He is. And yet it doesn’t stop him, because he’s also rich enough to surround himself with people who tell him what he wants to hear.

Get sober and therapy. The man is to old and rich to blame anyone else for his problems now. 

He ruined his own career by showing up late to work and getting drunk and high at work. He also beat up producer on one of his movies and that law suit is still going forward as well. His own former agent said as much. The Disney rep that testified for Amber said they didn’t know about the op-ed and it had nothing to…

I saw all of Depp’s payroll witnesses say that. I saw their marriage counsellor say that she saw bruising and the spilt lip in pics and in person.

What did she lie about?

Welcome to the Screwfly Solution. Bit by bit women and women’s rights and opinions are chipped away by every compromise and dismissal and overturning of laws. The only thing it hasn’t gone full Screwfly Solution were the laws that protected women’s rights because people can’t or won’t be moral on their own.

This. Johnny Depp sank his own career without anyone’s help.

His career was already in the shitter due to his alcohol & drug abuse, chronic lateness, refusal to learn his lines (necessitating him being fed them through a headset), & assaulting a crew member on one of his sets. But go off I guess.

Johnny ruined his own career by being a drunken mess.

No believing women anymore. We had a brief reprieve, but now we’ve gone backwards. Apparently, the pro-depp twitter bots have all but disappeared since their job is done. I am hopeful that if she appeals, she will have some success. Depp was out for blood and he got it.

I keep seeing this take everywhere but what exactly do you think she lied about and where is the evidence of it?

Lying about what? It is possible for someone to be the victim of domestic abuse and also commit it themselves. Saying “I experienced domestic violence” in an op-ed isn’t lying. 

Look into coverage of his first defamation case in the UK. The judge found that Heard’s allegations were substantiated. 

can you point to any evidence? I will give you a hint, you can’t because there is none. there is evidence of abuse, enough of it that the appeal for this case is likely going to be pretty straightforward. That’s not even getting into how both Depp and Heard were ruled to have defamed when Heard’s main counterclaim was…

Except there isn’t strong evidence she lied in her op-ed - the issue at hand. What we have here is just demonstration that a jury of lay people will reliably buy into misogynist narratives about conniving women and imperfect victims.

I didn’t used to be, but the last three years have really turned me into an ardent man-hating feminist lesbian. I mean, I was a feminist and a lesbian before, but the rest of it is a consequence of watching men over the last three years.

Why are they specifically targeting Down Syndrome?

Yes, because politely asking and saying “mother may I,” has been so effective when it comes to women’s rights. I’ve watched nearly everything women fought for 50 years ago erode, and the best you can do is “lobby for change?” That’s what these wimpy damned organizations are doing - and sister, it ain’t working.

If the anti abortion crowd is ultimately triumphant, Planned Parenthood needs to have gone down swinging. Fighting middle of the road only feeds the fanatics who view it as a stepping stone for a complete ban.

I saw that too. It was both though, really. Serena didn’t have it together when the match started, and Halep beat her so efficiently that Serena never had a chance to get it together.
