Depp-Heard verdict's potential implications on the Me Too movement

New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor - who helped spark the Me Too movement with her reporting on sexual assault allegations against film producer Harvey Weinstein - joins "CBS Mornings" to discuss the verdict in the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial, including what it could mean for the #MeToo movement, and why this trial struck such a chord with the public.

Don't interrupt if shes in a group of friends talking. Don't pester on social media. So on. The issue is that people feel entitled. The people who feel that a woman should be honored being asked on a date, or feel entitled to a yes, they ruin it for the people who are simply interested in an innocent date. The other issue is the response when she says no. There's an overwhelming amount of people who cannot take no for an answer. They belittle, degrade, and harass a woman for simply not wanting to give them their number. But that goes for EVERYONE. Don't do it to a man either. It would help if men would start putting their exchanges on blast. Like from dating apps or social media. If a woman is being weird, or creepy, or degrading, show us! No one deserves to be harassed. Right now, we see an overwhelming amount of men doing this to women, not so much women doing it to men. Start calling them out. Bring it to light. There will always be extremists on both ends, whether its misogyny or misandry. We have to find a middle ground.

Jodi is a perfect demonstration of just how far people will go to perform the dizzying levels of mental gymnastics needed to overlook very clear and very obvious evidence that opposes their views. Notice how she minimizes JD's abuse at the hands of Amber by saying that it was "messy on both sides". Meanwhile, she is a lot less conciliatory when speaking about Amanda's abuse claims. In fact, for her to think that this is a setback for the MT indicates that she believes Amber. She isn't interested in the truth - she just wants validations for her beliefs.

"For whatever reason, Amber Heard was not believed. How will that affect the MeToo movement?"

[@sup9542]

And these "journalists" forget (or mislead) that Heard WAS believed, 6 years ago. She was believed for half a decade up until this trial. The tapes came out a few years ago and some people heard them and realized she was the abuser and the defecation story became gossip, but it wasn't until this trial and verdict that the truth became understood. Without the televised trial, without the strong verdict, Depp would still be the monster to most people, Heard the hero. Talk about male privilege.

You are credible up to the point when you said people have been suggesting that to you personally. Where are you meeting these people ... Amber bots don't count . But what the meetoo lady is talking about is the people using this , that have normally been on the detractor side of any meetoo claim. Do you think those people just magically went away ? No ... unfortunately there is a certain percentage of Johnny supporters who have been and still are totally offended by women advances in social status. Which that explains the 95+% of people on Johnnys side. Instead of what we normally see for split numbers with an 80-20 being about max. Which IMHO ... I don't think we have to worry about them that much. They will reveal themselves at the next juncture of the meetoo issue ... in which I think it is clear to see , meetoo in the long run will be better for this verdict. Because I think in about 5 such cases like this going in favor of someone like Amber ... Society would be ready to go back to witch burning since truth couldn't be relied on anymore.

[@cristo8119]

Im a survivor of physical abuse, and I watched this trial from beginning to end never missed a minute of it and the story you should be talking about is that violence and domestic abuse is simply the same no matter what gender. Heards team didn’t have the mounting evidence that Mr.Deeps team had, I became engrossed in this trial because I couldn’t believe that someone would lie about such a serious thing such as abuse. But as the trial went on it was clear that she lied. My partner is a man who Ive seen first hand suffer abuse from his ex girlfriend who has now turned around on social media accusing him of the emotional and physical violence she inflicted on him. Im a women and a survivor and barely made it out alive from my past relationship, which is why Im sickened and think it is a gross injustice to lie about a story that so many people -both men and women have endured. But yet you don’t report what truth Mr. Deeps team has brought to light, that is women abuse too and lying about it is wrong and is ethically immoral to those TRUE VICTIMS of domestic and sexual violence. Your reporting is completely biased. I was on Ms. Herds side at the beginning but over the course of the trial it was clear she was the violent and emotional ABUSER. It was a toxic relationship but she lied. I don’t understand why the conversation that ABUSE IS ABUSE NO MATTER GENDER. I am woman and don’t think this is a set back for #metoo this is different she took advantage of a movement and was held accountable for it. Let her and him move on and heal and let’s recreate the narrative that abuse to people is abuse period.

It was Heard that wants this to become a public circus in hope to humiliate Depp. The real victim wanted to move on peacefully and quietly but the abuser wanted the victim to be entirely ruined, therefore, the victim fought back. 2. People think that defamation lawsuits keeps victims from speaking out in fear of legal action is an infringement to free speech, but free speech does not mean you can take advantage of it to reputably ruin someone with lies and go unpunished. Real victims will always have evidence as strong as Depp does, where as lies are not evidence and can never win the court of law. 3.

I wish she commented on how prejudicial it is to real victims when someone lies about being a victim/survivor. If there's anything from this case that truly harms true survivors, it's not the defamation case, it's the mess Amber created that will deter anyone from coming forward out of fear of not being believed.

I thought the word "misogyny" would start to be tossed around in the absence of any real evidence. In my experience, a lot of the anti-Heard commenters were female survivors of abuse who recognised their own abuser in Amber Heard and saw themselves reflected in the experience of Johnny Depp. There was also a ton of male survivors of female abuse who were saying, "Yes, Amber Heard is exactly like my abuser." This was not a tirade of misogynistic toxic masculinity, so quit this nonsense while you still have some credibility.

The anchors tried to keep her accountable somewhat, but didn’t really press her and allowed her run her mouth, not wanting to do much than thank her for coming on her platform and running some views for the channel, not wanted to deter others. But she runs her mouth and really does perpetrate defamation here, there has been a verdict on this. If Depp was more litigious, he would sue this channel, and he’d win. Same goes for her lawyer’s appearance on the show; they should be taking legal advice because allowing people to defame Depp with respect to a decided case on the same matter puts their channel in hot water. It’s of course very unlikely Depp would take action, but the other obvious result is that the channel and its anchors lose all credibility, which is a shame because some of them probably have some real talent. The comments to this and other videos say it all.

This woman seems to imagine that every man should face the trial of public opinion, that the mere accusation of abuse should be enough to destroy someone and no jury, no evidence, no legal process is necessary. And you'll all notice that this woman doesn't give a damn about the torrent of abuse and humiliation Depp faced when Heard made her false allegations, and that wasn't from just a few Twitter accounts, that was the ENTIRE MEDIA. I'm a bleeding heart liberal but I want no part of a "social justice" movement which attacks the rule of law and claims that all men are abusers and all women are incapable of lying, even after a trial in which the woman ADMITTED to abuse, failed to produce any evidence that she was a victim and even presented blatantly falsified photos in an attempt to lie. This MeToo movement has destroyed itself, assisted by Heard and women like Kantor who seem obsessed with a narrative that all men are evil and all women meek and innocent beings incapable of lying. Believe all victims, but require a legal process.

She was not equipped to handle the marriage with him and did not know what she was getting into. He supplied her with drugs and alcohol, what kind of husband does that?
