I wonāt pretend to know the ins and outs of it, Iāve not been following it and have very little interest in celebrities (especially Hollywood ones) and the shit they get up to.
One a basic level though, if heās been proven as a wife beater, how exactly was he defamed? (Genuine question, I honestly didnāt watch a minute of this)
the court in the UK made a finding of fact on the basis of the information before it. in that case AH was a witness, not a defendant and the cross examination of her and the evidence introduced was significantly reduced compared to what it was in the US.
i think even a lot of her evidence form her divorce deposition was ruled out, even the one where she seemed to admit that shed informed TMZ, no evidence from the trailer park manager, no evidence from kate moss, no evidence from the cops whosaw her assault her ex wife, no evidence from the cops who came to the penthouse and didnt see any marks on her or think she was a victim of domestic violence.
Itās genuinely mental. America is a country poisoned by the cult of celebrity. Every progressive movement in the history of the country has been quickly followed by a reactionary lurch backwards.
The statements that were deemed ādefamatoryā by the jury have been demonstrably proven even more true than they were at the time, and they were true as hell then.
clearly he missed the bit of cross examination where she admitted she wrote it about him, the rest of the dominos fells on her rebuttal cross examination where vasquez absolutely shredded her
āI donāt know anything about the case or Amber Heard or what it was about but it seems very telling that a number here are taking joy in the persecution of a womanā
Depp denied he headbutted Heard and then was forced to admit he did when he was confronted by his own words which he had not realised had been recorded on audio.
Again, the simple facts are as follows: Heard proved in the UK courts that Depp had assaulted her 12 times.
The truth, even when couched in the vaguest terms, is apparently no longer a defence.
And the self styled āfree speechā mob think this is great.
The juryās verdicts donāt even make sense. The jury ruled that Depp defamed Heard when he alleged that Heardās claim of abuse against him was a āhoaxā.
So if it wasnāt a hoax, thatās the ball game, or should be.
But not with a jury filled with idiots with pre-conceived biases, influenced by vicious online hate mobs, who couldnāt even fill out the form properly at the verdict.
A jury trial acquitted OJ Simpson, remember. This is cut from the same cloth of perversity.
