Johnny Depp won his defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard on Wednesday, and the jury awarded him $15 million in damages. Depp was awarded $10 million ...
The jury reached a verdict, and it is set to be read in about 90 minutes. "Someone who survived abuse and didn’t allow his name to be tarnished by lies," the user wrote. It sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated. I also hope that the position will now return to innocent until proven guilty, both within the courts and in the media. The comment section also celebrated the victory, with some writing "I'm so proud" and "Justice was served." Just before 2 p.m. ET, the hashtag "#JusticeForJohnnyDepp" began to trend with more than 40,000 tweets. It sets back the idea that violence against women is to be taken seriously. I hope that my quest to have the truth be told will have helped others, men or women, who have found themselves in my situation, and that those supporting them never give up. From the very beginning, the goal of bringing this case was to reveal the truth, regardless of the outcome. The jury also awarded Heard $2 million in compensatory damages. False, very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media, which triggered an endless barrage of hateful content, although no charges were ever brought against me. In interviews with NBC News on Wednesday, three PR and crisis communications professionals said they felt confident that Depp could get his big-screen acting career back on track.
The jury also found in favor of Heard, who said she was defamed by Depp's lawyer when he called her abuse allegations a hoax. Jury members found Depp should be ...
(Heard and Depp’s teams each blame the other.) He was also replaced as the title character in the third “Fantastic Beasts” spin-off film, “The Crimes of Grindelwald.” In the Virginia case, Depp had to prove not only that he never assaulted Heard, but that Heard’s article — which focused primarily on public policy related to domestic violence — defamed him. Both performers emerge from the trial with reputations in tatters with unclear prospects for their careers. He’d take my life from me,” Heard said in her final testimony. While the case was ostensibly about libel, most of the testimony focused on whether Heard had been physically and sexually abused, as she claimed. The verdicts bring an end to a televised trial that Depp had hoped would help restore his reputation, though it turned into a spectacle of a vicious marriage.
Following the verdict, which found that Amber Heard had defamed Johnny Depp in her 2018 op-ed, Depp released a statement on Instagram, thanking his fans and ...
“A number of things were allowed in this court that should not have been allowed, and it caused the jury to be confused,” Bredehoft said, noting that Heard was “demonized” by Depp’s legal team despite the “enormous amount of evidence” she and her attorneys presented. The actor then widened the scope of the trial’s impact, calling the findings “a setback” that “sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated.” She also brought in the issue of freedom of speech, concluding, “I’m sad I lost this case. “I’m heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband,” she wrote. Ryan Adams, who has faced his own allegations of sexual harassment, assault, and emotional abuse (allegations he has denied), commented on Depp’s Instagram, leaving a series of congratulatory emoji — a heart, raised hands, and the fire emoji. Heard was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages and $0 in punitive damages relating to Depp’s attorney Adam Waldman’s 2020 op-ed in The Daily Mail. Shortly after the verdict was made public, Depp, who was in England during the verdict, went to his typewriter to craft a statement. “All in the blink of an eye.” (He is apparently referring to the op-ed which was at the center of the trial, in which he is not named.) “False, very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media, which triggered an endless barrage of hateful content, although no charges were ever brought against me.” Addressing Wednesday’s verdict, Depp said in part, “The jury gave me my life back.

Johnny Depp's legal victory and the death of Roe v. Wade are part of the same toxic cultural movement.
This trial, the narrative goes, is a necessary corrective to the #BelieveWomen hashtag that trended in the heady early days of Me Too: The point is not to believe all women, but to believe all victims, including male victims. Meanwhile, the Me Too movement itself was a response to the election of Donald Trump, which came even after Trump was heard on tape boasting about sexually assaulting multiple women. Meanwhile, when a court found Amber Heard should be required to pay $15 million to a man who compelling evidence suggests abused her, the hashtag #AmberTurd trended on Twitter. This verdict is as much as to say that anyone who says the phrase “I was abused” can be sued as a liar, and is highly likely to have a chilling effect on other victims of domestic violence who might want to step forward. The official Twitter account of House Judiciary GOP celebrated with a victorious GIF of Depp in full Jack Sparrow regalia. The political action of the 1970s met the reactionary work of Phyllis Schlafly and her cohort, who killed the Equal Rights Amendment. The girl-power ethos of ’90s third-wave feminism gave way to the virginity-obsessed purity culture of the Bush era.
In this post-#MeToo moment, misogyny and celebrity go hand in hand.
Johnny Depp is being embraced as a hero in some quarters, but his victory extends even to those who will allow themselves to feel troubled by the outcome of the trial and then move on. And while he accused Heard of doing terrible things to him in the course of their relationship and breakup, the lawsuit wasn’t about those things. Some of us may wince a little when we watch “Pirates of the Caribbean” or “Donnie Brasco,” but we’ll probably still watch. The mobs of social media mobilize against women with special frequency and ferocity, often using the language of righteous grievance. That he came off as a guy unable to control his temper or his appetites was seen, by many of the most vocal social media users, to enhance his credibility, while Heard’s every tear or gesture was taken to undermine hers. His offscreen peccadilloes (the drinking, the drugs, the “Winona Forever” tattoo) have been part of the pop-cultural background noise for much of that time, classified along with the scandals and shenanigans that have been a Hollywood sideshow since the silent era. We want them to be bad boys, to break the rules and get away with it. A few years later, it seems more likely that they were sacrificed not to end that system of entitlement but rather to preserve it. The convention of courtroom journalism is to make a scruple of indeterminacy. He brought with him into the courtroom the well-known characters he has played, a virtual entourage of lovable rogues, misunderstood artists and gonzo rebels. I don’t mean that women always tell the truth, that men are always guilty as charged, or that due process isn’t the bedrock of justice. The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial was, from gavel to gavel, a singularly baffling, unedifying and sad spectacle.
Un jurado en Virginia, EE.UU., emitió un veredicto en el caso del actor Johnny Depp y su exesposa Amber Heard, pero una versión paralela del caso continúa ...
El periodista en la corte ve exactamente lo que usted ve en casa, el campo de juego se ha nivelado. La propia Amber Heard lo dijo este miércoles tras conocerse el veredicto: "Estoy aún más decepcionada por lo que significa este veredicto para otras mujeres. Y hay otra cuestión que ha sido expresada una y otra vez por las seguidoras mayoritariamente femeninas del caso. hay un aumento en la cantidad de perfiles no auténticos, pero es muy difícil saber quién está detrás de las cuentas falsas". Esta es una noticia en la que todos han tenido igual acceso al material original. Y no es sólo la sala del tribunal. El problema es probar quién está detrás de las cuentas falsas. Para Haider Ali, de Islamabad, Pakistán, esto es personal. "Como mujer negra en Estados Unidos, he experimentado eso...

After an explosive six-week libel trial followed by millions on social media and live TV, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard each face an uphill battle as they try ...
He said the case that captured the world's attention might just be a bellwether for people and corporations facing existential threats to their reputations and livelihoods. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has revealed that two more “Pirates” scripts are in development, but neither will include Depp’s Capt. Jack Sparrow, a role that earned the actor an Oscar nomination. He added: “I think it’s going to be easier for Johnny. For Amber, whether she’s innocent or guilty or whatever it is, it’s going to be difficult. Some observers with experience in high-profile cases believe Depp's decision to sue — even though it meant dragging his and Heard's personal lives through the mud — was a last-ditch attempt to bolster his star power after his failed London libel lawsuit against The Sun for describing him as a “wife beater." Heard, who was in the room for Wednesday's verdict, plans to appeal. And he is likely to still get work on indie productions like those that helped along his 38-year run. Heard has a mountain to climb,” said Eric Dezenhall, a crisis mitigator in Washington with no involvement in the case. Depp, who wasn't in court, said “the jury gave me my life back. But unlike rockers and stand-up comedians ensnared in #MeToo moments who can still earn through live shows, Depp and Heard need the crisis-averse studio machines to make big money. The jury awarded the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star more than $10 million. “If Depp keeps his expectations proportional and understands that he’s unlikely to hit his former heights, he can have a solid career if he takes things slowly. “Depp has a hill to climb.
Los casos de difamación en duelo entre Johnny Depp y Amber Heard llegaron a un final simple: ella lo difamó, pero ganó 2 millones en su contrademanda.
“Y hay una víctima de abuso doméstico en esta sala del tribunal, pero no es la Sra. Heard”. En un momento, Depp acusó a Heard de arrojar una botella de vodka que se rompió en su mano derecha y le cortó la punta del dedo medio durante una pelea que tuvieron en Australia en 2015. Esta no es la primera vez que Depp y Heard se involucran en una disputa legal. Moss dijo que se resbaló en unas escaleras después de una tormenta y se lastimó la espalda. Heard también alegó que Depp la atacó físicamente después de la Met Gala de 2014 y la dejó con lo que ella sospechaba que tenía la nariz rota. Johnny amenazó, me prometió, me prometió, que si alguna vez lo dejaba, me haría pensar en él todos los días de mi vida”. En 2021, Heard contrademandó a su exmarido por 100 millones de dólares, una cantidad que los argumentos finales de Heard revelaron que se trataba de enviar un mensaje. Durante su turno en el estrado de los testigos, Heard contó su versión de la historia. Tanto Depp como Heard subieron al estrado de los testigos dos veces cada uno durante el juicio, que fue seguido de cerca por las masas y muy discutido en las redes sociales. Hace retroceder el reloj a un momento en que una mujer que denunciaba y denunciaba podía ser avergonzada y humillada públicamente. Retrocede la idea de que la violencia contra la mujer debe tomarse en serio. “La gente quiere poner a mi bebé en el microondas y me lo dicen. “Me hicieron denuncias falsas, muy graves y criminales a través de los medios de comunicación, lo que desencadenó un aluvión interminable de contenido odioso, aunque nunca se presentaron cargos en mi contra.
En el tribunal surgieron los sórdidos detalles de una cruel relación de pareja y sus personalidades defectuosas, pero el juicio no era sobre eso.
Así que Amber y sus amigos regaron un poco de vino, desarreglaron el lugar, coordinaron sus historias bajo la dirección de un abogado y publicista, e hicieron una segunda llamada al 911 (línea de emergencia)". Han seleccionado algunos de sus 'hechos' engañosos como espada, apuntándolos contra el público y el Sr. Depp". "Estoy aun más desilusionada con lo que este veredicto significa para otras mujeres. Eso tiene que cambiar". La también actriz Amber Heard presentó una contrademanda por US$100 millones en la que argumentó que su exesposo la difamó en declaraciones públicas hechas a través de sus abogados que también tuvieron un costo para su carrera. Depp, estrella de la exitosa saga "Piratas del Caribe", demandó a Heard por US$50 millones y el jurado le dio la razón en las tres denuncias que interpuso, adjudicándole una indemnización de US$10,35 millones.
Depp won $15 million in court today, so what have we learned amidst the screaming?
Minutes after the trial ended, our inboxes began filling with PR offers for legal consultants to talk to, takes to mine, and even a list of bookmaker’s odds for questions like “Who will Amber Heard get engaged to next?” (Johnny Depp is, blessedly, at the bottom of the list.) It’s part of what made Saturday Night Live’s typically tone-deaf assertion that the trial is “for fun” so asinine, because none of this feels fun. At the risk of editorializing more than we’re going to editorialize super hardcore here in a minute, we’ll just go ahead and say it: It’s a good thing that Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are not married anymore. The details of the trial have become slippery and meaningless, even as its existence as The Content has become paramount. It’s the functional apotheosis of the principle that you’re not really alive in 2022 unless you’ve expressed an opinion on something—and the louder, less-informed, and more misogynistic, the better. The core of Depp’s case, money-wise, was that Heard’s allegations in her Washington Post op-ed cost him a lot of cash—which does, in loose terms, appear to be at least somewhat true. In case you somehow missed the screaming—exultant, despairing, confused, good old-fashioned “This is my voice at the height of its capacity for volume because I need to remind myself I exist,” etc., take your pick— the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial delivered its verdict today.
"Both of them will work again, but I think it will be a while before a major studio will consider them 'safe' enough to bet on," said former entertainment ...
Having watched the whole trial, I don’t think that he did any service to his children by airing all of this dirty laundry,” Ward said in an interview. But he said Depp also ran the risk of making those moments more memorable to the public than his film work. In evaluating Heard’s counterclaims, jurors considered three statements by a lawyer for Depp who called her allegations a hoax. It sets back the idea that violence against women is to be taken seriously,’’ she said in a statement posted on her Twitter account. It sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly humiliated. However, he lost that role and was replaced in a “Fantastic Beasts” spinoff.
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's dueling defamation trials came to an end on June 1. Court reporter Victoria Bekimpis looks back on what it could've meant for ...
A man who identified himself as Dan Kim, 26, stood outside the courthouse on May 27 with a white sign that read, “#ISTANDWITHAMBER.” “I don’t think it’s a big deal,” Kim said, referring to the smaller presence of Heard fans in contrast to Depp’s. “I think that sometimes it is disappointing to see some of the behavior of Johnny Depp fans. “One thing is for sure: I will never watch a Johnny Depp or Amber Heard movie for as long as I live,” another said. “The judge [would] rather have Depp fans sit in the courtroom over the press,” one of my colleagues told me. “How is this a fair trial?” During opening statements, fans behaved — everyone had been repeatedly warned that any breach of decorum would result in expulsion — but it’s hard to believe the jurors didn’t notice a bunch of Depp supporters packing the benches. “Any violation of this order may be found as contempt and will be punished accordingly.” On day one of the trial, Depp fans started showing up around 5 a.m., which isn’t quite overnight camping. “I’ve heard Amber’s stories and accusations that she’s been saying about Johnny Depp, and I just think he needs all the support that he can get, because I don’t believe anything she says,” one Depp supporter, Maryanne, told me. Asked near the end of the trial if they were excited that the crowds would soon be leaving, several employees smiled and responded “yes.” “Not you, just the crazies,” one security guard said. Another courthouse employee joked, “We’ve never had so much fun in our lives!” before commenting on the YouTube livestream of the trial and expressing pride “that our technology stood up.” “There will be no overnight camping on Courthouse grounds,” a court order mandated. “That’s all far from the usual tittle-tattle that happens when celebrities hit the court circuit.” I was wrong. “I do think the Schadenfreude element is huge here. As attorney Ben Chew left the building, dozens of people swarmed his black SUV, cheering as they jockeyed for a photo.
En el juicio Johnny Depp y Amber Heard, ella tendrá que pagarle más de 10 millones a su exmarido. Pero ¿Tiene el dinero? ¿Y que pasa si Amber Heard no puede ...
“Desde la perspectiva de la gestión de la reputación, no puede haber ganadores... Depp podría renegociar una reducción de la deuda con Heard, algo que no está claro aún si sucederá o no. Heard podría apelar para intentar obtener un juicio más favorable y reducir el costo monetario de la condena. Ella también podría tener la opción de presentar una bancarrota para intentar paliar la carga punitiva. Depp dijo que nunca golpeó a Heard y que ella era la abusadora, aunque los abogados de la actriz destacaron mensajes de hace años que Depp envió disculpándose con Heard por su comportamiento, así como mensajes profanos que le envió a un amigo en los que Depp decía que quería matar a Heard y profanar su cadáver. Según ha surgido a lo largo de seis semanas de juicio, la carrera de Heard se ha visto afectada por estos escándalos. Lo mismo, según el propio Depp expuso en el juicio, ocurrió con su carrera que ha ido a pique luego de que Heard dijera públicamente en 2018 que ella era la "imagen" de la supervivencia al abuso.
