Look at the way he talked about her. Look at the way he tried to control her. Did you hear how he behaved about her doing sex scenes? Seeing a sex scene of her in a movie where it was actually a body double and going completely nuts? wtf?

But somehow you look at that as all right and she is the villain?

She could have gotten $32 million in the divorce settlement and she took just $7 and pledged it to charity, and you guys are still mad because she has only herself paid about $1M of that so far? Even though it's a greater tax write off if she pays it over time, and now she herself is getting sued for $50 mil?

Oh but he played a funny pirate in a movie series though. And he's funny and sort of handsome. And she is not an angel, so your sympathies are with him. You guys are the worst.

Women like you are the worst. I think it's been pretty unanimous here that based on the evidence (facts) both were abusers to each other. People like you, that side with the female because she's a female, do nothing for the female right's movement and protecting victims of domestic violence. She doesn't get a free pass because she's a woman.

wow. Her slapping him a few times is not the same thing as him raping her with a bottle, or doing a crevice search for his cocaine because he was jonesing for a hit, or destroying property around her in a wake of violence.

Moreover, her op ed doesn't claim anywhere that she never slapped him. She doesn't need to prove that she never slapped him. He sued her for defamation, which means he needs to prove that she lied about being abused. So he needs to prove he didn't abuse her, and I don't think he's doing that. He seems to have been very abusive, JMHO.

NP. The bolded is not believable. She said she was bleeding, damaged and sore, yet she did not seek medical attention. That is just not believable. She would have sought medical attention if for no other reason but to make sure severe damage did not occur as a result of the bottle. Was it a glass bottle? Was the bottle chipped and she was cut? Questions that have not be answered, but if I was on a jury this is the one thing I would question. She didn't even bother to get a check-up with her private OB-GYN. Nope, not believable

Not sure you've ever been raped by a significant other. What do you think she's going to do, go to an emergency room? Getting an appointment with your gynecologist usually schedules out about a month in advance. She could do this if she wanted to go to an emergency room, or maybe if she wanted to go to a clinic. Otherwise it's going to be a hassle, and moreover she's probably going to have to answer some questions.

The description of "bleeding, damaged, and sore" could indicate varying degrees of injury. It may not be something an emergency room is required for. Some women get this from regular sex without enough lube. The point here is that it was not consensual and it hurt her. I don't think anyone suggested it was a broken bottle.

And if she HAD gone to the doctor, and had the injuries documented, for some of you it would still not be enough proof of non consensual sex, or that it was done by JD. It's a total catch 22 for women. The reactions from Depp supporters is so nuts to me.

Isn't it then a Catch 22 for men, as well? An accusation is made and the woman MUST be believed regardless of how little evidence is presented to support her claim. The only "proof" AH has of this event is that she says it occurred. I'm no fan of JD's at all. I think he's pretty gross. But I'm also a fair minded person, and tried to be open minded from the beginning. I tend to go for the underdog in a situation like this, and thought I would find myself behind AH. But watching the testimony, nothing adds up to me. I'm sorry, in a court of law, you can't just make accusations and expect them to be taken as truth simply because a woman made the accusation against a man. If she rolled into court with photos of a broken nose or police reports of DV, or an actual medical report from seeking medical attention, I'd be saying the opposite. But no, her claims just don't seem believable to me.

Her claims don’t seem believable to me either and I want to support women but not her, not in this situation. She’s not credible.

Hard agree. This has been freaking me out also. Thanks for saying this!

Absolutely agree. And so many fronting like Johnny’s avenging angels wtf? It’s clear he was/is an alcoholic and an addict who was prone to violent rages and who behaved beyond unprofessionally on set until Disney couldn’t take it anymore. I personally think the truth lies somewhere in the middle of these two unlikable people, and cannot believe so many believe Johnny is some kind of an angelic victim. It’s sick.

I don’t think he’s an angel.

But I do think he lost prior cases because it all seemed to happen at the height of the Me, Too movement and the court of public opinion colored the jury’s reasoning.

I find it interesting that so many people are defending him now. That didn’t happen back then…probably because people felt like they couldn’t risk their own neck/celebrity at that time. The social media posse would have crushed them.

I think it’s obvious she zeroed in on him because he was an easy mark. She went into this marriage with an exit strategy: destroy his image so she could retain Hollywood’s support after the divorce.

Being a drunk who slams cabinets and says crazy stuff isn’t DV. Sorry, but it’s not. She made the world believe he was an abuser. He’s a drunk a-hole, not a wife beater.

His case was weak and that’s why he lost. It has nothing to do with me too. Same reason why he should lose this one.

Plus it's classic narcissist to just up the ante. Why just lie a little bit, when you can lie A LOT? They don't mind how outrageous, the more the better. It's important to be aggressive about it, and to hit back 100x as hard.

The narcissist thinks, "You have your version of the truth, and I have MY version of the truth." And they literally think that their version of the "truth" can "win," so they try to make it the winningest! Like, it's the best version ever and all the other versions are losers, ETC, you get the idea.

He's gross and his slurred druggy speech drives me nuts.

I bet they date especially if he wins. He’ll look at her like a savior.

This is the most misogynistic part of this whole thread. Just because Camille shows warmth/friendliness to JD, she must want to get into his pants or date. They are part of team! You aren't saying that sh!t about Ben Chew? He's behaved in the same way as Camille yet you're not making these assertions about him or any other member of his legal TEAM.

I also agree! People are saying how likable he is and how horrible she is. The guy sent texts talking about burning and killing her. He's an unstable drug addict who definitely verbally abused her and probably wouldn't even remember if he hit her based on how messed up he was during the recordings. Also, I'm sick of people saying "why did she record their fight?", "She was setting him up!" in domestic abuse if you don't document the incidents, people are not going to believe you. That is the ONLY thing being proven by this case. She's definately messed up too, but he's the one dragging this out and is set on publicly humiliating her.

Don’t forget the text where he said he then wanted to f#ck her corpse to make sure she was really dead.

Plus 1,000. The number of utterly sick, pick-me, Me Too was why Amber won before women in this thread is just revolting. Revolting. These pigs - which insults anything porcine but I can’t put my fingers on a better word right now - will gleefully ignore the fact that Depp has had a rep for abuse and drug use and irresponsibility since the early 1990s, and lost his fortune and his workplace rep all by himself, particularly after Disney had enough. Depp Defenders: if you aren’t thin and thirty years younger than you are right now, he would not piss on you were you on fire. And miss me with your saga of how your ex beat your head on so therefore you understand DV law. Jesus H. Christ.

The only "proof" AH has of this event is that she says it occurred. I'm no fan of JD's at all. I think he's pretty gross. But I'm also a fair minded person, and tried to be open minded from the beginning. I tend to go for the underdog in a situation like this, and thought I would find myself behind AH. But watching the testimony, nothing adds up to me. I'm sorry, in a court of law, you can't just make accusations and expect them to be taken as truth simply because a woman made the accusation against a man. If she rolled into court with photos of a broken nose or police reports of DV, or an actual medical report from seeking medical attention, I'd be saying the opposite. But no, her claims just don't seem believable to me.

She’s also lied repeatedly.

Plus it's classic narcissist to just up the ante. Why just lie a little bit, when you can lie A LOT? They don't mind how outrageous, the more the better. It's important to be aggressive about it, and to hit back 100x as hard.

The narcissist thinks, "You have your version of the truth, and I have MY version of the truth." And they literally think that their version of the "truth" can "win," so they try to make it the winningest! Like, it's the best version ever and all the other versions are losers, ETC, you get the idea.

Oh okay. Where’s your psychology doctorate from again? Since you’ve got all the diagnoses, this should be good and illuminating.

I guess my observational skills are as good as yours, and your truth is as good as mine, and Amber's lies are as good as gospel, and "the truth is always somewhere in the middle," and furthermore, BOTH SIDES.

I have guesses about your level of education, intelligence, discernment, life experience, and political leanings.

Look at the way he talked about her. Look at the way he tried to control her. Did you hear how he behaved about her doing sex scenes? Seeing a sex scene of her in a movie where it was actually a body double and going completely nuts? wtf?

But somehow you look at that as all right and she is the villain?

She could have gotten $32 million in the divorce settlement and she took just $7 and pledged it to charity, and you guys are still mad because she has only herself paid about $1M of that so far? Even though it's a greater tax write off if she pays it over time, and now she herself is getting sued for $50 mil?

Oh but he played a funny pirate in a movie series though. And he's funny and sort of handsome. And she is not an angel, so your sympathies are with him. You guys are the worst.

Women like you are the worst. I think it's been pretty unanimous here that based on the evidence (facts) both were abusers to each other. People like you, that side with the female because she's a female, do nothing for the female right's movement and protecting victims of domestic violence. She doesn't get a free pass because she's a woman.

wow. Her slapping him a few times is not the same thing as him raping her with a bottle, or doing a crevice search for his cocaine because he was jonesing for a hit, or destroying property around her in a wake of violence.

Moreover, her op ed doesn't claim anywhere that she never slapped him. She doesn't need to prove that she never slapped him. He sued her for defamation, which means he needs to prove that she lied about being abused. So he needs to prove he didn't abuse her, and I don't think he's doing that. He seems to have been very abusive, JMHO.

NP. The bolded is not believable. She said she was bleeding, damaged and sore, yet she did not seek medical attention. That is just not believable. She would have sought medical attention if for no other reason but to make sure severe damage did not occur as a result of the bottle. Was it a glass bottle? Was the bottle chipped and she was cut? Questions that have not be answered, but if I was on a jury this is the one thing I would question. She didn't even bother to get a check-up with her private OB-GYN. Nope, not believable

Not sure you've ever been raped by a significant other. What do you think she's going to do, go to an emergency room? Getting an appointment with your gynecologist usually schedules out about a month in advance. She could do this if she wanted to go to an emergency room, or maybe if she wanted to go to a clinic. Otherwise it's going to be a hassle, and moreover she's probably going to have to answer some questions.

The description of "bleeding, damaged, and sore" could indicate varying degrees of injury. It may not be something an emergency room is required for. Some women get this from regular sex without enough lube. The point here is that it was not consensual and it hurt her. I don't think anyone suggested it was a broken bottle.

And if she HAD gone to the doctor, and had the injuries documented, for some of you it would still not be enough proof of non consensual sex, or that it was done by JD. It's a total catch 22 for women. The reactions from Depp supporters is so nuts to me.

All caps is definitely the sign of someone of rich intelligence! Yes! They teach you that in DISCERNMENT UNIVERSITY, after all.

He has little chance of winning this, but perhaps you can offer your ample lap as a comfort to Innocent Misunderstood Johnny when it all wraps up. I think you can really help him, and you can improve your dodgeball skills once your love is cemented by ducking plates as he chucks them at you because he got a little tipsy on everything in the minibar, and the coke crumbs in his pockets.
