And her career is over.

No. It just goes into the next phase, "reality" TV. The Kardashians show there's money in being shameless if you are pretty and do it right.

Even women who aren't so pretty can parlay the right relationship into something more. Do you think that Arianna Huffington would have been as successful as Arianna Stasinopoúlou? Good return on being the beard for a wealthy losing gubernatorial candidate.

“Always liked his movies. Never thought he was a wife-beater, “


Johnny Depp was physically abusive to Amber Heard. People accuse his ex-wife for his actions by saying she ‘egged him on’ so they can still enjoy the fandom fantasy of who he is. Just like his friends and fans claimed his rages and assaults in the past were “just Johnny being Johnny,” merely the kind of “outbursts they have come to expect on occasion from an actor who can be as otherworldly as the character he played in Edward Scissorhands.”

Just like people blamed Mel Gibson’s ex when he hit her, or the alcohol he drank when he called a cop “sugar-tits”. Just like people claim Mia Farrow lied so they can still watch Woody Allen movies in the pleasant denial that he raped his adopted daughter. Just like people have always blamed the victim and given the abuser a pass.

I found it very interesting

Depp is nice guy but alcoholic with grievous childhood issues ....like many creative types very sensitive

Heard is a classic attractive shrew

Much smarter and clever and volatile than him

And she lorded over him with her ferocity while he retreated usually

Borderlines don’t like when u retreat

Classic

He was maligned and justice is served

In this woke bullshit era of #metoo they threw her a bone

Depp won all around

Vindicated his career will rebound

I found it entertaining to watch

I can’t deal with doom and gloom and Ukraine ignorance of facts here is just mid numbing

The trial was like a metaphorical Valium for my brain

Plus it made my rib happy

“We quarrel sometimes but nothing like those nuts”

True but my ex wife was a Brasilian Heard...only hotter

“The guy probably get 10 times that for doing a movie.”

He got $3 million for his last in 2020.

Who films and records each other’s fights

In a 15 month marriage

26 years faithful here before scolds chime in

“Tell the world, Johnny, tell them, I, Johnny Depp, a man, I am a victim too of domestic violence, and see how many people believe or side with you.”—Amber Heard

Well, he told them. And they believed him.

“How could the jury both find the allegations that Herd claims were a hoax, and find for Depp?”

There was a claim (by Depp) and a counterclaim (by Heard). Depp won on every count of his claim, and Heard lost on every count of her counterclaim, except for one.

The one count she won on was about a statement that said she and her friends made one call to police, who didn’t see any injuries or damages, and left, and then Amber and her friends trashed the place and spilled wine and called the police a second time.

At trial it was demonstrated that both of the calls to police were made before the police first showed up, even though a second visit by police was dispatched hours later. So that statement actually was proven to be false. I think this was a compromise by the jury, to get every one to vote unanimously, they agreed to concede this one point to Heard, because it was proven false, even if it wasn’t really proven to be done maliciously.

“Depp gets the 5.350 million, and has to give back 2. Net 3.35 mill.”

No, he gets 10.35 million and gives back 2.

“She’s a nutcase. Sure looks like she married him and planned the whole thing as a shake-down.”

Worse. Trying to get it all as a widow of a drug addict who od’d.

He had to fight her because she cost him about $100 million in income through lost opportunities. There were at least three movies in the pipeline that he had but lost when the allegations came to light.

People kept telling me I should get married.

I just found a woman that already hated me and gave her half my stuff, saved a lot of trouble that way.

“then tried to claim he forgot what the question was.....”

That moment was pure gold when the judge said “we can have the court reporter read it back then” and you could see he was dying inside.

She was arrested for physical abuse of her female “partner”.

Not sure Depp ever was.
