I guess all of her turning to the jury everytime she spoke was for nothing. They literally didn't believe anything she has said. Great verdict. She should be held accountable for committing perjury. The jury said that she lied. That is a crime.

[@PutItAway101]

Perjury charges are extremely rare when you lose the case, it's assumed that they factored the lying into the verdict and award so you're already getting punished for it, there would have to be some bizarre circumstances to get a criminal charge on top of that.

[@briansearle6868]

That's why it seemed like she was lying.... What normal person does that? I mean if you were frustrated that you were actually telling the truth, would you look off to the jury or would you be focused on the person asking the question? I know it's court and you are trying to appeal to the jury but nobody telling the truth who is a stranger to a court room would act that way when answering questions in a court case. She was obviously coached to do that and it just seems extremely disingenuous

[@Joural0401]

The jury said that she, by civil evidence requirements, lied. For perjury, they'd need to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that what she said was factually not true, or believed to be true

[@greatgibby]

My dad had to go through the same exact thing, but sadly was never able to clear his name with his friends. I never believed the things my mom said, but my older brother grew up thinking out dad was a lazy bum and had walked out on us. The one good thing that came up was years after their divorce, my mom had found a tape and asked me to help her play it. Turns out that it was a recording that she had made the day she told my dad he was of no worth to her anymore and wanted a divorce (he had to retire because he was going blind). That tape was magically destroyed by the tape player when I had to use the restroom so my brother never got to hear it, but I did and was able to pass the news. This is a much longer story than what I have here, but it's pretty much all there. It's really disgusting that people can do things like this to one another and I'm so happy you came out of it better off and had cleared your name. I wish you the best and also the best to your child. Take care and again... congratulations 😁👍

This isn't about protecting powerful men, this verdict is for male DV survivors. This sent a message that yes amber, "Johnny a man, is a DV survivor". He told the world and the jury believed him, unlike your taunting. This is for every man ever accused and destroyed without ever being charged. We all need to remember to believe victims, all victims, not just women. For every father, brother, husband and son, your rights to due process do not end with a woman making a claim. This needs to be remembered. Believe a victim, but vet out the claims and process them thru our legal courts, not thru the court of public opinion. So congrats Johnny, you finally had your day in court.

[@leann3235]

I really hope that this case will prove that 1) men can also be victim 2) women can also be abuser 3) victims should be able to talk, no matter their gender 4) I hope it will bring a new perspective to feminist issues, like difficulties of being believed in cases of domestic violence 5) I hope we will be able to talk about domestic violence regardless of the gender of the victim/abuser. Sadly, I’m afraid that because of her, women will have harder time to prove their abuse then before… If I remember correctly, out of 100 cases of women talking about their violence, only 1 is lying, the other 99 are saying the truth, yet right now the light is shining on the one women lying about abuse so it really look bad for women in that situation… all that being said, I really hope it will help victims of abuse (no matter their gender) to be able to tell their story… it really happens more then we think

I think more than the amount of money won, I think what's really telling here is which statements were ruled defamatory. All of Heard's lines in the WaPo article were defamatory, whereas only the line alleging very specific events was ruled in her favour. The broader comments about her faking her abuse were ruled non-defamatory, which is huge. Essentially the court just ruled that stating Depp is an abuser is a lie. Considering her personality type, I can see Heard appealing, but I don't think it'd go well for her.

She owes johnny 15 million. He owes her 2 million. 13 million net positive for depp. That is a full win and she still has to pay that 7 million to charity. So she's gotta pay 20 million total and she doesn't make enough to cover that. She's ruined and for good reason. Love this

Yep. He morally won when he had the chance to bring it to the public. Now he also create an example to further cases. The message is clear.

[@AliRadicali]

@@cookieman4578 If I understand it correctly the 5 million in punitive damages is symbolic, because punitive damages are capped at 350 K in Virginia. She still owes Depp a hell of a lot more money than she's going to be making in Hollywood anytime soon.

[@samuellanghus1455]

@@cookieman4578 Did you not fully watch the vid? Statutory cap for the $5mil punitive is $350k. Ergo, $8.35mil awarded in damages.

[@cookieman4578]

@@samuellanghus1455 every channel is showing 15 million awarded and johnny has to pay 2 million. She also owes 7 million she pledged to those charities. But ok, even if it's a bit over 8 million, he still destroyed her and she has to live knowing she is nothing but trash

This is the biggest TV trial I've seen since OJ, and has a much more satisfying ending. It really helps to have competent lawyers.

[@lunamonetmonroe]

She really thought she was going to win. We don’t see any smirking now, do we? And even NOW we didn’t even get any real tears. Johnny said, “Gimme some truth” on his IG and today he got it. Thank you, Rekieta, for all you have done to cover this & get the real truth out there. Justice has been served. ⚖️

[@AliRadicali]

Mark my words her brain is already scrambling to rewrite this as both a victory and further proof of her victimhood. Her various personality defects don't allow her to be wrong, only to be wronged. I would not be surprised if she tries to appeal this, no matter how badly it'd go for her. She's the type who can't admit defeat and won't let it go.

[@lunamonetmonroe]

@@AliRadicali All of this. Also, I see a book somewhere down the pike from her. And interviews, podcasts, tv show appearances etc. to further solidify in her own mind just how much of a “victim” she is. She honestly believes in her own lies. It’s scary.

[@jamesbronze7135]

You, Mr.Rekieta are a tremendous treasure. You're as humble as you are entertaining and the way you share your platform with your peers only builds confidence in my heart towards your actual good nature. Good Job, Nick

[@ayeeshahm9078]

I agree, he has been generous with his platform and his guests have been awesome. I sure hope he splits the proceeds from the streams and super chats with them.

[@majorpwner241]

As Nick says, they are also a benefit to him. He's not entirely selfless in having others on his channel, but Nick is alright.

Gawd I can't get enough of this! I keep coming back to this clip.

[@AdMBandLeader]

Extremely happy for Johnny today. This is a landmark verdict that'll go a long way to address DV and IPV against men not only in the US but also all over the world. Judiciary systems of many nations are going to take serious note of this and amend and formulate their existing biased laws against men on this subject. Thank you Johnny, the Virginia judiciary and Jury, Ben Chew and your team and everyone who supported the revolutionary movement that led to this red letter day. Let's all together make the world and society a better place to live in for man and woman and everyone else in perfect equality and mutual harmony. Let's celebrate life together to progress but not regress.

[@stealthimaster8583]

Lets hope Vic gets victory as well in his appeal.

[@robertosborn9910]

He basically only won his legal fees back. So basically he only wins his reputation back, which is good. Still probably lost 50 to 100 million in income because of this evil woman.

[@iamhungey12345]

Better to win than not, you rather that he lose?

[@robertosborn9910]

@@iamhungey12345 I agree, I I didn't mean to make it out to seem like this was pointless for him. I just want to express that this wasn't some financial windfall for him. At this point financially prior to suing and after winning he basically breaks even. He still lost a ton in acting salary because of her allegations. So all he really wins back by making the decision to fight is his reputation in rhe eyes of most, some will never believe him no matter what evidence is shown to them. I personally think it would be worth it, and I believe he believes it to be, but truthfully he will never be made whole, and I just feel that needs to be acknowledged.

[@everythingisbizzaaaaaro3694]

I've had a great few weeks hanging out with you for this. Here's to the next big case, Nick. See you there.

[@jTech50]

the $5mil in punitive indicates to me the jury felt amber wasted their time. that's a gigantic punishment, even though by law it will cap at $350k. they clearly did not like being lied to for six weeks

[@ecalose6785]

Classiest team of lawyers. Absolutely!

[@markmotarker]

This is the kind of body language we should have seen in court and in the recordings… this is how she acts when she is sad and scared.

[@mar2406tube]

I know this trial was not about money for Johnny, but he should have won more than 10m, he lost 2 major roles right after the op-ed; "Captain Jack Sparrow" was his brilliant creation and lost that unfairly... he deserves to be compensated for all that, regardless if he needs it or not. also, she didn't deserve a dime, with all the lies she crafted

[@eddiebrock649]

And she owes the entire world two key movie roles that was wiped off due to her actions....

[@emosgowoof]

Tbf i dont thibk amber has the savings or career left in hollywood to even pay those damages let alone what they demanded. Maybe if she starts an onlyfans or begins her career in porn.

am I the only one that found it weird how Amber just finished talking a couple days ago about how she has to be careful how she touches people and how people touch her but in front of camera's hugs her lawyer's pretty casually both Rottenborn and Elaine, I just think that if your lovers and friends have to be super careful how they touch you then it is kinda odd that you just casually hug both lawyers right in front of camera's seems like another lie to me.
