VA - Johnny Depp's defamation case against ex Amber Heard, who countersued #9

[wasnt_me]

I was distracted and missed bits and pieces of her testimony today. I definitely plan to go back and rewatch. I can’t believe she would claim that he wasn’t there!

She was talking and looking like her deposition days....

several times lol

Fantastic recap!

“I once told Marilyn Manson he talked too much“
”Oh then maybe they are Hearsay papers”

 

[squareandrabbet]

OMG she threw herself directly under the bus.

I’m convinced these speeches indicate things she wanted memorialized for the progressive activist circuit cred… its the kind of emotional knee-jerk thing they would eat up. Looking more for an emotion-evoker than a truth teller.

What is this baby in microwave story? I guess I completely missed it.

Amber Heard’s claim today as part of her rant that people have trolled her saying they want to put her baby in a microwave.

I don’t believe it for a second but there you are.

While the trial and the subject is no laughing matter, there were so many highlights. People being funny without even trying. Add any others you think of…​

​

Ambers:​

I never lied​

Dont know who that was, I’ve never seen him before​

Everything was trashed, they just gave him a deal for $62​

KM on the stairs was going around in the celeb world, I guess it just must have been a rumor​

I have 100’s of text & emails from people who want to kill me​

How am I supposed to know what photo that is?​

Johnny was trying to kill me, I had to defend myself​

EXCUUUUSE ME, I got the part in the movie on my own​

Pledge and Donate are synonymous to me. Well they aren’t to me and I’m asking the questions.

​

​

OTHER FUNNIES:​

Aqua net (from Johnny himself)​

Mr Night it’s true you are a fan of JD, isn’t it? No I am not​

The umbrella guy???? Sounds like schizophrenia​

Uh a Mega Pint?? (my fave, it was so real)​

You’re just here for your 15 minutes of fame. I can say the same about you Elaine for taking Amber as a client​

Thats hearsay…oh wait that’s my own hearsay (AH lawyer)​

Isn’t he dead?? (Marlon Brando-who happens to be an Icon for Johnny)​

Wait, you know what…eating candy and drawing at the table means you are a narcissist​

Judge do I have to answer the question? Yes doctor you have to answer the question, you have to answer every question​

​

We can't forget Rottenborn asking Depp's security guard if he saw Depp's penis.
Nor Romero's testimony from his car, and who drove off while vaping.

I'm going to miss this trial. It was nice to watch one that involved someone I like and didn't involve a heinous crime.

Oh, and the someone I like isn't AH.

Alejandro definitely a highlight! When he got so frustrated with being asked if he knew what kind of concealer, foundation, powder, etc AH wears he was all of us. He said I’m so tired of this!

Same with Isaac b when he finally had to break down laughing after the umpteen time he was asked about “ Amica cream” lol
I don’t even know what Amica is !

 

[Gypsy Road]

Honestly I’m in the minority here. I wouldn’t be able to agree with either side. I see them both as very toxic people - Johnny with his entitlement issues, drug dependency, alcohol and terrible terrible verbal abuse and those texts! Omg those vile texts. Who says that stuff? Why did he marry her? Why didn’t he leave sooner? It’s not hard stretch for me to believe that he hit her at some point and it wasnt always reactive abuse. I also don’t think highly of Amber’s behavior at all. I see her as being extremely aggressive and a bully and also terribly abusive. The trial has become a circus and a terrible terrible tragedy for victims in the future who might be afraid to come forward. And also, I don’t approve of the vile things being said or the intense amount cyber bullying going on. I can’t stand turning on my computer every morning and seeing Amber this, Amber that. Remember Monica Lewinski, Brittany Spears? Do you remember what society did to them? Monica almost took her own life because society was relentless in beating her up for her personal mistakes. It’s uncalled for. There are messed up people in every walk of life. There are murderers, child killers yet are chose to beat up on a woman who may or may not have falsely accused her partner of abuse or who may have even suffered abuse. I’m going to choose to refrain from bullying and just hope and pray she gets the therapy and help she needs - as well Johnny. This trial has made me sad for our society.

Elaine with Mr. Night. “Mr. Night you wanted to participate in this trial didn’t you, you knew it was on camera and being broadcast to a lot of people.” I love ”broadcast to a lot of people“ instead of broadcast globally? She was really caught up in the 15 minutes of fame mindset. That may be what she is remembered for.

He clearly did not want to be there. I felt sorry for him.

 

[MachinaCollecta]

Just finished catching up with today and I honestly feel that AH has sunk her reputation that much further by taking the stand again. She came across as similar to how she was in the deposition. No warmth, nothing there that seems like someone who has suffered.

Regardless of the jury’s verdict I feel that AH has made her true self very, very clear and it will come back to haunt her forever. JMHO IMO etc.

 

[concernedmother]

The jury should have it by noon. It wouldn't surprise me if they reach a verdict tomorrow evening.

 

[they'll get you]

The judge telling JD not to break anything as he exited the witness stand

If the judge believed it was remotely true she would NEVER have said that.

Jd’s response was gold. A smile, a giggle.

 

[whitelilac]

Question:
Must the verdict actually also include the $ amount for the damages? If so, that may take some time to determine and agree upon.

I respect your opinion and feel it's so important and enlightening to hear and understand everyone's point of view.

I hate cyber bullying too, and with social media it is so easy for things to get amplified and terribly extreme.

Although I do not believe 2 wrongs make a right, I do feel AH particpated in online bullying as well with her tweet reply to Mr. Waldman about his height, and with the op-ed itself. I also believe she bullied people in real time (friends, family, employees, Johnny). I agree some of Johnny's texts were vile but they seemed to be aberrations to his overall character.

To me, if social media is a barometer of how the masses feel, it's been made loud and clear that society despises liars, exploiters and manipulators. And, it's shown that society feels compassion for those with addiction problems.

 

[Ontario Mom]

I think her invited to play guitar with JD threw AH over the edge.

1. He was having fun.
2. He wasn't showering her with attention--and war was on.

As someone we all know says, BAM! you nailed it.

I don't know how that works. If that's determined with the verdict or another time where they award damages. Never followed a defamation case before.

 

[Kiranerys]

“I once told Marilyn Manson he talked too much“
”Oh then maybe they are Hearsay papers”

"Yes,for the fourth time,that is my signature"

BR "OK,I just wanted to clarify"

"Oh you did".

BR "You are good friends and took drugs with Paul Bettany, correct?"

"That's a strange question "

 

[concernedmother]

It just wouldn't surprise me at all if they find both culpable and no one gets a penny.

 

[squareandrabbet]

I was once on a civil jury for someone famous who said their managers rooked them out of a massive sum of money (no it wasn’t JD, lol).

we definitely settled on a monetary amount/judgment then and there; and keep in mind they have to rule on all points of both claim and a counterclaim.

 

[whitelilac]

Does this imply that generally damages are figured out AFTER the verdict?

Awarding Damages After Winning At Trial​

If the plaintiff's case is successful, the jury will be instructed to award "damages" - that is, an amount of money to be paid by the defendant to the plaintiff.
