See? Softball. I can’t believe NBC thinks this is okay.

….on the bright side, we can eyeball the baby.

If that was love I would hate to see how she treats someone she dislikes. I hope this is not a plea to get him to pay attention to her, to speak with her or to reel him back into a relationship. I don't believe that will ever happen but could this be an attempt or maybe an attempt for him to forgive her for what she owes him? How the alleged victim,one who claims so much harm was done to her still say she loves ex with all her heart. The woman needs help and JD needs to stay strong and stay far away.

Absolutely. I hate to see her get this platform she in no wise deserves. I hate it.

So, if I understand correctly, ms H still “with all her heart” loves the man that slapped, pushed, kicked and sexually assaulted her?

I get an eerie feeling that ms H is on a mission to get her ex-husband’s attention. She wants him back.

…this is why I hope she never switches tactics and learns to feign concern!!!

Probably more of a See Johnny. I still love you. This is all your fault. Another way to try to guilt trip him and bring him down. jmo

…how many victims would say this about a person they said raped and beat them every week, hell maybe day for all she changes her stories, of their relationship? She’s as good as saying if he did it, she liked it… and we all with a brain know he didn’t do it.

It blew my mind when she said that.

She was gaslighting that interview. Twisting. Turning. Talking in circles. Acting all covert.

Gaslighters do this over and over till you are exhausted and confused and want to walk away.

I wish Savannah had taken off her mic and walked away, lol. “There’s no point in continuing to give her this goal-shifting soapbox.”

Did y’all hear AH tell NBC that because she pledged the money to charity, that doesn’t mean she should have to earmark it??

She REALLY needs to brush up on her synonyms.

Lol, the charities will never see that money.

they may never stop hoping, but they won’t see that money.

JD needs to make her pay up, because the only thing worse than this unhinged lunatic is this unhinged lunatic with money.

 

[Anxala]

It is and I just can't help wondering what he was thinking/feeling in those moments. It's obviously a lie--even as humble as he is, he had to understand that, logically. If it wasn't clearly sarcasm/humor, other than to hurt him, what other motivation could there be for those comments?

I can't agree that he's humble. There's zero evidence to back that up. On the contrary. JMO of course.

Can I ask what your basis for thinking he's a humble person is?

I really hope someone starts a new trend on tic tok and twitter .. #boycottnbc .. the sheer fact that they are giving this woman a platform to speak more lies is sickening .. and the fact that they are dragging it out to garner more views is even worse. I hate that the law tubers are continuing to watch the video snippets and showing them over and over even though the commentary is hilarious. I can't help but think if the shoe was on the other foot, they would NEVER give JD or any other man the platform to continue inflicting pain on a victim.

I don't know JD personally, so I really can't make a claim that he's a humble person, from personal experience.

At the same time, I have heard him talk (loads of YT videos out there, talk show segments, etc.) about the charities he's aligned with, how some of the charitable events are held, his role in all of that, and what it all means to him. As it pertains to these charities, the people involved and his own involvement, he doesn't like being the center of attention, or having his own name front and center. That's the actual definition of humility, to have a low estimate of one's own importance.

So I would say, as it relates directly to his charitable involvement, he does come across as very humble.

Is it blatant hypocrisy? Yes, I think we all know there's no way one of the major networks would let an abusive man sit there and continue to lie about the case he just lost in court. Unfortunately, hypocrisy happens all the time.

On the other hand, NBC seems to have an ample supply of rope, that they've offered to AH. She gladly accepted.
Should be interesting to see where this goes from here.

I disagree that there is zero evidence. Is he a self-flagellating martyr? No. Has he lived a life of poverty and silence, like a monk? No.

But relatively speaking...here's a slight correction along those lines -- as humble as a highly popular, extremely rich celebrity can be given they can lose themselves to the trappings of fame and are often surrounded by people who acquiesce.

Watch interviews over the years--how he responds to flattery, how he would prefer to talk about the accomplishments/positive traits of others.

Other examples of JD being humble/exercising humility would include NOT calling TMZ or whoever prior to appearing at Disney, children's hospitals, etc so as to give guests/patients an intimate experience rather than turning it into a "look at me" event.

Some who have grown up with abuse might view the purchase of a million dollar home for his mother--along with a tattoo of her name--as humility, giving her the credit she is due for bringing out the good parts of him despite the pain she also caused him. Others in his position might have told her to take a hike and gone on to live a new life with no sense of gratitude or humility whatsoever for how their pasts shaped them or how they gifted them.

Some would say admitting to one's vices, errors, mistakes, sins, etc indicates a sign of humility.

Some would say that engaging in normal conversation with non-celebrities in the course of everyday life and treating them with respect and as an equal is a sign of humility.

Could not agree more - I don't think SG is buying it for a second, and she is just handing AH the rope she so eagerly takes at every opportunity.

I really hope someone starts a new trend on tic tok and twitter .. #boycottnbc .. the sheer fact that they are giving this woman a platform to speak more lies is sickening .. and the fact that they are dragging it out to garner more views is even worse.

I can't help but think if the shoe was on the other foot, they would NEVER give JD or any other man the platform to continue inflicting pain on a victim.

As infuriating as it is, MSM is in the business to make money off the story, and AH has one to tell, believe it or not. It sells. Anyone who can make a buck off this story--and has to this point--will continue to do so until it dies out or another story takes over. Despite our distaste for AH, we have a natural desire to hear what she wants to say for herself. As viewers, we are consumers, and we can express our preferences through our viewing habits. NBC doing what it does in a competitive industry and making money off AH does not mean that AH benefits--as we can see from the backlash.

On the upside, it is provoking conversation that no one was ready to have during the height of the #metoo movement, which began not long after their divorce and as AH was playing survivor-advocate. It's not that no one wanted to hear JD's side, it's that giving him a platform would have been costly. And, at that time, NBC and CBS would NOT have been the place for JD as they had their own fires to put out. They're probably fighting for an exclusive with JD now, but given how he's expressed that he just wants to reclaim his life, I hope they realize that ship has sailed and that--if he talks--he will give attention to those outlets that tried to spread the truth from the beginning--which won't be MSM. JMO.

Examples of Johnny being humble-- (please feel free to add because I'm sure there's more)

​

He stands out in all weather's for hours after a long day filming to spend time with his fans until his minders literally pick him up and drag him away.

He visits sick kids in hospital as Jack Sparrow.

He is being sued because he stopped an entitled film location manager from harassing a homeless woman that was in his way.

He brought home gifts for his wife's P.A.'s son aswell as his own children when he went on holiday.

His friends and staff and almost anyone else who has ever worked with him adore him, and even Amber's crew of hangers on said they loved him.

I have more but let's give someone else a turn

 

[ZoriahNZ]

I think he's very humble, and quite introverted. In all of his interactions with his fans, with the public at large, in his interviews etc, he focuses on thanking those around him for the work and attention he gets, downplaying his own talent or fortunes. He completely engages with people and tries to make them feel comfortable/good about themselves. It's in stark contrast to AH's haughty, entitled approach, in my opinion. He is often late to events because he always stops to say hi and thank fans for supporting him. He physically has to be man-handled away by his security. He comes across as viewing people of all stripes and colors as deserving of respect and dignity.

Here is an example of his generosity and respect for others:

Johnny Depp spends £40,000 on coats for pirate crew

The impression I get from evidence, anecdotes and observation is that AH doesn't respect employees, or ordinary people at all. She abuses "the help" with impunity, focused on her own needs and whether the person she is interacting with will a) give her the praise and attention she thinks she deserves, b) further her ambitions/financial or social status. If you're Elon Musk or some famous director or actor, a bigwig at ACLU, though, I am sure she can come across as charming.

Ask Kate James about how she was treated as AH's personal assistant; spat in the face and fired for asking for a raise.

The house manager Ben King, has testified that they were very informal with staff… Tara Roberts, semiconversely, claimed that he used to eat meals with the staff all the time, and that when Amber showed up, the group meals stopped… he literally treats “the help” the same as you or I…

his stopping to have whole much-inked-about conversations with the court stenographer, shaking hands with all the deputies etc.; talking to the CourtTV cameraman every morning,; pulling Camille’s chair in and out, once fixing her mic pack; hiring two homeless people to work on set (extras?) for City of Lies; stories going back to the 90s about him ending nights at the Viper Room outside talking to the homeless congregating outside; all the Make-A-Wish ink, the Great Ormond Street hospital work, etc., etc…

if Johnny Depp is not humble, I guess I don’t know what humble looks like.

 

[squareandrabbet]

This, I would also claim, is both humble and elegantly phrased:

Johnny Depp thanks his 'loyal and unwavering supporters' on new TikTok account | CNN

Johnny Depp is thanking his fans for sticking by his side during the recent defamation trial with his ex-wife Amber Heard.

www.cnn.com

"To all of my most treasured, loyal and unwavering supporters. We've been everywhere together, we have seen everything together. We have walked the same road together. We did the right thing together, all because you cared," he wrote.

He continued: "And now, we will all move forward together. You are, as always, my employers and once again I am whittled down to no way to say thank you, other than just by saying thank you. So, thank you. My love & respect, JD"

he’s often said he couldn’t exist and have the success he has had, without people going to spend their hard earned dollars on him.

The “employers” reference is by no means new.

and may I add .. was not written by his PR person

 

[they'll get you]

She is so fake and insincere, to the point that nothing she says is believable. I almost think she wants to be sued again.

She’d constantly poke JD & now she’s going to poke the wrong bear and it’s gonna come out swinging.

Everyone now except JD is mouthing their side.

 

[they'll get you]

Can you imagine living with this person on a daily basis? She would drive me to drinking too.

Add on all her bludgers totally living off you. It was a nightmare!
