An addendum to a post about how Rolling Stone magazine (and several other media outlets, for that matter) tried to turn actress Amber Heard into a feminist martyr after a Virginia jury found her liable to former husband Johnny Depp in the closely watched defamation trial:
Johnny Depp has also contended that during one of their arguments, Heard threw a vodka bottle at him, which shattered and severely injured his finger.
Assuming Depp gets his career back on track after the court vindication, one side message he might take from the witness testimony is to show up on a movie set on time from now on.
Depp, who is no saint obviously, and has struggled with substance abuse, had a solid legal team, as well as an array of convincing witnesses, on his behalf. Heard less so, especially with her representation by several abrasive barristers.
Depp’s unusually rambling answers when he was in the box seemed to resonate with the jury and those around the world watching the live stream.
Another takeaway: Had they not won the genetic lottery in terms of looks, i.e. physical attractiveness, Depp would probably be playing guitar in a Kentucky dive bar and Hard would likely be working for an NGO.
Parenthetically, the case was decided on World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day
