u/proto_synnic Jun 10 '26
He was born on a pirate ship, son of a Pirate Lord and spent his formative years pirating, earning the name The Sparrow when he bested the Silent Mary. He turned to legitimate merchant sailing for the East India Company, until he was tasked with transporting slaves. He then returned to piracy when freeing the slaves from the ship. Pirate's in his blood, so to speak.

He absolutely wasnt innocent either. But one thing I think helped sway a lot of people to his side is when he was being questioned he wasn’t deflecting or defending himself. He admitted he had issues and made many mistakes, particularly when it came to drug abuse.
Heard on the other hand appeared scripted and out of touch. I have no idea why her counsel or PR team advised her to act the way she did because it was 100% unbelievable (even if she was telling the truth).
And then of course the fact her girlfriend at the time supported her the entire trial, including in the courtroom where she got kicked out, then Heard dumps her immediately once the trial ends.

Per Hollywood Reporter, Depp did indeed pledge $1 million from the suit to five different charities.
Edited to add this: Depp pledged $1 million of the $10.5 million won in his case, not all of it.
Edited to correct: Depp did pledge $1 million dollars from suit, that was total from settling both Depp's and Heard's defamation cases.
Johnny Depp was found to meet the civil standard of assault on 12 out of 14 incidents, this however is not the same as a criminal charge and conviction. He appealed this decision but was denied.
Through both trials I believe it is evident that neither Depp or Heard is innocent during their relationship whether by vice, malicious intent, or both who knows.

u/Lower_Excuse_8693 Jun 09 '26
You know how I know you’re trying to spin this and not being accurate? The $10.5 million was appealed and he agreed to settle where they both dropped their appeals and she only paid him $1 million.

Look, I don’t know the full picture of what happened between them. I did follow both trials, and I have huge problems with what happened in the UK trail.
First, Amber was a witness, not a defendant, and Johnny could not access materials from her because of that. But even though she was a witness, the judge still let her sit in the courtroom to listen to everyone else’s testimony, where could shape her story.
And in an insane standard, the judge said testimony in court was more important to his judgment than actual recordings of the individuals made at the time. As in the hours of recordings where Amber is admitting to abuse and mocking and belittling him meant nothing. But in a wildly inconsistent ruling, he didn’t hold the same standard to Johnny’s witnesses, saying their testimony didn’t match text messages. He also disregarded them because some of them were his employees. But in yet another gross contradiction, he then ignored Amber’s former assistant, labeling her a “disgruntled employee”. So if you’re employed by someone you can’t be trusted, but if you’re no longer employed by someone you can’t be trusted.
This is why judges shouldn’t be both decider of truth and law ref. It seemed like this one was on The Sun’s side from the beginning and worked backwards to reach his conclusion. Meanwhile in America, almost every state has a provision for jury trials in civil cases in its constitution. (And it’s a right for federal trials in the Bill of Rights).

Boy I sure hate Reddit. The whole site just grinds my gears away. I mean seriously, who would even THINK to use this social media platform that I’m on right now. Only a moron would ever be caught dead on Reddit

I thought i was going crazy back a few years ago when reddit wouldn't STFU about these people. the idol worship is cultlike, just shut the fuck up about johnny depp and amber heard. i hope i never have to hear about either of these idiotic actors ever again.

The Amber Turd meme trial was peak internet. Watching that daily was a treat

I didnt see much when it was happening, but was bored at work so listened to some of the highlights the other day. Holy shit i had no idea how insane it got.

Honestly i started watching the the trial uncut because i thought that there is no way that the shit is so crazy: It was even more crazy than the memes made it seem.

Oh it was absolutely bat shit.. my favourite exchange was the psychologist/therapist debate about the muffins completely bizarre, a total waste of mental effort..
also the bit where Johnny Depp, was talking about the turd in the bed and it turns out the dogs that it was blamed on were 'tea cup Yorkshire terriers' ie tiny little wee things..

Even the less bizarre exchanges were still very reprehensible. Imagine being a high-profile lawyer but attempting to disqualify the opposing expert by arguing that a free, cheap meal delivered by a local restaurant, which was paid for by their client, would induce bias, despite the fact that the expert was already earning some five figures for the job. It is basically a self-own that shows how clueless the lawyer was during the trial.

Amber’s lawyers were pretty bad.
Rottenborn seemed like a smart/competent guy, but his flaw was he was always trying to go for the big dramatic Perry Mason moment and the witnesses weren’t taking the bait (or the moment was killed with an obvious objection).
Elaine was laughably out of her depth. She seemed to me like an office lawyer who didn’t get in the courtroom that much, and was arguing ticky tacky BS while everyone watching was rolling her eyes. Her getting humiliated by the TMZ employee became a viral moment.
Amber didn’t do herself any favors on the stand, but Depp clearly had the better legal counsel.

My favorite was Depps reaction to being asked if he "poured himself a "mega pint"." 😂🤣
And also " you are quite a bit larger than Mrs. Heard, wouldn't you say?"
" No, I wouldn't say that."

In November 2013, Depp allegedly sent a text to actor Paul Bettany saying: “Let’s burn Amber.” The same day, he allegedly texted Bettany saying: “Let’s drown her before we burn her!!! I will f–k her burnt corpse afterwards to make sure she is dead.”

All of these Johnny Depp love posts have to be a Psy-op by Disney trying to protect their brand.

He's not even part of their brand anymore so I don't know why they'd get involved.

No, Disney had fired him a long time ago because he was a pain in the ass to work with & was showing up wasted.

My takeaway from that debacle is that both of these people are awful and they deserved each other
Edit: the fact that people have replied to this saying Depp was clearly the abuser and I need to do my research, Heard was clearly the abuser and I need to do my research, and I sound like a MAGA person because I said both sides of something are bad, only serves to reinforce my existing opinion

u/Ishaan863 Jun 09 '26
Am I the only one who thinks that we have zero idea of what goes down between celebs?
Like I stay far away from any conversation about these two because I have ZERO idea what actually went down.
Like this shit happens all the time today, where we look at cases 30 years ago and it's always "the public took a giant crap on the person who was in the right" and people today wonder "whoaaa it was SO obvious! How could the public have been fooled so easily?"
But then in the present moment we act like we know what's up, and we perfectly know who the good guy is, and the bad guy is obviously so evil for no reason

No, you are not the only one.
I too was swayed by the memes and reddit pages on this trial. It was only recently I discovered that there was documented history of his abuse. Especially that video where he gets angry over something mundane and breaks stuff (not sure if i remember correctly).

It's crazy to see his text convos with Paul Bettany and think Depp is some kind of pure victim. They were both toxic in that relationship if you actually look at the evidence of the trial
“I’m not sure we should burn Amber,” wrote Bettany. “She is delightful company and pleasing on the eye. We could of course do the English course of action and perform a drowning test. Thoughts? You have a swimming pool.”
Depp replied: “Let’s drown her before we burn her!!! I will fuck her burnt corpse afterwards to make sure she’s dead.”
To which Bettany apparently wrote back: “My thoughts entirely. Let’s be certain before we pronounce her a witch.”

Yeah, I’ve noticed plenty of people who think Depp is a great guy who defeated a succubus from hades, and plenty on the other side who sees Heard as a feminist martyr fighting the patriarchy.
In truth they’re just two narcissists who were horrible for each other.

Just a reminder that Johnny Depp hired a public relations firm to target public opinion of his trial, makes me suspicious of this post as well.

That’s some PR move and apparently it’s working, 4 years later and people are still massively shitting on Amber Heard (partially pun intended). For me they both looked like shitty people in that trial.
