Johnny Depp Vs. Amber Heard

    UK Media defending the British court system 'How could Depp win in the US and Heard in the UK'. Apparently the Jury system is easier to fool, and the UK judge (no Jury) didn't allow Depp as much leeway in questioning.

    So, Jury systems not good apparently.

    A lot of reports that Heard is getting completely cut from Aquaman 2. Nothing official yet but wouldn't surprise me if its confirmed soon.

    Well, there is a petition right now that's currently sitting at 4.5 million to get her removed from the movie. I'd imagine WB looked at that, and at the trial, and thought... 'Between Miller in The Flash, and now Heard...we're gonna have to try and do some damage control. And since Miller is the lead in The Flash, we can't cut him out of the movie'... with Heard, they can do reshoots to give a reason as to why she's not in the film. Or even simple ADR (Additional Dialogue recordings).

    Jason Mamoa celebrated Depp's win, so that sort of tells you Heard was... easily cut.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭jj880


    Inside the first minute of this interview Heard states she "stands by every word of her testimony until her dieing day."

    Her latest fantasy is the jury were conned by Depp into their verdict.

    I think she needs some kind of intervention to be honest. Completely detached from reality.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Looking at her and listening to her in that video… her mannerisms, intonations… it’s like she’s actually acting…like she’s playing part, a character ..

    she’s a liar… she’s actually disturbed…. Playing the mental health card… she’s dreadful..

    Contradicting herself in the interview….



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭jj880


    Its incredible to see someone like this still being given a platform. It must be a fascination with sociopaths giving big ratings at this stage. Im including myself in that. Im definitely not watching to hear a balanced view from her on anything. That ship has sailed long ago.



  • Posts: 8,385 [Deleted User]


    The amount of platform which see is getting, even after that trial displayed exactly what she is like, really drives home that I was correct in keeping my mouth shut when I was in an abusive relationship.

    I would have been crucified if I came forward and she denied (and threw an accusation back)

    I don't get the link between Killing Joke and this case, but anything Jaz Coleman related is always welcome.

    there's a clip of johnny arriving at court and he opens the SUV door and killing joke is blarrrring loud! the song was "death and resurrection show" and that was also the song johnny covered in London with Jeff beck while amber was in the US waiting for the verdict!

    nice to hear them covered but two guitarists combined cannot come close to the sound of Geordie Walker!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,376 ✭✭✭RabbleRouser2k


    The media bet heavy on the narrative, and lost.

    This #MeToo and #TimesUp narrative is toxic. Actually, it reminds me very similarly of the 'Trump vs Hillary' narrative. Hillary was gonna be the FIRST female president of the US. Didn't matter that she wasn't supported at her own events. Didn't matter that more people campaigned for John Kerry (who lost) than did her... nope, she was gonna win, DAMMIT!.

    And then she lost. And went on a 4 year 'loser' tour.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    The hashtags metoo timesup is a bullying narrative… it encourages the ‘words’ of people to be believed over facts and evidence….it encourages pointing of fingers and accusations ahead facts and truth…it encourages the destruction of character over due process, credible evidence and justice..

    One thing I noted from watching parts of the trial, Chew, Vasquez and Depp himself when they reacted to what Heard was saying.….it was with disbelief, wonder and loathing and occasionally hilarity and bewilderment…whatever about Depp but I don’t think Chew and Vasquez are quite of the actual acting caliber to hoodwink the universe.

    one of the main things that me*oo advocate is for people to publicise their experiences of abuse or harassment…

    personally I’d be more inclined to knock on the door of a police/Garda station and make a complaint then go on Twitter or tv……amber heard called police, refused to make a complaint and when examined not one shred of damage, bruising or injury was found…no evidence that Depp assaulted her at all…

    given the huge numbers of supporters for Depp.. from the industry which he is of… respected actors like…Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, Eva Green…even his ex Vanessa Parradis…. With nothing negative that Ambers team could present…. surely one person was mistreated by JD ? No ?

    during the trial when questioned Depp looked straight ahead, listened, answered and stayed quiet

    Amber.. smirked, often tried to look at and address the jury directly with her answer which she was admonished for on countless occasions by the judge and Camille Vasquez… I’m no legal expert but I’d have been tempted to admonish her with a contempt charge from the bench…it was obviously an attempt to influence and sway as your natural instinct is to look at whomever is talking to / with you….as opposed to a consistently silent and static audience of observers…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭jj880


    Using truth to power is bad enough but then when asked about Vasquez stating Heard's testimony was the performance of a lifetime she replies "Says the lawyer for the man who convinced the world he had scissors for fingers" 😆😆😆

    Im speechless. Where do you start with that? She needs to move on. Its embarrassing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,376 ✭✭✭RabbleRouser2k


    I said it before, but it needs repeating - if #believeAllWomen or #IbelieverHer had been around when Emmett Till was murdered, would they still be bleating the same message? I mean, it was a woman who accused him of whistling at her?

    These hashtags completely ignores the rule of law. Innocent until proven guilty. We've seen high profile cases of vindictive men and women making up allegations as some form of 'grudge' against an individual.

    Just look at the case of Nora Wall, a nun who was accused of abuse, by a woman who even had a 'witness'. Turns out, the whole story was fabricated. Didn't stop Paul Williams coming out with a 'scoop' about how Ms Wall had provided children to paedophile priest Brendan Smyth. (This story proved to be completely fabricated).

    Ms Wall eventually sued the state for a miscarriage of justice. Sued the Sunday World too, for the Williams article. They printed an apology letter, but you'd probably have needed a magnifying glass to see it.

    Fair play to this interviewer - she did ask some good questions. Here we have the donate / pledge conflation.

    Heard eventually when pushed basically says "It wasnt my fault - I shouldnt have had to actually donate the money in order to prove I donated it in court". Unreal. How do you deal with a person like this on a daily basis? It must be soul draining.

    Her lawyer's apparently cried before the verdict. I think, when they signed on to the case, they thought it was a slam dunk, no problem win, and they were gonna coin heavily. Amber was the victim, right?




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,330 ✭✭✭combat14


    Amber Heard shows TV interviewer ‘binder’ of notes she says record physical abuse by Johnny Depp

    she just doesn't stop...... appeal it in court or , shut up/put up..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭jj880


    Squeezing the last few shillings out of the frenzy around the court case. I would say Depp should sue her again but all it would do is give her more airtime. Im hoping the public get bored with this alternate reality nonsense soon and we dont see any more of these sickening interviews. She has nothing new to say now except more pathetic attempts to blame everything and everyone except herself. Its getting played out.

    the only way to stop her is to make her pay out the money she owes after that jail if she persists..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭jj880


    Thats what should happen but if shes taken back to court I think it would be a combination of bankruptcy and everyone bombarded with further endless gurning from Heard in the media. I cant see her getting jail.





  • Im not sure why she created all these rumours when divorcing, she could of just divorced amicably and got the money anyway, she destroyed his career in the process.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,376 ✭✭✭RabbleRouser2k


    Narcissism, plain and simple. She's the victim, no matter what. Hearing how she concocted her 'abuse' story while Depp was caring for his dying mother tells you all you need to know about her.

    She's messed up her career, and she knows she's done.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Can she not be sued again for this ? Nutsville. As JJ880 says it’s probably for money… those broadcasters are not stupid… xx grand an interview…. And she probably reckons she can get a few bob to cushion her losses, extract some sympathy, whatever…and that Depp will probably just let it slide.

    a binder of notes ? On TV claiming a showing of notes, is proof ? It wasn’t admitted in court as credible evidence so the fûck is she doing with it on TV expecting people to be swayed by it ?

    she comes across as a complete ghoul.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,376 ✭✭✭RabbleRouser2k


    Yep. She can be sued for this. She's making many defamatory statements on live TV. She can't claim it was an edit, or taken out of context. It's right there.

    If Depp had lost this case he'd be cancelled. End of story. No interviews for him.



  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 7,415 Mod ✭✭✭✭pleasant Co.


    To be fair to Heard, she's doing a good job of rehabilitating his career by showing the world just how bats she really and truly is.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭jj880


    "Amber considers her career in Hollywood over. She’s already in talks and is excited about it. At this point, she has nothing to lose and wants to tell all," a source said.

    ffs.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,859 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    What is left to be revealed by or about her


    At least Christian Dior stood behind Depp, still fronting Sauvage



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭jj880


    Its getting out of hand. She is being enabled by the media and whoever is paying for these interviews / tell alls.

    Saying shes afraid of being silenced is crazy because she actually needs silenced. Its damaging to legit victims the more she repeats her lies. There is no evidence! A folder of notes means nothing! Where are her family in all this? She needs signed in.

    Her lawyers are now asking for the verdict to be set aside or a retrial. Basically their argument is "the trial wasn't fair". Dear me.

    I watched a good commentary on the whole Depp Heard "relationship". It was a woman who maintains Heard is 100% a lesbian. No interest in men other than to use them for career advancement and money. So she saw Depp as a big fish. Someone she could score a big divorce settlement out of and then be done with men altogether. Only Depp didn't cave to her demands so she decided to destroy him. Its an interesting theory. Who knows.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭jj880


    Amber Heard has outlined several grounds on which she intends to appeal the trial verdict that found her guilty of defaming ex-husband Johnny Depp.


    On Tuesday (11 October), attorneys for the Aquaman star filed an appellate brief to the Court of Appeals in Virginia, detailing 16 grounds for appeal, including a claim that the case should have been dismissed as it shouldn’t have taken place in northern Virginia.

    Amber Heard gains support from over 130 organizations in the field of women’s rights advocacy and domestic violence and sexual assault awareness in new open letter.


    The letter condemned the public shaming of the actress during and after her defamation trial with Johnny Depp.

  • Registered Users Posts: 13,275 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    Amazing that she found 130 organisations to basically condone what they are supposed to be against by backing her.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,376 ✭✭✭RabbleRouser2k


    Probably guaranteed a donation...


    Good luck with that, she 'pledged' money to many organizations never donated tho.



  • Registered Users Posts: 13,275 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    Nothing like a bit of publicity to bring out the crackpots in fairness. No sane person could have looked at that trial and thought she was anything other than bat shït crazy.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,376 ✭✭✭RabbleRouser2k


    Truth is stranger than fiction, because fiction has to make sense.

    We saw all the crackpots in Heard's corner - I mean, many of her witnesses had pre-recorded testimonies, on account of them no longer being friends with Heard. One of them stopped being her friend after Heard hit her.

    But look at it this way- Rihanna is a confirmed survivor of DV. Well documented, well known.

    Depp is going to be a part of her new Fenty show. If Depp were the assaulter, no bloody way she'd ask him to be in the show.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭jj880


    Amber Heard countersues her insurer and says it DOES have to cover the $8.3 million she owes Johnny Depp after being found liable in blockbuster defamation trial

    Shes some craic. Now reckons she has lies and perjury insurance.

    Edit: Could there even be such a thing as insurance against losing a defamation case? It sounds absolutely ridiculous. Take out some defamation insurance and say whatever you like about anyone. Shes a looper.

    That bombshell slipped under the radar for me. Very interesting end to what was a somewhat subdue trial.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭jj880


    Im reading that her insurance company is paying the 1 million dollars also. Depp donating (not pledging) it to charity. That statement she put out is as deluded as ever. At least now everyone has seen what a headcase she is and should steer clear of her.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,376 ✭✭✭RabbleRouser2k


    Also, if she says anything that messes up the NDA, she'll have to pay the full amount. Essentially, she has to keep her mouth shut, which must be infuriating for her, honestly.

    She's played the victim so often, you can imagine how mad this will make her.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭jj880


    It's an amazing insurance precedent to set also. I'd like to see details of that policy covering defamation compensation. Crazy stuff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭jj880


    Out tomorrow.

    Edit: Looks like only available in the US.

    A very odd documentary- didn't speak to either Depp or Heard.

    So what's the point?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭jj880


    Very shoddy indeed. Looks like Netflix throwing together a gogglebox type show. Commentary coming from various z lister reaction vids gathered up and mashed into the court footage. Also tries to hype up the show implying there may be some other truth we didn't see. As far as I saw Heard lied her face off trying to extort money and properties from Depp telling him no-one would believe that she was abusing him. I believe in the end Depp let her off with a 1 million dollar payment which he donated (not pledged) to charity.

    Apparently might be out here tomorrow. I'll watch 1 ep just to see what its like but wont be expecting much.
