Johnny Depp Trial

[BayouQueen]

How is her press release not a further defamation??

It is, isn't it. After seeing so much about her, she'll probably continue her whole life taking him down at every chance.

I'm so glad he won. I hope he gets his career back.

I think if she had actually donated the proceeds of her divorce with Depp like she said she was doing through press releases she would have won. It just further proved what a liar she is that she didn’t.

I'm sure AH will "pledge" to pay the settlement.....Lol

They were both enablers, but I always have been more on JD's side. I felt that way long before all the stuff came out about HER and the violence she dished out. Having been in a very violatile 5 year relationship in my 20's, I get a pretty good sense of bad relationships. These 2 were never good for each other.
But I do believe she singlehandedly ruined his career. I hope he wins the civil suit.

I am very, very happy for Johnny. Now let's have another PIRATES movie with JD as Capt Jack Sparrow

Not even close. This was just one small part of her bad character that was exposed. It was very clear that she lied about the abuse, which is the basis of the defamation.

The media is saying the MeToo movement is hurt by this decision. Just because he was proven innocent, does not mean the importance of ending violence against all people will go away. I wish the media would say how we move forward discussing this serious issue as a society and make further progress, not just focusing on celebrity aspect of this specific case.

This was not a criminal case about whether or not he committed DV. This was a civil case about whether AH defamed JD.

JD should “pledge” his settlement to Children’s Hospital .

They’d have to cough up more than $300 million and more than a million alpacas.

I think that psychotic, evil laugh on the recording and how she clearly tormented the poor guy really helped do her in.

Ask TMZ.

I did! And guess what? Jason Voorhees is none too happy with one Buzz Rules implying that he’s a murderer, right here on the Disboards! Mr.Voorhees, mild-mannered family man and outdoorsman, just wants to live in peace. So this is going to court, and it will likely hurt.

As for damages, Voorhees is requesting “at least an arm and a leg.” Well, we’ll be watching this unfold right here! Good luck, Buzz!

Oh look! Here’s Jason and his family getting their annual portrait taken. Is that Freddy? Shucks, so many celebs will be coming out of the woodwork for this trial.

True...but to give him any money, Johnny's lawyers had to prove none of the DV happened as part of the jury's finding, at least at the civil standard evidence level...

Seems as though if the jury found him not guilty of DV by a preponderance of the evidence (all that’s required in civil court) then a similar jury would have to find him not guilty of DV by virtue of reasonable doubt, which is much easier standard for the defense. After all, OJ was found not guilty in criminal court but guilty in civil court.

Actually I settled that case. The jury found me innocent and new evidence came to light. It turns out the real perpetrator matches the description of a foolish mortal dressed as a blue skeleton ghost. It was determined that the Voorhees family would go to Gracey Manor and inquire about the free vacancy room at the mansion. There they could live in true peace and serve justice directly to the accuser. But wait, this just in, HGTV is announcing that they are renovating manor. How will the family react? Tune into next week’s episode of “Misunderstood horror film villains” to find out.
By the way, is that supposed to be Whitney as Jason’s wife?
That was a great post.

My gut feeling and pure speculation is that the jury actually hadn’t planned on giving any type of damages. Because if they were deliberating and coming up with those type of numbers they would not have forgotten to put them on the piece of paper. I think when they had to go back in the room they were like all right let’s just throw some numbers down to finish. And it could be that in their minds they were thinking if they were both looking for 50 or 100 million respectively - then they assumed 2/15 million is a wrist slap and a message. Most people though are speculating that the 12 million or so she owes him now is a financial impact on her.
Even Johnny Depp said he wasn’t looking for money and the judge was also hinting to the jury they could start at one dollar. So maybe they really did want to get these amounts and simply were stupid to forget to put it down. Or just tired and overwhelmed and wanted to get the heck out of there.

Most web “experts” were commenting or betting that The jury would find her at fault but not award any money($1.00) since in the end thenJiry would see The marriage was toxic and abusive from both parties. She just went beyond in her accusations and defamation.

The fact that Johnny is friends with Manson is a red flag to me. Johnny will never be clean and sober with friends like Manson. The fact that he was so close to Hunter S. Thompson speaks volumes as well. He was such a druggie.

Wasn't Manson accused by a number of women of abuse?

I was listening to a pop culture podcast on my walk this morning, not realizing how they would cover this trial (it was a few weeks ago, so it was mid-trial). They expressed my thoughts how 'the internet' has taken something really serious into a gigantic meme with arm-chair 20-something tik-tokers going (or attempting to go) viral about things that are serious and that they are not at all experts on. I think they called it the "commodification of other people's pain".

That kind of sums up my thoughts.

 

[TheIncredibles!]

I saw something yesterday about Dwayne Johnson might be considered for both Jack Sparrow and Genie roles. I hope Johnny can come back!!!

Disney needs to retire the Pirate's franchise if they can't figure out how to right their wrongs with Johnny.

This HELPED the #metoo movement because literally he was there saying ME TOO and he was BELIEVED!

Women are not the only victims.
