“So I take it you are on Amber’s side in all this”

Nope

“but I can’t stand to see a woman betray and destroy a man just to advance her own career.”

LOL! Depp destroyed himself with his drugs, violence and insecurity.

“Name them.”

Are you claiming there are none?

"Depp destroyed himself with his drugs"

Yeah, that was discussed in the trial as well, which you said you didn't see. Fair enough. But the trial was about Amber's false claims, not the drugs.

“Several arrests for violence.”

Not domestic, that’s correct.

She on the other hand arrested for domestic violence.

And I want to point out your dishonesty or confusion.

I wrote:

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

Not sure Depp ever was.

You responded he was which is untrue, to our knowledge.

Me: “Several arrests for violence.”

You: Not domestic, that’s correct.

I take you are agreeing that there is ample evidence that Depp was a violent person.

Statement from the ‘victim’:

In 2016, Van Ree told E! News that Heard had been “wrongfully accused for an incident that was misinterpreted and over-sensationalized by two individuals in a power position.”

“It’s disheartening that Amber’s integrity and story are being questioned yet again,” Van Ree added. “Amber is a brilliant, honest, and beautiful woman and I have the utmost respect for her. We shared 5 wonderful years together and remain close to this day.”

You responded and I clarified in the next post. Why are you not mentioning that!

“I don’t have a lot of faith in his truthfulness”

Well, ignore his testimony and you still have testimony from more than a dozen other people, and photos, videos, and audio recordings that all show she was faking the injuries...

“Given Depp’s long history of violence...”

One other thing to think about. You can certainly say Depp has been violent before, but only towards men. He’s had plenty of romantic partners for decades, and not a single woman except Amber Heard has ever said he laid a hand on them.

Several have described him as violent drug-addicted possessive person.

....

In the United Kingdom, the burden of proof is on the party accused of libel – that is, The Sun had to prove that what it published about Depp was true. The judge concluded that “the great majority of alleged assaults” on Amber Heard by Johnny Depp had been “proved to the civil standard”. Of the fourteen alleged assaults heard in open court the judge found that twelve of them were proved on the balance of probability.

....

“There is evidence which I find compelling of witnesses who saw Ms. Heard with injuries to her face and who took photographs of these,” the judge said in the 2020 trial.

We’re not in the United Kingdom. In the good old U S of A, a jury found that the evidence showed Amber Heard was lying.

But I don’t really care about that, we were talking about YOUR assessment of the evidence, not the courts’.

I did not follow the trial and made no assessment of the evidence presented at the trial. I have made no comments on the verdicts.

My discussion has pertained to Depp’s history of violence and drugs and his unstable relationships. Characteristics that some of his admirers were unaware of.

His career was over due to him, not her. Look at the measley gross of his last movies.

City of Lies: In the United States and Canada, the film grossed $275,049 from 501 theaters in its opening weekend, a per-venue average of $549.

In the good old U S of A, a jury found that the evidence showed O.J. was not guilty.

Changing the question is not clarifying.

I’ve noticed you lie in most posts I’ve seen on this thread.
