At this particular point in time, the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard defamation case has been going on for nearly two months. I started watching the live stream of the case a few weeks ago and I also had the opportunity to view excerpts from earlier parts of the court proceedings. It has become clear to me that no matter who wins in litigation they both lose.
Unfortunately, Amber Heard is going to be known for these allegations going forward. This may impact her life, especially her career in film and television. When actors have a reputation that does not show them in a positive light, people will sometimes view them as something other than what they are. She is always going to have to deal with people speculating about her past relationship and some will be reluctant to work with her. If she is telling the truth, this is unfair.
Johnny Depp has been experiencing the aftermath of these allegations for years. Disney dropped him from Pirates of the Caribbean 6, and he also was removed from consideration for other projects. He is currently fighting for his good name in court. Unfortunately for him also these allegations are likely to stick with him-which is the reason why me filed the defamation case. Kate Moss, who he had a relationship with in the 90s, has testified that the rumor that Depp threw her down a flight of stairs while on vacation in Jamaica was completely untrue. She explained there was a rain storm and the steps had gotten wet; she confirmed that she slipped on the steps and injured her back.
One thing I find interesting about the evidence is a video recording in which Amber Heard says that no one will believe him if he makes allegations that he is the one being abused. She admits to hitting him in alleged self-defense. It really makes me wonder, if Johnny Depp is the one telling the truth and he was the one being abused, then this case has a male abuse victim-which isn’t usually seen in cases like these.
I think this case has revealed a lot of evidence and I believe the jury will get to the bottom of it. However, as a fan, I hope for the best for both of them in their lives and careers. Hopefully, they both can move on in their lives and careers.
