He's already getting star treatment by having his case heard right now. It's not even a criminal case.

From the Guardian:

[quote] Johnny Depp’s libel trial has been described as “galling” by lawyers at a time when the criminal justice system is struggling with a massive backlog, and deeply sensitive cases are being handled remotely. One barrister questioned why Depp’s case had been allowed to proceed in person at the High Court in London when she was having to deal over the phone or by Skype with proceedings for a child at risk of being removed from their parents.

I think he’ll lose too, but he’s taking Amber down with him, which I’d imagine was his goal the whole time.

Amber's still dating dykes, R52. That means that she hasn't learned a lesson: she's still taking a regular beating.

I think he's happy he dragged Amber through the mud. She has fared badly from this. He tarnished his own reputation, but I think he'll always have work - maybe not leading man roles, but work he'll have. Amber, on the other hand, is very pretty but forgettable.

by Anonymousreply 54September 7, 2020 3:25 AM

Amber wouldn't have a career without Depp.

And let's remember that she's such a grifter that she's used his supposed "abuse" as a way to keep her name in the media, and even head up anti-violence/women's groups. Even though she 1) beat him/tortured him (which is pathetic on his part) and 2) is known to have beaten ex-girlfriends.

She's a dyke, so she loves fist fights.

She is an utter fraud. Her career was made by her marriage to him. And she has been trying to keep it going by damaging his image, which damages his career.

She's a good looking Bari Weiss: if she gets cancelled, then it's only a form of karmic justice, as she never should have had a career of any note in the first place.

The question remains, R58: how can cleanliness be your mode of attack against Depp when you're in full spin for a woman that literally shits the bed?

by Anonymousreply 61September 8, 2020 3:34 PM

I suppose the irony is this: Depp could clean up. And was once good looking, at least.

Nothing is going to make Heard's Girlfriends/dyke task force look hot. Look at those women. They're ugly.

Funny how lesbians seem to know how inherently miserable their situation is. Thus, being unclean is seen as being worse than being horribly unattractive on a genetic level. That's one hell of a confession from the Dyke Board of Communications. Thanks, girls.

The lesbians are full of hatred for any and all men, and will thus attack as a hive. We're seeing that in this thread: constant attacks on Depp while they defend this miserable lez. Gay men should take note: lesbians are not friends.

And we know what a grifter Heard is: after all, if she hated taking beatings, why is she with lesbians? This is a demo that is known for having the highest rate of domestic abuse cases. And Heard herself is a statistic: she has been busted for beating another woman.

Similarly, lesbians have a huge rate of alcoholism, yet the lesbians in this thread taunt Depp for his issues with the bottle. Both things Heard is after Depp for publicly -- substance abuse and woman beating -- makes up the culture of lesbianism.

Makes you wonder, why was it such a big deal that Depp supposedly beat her when considering the demographic she broadly belongs to, and the direct fact that she has beaten another woman? Simple: because she could make her career off of constantly whining about what Depp did to her. This has also allowed her to pay for Io's sex change, and fake it as a domestic abuse spokesperson, even though she has a history of domestic abuse (of women and men, ironically).

There's probably more evidence of her beating Depp -- including her own recorded or transcribed confessions to the effect -- than Depp beating on her.

What a disgusting man-hating dyke. Without any ability to get anywhere without a man's Q Rating. The funniest part? She has an entire cast of pathetic women around her that needed Depp to take care of them financially, from Heard's sister to Tasya to Io. All a bunch of losers, that simultaneously hate the man that they took cash and room & board from.

Typical hateful fish. Talentless, witless and dumb enough to attempt biting off the hand that feeds them. Literally, in her Heard's case.

Talk about shitting where you eat. Or in Heard's case, where you used to be paid to fuck and sleep.

Carry on, dears.

We essentially only know of these people because of Depp. They're parasites without any talent or worth of their own.

Obviously, Io is a very sane individual. Much like all the witless, misandrist dykes -- R80 as a great example -- that vent their hatred of men while hanging out on a gay men's board.

One last reminder: Heard's a grifter and her girlfriends are hideous, talentless hacks that also stole from Depp (who has more talent and money than all of them, even in his animal-like condition); when this was stated, it bothered R80 enough to respond but it couldn't really find anything of merit to defend Heard with @ R69. Funny how even Heard's Dyke Defense Force can't really deny these things, instead they try to avoid the issues through witless lesbo attacks.

The usual.

Maybe R80/R69 is in search of a dick as well: either from sex or from a sex change. Seems so many lesbians have penis envy, as this one has already made clear.

Dear, I'm an insatiable bottom with a tiny cock. Men fuck me nightly while reaching around and milking it vigorously in West Hollywood. You should drop by sometime to witness this, it's so clear that you have a penis envy.

This doesn't change the fact that Amber Heard is a grifter surrounded by man-hating dykes so talentless that they had to steal from Depp through Heard's marriage to him. This after all is what sets you off, but that you have zero ability to discredit: it's evident that this is the case.

And the secondary point remains: if having a small penis is shameful, what does being an ugly lesbian -- that often is mistaken for man, anyway -- with no penis at all add up to? By your own logic, you have a very big problem.

The verdict is expected next week

Johnny Depp’s highly publicized libel case is nearing its final act. A verdict will be given on Nov. 2 for the lawsuit filed by Depp against the publisher of British tabloid The Sun over an article accusing the actor of assaulting his then-wife, actress Amber Heard.

A hearing will not be held when judge Andrew Nicol provides his verdict in writing next week, Britain’s judicial office said Tuesday in its announcement. The verdict comes three months after July’s headline-making three-week trial in London that saw Depp, 57, deny ever hitting a woman, and saw Heard accuse the actor of committing multiple violent acts.

The Sun’s April 2018 article at the center of the lawsuit painted Depp as a “wife-beater," and the newspaper’s defense in the libel case referenced 14 alleged incidents of violence by the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star. Depp named both News Group Newspapers, which publishes The Sun, and Dan Wootton, the executive editor of the tabloid, in his lawsuit.

He has contended that Heard, whom he was married to from 2015 to 2017, was the aggressor during their marriage, and said her claims against him have “been a constant issue in my casting" as he pursues acting jobs. “These sick claims are totally untrue,” Depp asserted in a written statement in July, responding to Heard’s accusations. The allegations made by Heard, who appeared in court in July but was not on trial herself, included claiming that Depp once hurled 30 bottles toward her, as if they were “grenades or bombs.”“Johnny, when he was clean and sober, could be a wonderful person, generous, loving,” Heard said at the time. “He’s a remarkable man when he’s like that and I loved him. The other side of him was a monster but I always held out hope he would get clean and sober.” Depp, who acknowledged his drug use, claimed Heard, 34, once slugged him with a “haymaker” punch and described an acrimonious marriage between them.

During the closing arguments of July’s trial, a lawyer for The Sun accused Depp of “overwhelming evidence of domestic violence or wife-beating behavior, cataloged over a three-year period.” “Permeating all of the evidence in this case is the character of Mr. Depp himself — his well-documented evidence of violence and destruction over his adult life which have occurred when he was under the influence of drink and drugs,” lawyer Laura Wass said at the time.

Depp and Heard, whose films include “Pineapple Express” and “Zombieland,” met when they worked together on the 2011 comedy movie “The Rum Diary.”

The incels at Reddit are in mourning today. Early on in the case there were daily posts on how mean Amber Heard was to pwoor wittle Johnny.

Fake lavender marriage. Both gay. Simple case of blackmail.

The vast majority on Twitter are canonizing Depp as a male abuse survivor and vilifying Heard as a gold digging abusive Jezebel.

Go figure

If he's smart, he'll drop that American lawsuit ASAP.

But he's not smart, so he won't.

Twitter is populated by MRA incels/trancels just like Reddit. No shock they’d side with an abusive, straight guy, since they are all abusive straight guys.

Maybe they’ll both go away now.

Ever since Tumblr took away porn all the incels infected other social media sites and now we get transphobia and the "innocence" of Johnny Depp.

I'm glad the judge called out Depp for the abusive piece of shit that he is. I hope this puts the final nail in his Hollywood career.
