She was found liable of defaming Depp by saying that he abused her. The evidence in the trial overwhelmingly pointed out that Heard was the real abuser and was just using this to further exert her power over him. There was solid evidence of abuse by Depp as Heard kept getting caught in lies.
Yep. This Morning discussed it today and the closest they came to Depp's side was saying that the marriage was toxic and both sided it, basically. Which will be confusing as fuck to the people who have only been watching This Morning's previous coverage where they barely discussed the finger, the faeces in the bed etc and made out that Heard was the sole victim.
The defamation claim hinged on whether Heard published material which a) was about Johnny Depp, b) had malicious intent, and c) was untrue.
It's important to remember that it is impossible to be wrong for the right reasons. That just means your reasons were wrong, even if they look similar to right reasons. Often the right reasons are a little more complicated than similar-looking wrong reasons.
The brief summary of the trial as a whole is that Amber Heard was constantly caught in her own lies. From her own testimony contradicting itself, to evidence contradicting her version of events, to even her own witnesses telling different stories to what she was telling. They were also using edited photos (literally shown side by side with every strand of hair in the same place), and submitting the same photos as evidence for different days in which she claims she was abused. Her actions on the stand are indefensible and the best way to prevent any damage to the metoo movement from this (which is all the left seems to care about) is to accept that in this case, we were wrong. That doesn't mean thousands of other women aren't suffering in silence.
The Amber Heard-Johnny Depp trial was an orgy of misogyny | Moira Donegan
The backlash to #Me Too has long been under way. But this feels like a tipping pointwww.theguardian.com
It's honestly hard to fathom that an article like this can be written after everything. Yes, Me Too is going to be damaged from this, but that is not Depp's fault nor will it ever be; it's Heard's for co-opting the movement for her own personal gain.
With all the TERF stuff and now this; it's becoming blatantly clear what type of left-wing publication the Guardian is, and it's not one I feel welcome with anymore.
The Guardian is not left-wing publication, lol.The Amber Heard-Johnny Depp trial was an orgy of misogyny | Moira Donegan

this is insane. celebrity worship out of control. you're gonna beat the shit out of someone because of a civil suit between two fucking celebrities. jesus h fucking christ.
Short term panic over what will be a generational battle.
Not only this, but being public actually helped in that two witnesses became aware. TMZ guy and Mr Night.TMZ saw the court had slightly longer different video, testified in a roundabout way that it was heard who gave it, Mr Night witnessed hicksville differently and saw the abuse against Johnny. These two were extremely important to Depp's case it left the defense scrambling. I honestly don't believe he would have won without it. TMZ aspects proved malice, Hicksville was a third party witness very little ties to either showing Amber all the characteristics of lying, exaggerating and abuse.
Forgive me if I don't give a shit what you think it says about me, based on the shit you're saying. "Decided favorite", lmao fuck off.
Why are you lot incapable of thinking "hmmm maybe there is some reason why people wanted him to win…" (*shock* maybe it was because her evidence was nonexistent and she was proven to constantly lie about everything :o wow)
That tweet is in context of the trial that tweet being in context of the trial is the problem if it was on its own and unrelated sure but its not. Trying to twist it says more about you than anything.
As a male victim of domestic abuse who took years to understand what was happening and getting out of that toxic relationship and who was scarred for life from it, it really hurts whenever I see takes like the ones you're talking about and this trial has really brought out the worst of them into the open.
