I really doubt he married her for love too.

From Parker’s interview with Deadline (via NYMag): “I will not relive that period of my life, every time I go under the microscope.”

Right? Or like, a community center. Or the study area at a university library. All circa 1992.

I don’t give a fuck what she does with the money.

He has escaped punishment from the state as they were unable to prove he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. All other punishments via public opinion and acceptable so long as he is not libeled or slandered.

But all this to say, I’d wager there a scores of men the same age as Parker who wouldn’t consider themselves rapists, but in reality they are.

They were clearly a toxic combination and I’m sure she probably has some issues of her own. But Depp clearly abused her and whatever personality/mental issues she may have doesn’t absolve him of being violent towards her.

Was it widely accepted that if you got drunk and went to a guy’s room, where you fell asleep alone in a room while he was in another room, that was consent to not just him penetrating you, but him inviting two of his friends to penetrate you along with him?

I wouldn’t claim to know exactly why particular rape victims report or don’t, but Parker’s victim’s attack was different from the common experiences you mention in a few ways: it involved being penetrated by multiple men at the same time, one of whom was a stranger; she went to bed alone (the men were in another room…

his co-writer was found guilty, and only later acquitted because he and parker intimidated the witness so she wouldnt testify again. doesnt that speak a lot about his feelings on this whole thing/rape as a whole that he’s still friends and working with the guy?

When Kobe Bryant, hardly a paragon of virtue, settled with his victim, he issued a public apology that saw him saying that, while he truly believed the encounter was consensual, after listening to her testimony he understood how she felt that it was not. While that is not entirely satisfying and I’m not sure how both…

I don’t think she should give all the money to charity. I don’t think her acting career is going to survive this.

That or she leaked it force his hand to settle. Regardless of why the video was leaked, I'm glad this is over for her. This wasn't an entertaining celebrity divorce, it was sad and I hope she has a happy life. I hope Johnny gets serious help and fixes his life, though he is likely a lost cause.

I think the “Neither party has made false statements for financial gains” statement speaks volumes. The implication is that Amber is telling the truth and that is more culpability than I thought Johnny (and his PR team) would ever allow.

... a sudden change of events, given both that graphic and violent videos and pictures of Depp have leaked online in the past week, and that there was a great deal of drama about Heard’s deposition over the weekend.

She can donate $700 or $7mil and still be true to her word. It’s her money. I don’t know why she has to be the Most Virtuous Woman Ever because she was beaten by her husband.

There were some blind gossip items out there that Heard was start to run relatively low on cash. She probably couldn’t afford a drawn-out legal battle, so while she might have wanted the acknowledgement of DV she ultimately took the settlement without it.

i guess that’s why she leaked the video. she knew once the divorce was settled she wouldnt be allowed to talk about it and people would be like ‘she settled she must be lying!’

I can never understand how someone so rich, with access to more resources than 90% of the rest of the planet can let themselves go to shit, both physically and mentally. This dude is brutal looking. He’s not well. Detox, man. Take a bath. Those brown cigarettes are not your friend. Get a grip. Don’t hit people. (Tough…

Except is more money worth it? She’s being harassed left and right and I’m sure she just wants this all to be over.
