I agree. Painting herself as the helpless victim and him as the sole perpetrator of abuse was a bad idea. |
I disagree. And what cause? Loreal? Speaking out against powerful famous men who are dysfunctional and vengeful? |

| The ACLU gets a black eye here, too. If your lawyers are ghost writing an op-Ed that results in a multi-million dollar judgment, that is less than ideal legal work. |
| I am really appalled at the number of people who are ready to throw the book at JD over a proven liar’s accusations when the only evidence is a single facial bruise that literally could have come from anything. The moral of the story here is that if you are going to publicly accuse someone of something you have to have hard evidence of the accusation. I thought this was already a widely accepted fact. |
Which she herself has been shown to be?? For whom is she speaking? |
Because she made[/i] herself[i] the spokesperson for domestic violence victims. That was the entire point of the OpEd. She painted it as one-sided abuse, with herself as the sole victim. In "traditional" DV, one person has power and control over another and uses that power and control to abuse/control the victim. That's not what seems to have happened here. You have two toxic people being violent and threatening each other. That's not "domestic violence." That's an effed up relationship that needed to end. But DV, by definition, is one sided. And she planted herself on the victim side very publicly and he showed....not so fast. |
Abuse victims? Speaking out against powerful men who are dysfunctional and vengeful is a fine and dandy cause. The problem is her credibility has been shot for lying on the stand. I don't think any cause would want a liar as their representative. |
What about all of *his* lies, which you and many others seem to conveniently overlook? Your double standard is ridiculous. |
That's not what the UK magistrate found. |
+1. She made the actual verdict about her supposed victimhood, claiming that the decision by the jury is essentially a slap in the face to all victims of DV. |
On what grounds would it have been dismissed in California? They both lived in California when it was filed and many of the underlying events occurred in California. Hard to see how a California court couldn’t have exercised jurisdiction. |
Jason Momoa liked both Johnny and Amber's post. He remains neutral. |
You should relook at that list. They are not all B-listers. I do not know how old you are, but it is obvious you do not know the younger and up and coming players in the industry. |
