A disclaimer that I am not a psychiatrist, so I will not be making any comment about this issues.
I’d also like to note that the diagnose is from a doctor who’s a highly trained professional.
***The purpose of my sharing these screenshots is not to be insensitive or to “make fun” of people who’re struggling with mental health. This is for education purpose, and for those who are keeping up with this trial.
Amber Heard’s bootlickers are now whining about how many YouTube videos the trial is getting.
Many people, here and on Twitter, are claiming that Johnny’s team had paid off all these accounts that have existed for years, to post the footage of the trial over and over.
Now they’re saying it isn’t fair and this shouldn’t be televised at all because everything’s making Amber look bad. BUT when claims were made about the other trial, these same people were going on and on about how you can’t trust hearsay and since there was no video proof of how she behaved at trial or how overly favored she was by the judge, everyone should just be on her side.
And now we have video proof of how she behaves. Johnny fought tooth and nail to get it televised so that there are official videos of her listening to her own abusive recordings where she admits to a myriad of abusive behaviors toward him. Those are now public where everyone can watch at any time. No one can claim these are falsified. No one can claim these were fake leaks spread around the internet. The are real and are there. And yes, her admitting to hitting him, following him around, throwing things at him, cursing at him, withholding his medication or trying to force him to take more medication so he can’t call out her BS, DO INDEED make her look bad. Cuz they’re bad.
This woman has spent years making a mockery of abuse victims. She and her fans have been nothing but terrible about this. They don’t like memes and critical posts being made about Amber, but had no problem when they were made in Amber’s favor for the past 5 years. It’s only wrong, uncivil, and uncouth now.
Now it’s suddenly, ’they were mutually abusive’. Now it’s suddenly, ’he’s an actor too why isn’t he being blasted’. Amber Heard is supposedly an A-List Actress and she sucks at it. She’s being mocked for being unable to maintain a convincing facial expression for more than a few seconds before she goes back to smirking. She’s being mocked for being incapable of pulling up some tears at least to make her ugly faces more believable.
The problem here is that Johnny, in person and in all these damn recordings of him, has remained quiet and level-headed as he speaks. She is always the one raising her voice. She is always the one hurling insults. She is the one who cycles through facial expressions as she struggles to find the right one for the situation and then just gives up and goes back to either smirking or being bored. Overly emotional people reliving trauma get red in the face and nose and their eyes get puffy and red as they cry. Even if she managed to mostly hold in her body’s hyperventilation, it’ll still be obvious. She’s not affected at all. She can’t even bother to try looking affected for more than a few seconds before she’s smirking again.
Dumb memes from a small percentage of the audience is definitely worth dealing with if we get to have all this proof exposed in court and caught on camera. Y'all could handle improper memes about Johnny’s situation for 5 years so you can deal with this.
Guys, we are not out the weeds yet for Johnny, I’m afraid.
There’s another civil trial against Johnny in the Greg Brooks v. Johnny Depp, et al. in California happening in July. Brooks is suing Johnny for emotional distress, and assault & battery.
Luckily, Camille is also representing Johnny in that case. Poor Camille, she gets no breaks.
Also, there’s no cameras in that trial, so we have to rely on the media to tell us about it, as well.
The only thing I’m a little shaky on is how JD’s team talks about how AH does not have PTSD. It’s possible she does have cPTSD from childhood abuse or otherwise. The recordings reflect hardcore abandonment trauma, which is a telltale borderline trait. If AH hadn’t taken her lies this far and caused so much harm, I would have more compassion for her bc she does need serious help.
Understandable. But that’s not what Amber, herself, is claiming. She claimed that she suffer from PTSD, not cPTSD. There’s actually a difference there, and not only that, she’s claiming that suffered this from the hands of Johnny, not her childhood at the hands of her father.
There’s a reason while she was on the stand, she talked very, and I do mean, very little about her childhood and the alleged abuse from her father. Even when Whitney on the stand, Elaine didn’t really ask about their childhood.
If Amber’s team would’ve dived in to it, it would contradict her earlier claims to suffering from PSTD from the relationship. That’s simply why she had an IME in the first place.
So yeah, it’s could very well be a possibility, but that’s not the issue that was brought forth by her. And to speculate otherwise, is kind of disrespectful to her imo.
The list on who’s on the final jury in the Depp v. Heard civil trial that is currently ongoing in Fairfax, Virginia.
(demonstrations from CourtTv & Rob from @Law & Lumber, one to show the full jury & the other to show the dimssed alternates)
The two alternates were Juror #2/B & Juror #8/H. Juror #2 is a Asian male, who is in the mid 20s. Juror #8 is a older White woman, who’s in her fifties. They were both assumed by lawyers and reporters, Ian (@.RunkleOfTheBailey), Larry @.DUI Guy), Rob (@.Law&Lumber), and James, (@JamesFromCourt) to be Pro-Johnny.
The remaining jury are these 7 individuals in total below.
1. Juror #1/A, a Asian male, assumed to be in his mid 20s to early 30s.
2. Juror #3/C, a Asian male, assumed to be in his mid 30s.
3. Juror #4/D, a Black woman, assumed to be in her mid 40s to early 50s.
4. Juror #5/E, a Asian woman, assumed to be in her early 30s.
5. Juror #6/F, a White man, assumed to be in his mid 60s.
6. Juror #7/G, a White man, assumed to be in his late 20s to early 30s.
7. Juror #9/I, a Asian man, assumed to be in his 40s. Interesting enough, this juror is assumed to be very Anti-Amber, to point of out right give her a scrawl when she was on the stand.
5 men, 2 women.
All of these 7 jurors must come to an unanimous decision to reach a verdict in this case.
I suspect the juror’s identities are gonna be a source of a lot of Op-Eds if they rule unfavorably for Heard, particularly the ratio of male to female. Since most of them are non-white I suspect some racist commentary under the guise of feminism might be smuggled in too.
I see what you’re saying, but I don’t think it will work out to well for her on the PR move on either of your proposed fronts.
The issue on complaining about the gender ratio on jury will be, her team picked and agreed on the jury. So, that will literally go nowhere, and will actually reflect really badly on her team.
The racism angle will be really weird and also backfire horribly on her. Amber has a history on being seen as “racist”, so this will probably add to it if they try to conjure up the angle. Also I wonder how that racial angle will go? Amber is a cis-white woman obviously; so let’s disregard her past a moment. If they push too hard, it could also backfire in which “POC abused women are never heard, and we only care about white women who’s abused”.
But I definitely think they are going down that radical feminist route. Sprinkle in how the trial shouldn’t be televised, people leaking things on Twitter, memes on her appearance and behavior in court, and you got a pretty dumb PR stunt. Also tie in some biphobia, cause why not?

I just wanted to bring out that whatever negative speculation we have about AH’s lawyers: that they are the worst attorneys, that they must have this hate towards JD and his lawyers. We should remember that they are for the most part just doing their jobs. Yes they come off like they have a disdain towards the opposing side but they are trying to argue for their client. And a lot of lawyers have had times where they’ve done a bad job or took on a bad client or is just fighting a case where the evidence is not on their side. I’ve legit heard a lawyer who represented someone who is clearly guilty of murder, say on closing that “Just ignore the evidence; my client couldn’t have killed this person because he came from a good family”.
Yes to of this 100%. It’s actually being reported that after closing, Chew & Bredehoft was seen shaking hands and being very friendly with each other. As well as the same with Rottenborn.
It must be said, time and time again. While Elaine is terrible, and I do mean, terrible at trial, I have no doubt she’s worth every bit of that $600/h she’s getting paid. The realest MVP is Ben Rottenborn for them, and while the arguments are shit, he’s a damn good attorney. Honestly, if he was on Johnny’s team, we’ve would be saying he’s the best damn attorney in the world. Not only that, he’s getting paid peanuts compared to everyone else in this case. Literally, everyone else. He’s getting paid $325/h. He’s definitely worth more, at least $800/h honestly.
So again, don’t ever say that anyone on Amber’s team are bad “lawyers”. They are not, they are just working with bad “facts”.
And I still stand by my assertions that Rottenborn doesn’t like Amber one bit.
It’s not just that they are working with bad facts, they are working with a bad client who refuses to do her job.
Fuckin’ yes. A lot of decisions in this case was clearly made by Amber, and Amber alone. Like keeping the counterclaim.

Here is specifically what the jury is concerned about: 
There is confusion about whether or not the title is a statement in question or the Op-Ed. The title is what in question, and Judge Azcarate clarified.
This is be a big deal. It could be that the jury only finds that the title statement (which is Johnny’s strongest argument) is only defamatory, and not the other two.
This is also the first finding instruction for the plaintiff. Which means that the jury is most likely getting ready to decide on which statements are defamatory, and soon to be verdict. Or at least voting on it.
The entire jury instruction is actually very confusing with the language being used. I don’t know if I should make another specific post as to why, but to boil it down, linguistic speaking, it depends on how the jury determines “and” v. “or”, and “any” v. “all”, also switching between taking things as a “whole” and then separating to specific statements.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s another television court session.
