Perhaps the most likely verdict now is a win for Depp but in a small amount, maybe even $1. I mean, if you're awarding significant damages, how do you forget to write in the amount?

Now they seem to be finding for her as well!

They found $2MM in damages for Heard. Seems rather odd lol.

So as the judge explained, the $5MM part of Depp's award can legally only be $350K, so he was basically awarded $10,350,000, with Heard being awarded $2MM. Coincidentally, that was the same amount of Heard's Aquaman 2 pay.

Any movie studio should sign him to a multi movie deal asap. Q rating probably through the roof right now. Johnny posted a message on Instagram an hour ago and it already has half a million likes. Everyone I know on social media is cheering the dude on. People will rally to his movies.

Good. Now this whole ridiculous and disgusting mess can hopefully disappear from the news cycle and conversation.

Doesn’t look like this Amber will end this. Elaine went from being a lawyer to now being Turd’s personal publicist 😂

The LA Times wrote an article trying to defend Heard but used spoof video meme of Jason Momoa testifying as the author’s source.

Read the comments on their feed:

Wow!

Journalists who don’t even watch the trial giving their opinion piece in this day and age. 💩

As I see the Depp Heard trial:

Let’s begin with what should not be controversial: Johnny Depp and Amber Heard frequently argued—multiple times a week as it became. These arguments would often easily escalate to verbal/psychological/emotional abuse by one, or the other, or more often than not, by both. Less frequently but far too often, these would lead to physical abuse by one, or the other, or by both. Later in the relationship, JH would walk away when he feared the arguments were escalating.

Both had emotional problems: Amber has ADHD, and presented symptoms of Borderline and Histrionic Personality Disorders (and based on my personal observations of her testimony, rebuttal testimony, and her Dateline interview, is a strong candidate for Narcissistic Personality Disorder). Johnny had a primary dopamine imbalance, ADHD, Bipolar One depression, insomnia, and had Chronic Substance Abuse Disorder. They both were abused by one of their parents.

The battle began as Amber made several mistakes in her approach to respond to Johnny’s decision to end their marriage, or as some would say, initiated calculated strategies, all with the apparent design to boost her image and career, and if not designed to harm Johnny, at least without regard to how it may harm him.

First, Amber, through her attorney, set up and appeared at the LA courthouse, with an apparent bruise on her face, to obtain an ex parte (only Amber’s attorney was present) TDO (temporary restraining order). This was totally unnecessary for the alleged purpose, protecting Amber, as JD was out of the country and would be for months. It appeared to only be necessary to leverage the divorce. The action harmed JD and started the whole mess, as the divorce and op-ed stemmed from this.

Second, Amber chose to appear for Rupert Murdoch’s Sun tabloid as a witness. As an American, although she did not have to appear, she did. This action also harmed JD.

Third was Amber’s op-ed. This clearly harmed Johnny as the jury unanimously found to his favor.

Fourth and beyond was her inability to be honest. This might mean embellishing or exaggerating or minimizing, or it might mean having an answer for everything, however implausible as it might be--like a child who had time to think of an alternate explanation for the broken whatever. Also, she might be feigning or acting, or she might simply outright lie. The jury was asked to believe her and her few friends (actually ex-friends), who did not appear in court, or to believe everyone else, the multitudes of opposing witnesses, including the police.

With this, the jury made their decision in what appears to be a fair and reasonable finding, though not exactly what I would have argued had I been among them. Some may then ask, how can it be true that I say the finding was reasonable and at the same time consider Johnny to be an abuser? For the answer, we must look at Amber’s op-ed. When she said, “Then two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse,” she was misleading: She did not tell “the whole truth”. She was clearly alluding to the fact that she was a victim, and only a victim, of domestic abuse, and not an equal partner, an actual perpetrator of domestic abuse herself, giving as good as she got. By this omission, she made herself look good while at the same time she made Johnny look bad. Had the roles been completely reversed, and Johnny had written the exact same op-ed, that would also be defaming.

As for her sexual violence claims, especially the rape claim that was not mentioned until long after the divorce, this and other claims kept expanding in number and degree over the months and years. For this injury, along with other extensive claimed injuries from this event as Amber claimed in court, there is not a stitch of supportive evidence, even though a doctor and a nurse were present in the immediate aftermath the following morning. They were not asked to examine Amber even though she claims she had vaginal bleeding, and they saw no evidence of the multitude of claimed injuries, except for two parallel straight cuts on the inside of her left arm that one person present thought were self-inflicted. As such, her claims of sexual violence were not supported and another reason for finding defamation.

One of the many troubling observations I have from watching this whole thing play out in the public forum is that when Depp utilized his legal recourses, it was viewed as reasonable and wise legal action, with little acknowledgment of Depp's obviously contributing role in escalating the disfunction. But when Heard did it, it was viewed as nefarious manipulation by a crazy woman. There's no doubt that old school misogyny and fan worship played a huge role in how this trial was viewed in the public forum, and it bled over to the trial itself.

She dug her own grave in this case. She was a breathtakingly bad witness. She lost because the evidence didn't seem to support the lies that she was telling on the stand, not because of misogyny. I can't speak to why people on social media clearly rallied to him in the way that they did, but with as much support for #MeToo on social media as there is, don't you think it's a little bit strange that the sentiment on social media was overwhelmingly, overwhelmingly in favor of Depp, particularly when Depp was seen by the public as persona non grata in the immediate aftermath of what Heard said happened? As for the trial itself, a female judge was presiding, and both sides had a female as the co-leading attorney. She had every opportunity to get up there and tell her story.

This case was about someone who was caught in lie after lie on the stand, and I say this while acknowledging that Depp is no saint. Elaine's media tour after the loss was pathetic, too.
