic 🎙 that’s his therapy!
@@loriannberti674 I hope with all my heart it is not to be condescending about him on the contrary I love him very much and it breaks my heart to see him like this but indeed you are right the music has always been his therapy I hope to see him again soon in better dispositions go Johnny go
@@enya978 Just over the last few days there’s been so many news media articles regarding an appeal. Between what I just said as far as his schedule he has that loaded on his mind as well. I wish him peace, his family peace and we continue to recover from everything he’s been through. His story was told I often say that in my posts because my brothers story was never told and he had taken his life. I thought I was a big fan which I am but I learned a lot more about him during the trial. I understand what you’re saying thanks for sharing
Christopher is so good at breaking things down so that someone like me can understand all the legal gobbledegoop ... great show 👍
Johnny is appealing because AH appealed. He wants this mess over with!
Like Brown-Rudnick said, they really had no desire to appeal except that Heard's team DID so they are appealing just so the appellate judges get ALL the information.
the lawyer was amazing loved hearing his legal perspective
wonder why AH didn't sue Adam Waldman for what he said, instead she sued Johnny for what Adam Waldman said..
Case was filed in Virginia because Washington Post published Op-Ed in Virginia & publishes in Virginia. Filing is legal. UK trial was a libel suit versus The Sun and it's owners, and legally is a separate lawsuit from defamation suit vs Heard. Heard claims she only stated her opinion in the Op-Ed, but Depp proved she not only is liar, but also got Heard to admit 2x that she wrote the Op-Ed with JD in mind & that she wrote it with malice intended. It's quite obvious she's using delaying tactics given the amount of legal fees and judgments that she's required to pay
Thanks Andy & Mr Melcher 👍👍👍👍👍
Did she write the appeal herself🤣😂
🤣😍😍
Probably Barlow wrote it.
@@hawkeyescoffee6399 🤣
@@hawkeyescoffee6399 haha wouldn’t be surprised🤣
😂😂
I think both appeals failing is the best outcome. Amber obviously doesn't deserve to win on appeal and right now is the best time to finally put this case to rest. His voice was heard, he got the truth out and is living his life happily. Dragging it out for another few years only serves her, not him, at this point. Once the appeals are done, we can finally forget about her ever existing, which will be her biggest punishment.
Nah, JD deserves to have his appeal go through. He wasn't responsible for Adam Waldmans statements, he shouldn't have to pay.
I am tired of people giving people a pass for a bad childhood when they do wrong everybody has a choice to do a good or to do bad
She just wants to overrule the ruleing so she doesn't have to pay the $8 Million. Lazy.
I'd say she's way more vindictive than lazy.
Thank you both for a very clear explanation of the points in these documents!
I thought she couldn't appeal until she paid Johnny the money
One word: SLANDER.
"Slander is communicated verbally with the intent to defame the subject of the statements. Put simply, slander is a legal term used to describe defamation or the act of harming a person or business's reputation by telling one or more people something that is untrue and damaging about them."
Two words: MEDIA LAW.
He can sue her again.
@@elizabethbaker2993 Why? She won't pay him.
@@harmony9844 wait and see.
JD and Waldman are very tight and go way back. They're good friends and JD
may have decided to take the hit, if that's how it played out, rather than
blame Waldman , which he'd have to do in court to defend his position. Had he done
that AH could then sue Waldman for defamation. JD wouldn't put a good friend thru that and may have decided to take the hit if that's how it played out. It wouldn't surprise me at all considering JD's beautiful heart and incredible generosity. And for all we know,
Waldman is compensating him with legal services etc.
From what I understand, Johnny and Adam are friends, and knowing what we do about Johnny, he doesn't throw people under the bus, even AH got off lightly if you ask me, she had her own words reflected back at her for her to explain, but not her constant drug use and abuse, etc., she was left to shoot herself in the foot. Over three decades and he hasn't shown himself to act in malice, especially not to the man who fought for him, defended him, open investigations on his behalf, which as a lawyer I can't imagine he would do if he thought the evidence he had wasn't real.
I can't remember who's channel I saw this on (TUG, andys someone else? ) but apparently waldman had a statement from Josh drew saying exactly what waldman stated. That it was all a hoax etc. Supposedly waldman sent that information in an email to Johnny's lawyers, specifically Camille. I would think that if his team had a slam dunk statement like that they'd use it so idk...maybe that information/ email, etc was bull or maybe there's a reason they decided not to use it 🤔 🤷♀️
@@mrsangelafisher I think it would be kicked out as hearsay
I love Johnny, he's the best💥😉
@@dima6580 especially when it's 3rd party, or more!...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
Did she mention JD in her social post that later was taken down, when she retweeted the op-ed?
The bank will have a lot of shareholders and investors who may be deeply offended and want to cut ties with the bank costing millions.
Why wasn’t the extortion letter read out while the trial was on going
Amber admitted in court it was about Johnny.
I thought if she wanted to appeal that she had to pay up BEFORE. What happened to that?
This is the best video I've seen breaking this down. Thanks guys!
Question. Who in their right mind would want to represent a case that is obviously going to lose? She continously contradicted her testimonies while on the stand. It was unmistakable.
Always great to hear Mr Melcher’s insight!
I think the redaction thing is very relevant, because it redacted the fact that Ambers Lawyers also commented in the same article, it added context to what Adam Waldman said, and how he was reacting to what her lawyers said first. Might have opened things up to allow JD to put AH's lawyers on the stand too. Of course they would claim client attorney confidentiality, but it would have neutralised the fact that Adam used it when questioned. I think the Jury would have thrown her counterclaim out had they had all the facts.
I really like them talking through different perspectives!
*Let me breakdown the bakery and cake situation,* because I very much followed the case..the bakery won through the Supreme Court..the owner was a Christian that didn't do gay wedding cakes, anything with Halloween, hateful messages referencing the WW2 "guy", and a few other reasons tied to his belief system..he NEVER said he wouldn't serve anyone in the LGBTQ community..he has no problem with bday cakes or anything else, tied to that specific community..even people that protested outside his business he brought out fresh cookies to give them..he's a very sweet, elderly gentleman that has a right to his faith..would it be okay to make a Jewish bakery put anything praising the WW2 "guy"? Would it be okay to force a gay bakery to put a hateful message about the LGBTQ on a cake? In fact there are recordings on social media of people calling gay owned bakeries to do that..and every time those bakeries cursed at the caller or flat out refused, then hung up..no one pressed charges against those bakeries, it was done to make a point..some people are being given preferential treatment, while not held to the same standard they demand..a Christian owned bakery, a Jewish owned bakery and an LGBTQ owned bakery should have the right to say no when it comes to their beliefs..and I don't like what Kanye has said or been doing, but as Steph said, it's a slippery slope..when you're a government backed entity that wants to play "the moral police", then it stands to reason how they must scrutinize EVERY SINGLE customer..when you are a part of a government entity, that does open the door of discrimination when it's only concerning freedom of speech..the government doesn't have a right to refuse service BECAUSE of not supporting someone's freedom of speech..again, I do NOT condone Kanye's words..he was flat out wrong..but for a bank to proclaim the moral high ground, then that starts the domino effect of complete overreach..I honestly think the bank did it for political and social brownie points..banks are different than regular businesses..the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent government agency in charge of banking..this is not the case with regular businesses 😕
but in "that opinion," she referred to him and their marriage as an example!
So excellent show. I’ve watched a few LawTubers regarding the appeal. This was the first that I actually understand what each item is, means, and merits. I agree with Christopher that JD’s team file filed appeal to protect the process. I believe even if JD might not have said quotes to Waldman under attorney-client privledge, he wouldn’t throw Waldman under the bus to deny. I also think that the statement that friends helped AH stage the scene for police might not have sufficiently proven that the friends helped, not that it wasn’t staged. I’m sure if courts had been able to get AH legitimate phone & computer history, there would have shit-ton of evidence to prove friends were totally involved.
Amber's better an actor in the court room than in a movie..
I'm surprised that no one called out Amber for sniffing cocaine right there on the witness stand, she was so obviously doing that almost the whole time.
You can’t have it both ways you can be friends with someone and still condemn their bad behavior
Thanks very much for this suberb summary of current proceeding in this fascinating matter. Great questions from host and clear clean answers from the brilliant legal operative Christopher. Your audience really appreciates these updates on the trial of the century.
Andy and Chris thanks again for sharing these and explaining it alll and keeping us updated and posted. Mm
I had an appointment so had to go back to replay..
So much sad news this week yes!!! 💛😭💛
IF Angelina truly feels alcohol destroyed the family then she may have wanted Brad out of the wine business completely. That would make sense, kind of a "I won't enable you by letting you have my half"
I was thinking that too.
Then why pair him with the owner of a vodka company.
Christopher Melchin I cannot thank you for all the time you spent explaining to us so simply each point. AH is such a fool and he just cannot move forward in his life. 8 years since the divorce! I watched that trial and not once did I believe her lies. I don't think any appellate court will side with her. No one deserves ruination than she. Judge Penny made certain that she would never get an appeal. She was awesome.
It sounded to me from Kate James that AH got in her face so that spit got on her face, not that she spit on her.
Johnny is making films and concerts while she is holding a baby "on her own terms" in Spain... Appeals seem more than ever a waste of time for everyone.
Thanks Andy, Christopher's input is so helpful here. My question is why are her lawyers advising her to this if its
to do this when it's so weak?
The reason? $$$$$ & profile… even if they lose they win in terms of those elements alone…
She's probably driving the train and won't listen to her lawyer, she thinks she's smarter
I wish it were more clearly stated that Waldman made those statements WITHOUT MALICE because he had a whole ass BINDER of evidence against Amber proving it was a hoax. He had valid reasons to believe she was lying and it WAS a hoax. Therefore it was NOT made with malice and he had every right to say what he said. I said what I said! lol I know the appeal won't be granted but dang it would be amazing if he won and didn't have to pay her a dime. She did this to herself. That's why I don't feel bad for her in the slightest. She tried to ruin an innocent man and take his hard earned money. She really thought she would get away with it. It's infuriating!!
Explained really well 👏 thank you Christopher as uk rules are different from the UK 🇬🇧 its interesting to hear how things are in a America Court 🇺🇸 😀
People really need to understand the nature of women with borderline personality disorder. These individuals are a blend of narcissists and psycho/sociopaths. What they express and tell you, makes them appear to be morally grounded, honest people just trying to move on, but rest assured their actions never come close to matching. They sadistically extract pleasure from dragging and slandering the name of their partners. The higher people think of their partners (brad and Johnny) the better their mental victory is by being able to trouble and ruin their lives. These people will stop at absolutely nothing. No amount of contracts or “speaking clearly” works with these types. People are just playing into their game and yet the public thinks they are handling it correctly.
Yep, I believe Amber was out from the get go to get whatever she could from JD . She is the poster child for a gold-digger .
BPD isn't the cause of someone being a shitty person. I must say your comment felt a bit hurtful. Though I know who I am and how I function and though I am aware living with people who have bpd can be rather difficult . These type of stereotypes sobly add to the stigma. I have bpd. But I am none of those things. And I know people with bpd and they are none of those things. If anything I project all the abuse onto myself and its an ongoing battle . So please make sure not to ge generalize . We are not all violent and out for vengeance and viscious and self serving and manipulators. Some of us just try to take it one day at a time and it is extremely draining , sure I have had my moments with the fear of abondement and the harsh reactions but I try to be mindful and always double check my reactions if they are valid and always always apologize if I am out of line . I try to revise my actions every moment of every day as to not hurt my loved ones I try to communicate and be honest and forward while keeping in mind not everything I'm feeling is real and true . Sometimes it can be wrong and just my mind playing tricks on me and that the reality is another thing . There's a lot of self work and reflection and tiptoing around the illness always in fear of hurting others and or yourself. So please be mindful of how you spread information. You have no idea how difficult it is to live with illness and people like amber heard and criminals plus the media only adds to people's fear of seeing us as decent people . Some of us are decent people we're not all amber heards and American psychos . 🤍🤍🤍🤍✌✌✌
I agree with most of what you say, but it's a bit more simple. As a midrange narcissist everything is done below the level of consciousness in the here and now. They think they can control even the law if it provides them with the aims to apease their narcissism. It is all about control. There could possibly be sociopathetic tendencies here, but it's difficult to determine and requires evidence. Narcissists see the world differently and as far as they are concerned should have won the case and have done nothing wrong.
@@romaalgea9532 Well said✌
Lmao, leave it to a borderline to come and push the BS “not all with BPD are abusive”…:yes they are. Lol. Most often, they simply cry first and loudest, and have been hinting at and turning everyone against their partner during the entirety of the relationship that most don’t believe the partner and find it easy to believe the borderline. You would never tell a partner of a narcissist, histrionic, or antisocial that the cluster B individual isn’t going to drain them of time, energy, life, bc by their very nature, they are abusive and extremely manipulative and lack empathy so they will always choose to sabotage their partners, put all blame on their partners, build themselves up and always try to paint themselves as the victim or the good person….look at the objective evidence and not their meaningless words and you will see their partners health and life, education, profession, relationships, always go down the drain and the overly dramatic borderline is more or less the same or in a better position than they began, all the while crying as eternal victims. If a narcissist said not all narcs are bad, you would be either naive or just dumb to believe it….same with an antisocial (psycho/sociopath)…..what on earth would make anybody think a borderline isn’t going to abuse them if given the opportunity. Quit spreading misinformation you goof.
Keep in mind, I think Johnny filed for appeal just because she did, for some good reason.
Well filing for appeal is a normal step in the American justice system, and he did get a 2 million dollar charge against him. So I don't blame him for trying to get that thrown out.
Yes apparently he had to to be able to present his evidence again
I’ve actually forgotten about AH. I wish she’d stay forgotten.
Christopher love how you going through and so transparent you are love your work , you are one of the lawyers I love to follow 🤩🤩🤩
It really helps to have a lawyer break down the legal terms and explain them…
Maybe Johnny's team didn't do much about Waldman because Johnny told them be did know about the statement and did okay it. They can't put him on the stand if they know he's lying. Right?
What a great post. The way you explained it was so easy to understand. Thank
