Amber didn't have a choice in this. She obviously knew how damaging it would be. And since he has no chance at winning on the merits, that makes it clear he's bankrupting himself to humiliate her. |
Not the segment I watched. He was, saying, um, ah, um, ah, no, well, quiet mumbling tone too. You would think a guy that has a voice of Jack Sparrow, could speak up for a second. No, this is not the same exact version of the op ed I read.I readthe one online and it did not look like this. Are you aware that you are suing her for thing that happened after this article, not for anything before? Um, well, it is all in.....um, um, um... The only coherent thing he said was that it is clear to all that can deduct that it is about him. And this is my summary even of that sentence. |
Right? I mean, I can't hear or distinguish of word he says. Even when I put CC on cc algorithm has no clue how to cope. |
But he does have a chance, as the judge didn't rule to dismiss the case. It's up to the jury. Juries can be unpredictable, and we don't know who's on there. |
He has no chance on the merits. You are correct that juries can be unpredictable, but he will not win this on the merits of a defamation suit tied to an op ed that did not name him. |
Yep, nd it did not help the JD showed evidence that she tried to blackmail him to not get a restraining order if he gave her three penthouse apartments and a SUV. |
That has nothing to do with the merits of the case, thank you for proving me right. |
Didn't the ACLU guy testify that the piece was about JD and everyone knew it was about AH and JD's marriage. I think the jury can extrapolate that it was JD. |

Meh. This whole thing reeks of not believing the woman. Look, is she crazy? Yes. Is he? Yes. Were they both abusive? YES.
But somehow here, and other places, it is Amber bearing the brunt of the criticism, the name-calling, etc. I find this very "interesting." They both suck. And deserve each other. And neither deserves a single cent from one another. They need to slither off to their respective corners. And I say this as a former HUUUUUGE Johnny Depp fan. |
I did not prove anything. It is a culmination of all the evidence, her blackmail included. The entire premise of the case is that AH lied about the abuse. Blackmailing to not claim abuse goes to her credibility. |
Yep. It's really sad to see. |
No evidence, at this time that he hit her. So no they are not the same. |
Standard to prove defamation:
To prove 1 you need to prove that she herself did not believe she was in an abusive relationship when she wrote that article. And the article did not name him, so you are trying to say that she lied in saying she was in an abusive relationship. This bar is NOT met by JD. 2) This is met by publication in WAPO BUT is irrelevant if you have not proved #1 3/4) You have to prove that she has caused him injury via the op-ed. She may have caused him injury in many OTHER formats, but that op-ed did not cause the injury. Arguably, if you believe his side (and I frankly do not), the actual thing she did that damaged his career is contribute to his hand injury. That set back the production of Pirates 4 by a month and cost disney a crap ton of money and officially made him not just chronically late and occasionally unreliable, but a straight up liability. But that is not what he is suing her for, he's suing her for an op-ed published after their divorce and after the toxicity of their relationship and his substance abuse problems were WELL reported on. The problem with claiming the op-ed caused in injury is that so much injury was caused before. So the only piece he has in the bag is #2. He does not have 1/3/4 when you consider the fact that what this actual legal case orbits around is the op-ed, not all this extra information they are presenting. |
Right, but she defamed him in a very public way. He didnt't do that to her. It's quite cut and dry, really. |
Wrong. The op-ed was damaging. She didn't believe it and knew clearly that the implication was that she was talking about Depp. They'll prove it. |
