My family can’t get over the crocodile thing. Every time it is on the news it starts another round of WHY WOULD YOU GO IN THE WATER AT CAPE TRIBULATION. AT NIGHT. I don’t know if you’ve been there but there are literally signs everywhere. I would rather go swimming in shark infested ocean than even stick my pinky toe…

Yeah, I have no idea if she was paying close enough attention to her child but regardless it shouldn’t be possible for a child to get into a gorilla’s enclosure no matter how determined they are.

This is my feeling about it too. I’m glad the kid is ok but somebody has to be responsible for this and it’s not the child or the gorilla.

Not that I’m defending Depp in any way, but re: her dating a 25 year old, it’s absolutely possible that her parents absolutely hate it but ‘let’ her because they would rather keep her close and be in the loop if something horrible does go wrong. When I was a teenager a 15yo friend of mine started dating a 26yo and she…

It’s not at all that she’s weak and can’t be trusted, it’s that her story — which I completely believe to be true — is largely irrelevant to the question of whether or not he abused Heard. He can simultaneously be a wonderful father and an abusive husband, which is one of the awful and confusing facts I wish people…

Yeah, I remember my uncle as a jolly giant who always spoiled us kids, took us fun places and gave us lots of presents. I didn’t find out he was also a verbally and possibly physically abusive drunk and problem gambler til I was an adult.

I think a lot of people aren’t so much lying to each other, they’re lying to themselves. I see people do this all the time. People need to come up with more acceptable reasons for their instinctive gut reactions, which are usually based on deepseated, socially encoded feelings they didn’t even realise they had.

You mustn't know many addicts, plenty of them go through sober cycles . Their illness isn't logical.

I'm also perpetually covered in mystery bruises. Being extremely clumsy does not help.

Right. There’s nothing she could do that some people won’t take as evidence of duplicity.

Yeah, he hasn’t really been ingratiating himself to the public. I know they still love him in Japan and China though, which are huge cinema markets. We’ll have to wait and see — cautiously optimistic.

People seem to think the bruises themselves are fake.

Right. I’m absolutely novice when it comes to make up but I was still able to cover up an accidental black eye for work. She’s been on movie sets for years, watching them cover up every imperfection on her body. No way she doesn't know how to cover bruising.

Your FATHER. I'm so sorry.

Right and let’s look at his reaction to the dog smuggling thing — he was told he put the wellbeing of millions of living things at risk and his public response has been that he’s pissed off a politician wasn't more polite about it. Absolutely screams narcissism.

Right, I was so baffled when I realised people were using that as evidence of his innocence. You mean the photo where she has clearly unnaturally spread her hair over her eye to cover it up? Really?

I would equally believe the bruises didn't show up until later and that the cops are lying.

I’m not sure, a LOT of Australians turned on him because of his response to the whole dog smuggling thing, it really surprised me. I think his allure might be wearing off because he’s looking so haggard lately, so when he’s being a dick it’s not mysterious and cool, it just reminds you of your drunk uncle at…

She did a second line for topshop a year or two ago so she’s probably moving more in that direction.

I told a guy in Gawker comments that I got a similar injury — I gave myself a black eye with my phone — and it took almost 24 hours for the bruise to develop. The guy bit my head off and angrily told me that my anecdotal evidence didn’t make me an expert in physiology. These people don’t want to understand because…
