It has nothing to do with assuming the accuser is lying.

Depending on the area, the evidence for successfully prosecuting a rape can vary. It also varies depending on how much the public in general trusts rape victims at that particular moment. Why? Because that’s the group of people you select the jury from. The first credibility decision of a witness or victim is always…

The part that saddens me? This shit has been getting worse in Brazil since the 1990s. It’s taking this long for it to feature in stories at all.

And why is a gun saving someone’s life news? I’ve heard this story a thousand different ways from a thousand different mouths. It happens every day.

Not just her legal team. Most people who are even mildly interested in it are.

This isn’t even the first mistake.

Yeah, and left them no choice about whose side they are on.

Eh. We’re pretty much discussing celebrity gossip where most people have made up their minds already. Sources and intelligent examination stopped mattering a couple of articles ago.

They are terrible.

That long-winded post I put in reply to this isn’t defending Depp. It’s showing how one group of people is abusing her trust in a break-down of how they did it. I’ve been trying to figure out where the sense of “something about this just seems wrong” that I’ve had for much of this time, and this statement by her legal…

Nah. I’m pretty certain eldritch abominations like Trump predate our universe.

What did that poor pheasant do in a previous life to deserve this? Was he Hitler?

I hope not.

Okay. Try to have fun.

The ass part is true.

It’s not just his publicists. Take look at that post where I do a breakdown of why I think her legal team is trying to make her look bad. By the end, you’ll be shocked at the level she’s been trolled by them.

ARE YOU FLIPPIN SERIOUS DUDE THE LADY’S BEEN AN ACCOMPLISHED ACTRESS FOR DECADES.

It’s not hairsplitting when I’m pointing out that “treating someone like they’re universally beloved” is a bullshit accusation to make against me.

Unfortunately, this statement by her legal team is not going to help matters any. I’ll show you what I mean, and why it is I think her legal team is actively sabotaging her. This is quite a long read, just to warn you.

There are no universally beloved public figures. I don’t mistake anyone for that. Even Jesus has his haters. And take a look at the shit King and Gandhi went through. And those are people who are a lot closer to the title than Depp will ever be.
