Johnny Depp wins (mostly) case against Heard

[Hamlette]

just heard on TV. He's awarded 10M she is awarded 2 M

what a stupid way to resolve disputes like this.

[avebury]

1. He also got $5.0 million in damages as well. nt

[Sanity Claws]

2. Which was reduced to the statutory cap of $250,000

[Hamlette]

3. reduced to 350,000 by statute

4. Actually, not really. Heard smeared Depp, painting him as a domestic and sexual abuser when he

wasn't. This is a #MeToo without a "me too." She was the abuser. He's no angel but he wasn't the monster she said and that isn't fair. He had to clear his name publicly because his career had been ruined. And this was more than just two rich people fighting each other. Men have rights, too, and Heard did a massive disservice to true victims. I'm glad the truth came out.

[we can do it]

5. Fully agree.

[Scottie Mom]

11. Totally agree.

I watched a good bit of the trial. Clearly Amber was not telling the truth and Depp had witnesses who factually contradicted her statements. IMO, the jury had no choice but to find she knowingly made false statements with the intent to defame her former spouse.

6. Both of them getting some kind of award...

Sounds to me like the court saying, both of you get cookies now go away and stay away.

[Mr.Bill]

9. Except one of them gets more cookies. n/t

12. Oh well...

Guess he was the lesser asshole of two.

8. Who the hell cares?

Let’s worry about Ginnie Thomas

[Mr.Bill]

10. I'm all for that. n/t

[2naSalit]

13. I'm all for that...

I never watched a second of that melodrama, I could have spent the time watching WWE and been just as well informed by the end of it, perhaps more informed.

Now Ginni Thomas is definitely a problem to be dealt with and soon.

14. What Burns Me

is she claims to be a victim ala the meetoo movement
