I'm definitely not bedazzled. I thought they were an amazing couple at the time. I think she's one of the most beautiful women out there and he was a lucky man!

It really riles me than anyone who supports Depp is a depp head or fan or etc etc

I care not a lot for this Hollywood bunch. I'd hate their life.

Apart from Matthew mcconaughey.
I am a fan of his.

No it doesn’t, because in the context of the full sentence - there are the people bedazzled by Depp and there are the people who aren’t.

The people who aren’t, are much more accurate and balanced in their assessment of both sides.

I've never seen a Depp film, before the recent publicity I would have passed him in the street without recognising him. But Heard's lies were so blatant and pervasive that it is impossible to ignore them.

But no comment on Depp’s lies…

I have just read this article, it sums up perfectly my thoughts and feelings on this trial and also the wider ramifications. Link below for anyone interested.

You're completely ignoring the fact that those who don't believe Amber have never said the man's perfect. He absolutely isn't.

However, what she's done is abhorrent. She taken no accountability for her behaviour whatsoever. It's everyone else's fault, everyone is lying except me.

His shitty life and behaviour was laid bare in that trial for the world to see. He knew it and he still went ahead.

IrisVersicolor · 04/06/2022 21:30

No I’m not - I’m commenting on the fact that people have accused Heard of lies on an industrial scale most of which they have zero proof of.

There is little attention given to the lies Depp told under oath, his complete refusal to take responsibility for his behaviour his addictions, his violent smash ups, his employment of staff to smooth over and cover up for his behaviour. Zero.

TiddyTidTwo · 04/06/2022 21:31

And....his mother treated him appallingly. She beat him, taunted him "one eye" as he was born blind in his left eye.

But he forgave her, he looked after her, he took her to events and he paid for her care.

His daughter nearly died and it affected him greatly so he's spent time with sick children going as jack sparrow. He said he takes jack sparrow in a box with him everywhere just in case and he'd go anywhere he's asked. You've all seen the videos, surely? This is a long, ongoing thing he's done.

The man has empathy.

"There is little attention given to the lies Depp told under oath,"

Rubbish. You're doing it, lots are doing it, MSM are doing it and have done for years, they're still doing it. Focusing on every split hair whilst amber has told absolute porkers!!

TiddyTidTwo · 04/06/2022 21:36

"which they have zero proof of"

Apart from the live, televised trial

Strange emphaty that one when there's no cameras

Offs, you’ll be telling us how nice to little boys Michael Jackson was next.

True. Plenty of audio though

If that's the best you can do to counteract the debate then I don't know what else to say

Zero proof as per the evidence presented at trial.

TiddyTidTwo · 04/06/2022 21:42

"Zero proof as per the evidence presented at trial"

Same has her proof. Zero evidence other than doctored pictures, no medical records, old depositions from 2019 and an independent jury, unanimously, decided against her plus added $5m dollars punitive damages. They didn't believe her. Neither did I

IrisVersicolor · 04/06/2022 21:44

What debate, you’re just wittering about Jack sparrow in a box.

This level of discussion is of no interest to me, sorry.

TiddyTidTwo · 04/06/2022 21:51

Iris
That's fine. I'll always remember you by that Michael Jackson response 👍🏽

Miscfeminista · 04/06/2022 22:04

I'm disappointed with Courtney standing up for him just because he has done something she never asked him to(like wrote letters to her kid when she was battling addiction...I agree that was kind but also as she said JD did not know them closely)and a humane thing such as performing CPR on her. It actually looks like she wanted to say something along lines of"he helped me but..."and then it turned out like this, she didn't want to look ungrateful and probably hasn't researched all that much on Amber so went along with"she's lying but you know, give her some grace I been there too".

Christ Misc I've seen that before, I discounted it straight away and you know where I lie on this.

Miscfeminista · 04/06/2022 22:37

I never realised how many kids these Depp fans brought there. Absolutley inappropriate for kids to hear all the shit JD has said and details of sexual assault. Letting those kids carry signs and all just gross I am so embarassed for those parents

TiddyTidTwo · 04/06/2022 22:51

Misc

I agree with that.

Not Depp's fault though is it?

Miscfeminista · 04/06/2022 22:52

She doesn't have to be a feminist but she is at least well informed and got some fundamental things right(last interview and yeah I'm still binging stuff around the case because the verdict still doesn't make sense to me)

Well to be frank, given he could see fans will gather he could have easily asked them over media to not bring kids to hear these things that are age inappropriate as well as to stay away from acting like an angry mob when it comes to AH. Instead he has said nothing at all and just kept encouraging them by interacting like he's on a concert or something. Just shows how"kind"he is
