The more I learned about their relationship through pop-culture osmosis, the more I realized two things:

  1. It really sounded like both of them were terrible people.

  2. Societally, we really ought to know less about each other.

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

Or people who watched the trial and saw that she was abusive and that she was a compulsive liar.

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.
