Defamation

THANK YOU GLORIA STEINEM!

It’s ABOUT TIME. Gloria Steinem and many other domestic abuse experts have come together in public support of Amber Heard. After Amber wrote an essay in the Washington Post about her domestic abuse (without naming her ex Johnny Depp)- he sued her for defamation and he WON. Steinem and 130 other experts and organizations published an open letter in which they agree that defamation suits are being MISUSED to SILENCE survivors. They also blasted social media for mocking Amber’s allegations of violence and abuse. (victim shaming) Anybody who read Depp’s revolting emails knows he was abusive. It has been five months since this appalling Virginia trial and we are delighted that Steinem and other experts have taken a stand. Amber moved to Spain with her daughter after the trial – now she can return with more confidence.

JOHNNY DEPP’S NO-WIN SITUATION

SO sad to see Johnny Depp doing exactly what he was advised NOT to do by all his “people.” His acting career is already in tatters, but he insisted on dragging his ex-wife Amber Heard back into the courtroom for a defamation suit, although she did NOT name him in her article about domestic abuse in The Washington Post. The problem for Johnny is that Amber’s defense will reveal all the grisly details about Johnny’s rampant alcohol and drug abuse, along with all those horrifying emails he sent describing Amber in awful terms and showing just how twisted his brain was during those times. He’s paying his lawyers a fortune and further diminishing his reputation. He can’t win, either way. But remember, he still has a music career to fall back on…

JOHNNY DEPP’S LAWYERS ARE THE HAPPY ONES

Things are looking worse and worse for litigious Johnny Depp. He’s set to go to court next month for his defamation lawsuit against his ex Amber Heard because she wrote an article for The Washington Post supporting women who come forward and talk about violence and abuse like she did, and how they can suffer from blacklisting and lost jobs for doing so, because men protect each other. Johnny Depp’s name was NEVER mentioned in the article but he took offense and, against advice, sued. Of course Amber countersued (she DOES have the right to free speech) and a female judge just made it easier for Amber to succeed. Johnny’s lawsuits are dimming his popularity even more than Amber’s abuse charges.
