I’m surprised to find myself in this camp, too. If Ivanka published the note once received, I’d be praising the note and the donations, but having it put up by the folks who sent it? Nah. It’s one thing to stand by your convictions, it’s another to put it up on social media and make it a big thing.

I’m a little surprised to be feeling so much “Nope” over this.

This isn’t cool, it’s mean. Consider whether you guys would want your private purchases displayed by any conservative who wanted to grandstand.

Yeah, I wouldn’t want my purchase displayed by any conservative business that felt like free publicity. It’s a nasty move.

What a couple of dill holes. Sending thd note is fine, posting it for the world to see is a low class invasion of privacy.

Just an observation here: I’ve been many times to a crowded public pool or a crowded water theme park. I’ve seen many times lines to get in, lines for the diving board, lines for the slide.

I bet your husband has an attorney who cares more about money than people. Don’t get me wrong I like making money, but I do not want to do so at the expense of the mental health of clients, and the expense of children. Here’s what I see all the time, attorneys who brand themselves as “sharks” and fight tooth and nail…

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

Having desperately tried to do the right thing and make an ex take accountability for his actions via the legal route, I totally get why Amber has finally settled up.

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.

My only trial work was a DV protection-order case, and that was the hardest bit to get across to the client: you will never get the admission: “I perpetrated domestic violence upon you, and I’m sorry.”

Seriously. Who gives a shit if she donates to charity or not? Like she won the damn lottery or something.

Via shitty aquaintance who knows her, true. Also, he was threatening some pretty evil airing of laundry if she kept pressing, which would have been both expensive and humiliating to fight. No one is ever the haloed saint in a relationship, and no one is pure evil. There’s always some give and take on both ends. Still,…

I don’t understand why people have such a hard time understanding victims who accept settlements. It’s extremely difficult to get “guilty” verdicts in domestic violence cases (and sexual assault cases), or even for victims to be awarded large amounts of money in divorce cases when they provide substantial evidence of…

My reading of this is that 1) she hasn’t had to take back any of her accusations, just can’t make more going further. 2) “Neither party has made false accusations for financial gains” seems like a win on her side, since at the very least the joint statement is that what she said wasn’t to make $$$ (which many people…

Amber isn’t exactly rolling in dough, it’s very likely she couldn’t afford to drag this out much longer. Even if she donated 10% of that 7 million, that can do a hell of a lot of good.

It’s a weird detail, because frankly she shouldn’t *have* to give all that money to charity. $7 million becomes a lot smaller considering the legal fees will come out of that amount. And whether or not you believe Depp was abusive, he does have substance abuse problems and it was a toxic relationship. Anyone who’s…

I give it about a month until he finds another pretty blonde actress/model. It seems like many (maybe even most) women don’t care about the abuse or his drug habit and alcoholism.

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.

So much to read into....
