Re: Phew Johnny Depp Won

She is proper skint.

May not get Hollywood gig again looking for a gaff??

Reach out ??

So if I get your "joke". Woman who appears emotionally vulnerable but is a bit of a looker and now maybe short of money may be approachable for people willing to take advantage.

Think this was on similar lines to your thoughts on the woman who reached an out of court settlement with Prince Andrew.

The court case passed over my head but there are a few on here that followed it that suggested the correct legal result was achieved.

Doesn't mean your misogyny is any more acceptable as a result though.

Phew!

Re: Phew Johnny Depp Won

The result has certainly put the 'Me too' movement back a few years, though I think your opinion on whether that's a good or bad thing depends on your sex. But in reality, this was a case of libel - her accusations affected his career - not one of misogyny, or violence against women. There are a lot of accusations made against people that, for one reason or other, they choose not to contest. Depp took a gamble, and it paid off. Heard thought the trial was cut and dried - but she misunderstood the case. It wasn't Depp on trial, it was her.

Err, what? Personally as a man who's not a sex offender and has no plans to be one I don't think it's a good thing if the Me Too movement's been set back a few years, and I'd wonder about me who think it is tbh

Re: Phew Johnny Depp Won

Which commentaries did you see that formed this opinion?

Absolutely embarrassing if you side with Amber Heard and much more likely to be on the same level as the incels mentioned.

Main stream media commentaries and opinion pieces (not CNN) that discussed the US defamation law, the different outcome from the Depp-Sun case in the UK (that he lost), the track record of these type of high profile defamation cases ending up in appeal courts, and the inherent contradiction in the verdict that found against Heard but also against Depp’s agent for labelling her claims ‘a hoax’.

I don’t side with either of them - NYCBlue put it well - but the stuff I have read made the prediction this would end up being settled on appeal quite convincing.

There were no winners from this case - apart from the lawyers and the tabloid media looking for salacious content. Car crash TV.
