Dr Luke Kesha Lawsuit

KESHA – A SURVIVOR AFTER YEARS IN A LEGAL BATTLE

We almost didn’t recognize Kesha when she appeared on The Today Show this morning. Gone is the tangled blonde hair and the glittery face makeup- not to mention the outrageous fashion. She looks dead serious. Is this what working with Sony music producer Dr Luke did to her? Since 2014, she has been in endless courtroom battles with him – she couldn’t get out of her contract (signed when she was 18) after claiming he abused her. He has sued her for defamation, her mother, and her lawyer (even a fan of hers) multiples times and she countersued – and mostly lost. Does she have any money left? Hopefully she can pull her life and career back together.

Amber Heard Domestic Abuse Johnny Depp Lawsuit

JOHNNY DEPP IS NO WINNER

Johnny Depp must be very smug since his REVENGE lawsuit against Amber Heard seems to have paid off. If he had REALLY believed that Heard’s article in the Washington Post had damaged his career by inferring that he had abused her, he would have sued the Post also. It was all about his ego. What happened to free speech? Certainly the #MeToo movement has been damaged by this – women WILL be afraid to call out their abusers if they have power and money. Hollywood insiders know that Johnny was behaving very badly on sets BEFORE he even met Amber. His drug abuse and arrogant intoxication made him frequently late (with no regard for co-workers waiting all day) – if indeed, he showed up at all. Producers had grown wary of his self-indulgent rockstar attitude and tried to avoid hiring him. If you have any thoughts that Johnny was the good guy here, just read his emails revealed during the trial. Simply being in his company was abuse…

Amber Heard Court Johnny Depp Lawsuit

JOHNNY DEPP IS ALREADY CELEBRATING

Johnny Depp is seen here buttering up everybody in sight at the courthouse in Virginia before he left for Memorial Day weekend. By having the court battle with Amber Heard televised, he succeeded in one thing: to Johnny’s delight, most of the internet has turned against Amber and she now has a reputation as unpleasant as Depp’s. As far as the lawsuit goes- Johnny will most likely LOSE. Yes, Amber wrote a news article about domestic abuse, but she never NAMED Johnny, so his claim that she destroyed his career is questionable. He has already lost this case in the UK and it will probably have the same result here. If HE won, Amber would probably proceed with HER lawsuit and they’d have to do this all over AGAIN. Those lawyers are just raking in the bucks…

Donald Trump Lawsuit Omarosa The Apprentice

OMAROSA WAS NOT IMPRESSED WITH TRUMP WHITE HOUSE

Look who turned up at an event called First Ladies High Tea (that explains the hat) at the Beverly Hilton Hotel this week: Omarosa! You might recall she gained fame on Donald Trump’s TV series The Apprentice. Trump was so fond of the reality star that after she worked as a campaign staffer for him, he invited her to work in the White House as ”director of communications.” Things did not go well, and after she brought 38 people the Rose Garden to take photos for her wedding without permission, she lost her job. Not long after, she wrote an unflattering book: Unhinged: An Insider Account of the Trump White House. Of course litigious Donald SUED, and it bounced around court for a few years until last month when she WON the case and Donald has to pay HER $1.3 million in legal fees. (It was pointed out that she did NOT leak any gov’t information – she wrote her personal opinions.) Freedom of speech. Good luck collecting…

Amber Heard Jason Momoa Johnny Depp Lawsuit Lisa Bonet

JASON MOMOA: HOW DID I GET PULLED INTO THIS MESS?

Suddenly Jason Momoa has been thrust in to the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard lawsuit, and we wonder how he feels about that. Johnny’s rabid fans have been speculating all sorts of things about Jason and his Aquaman costar Amber – mostly because Jason started following Johnny on Instagram. Depp fans are insisting that Jason and Amber had an affair while filming, and THAT’S what broke up his marriage to Lisa Bonet. (So far there is absolutely NO evidence of that.) Depp’s fans are trying to get Amber cut from Aquaman 2. Supposedly emails between Amber and Jason are about to be revealed in court- THAT might clarify the situation. So far the only upside of the Depp/Heard debacle is that Aquaman 2 is getting loads of publicity…

Amber Heard Email Johnny Depp Lawsuit

JOHNNY DEPP: NOT AS SWEET AS HE LOOKS

If you’ve been leaning toward supporting Johnny Depp in this sordid lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard, take a moment to look at some details. We’ve all heard the accusations of horrible behavior on both sides and it IS hard to decide who’s telling the truth. That’s why you must consider the emails. Emails don’t lie. Here’s an example: Johnny claimed Amber told him his kids disliked him and he was a bad father. He insisted the kids actually disliked AMBER.
But an email he sent to pal Elton John (after splitting with Vanessa Paradis) tells a different story. He said his kids had fallen “head over heels” for Amber, and Vanessa was trying to “brainwash” his kids against him. That’s when he referred to Vanessa as “the French extortionist” (Keep in mind Vanessa has always been supportive of Johnny and insisted he didn’t abuse women) Johnny’s drug-addled recollections don’t match up to those awful (and numerous) emails- they are a dead giveaway…

Amber Heard Defamation Johnny Depp Lawsuit

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…

Amber Heard Defamation Domestic Abuse Domestic Violence Johnny Depp Lawsuit The Washington Post

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.

Domestic Abuse Evan Rachel Wood Lawsuit Marilyn Manson Phoenix Rising

MARILYN MANSON: IT’S NOT OVER UNTIL IT’S OVER!

Wow. Just when we thought Marilyn Manson’s career was OVER because SO many women accused him of sexual misconduct during the past year, HE is suing his ex Evan Rachel Wood for defamation and claiming that she organized the other women who testified against him. He was no doubt motivated by Wood’s upcoming documentary Phoenix Rising examining his alleged misbehavior. In the lawsuit, Manson claims that Wood conspired with a woman (who might be her girlfriend) named Ashley Gore to recruit prospective accusers and provide them with scripts. He says Wood never accused him of wrongdoing until she met Gore, who talked her into becoming a symbol of domestic abuse, although it happened ten years earlier. Manson insists that the multiple charges against him are the result of a well-planned conspiracy. THIS could be a very interesting courtroom drama…

Jim Carrey Kathleen Turner Lawsuit Nicolas Cage Peggy Sue Got Married

PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED IS WORTH REVISITING

We came across this photo of young Nicolas Cage and Jim Carrey on Instagram and realized it was from a 1986 film we loved – Peggy Sue Got Married. (Named after the Buddy Holly song) Kathleen Turner starred as a woman about to be divorced who faints at her 25 year high school reunion and wakes up in 1960 when she was a high school senior. (This was filmed before Kathleen got that deep voice) Frances Ford Coppola directed the sweet and adorable story and he urged his nephew Nicolas Cage to play the part of Kathleen’s HS sweetheart. Cage’s performance can only be described as weird, but Kathleen got an Oscar nomination. Years later, when Kathleen wrote her autobiography she admitted that she wasn’t fond of Cage and accused him of having two DUIs and kidnapping a chihuahua while filming Peggy Sue. Outraged, he denied all and took her to court and won the case – she had to publicly apologize!
