Oh, no problem. It’s hard to keep track when there are so many comments!

The person she should be apologizing to is Biden who was falsely accused of slamming a former staffer Tara Reade against a wall, lifting up her skirt and fingerblasting in a hallway of the US Senate building in the early 90's. Esther, despite massive red flags in Tara’s story and no contemporaneous corroboration, repor…

Agreed. I find the cynicism toxic. Rather than genuinely taking a hard look at certain issues and striving for meaningful change, the current staff generally prefers performative denunciation as its overarching ethos. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot wrong with this world that absolutely should be denounced. But,…

Yes! That’s exactly how this feels. Let’s bitch about a situation’s down side rather than somewhat objectively discussing the whole situation.

Yeah I cannot imagine that M&H grabbed the mic. They probably told Liz and Charles and the news spread. (Or, you know, she was seen not drinking alcohol and someone pestered her into blurting it out... or is that just my family’s method?)

Every time I read “cool girl” I remember Gillian Flynn’s evisceration of the concept via Amy in “Gone Girl”.

For the issue at stake in this trial, re: the Sun’s headline calling Depp a “wife-beater”, I think there’s enough evidence to support that conclusion.

Here are some of his closing arguments that I found interesting:

For me, it comes down to this: He has many people disputing her accounts of abuse, including her say9ing she had a broken nose and split lip and the makeup artist is saying nope, didn’t see any of this. These are first hand accounts, whilst everything Amber is presenting is couched in ‘Amber told me’.

The tone of the articles on this here are bizarre. Is it possible that Depp abused Heard? Sure. Is Heard also on tape admitting to hitting Depp and telling him no one would believe him? Yes. Has Heard been accused of domestic violence by former partners? Yes.

Oh yes, I agree. Narcissistic and Borderline personality traits all the way. The audio recordings paint a shocking picture of the dynamics in the relationship: she belittles him, berates him, gets mad at him for walking away from confrontations, tells him to take a xanax when he starts defending himself, admits to…

Totally agree. And even if there was mutual abuse, only one party decided to go on a media campaign and air their dirty laundry for clout. It’s backfiring badly on her at this point though.

I sympathise. I once worked at a place where there was a pathological liar. She was also a narcissistic psychopath, and she nearly wrecked the entire business. Right from the start, I tried to avoid her like the plague, when I couldn’t, I just sat there rolling my eyes at her obvious bullshit. Like the time she…

Yeah, when she continually calls doctors and everyone else liars, then says, ‘I don’t want to call anyone a liar’. It’s all kind of mind-blowing and quite frankly, I’m reminded of a friend I used to have who would do pretty much the same thing.

I pretty much believed Depp had done the things he was accused of until I listened to the audio of Heard mocking him that nobody would believe that a man was a victim of domestic violence and excoriating him for leaving rooms when she got violent with him. If we accept that men can be victims of domestic abuse and…

I feel the same. Also not sure how to feel about her close friend Amanda de Cadenet withdrawing her support as she was suppose to appear in court this week in defence of Amber.  https://pagesix.com/2020/07/17/tv-host-says-amber-heard-misled-her-about-johny-depp-abuse/

Or maybe he is not a “wife beater” and he wants to confront his abuser. I see it as brave.

So I’m just suppose to believe a serial abuser and liar with no witnesses and just take her word, nah.

She also said that instances of abuse happened “behind closed doors,” and therefore Depp’s employees did not see it take place.
