VA - Johnny Depp's defamation case against ex Amber Heard, who countersued #7

[Ontario Mom]

Exactly what I was just thinking. She seems biased. Does she have a personal problem with JD? She also seems rather defiant when questioned about her analyses.

I mean, she's been paid by AH's team so sure, she's going to testify FOR them.

Holy Smokes! Who is this nasty woman on the stand? She is so confrontational!

This is a great line of questioning by Denison. I wish he would be smooth in his delivery when he’s asking questions - it feels like he’s holding his breath in between words.

He has what I call a “hesitant” speech style, pausing frequently which is similar to the effect stuttering has on our ears. I acknowledge it makes for more uncomfortable listening, however I believe the content of his cross is worth hearing. IMHO …

'Heard's loss of earnings since negative campaign could be as high as $50m'

Entertainment industry expert Katheryn Arnold, who is being questioned by Amber Heard's team, is telling the court about "comparable actors" to Heard, who she says she can use to measure Heard's career and its trajectory.

She says she chose actors who had played superhero characters in their break out roles, were good looking, were a similar age, could do stunts and had good acting skills. She says she considered these five actors:

Jason Momoa
Gal Gadot
Ana de Armas
Zendaya
Chris Pine

Ms Arnold says all of them were on an "upward trajectory" and "it would be very reasonable to think [Heard's] career would have been on [a similar] upward trajectory, with a year of so".

She lists all of the above actors and says they have all worked with numerous big brands since their initial success. However, she says Heard hasn't even managed to keep working for her one big brand - cosmetic company L'Oréal (who have paused her appearance in their campaigns).

Discussing losses, Ms Arnold says she thinks Heard made around a $2m loss from Aquaman, due to not being to negotiate a higher free for the second film.

As to TV, she says "there's an exponential range where she could have done", and uses Momoa again as an example of an actor who has achieved massive TV success since his break out role.

For loss of endorsement contracts, she says she thinks Heard's looking at losses of "as much as $8m over time".

With production and film activities, Ms Arnold says she thinks "over the course of five years it's reasonable to think [Heard] would have been in one film per year for a minimum of $4m per film [her negotiated fee should she appear in an Aquaman 3 film], and so she would have lost at least $20m in earnings."

Ms Arnold concludes that Heard's combined loss of earnings across film, TV and endorsement is between $45 and $50m since the negative statements from Depp and his attorney Adam Waldman were first made, following Heard's split from Depp.

Momoa has been around in TV for years, I loved him in stargate atlantis!, and obviously GOT made him hot property.

Zendaya was a Disney kid so she had a good fan base, it's interesting to note that her early co star from shake it up (I think that's what it was called) Bella Thorne, went a bit wild and doesn't seem to have had the same success as Zendaya,possibly due to her behaviour MOO.

I don't really know much about the other 3 in the list, I've not heard of Ana de Armas.

Anyway,my point is that the people on this list have put the hours in and built up a varied body of work and IMO AH has not done anything noteworthy to date,apart from Marry Johnny Depp.
The only film I could have told you she was in before this trial would be Aquaman and she didn't set the screen alive in that!

This witness is annoying with her casual, flippant comments. "Oh you're a movie buff!"
Lady, this isn't lunch time chit chat, it's a court of law. For cryin' outloud. Ugh.

I am sorry, I am not impressed with Denison. He is not driving the points home after making a decent statement. JMO

 

[turaj]

Oh I bet the jury is once again tuned out. The way this woman speaks to Dennison hard to take her seriously.

 

[makayla]

Exactly what I was just thinking. She seems biased. Does she have a personal problem with JD? She also seems rather defiant when questioned about her analyses.

I would add sarcastic, testy and confrontational as well.

Exactly. It makes me anxious!

 

[turaj]

actors of this "ilk"

 

[katydid23]

She used Chris Pine as an example but she didn't know he was 'Captain Kirk' in his last film?

Then she acts like it's no big deal that she didnt really know that much about these actors she is using to compare to AH for her perceived trajectories...

I know, she’s driving me crazy!

" I didnt say meteoric rise' with Ms Heard...


YOU DID TOO SAY THAT!

 

[dyannaON]

Sorry I’m sure this has been answered a few times.
Who’s time are we on right now? When prosecutors are questioning defendants is it prosecution time?

Wow this is boring, and totally off into the weeds.

I am tuned out. I find it SO hard to listen after that argument, verbal brawl with that doctor.

 

[gloomy]

she's attempting to be buddy buddy, it's not working

Yeah it's curious. She didn't even know that Robert Pattison is in the new Batman. What is happening... she is an expert for AH's claims. Moo

I don't like this witness at all, but she seems to be taking JD's lawyer along on Mr. Magoo's crazy ride. I hope the jury dismisses her testimony.

 

[steff13]

She said she hadn't memorized any of these people's IMDB pages. I wouldn't expect her to memorize, but I would expect her to know what they have starred in, if you see what I mean.
