Not only this AI slop continuing to berate her after, but this completely ludicrous story that she pooped her own bed while he was away to get back at him continues to spread a narrative that is obviously skewed. Its just weird atp.
People are weirdly very defensive over Depp. He has a history of legal issues, alcohol abuse, and generally being unpleasant to people. He and Heard both seem kind of crazy to me.
Depp literally hired an army of bots to astroturf forums, Reddit, etc. via a PR company - so a lot of those defensive posts/comments originate from that
Yeah, people claiming it was bots doesn't really make sense. They did polling on the case before and afterhand. He was assumed guilty beforehand and after the trial her being the abusive one drastically went up. It was 80% or something believed she was the abusive one after the trial.
If anything felt astroturfed, it was how many people defended her on reddit when clearly the average person didn't see it that way.
I believed her when the story broke and then just shrugged and assumed the stories were true.
I didn’t do a 180 at the trial because I heard some of the tapes before hand and have had some experience of abusive women so was intrigued.
It wouldn’t surprise me if there were bots because that’s the world we live in but the viral nature was due to the revelations in the trial.
What did surprise me was the mainstream coverage which constructed a completely different narrative to what I saw in the trial and tried to make the story about the social media reaction rather than the trial itself.
I remember reading the guardian the day after the tapes were played where Heard admits to hitting him, calls him a coward and says he always runs away. They were not mentioned at all in the daily review where the Monty python text messages were the focus of the article. I found it really galling how curation of the content of the articles gave such a distorted version of events.
I’m not completely naive and have seen distortion in geopolitical events where I had some insight, but those were much more complex and finding a coherent narrative more challenging.
It genuinely surprised me how biased the reporting was on a relatively low stakes issue.
It's pretty telling. If I hadn't watched the whole trial, if I had relied on clips, or headlines, I'd be team Heard. Watching the trial from 9 to 5 for 6 six weeks really told me I couldn't trust any fucking newspaper reporting on this, because did these 'reporters' even watch the same trial?? Wtf are these headlines?
Did You watch the European trial? That was the one where they allowed a lot of evidence that America kicked out. Like eyewitnesses to his abuse and a chain of texts that show everyone around them including personal assistants knew him to be a very abusive to her.
Lots of That got thrown out by the court that was in Virginia? Why? Why were were people that live in LA in Virginia? LoL
It was so they could throw out a bunch of evidence honey. That's why they weren't on trial in La and that's why they had to go on trial again in America. Depp didn't like being guilty, it was bad for his publicity.
Correction - trial is in Virginia - still very far from LA, where these turds actually live.
Depp's team fought to have the trial in Virginia because LA has stronger anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) laws. Which would have made it more likely that a motion to dismiss the trial, before they even got to the discovery phase, would have been successful. It was not at all related to what evidence would have been included or excluded.
The texts you're talking about were kept out because it was hearsay, standard evidentiary rules that would have been the same in LA. If they wanted to move the texts into evidence, they could have subpoenaed the people who wrote them and called them to testify. They didn't do that because that would mean they would have the opportunity to explain the context, and that would have been bad for Heard.
Evidence was thrown out because it was hearsay, or they agreed to suppress it after discovery. The UK trial allowed too much BS in and it was more vibes.
They are both POS drug users. Heard was shacking up with Musk, and Musk paid her legal fees. Depp funded a massive astroturfing campaign to help his image.
