His career was already destroyed. |

NOPE. It wasn't. This tarnished him entirely in the #metoo era. |

| Actually, I think he has established damages from the Op Ed. I think the question will be whether or not what "she" (actually the ACLU, it turns out) wrote was true, as truth is a defense to defamation. |

The bit about the ACLU writing the op-ed seems somewhat of a red herring. They wrote the first draft, not what was published. And even if they wrote the entire thing as is - she still signed her name to it and represented it as her words. I don’t understand why her lawyers are trying to make the point that the ACLU did it. |

| Op-eds are ghost written all time; most are probably ghost written. All go through extensive internal and external editing. If you sign your name to it, it's YOUR op-ed. |

She signed her name to it so it’s hers. |

That’s why her lawyers make no sense. Don’t argue it’s not your clients piece when they signed their name to it |

Not facetiously, as I have not listened to the testimony, how has he established damages directly from the op-ed (vs, contemperaneous reporting of their relationship and issues on pirates set?) |

She signed it as truthful and about her. She can’t put that off on a team of writers. If they acted without her agreement she should have said so. Somewhere. Publicly privately somewhere. But she didn’t. |

| Premature but I think Depp will win this. Or they will settle. |

He has already won regardless of the outcome of the case. He knows this. His lawyers know this. He comes out of this trial looking like the victim and it turns the court of public opinion which in turn will help his career. |

Yes, I do hope this is how it turns out. He still needs to deal with his addiction if he wants any future. |

He’s not going to win. And she won’t settle because she’s broke. She wrote an op-Ed saying he was abusive. With the texts about killing her and the testimony of their shared marriage therapist it seems that at the very least there’s enough there to show some amount of emotional abuse (unless in the op Ed she said it’s physical). I think Amber was MORE abusive but that doesn’t show that her implying he was abusive isn’t the truth. |

I actually think k this does nothing to help him with the studios. I don't think he looks good at all. To me, pursuing a clear losing case is a sign of abusive behavior. It's all about punishing her. |
