so the jury also found that Depp’s lawyer calling her allegations of abuse “a hoax” was defamatory (so I guess they do find that he abused her) so this was literally just saying “yes he abused you but you can never speak about it.”
I am confused and surprised by this verdict. How can it be defamatory for Adam Waldman to call Amber Heard’s allegations “a hoax”, yet it is also defamatory for Amber Heard to call herself a public figure representing domestic abuse?
Either one is defamatory or the other. Not both. I would argue that Waldman’s statement was highly prejudicial and unfounded. Amber Heard’s article never named Depp nor specified any of her allegations, yet the jury ruled that the claims in the article were false.
I am concerned about the impact on First Amendment rights after this ruling.
