It is a good thing the jury and not a judge decided, because if the outcome was typical you know how that would have gone . . . . . I believe Depp.

12 ( +15 / -3 )

The beginning of the end for the 'believe all women' meetoo quite frankly sexist way of thinking. Women are equal to men and are equally violent, manipulative and capable of awful vindictive lies as shown in this case.

16 ( +20 / -4 )

Depp is certainly no angel, but Heard was simply caught in lie after lie. And she craped on his bed after getting upset about him showing up late to her birthday party. She demonstrated herself to be radically unstable.

18 ( +21 / -3 )

Well, thanks for the jokes.

See you at the next one.

-3 ( +3 / -6 )

A huge set back for all the manipulative, violent, gold digging woman out there. I followed this case from the beginning, and it was clear to me from Day 1 who the guilty one was. The legal team (Chew, Vasquez) also did an amazing job catching Heard in her lies.

19 ( +22 / -3 )

Good. Now, let's move on with our lives.

-4 ( +4 / -8 )

I ate a lot of popcorn watching this... Nah, just kidding. Couldn’t care less.

-8 ( +4 / -12 )

Vindication.

Absolution.

Next for Depp, Redemption.

11 ( +12 / -1 )

Good for you, Johnny boy! Now tell those wanks at Disney to flake off! Their ships are sunk anyways.

13 ( +14 / -1 )

Truth prevailed!

8 ( +10 / -2 )

From #metoo to #meNtoo. Well done.

9 ( +11 / -2 )

This is great news!

(not the ruling, couldn't care less. I mean now we don't have to scroll by headlines about this crap everyday)

-1 ( +4 / -5 )

The copious amounts of red wine and recreational drugs both consumed, it is a miracle either could recount or not, if or when they exchange nuptials

She did WHAT?

Have you been living under a rock? lol

I hears quotes like "there is no winners here". Yes there is winners and the biggest winners are the blokes who run Hollywood ( the USA Entertainment Industry ) They have been coping a flogging for the last decade from women. I see that this saga of Johnny Depp and Amber Herd hitting the screen in a years time starring Depp himself HaHaHa. I wonder if they get Kate Moss to play Amber. HaHa. I can't stop laughing.

This trial has been the most entertaining performance Jonny Depp has ever given.

-5 ( +3 / -8 )

Heard is pretty much done. She'll be lucky if she can get decent B-movie parts going forward. She's just become too toxic.

Depp is also damaged, but this decision vindicated him in so many ways so he just might be able to partially (not entirely) salvage his career. Either way, both are mentally and physically damaged people and really need help.

7 ( +11 / -4 )

Heard is a gold digger! Wonder who's her next victim? Ellen DeGeneres?

11 ( +13 / -2 )

The article seems quitebiased towards Heard, and still tries to paint her as a victim, when, as proven in the case the opposite is true.

The woman was the abuser in this case. Elements of the media seem to have a hard time dealing with that.

10 ( +12 / -2 )

Later this month I’m expecting them to announce their reconciliation and movie deals.

-4 ( +2 / -6 )

A marriage made in hell, it is baffling to fully comprehend what processed this couple to marry in the first place.

From the court transcripts of the case, live streamed on social media, it was one horror story after another.

As for the aftermath, humiliation, they have only got each other to blame.

Heard already had a crappy rep. She is finished. She made the real domestic victims too scared to come forth now, gave them and the MeToo movement an ugly name. And domestic violence/sex abuse must be exposed and the culprits held accountable. As for Depp, he's got a stellar career and a good track record. He's no angel by any means but I think he'll manage to salvage his legacy OK. He is no Mel Gibson.

I say 'GO! GO, JOHNNY. GO, GO! GO, JOHNNY. GO, GO! GO, JOHNNY. GO, GO! ...'

I think we'll all be happy when this case is finally out of the news. It's been one weird ride.

If she were innocent, she wouldn't have needed to fabricate evidence and information.

And she did a No.2 on the bed ....

Jonny boy going to be back as Jack Sparrow again....?

That is the end Amber.......Thank you for all the funny videos on Facebook the Jason Momoa one had me dying!!! Anyone catch that one? And the poo one....Bhahahaha.....

Ah yes. Heard is already saying they will appeal because the jury was sexist.

1 ( +2 / -1 )

Amber Heard had succeeded in UK courts.

Only for Amber Heard to unadvisedly rub salt into the wounds with opinion editorial essay in The Washington Post.

Heard own words, “public figure representing domestic abuse.”

Amber Heard should have kept shtum, moved on, alas all bitter and twisted Amber Heard is the arbiter of her own downfall

4 ( +5 / -1 )

All she had to do was move on and mind her own business and she could have pocketed 7 million dollars. But some women just can't resist getting one more dig in...

7 ( +8 / -1 )

I can't help but feel this ghastly nauseous gut wrenching six week verbal cage fight is not a living reality parody of the 1989 film The War of the Roses, in the absoluteness of a 21st century social media 24/7 world.

So in the end Depp is exonerated while Heard is shown to be lying. Depp ends up with $8,350,000

less his lawyers fees which would be in the millions itself. A relatively small amount considering he lost the Pirates gig worth millions more than his settlement. But his name has been largely cleared of the worst accusations. Neither will find it easy to get anything for a few years, but I would expect Depp to eventually get something he can shine in and return to a normal Hollywood living. Heard might get some B or C grade movies to make a living.

A thoroughly unpleasant affair that cost both more than they imagined, and showed the world things it would rather not have been privy to.

If you have a marital dispute, you pack a bag and go. Doo-doo on a bed? Grossly immature and major uncool.

Didn’t he sue her?

One of my great fears in life is that I may not ever get to party with Johnny Depp

It's over but not over. We move on to Amber Heard's counter suit demanding USD 100m in compensation damages. Sit tight.

A superb result, ah has now been fully exposed, all her lies & manipulation was on full display...........she was undeniably the ABUSER not JD!

Maybe now society will start to listen to men's side of things in family courts, in the workplace etc,

Allegations need to be HEARD(haha!) and then INVESTIGATED & come to a result, not a result after hearing only an allegation!

I hope so. Many male offenders have claimed that the MeToo/time's Up movement has made a witch hunt on men. Donald trump, a known ill-mannered sex offender said so himself but in his case with his demeanor - it only SHOWS his guilt.

Johnny Depp OTOH has shown coolness and resolve through all this and his past also reflects it too. he's no angel but he's no woman abuser either. That makes a HUGE difference here. Amanda makes the real victims of abuse look bad, she's utterly disgraceful. I'm glad Johnny won in this. And with his stellar past career, he'll be alright. It'll pick up steam again. Amanda is finished and she did it to herself, even before 2018.

And Johnny is in the supergroup band Hollywood Vampires with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry. They put out a couple of good CDs.Check it out.

GO! GO, JOHNNY, GO GO! GO, JOHNNY, GO GO! GO, JOHNNY, GO GO! ....
