Who wins?

A very modern conclusion to this would be for JD to win. AH then commits the ultimate wife beating on herself, complete with Goodbye Cruel World note written in her own excrement for ironic lolz.

The final crescendo being a massive gender reveal by Camille who started life as Charles - her/his/their trans medical bills paid by Johnny Depp, a full 6 years before he met AH.

Surely the outcome must he that the both lose their case and that's that. Johnny suing someone for making a story that doesn't mention him, and Amber suing for loss of earnings? Neither should have a case imo, but it's incredible how many men are aggressive to Amber in this thread.

I don't think you should be assuming the gender, TBF.

See for me it is posts like this and the one about this being the final nail in the coffin for the #metoo movement that led me to think this was just another anti women thread. Its as bad as all 'men are rapist' comments.

As the OP, I was "inspired" to start this thread as I read the article about Heard defecating in the marital bed. As a result, I've ended up catching a fair bit of the trial as I've followed the thread. There has definitely been some sexist comments made for sure, but I'll tell you where I've heard the worst criticism of Heard - from my wife.

It's easy to frame this as an anti-woman agenda, but the truth is that this could be 2 blokes on the stand and the public reaction would be the same. It's an anti-liar agenda, because make no mistake, if this woman was even remotely plausible then Depp would be sharing a cell with Weinstein by now.

What I don't like to see, is someone with mental health issues being used for public entertainment. It's all a bit distasteful from that point of view, IMO.

Well yes but you are mixing hostility with criticisism. There are posts that imply all women that cry rape are lying and the metoo movement women are just liars and it is all blown out of proportion.

Has your wife after watching it said 'it just goes to show you cant trust any women, especially if they cry rape or sexual assault'? Or 'you see I knew that metoo movement was nonsense and this proves it'?

Dont get me wrong Im almost sure there are posts in here that arent just anti Heard because, women.

As Chris Rock said. “Believe all women, believe all women… except Amber Heard. What the **** is she on? She **** in his bed! She’s fine but she’s not ******** fine.

Are you paraphrasing there, or could you quote specific posts?

I understand if you CBA trawling through the thread to find specific posts, I'm just making the point that I can't recall those things being said here.

I know nuance isn’t permitted in this thread, but I think it’s important to try and stand in the shoes of others who have been victims of domestic abuse and violence. One of the challenges is overcoming the often charming public face of their abuser in order to be believed. The reason this case is so upsetting for those people is this case, very publicly, reinforces the notion that how someone is in public reflects how they are in private, and will again make those voices harder to be heard. That is regardless of whether or not the outcome here was the right one.

However, as I said up thread, on the balance of the evidence presented, I think Depp was probably right to win this case, but he also comes across as a very complicated, damaged character with a history of substance abuse and anger management issues.

I feel most of all that this case would have benefited from being behind closed doors.

The problem with this case is that it was a defamation trial, but a section of society seem to think it was a rape trial. It's no wonder they haven't encountered the result they craved.
