This is really nobody's business, but Johnny got the circus he wanted for this. TBH I'm glad he won, but again...it's really nobody's business but theirs.

The media will enforce it's narrative no matter what, but on the Internet informal measurements of public sentiment have been dramatically and overwhelmingly in Depp's favor.
Hell, in public in general. Depp was met with enthusiasm when he turned up on stage with Beck in the UK. All the quotes in the media were about how happy/excited people were to see him.

Media Op-eds have really.screwed the pooch on this one. And I'm all for it; burn them all down. If I want shitty opinions and to share my own shitty ones, I'll come to the likes of here.

The whole thing centres around defamation, aka. lies made public detrimental to one’s image. It needs to be played out in public to prove/disprove the defamation because it is inherently public at its core.

She wrote an article about him in the public space that damaged his image and reputation. They are both public figures. It literally is everyone's business.

EDIT: oh i see someone else already mentioned that.

They went public with trial.

Thier choice.

Why? Same as any big trial, the money to cover it.

penance. never studied law-huh? We have to as teenagers.

She can come again on the same charges is slightly-altered.

Costly I grant you indeed without a win but first judgement sets premise

Awards are done on past cases.

EDIT: forgot to include my fee, this case i'd be kind and only 500k.

One of the jurors posted this video and answered some Tik Tok questions - obviously wishing to remain anonymous.
They knew she was fucking crazy from minute 1 lol and the constant looking over at them turned them off completely.



Damn, can this guy get in trouble for talking about it? Would love to see like an hour interview with one of them and their thoughts throughout the whole trial.

Add majority report on the shit media list.


Turned off at the start when she started gaslighting at full speed. Truth only matters if it advances your political agenda it seems.

Also apparently none of these fucking morons covering this shit followed the trial…. “I didnt follow the trial but” lol

The same people who take pride in dragging and canceling people now want to get high and mighty about how Amber Heard is being treat. They are mad that she is being treated the same way a canceled man is being treated. They even treat some women this way. JK Rowling was treated way worse than Amber for simply having an opinion but none of them were crying for her. They don't like that one of their own is getting a taste of her own medicine.

So Elaine has done at least two interviews now, it seems Morgan Tremain got this bitches number spot on.

Enjoy your 15 minutes Elaine, if there is an appeal, which I doubt, you won't be in part 2. Turd is not going to activate the option contract.

All these so called professional news and media outlets are so concerned with the 'message' that this trial sends to other women and use it to discredit Depp's win. What they fail to realise is that the message they are thereby sending to men is that no matter what, no matter the evidence, men can't be the victim. It's appaling.

A lawyer channel interviewed that guy. He said he was terrified on the stand. Didn't come across at all.

All of the sudden cancel culture is unacceptable.

They're right for the wrong reasons.

Elaine is going around doing these interviews is hilarious. Definitely was talking about herself when it came to 15 minutes of fame. She's probably making it worse for herself.

Don't be too judgemental over just a few words in his bio that you don't like. The extent of his character extends far beyond that.
I don't care enough about the guy to be harshly judgemental, but if you have that bullshit in your bio, kinda show what type of people you want to impress or that surrond you.

I would never put that shit in my bio because i don't know anyone who care about that.

And tbh, if you have that shit in your bio, you are validating his use as a normal thing for all the crazy lunatics out there, especially if you are a famous person like this guy.

Mate... I have some bad news for you...

I'm an idiot? I agree.

Generally I don't fall for fakes, so pretty embarrassing on my part.

Still hilarious though.

I turned it off before he said it was fake at the end. Was just a video someone linked, nothing else.

I really just thought it was funny. Had enough of watching cases live after OJ.

Time-zone dude, not stayed up for anything since Mike Tysons' early fights as a kid, oh and GOT.

Watched both get knocked the fuck-out, live.

I like Momoa for what it's worth. Just the expressions in court matched so well.

Now what do you want to say when I've admitted to being duped by some some dumb YouTube video?

What I find scary about deep fakes is that the government can use it to produce fake evidence if needed. When the technology becomes that good it can be used for bad. I know off topic and I don't blame you if you think it's just some crazy conspiracy theory I'm sprouting

Oh I believe you for sure dude. Have been so many examples already. I remember when they started doing it to porn for celebs, was hard to tell the difference and that was a long time ago.

Hell even used in film now. I remember the Reddit thread of (apparently) a co-creator. Was wild and scared the shit out of me for the same reason. Someone linked it, I hate Reddit, prefer forums. Format just annoys me.

So I did some digging on the tech, can't remember anything though as was so long ago. Back when it was big news initially anyway. Was made open-source I do remember.

Yet many a weird wank was had! (Felt guilty, so never looked them up again).

This isn't even a deep fake though. It's splicing video from separate sources and then dubbing over the audio.
