Is anyone watching the Depp -Heard Libel trial ?

With regard what JD is looking for..it's to clear his name after being dropped by the studios, and lost what he claimed was 90 million dollars of work, when he lost the divorce case and was declared a wife abuser by the Sun newspaper... ..which is the cheapest rag here in the UK..

I don't think there's any doubt he will never contact AH again.. there's just too many people who would tell on him if he did..for one.. but in fact because he actually separated from her in 2016.. he's not been in contact since then anyway.
I'm not against AH personally, altho' she is very unlikeable.. but I hope she loses this case, because speaking as someone who has been abused by men, .. it riles me that she's convincing those who don't take spousal abuse seriously, that the abused create scenarios as a way of destroying their partners, and often the police will not take it seriously.. as was the case with me. ....and secondly I do believe without any doubt she's lying her way through this in an attempt to destroy his career and to elevate her own..
 

I agree @hollydolly.
When ever someone exploits a situation abuse or other it makes folks question others that truly are a victim..
the fable the boy that cried wolf playing over and over again.

I do not know if his career has dwindled because this or the general state he seems to be in ...
but her timing of these items look like it was deliberate.
What ever happened to just parting and going on your way ........
far to many IMO want to punish and CANCEL the other person. I see it in stories with some person whose fame gone trying to rev up their career etc they make wild claims about co-stars and such DECADES later .... trying to drum up sympathy? or any Press is good press
 
Amber has also filed a Cross/Counter complaint for 100 million in damages, 2 times what Depp is seeking.
 

I'm still laughing at "I didn't punch him; I hit him."

The last time I heard something like that was in one of Tom Cruise's movies - "Collateral."
Tom Cruise played a hit man who forced Jamie Foxx drive him around in his taxi to kill people.
Cruise shoots a guy & he falls out of a 6th floor window & lands on Foxx's cab.
Foxx says, "You killed him!"
Cruise says, "I didn't kill him; the bullets & the fall killed him."

she really is a piece of work.. in the video which she recorded herself.. she says .. I didn't punch you I hit you.. , he says .. don't tell me what it feels like to be punched !.. then she mocks him for walking away as soon as she starts an argument saying.. ''Tell them, I, Johnny Depp, I'm a victim of domestic abuse ... and see how many people believe or side with you,"

yes that's the only reason she's in the court.. otherwise I'm sure she would have walked out by now.. she's really on the losing side here.. and to think she'll get 100 million she really is deluded..

His and her claims and trials will be seperate, not consolidated. As the Defendant in Depp's lawsuit, she is required to appear.
 
Closing arguments Friday starting at 9 AM. I have watched bits and pieces of it and I think it's simply a case of a married couple that fought a lot. If I had to choose a winner I would choose Amber Heard. Depp admitted to becoming a "monster" when under the influence of drugs and he probably doesn't remember a lot of what happened. Really though, the jury may decide what I wrote at the beginning that they were just a couple that fought a lot so neither side gets nothing from the other. All they accomplished was to air their dirty laundry in public.
 
Some headlines say Kate Moss's testimony give Depp the 'win'. Nobody won here. As Chet noted mostly dirty laundry being aired in public.

Also I see fans still clamoring for Depp but don't see it so much for Heard but those fans won't be making the decision.

Probably an insight to many a high profile high power couple feud.
 
Nope not actually correct RR... They found against Heard and awarded Johnny defamation..£10 million , and 5 million punitive damages ( reduced to 350k because that's the limit in Virginia ..... and awarded Heard 2 million damages agains Johnny Depps' (team) but essentially Depp will be paying , not for defamation per se but for saying that she and her friends roughed up the flat to get the police to believe them .. (when in fact altho' it was probable, there was no actual proof of it )... so Depp wins.. she will have to hand over 8.5 million.. that's the 7 million... she never donated after Johnny paid it to her at the divorce settlement.. plus 1.5 million.. which leaves her now having to find the 6 million to pay the lawyers, and potentially and most likely no work for ever more..and forever her name and reputation will be ruined for being a liar..and deservedly so... this will send a message to many women who are abusers to males, who cry wolf and try and destroy a partner because they can

Will these fines pay for the legal fees for either one?

Not for Heard for sure. And I doubt Depp did this so much for the money as to make his point.

Hopefully the jury got it right.

Depp may not have been a good actor, but what Heard was accused of doing was evil, and does damage to any woman making a legitimate claim of abuse.

Jury finds both Amber Heard and Johnny Depp liable for defamation​


The jury awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million dollars in punitive damages.

The jury awarded Heard $2 million in compensatory damages and no money for punitive damages.

Yeah, apparently the jury didn't like Johnny Depp’s lawyer calling her abuse allegations a hoax...a defaming word.

If that hiccup hadn't happened, I figured they'd find in Depp's favor, but award him only $1.

Just quoting the news source. I should have posted a link to it...

I'm not especially interested in celebrities' adventures, BUT having been in Depp's situation, I'm glad he got justice.
During my divorce, my wife accused me of the same abuse, violence, threatening to shoot her & her brother, etc.
During our divorce proceedings, she said I "Picked her up & threw her down on a sofa."
She regretted it during my testimony when I said, "Look at her; she weighs 200 lbs. Do you think I can throw 200 lbs?"
The judge tried very hard not to laugh, but he couldn't help it. Neither could the people in the other seats.

Women who play this "I'm a poor, helpless victim being abused by these terrible men" game get exactly what they deserve for such hurtful lies.

If you think either of them..."is going away"...WRONG!
There's too much narcissium there!
She can make money in porn. 🤭😂
He can produce some low-class ? 🙄

you're right, we're going to hear about both of them for a long time.. but not her as an actress, which is only right and fair.... no-one is likely to touch her with a barge pole in the film industry...
