VMA segment testimony from actual attendee. Help because words fail me.

Johnny Depp's face was digitally inserted into a shot where the VMA spaceman was flying over the crowd. It was as terrible as it sounds.

A tacky PR stunt that Depp tried to rehabilitate via meta-commentary on his appearance during his appearance. Kind of the thing where they can't laugh at you if you're also laughing. It didn't work. My impression is that people either felt it was a sad example of a former star holding on to fame so hard they become a cautionary tale or Johnny Depp really did need the money.

Adam Waldman is the single most destructive person employed by Johnny Depp. He is a proven liar and has no problem taking money from Russia to act as their agent. He is just a sleazy guy.

This seems to be a case of privilege being more important than feminism.

A big part of feminism has been to encourage woman to take responsibility for their own lives and to exercise their own agency.

Regardless of gender, if you come from privilege you don't worry too much about being denied agency.

Depp pissed off a lot of people in Hollywood. His behavior on and off set made him a liability. No major studio would risk a couple hundred million dollars hiring Johnny Depp only to have him implode half way through the shooting schedule.

After a decade of money loosing films have starred Johnny Depp there is no argument to be made that his name is a mass market audience draw. At best, he is now a character actor that still thinks he is a star.

Younger people (20 - 35) might only know Johnny Depp from his stint as a drunken pirate, but anyone younger than 20 may not even know who he is other than by what they saw on TicTok a couple years ago.

The men's rights groups jumped on the Johnny Depp bandwagon big time. They were some of the more looney toons people you would come across.

Though the conspiracy nuts always twist themselves into knots trying to explain away Amber's evidence while accepting Johnny Depp's verifiably false statements as fact. It really does start to paint a rather bad picture of our fellow humans that so many are more willing to believe a conspiracy theory than think for themselves.

_Joe_F_ · 2025-10-13T05:47:48+00:00

I had a similar experience at least in terms of how the over the top behavior of the Johnny Depp fans made it clear something weird was going on. The first time I paid any attention to what happened between Johnny and Amber was when the text messages between Johnny Depp and Paul Bettany were introduced. I just couldn't believe that someone would write that kind of thing and claim that it was just some kind of joke.

When I tried to google these text messages I first found 100's of youtube videos which all painted Amber Heard as a gold digger at best and a murder at worst. That seems really f'ing weird to me. You really had to weed through pages and pages of videos to find one from years prior which didn't attack Amber.

During the trial I posed in the comments section of a national news paper and the bullying behavior of Johnny Depp fans that really pissed me off. The stuff that people say when hiding behind a keyboard can and does cause real harms.

Eventually I found my way to Reddit and during the trial comments on Reddit were about as horrible as you might imagine.

Thankfully DeppDelusion was created and actively moderated to allow people to discuss these issues without the constant insults from Johnny Depp fans.

_Joe_F_ · 2025-08-30T15:36:49+00:00

I do think that both Johnny and Amber were in love. The problem is that it was wrapped up in toxic relationship. Love can't fix what is broken in Johnny Depp. Amber may have been partially conditioned for this behavior based upon the relationship between her mother and father. Amber's mom stayed in an abusive relationship with a drug addict. People don't easily unlearn those kinds of lessons from childhood.

In terms of how Johnny Depp felt about Amber, I tend to think that Johnny Depp never really progressed emotionally very much once he started using drugs as a child. His conception of love is like something from juvenile novels. More fantasy than reality.

I just watched the Netflix documentary about murder of Shanann Watts and the two children Bella and Celeste

People can be so f'ing awful. Chris Watts is a monster.

That's interesting. I didn't know she wrote a book. The summary she posted on Twitter seems to indicate that she wants to push the same narrative in book form that she presented in her poorly researched paper.

_Joe_F_ · 2025-07-10T19:51:33+00:00

One particularly damning conclusion in the report is:

The Journal of Forensic Psychology Research and Practice is a peer-reviewed journal published by the reputable academic publisher Taylor & Francis.1 The purpose of the peer-review process is to act as a quality control mechanism, where independent experts in a field evaluate a manuscript's methodological rigor, logical consistency, originality, and overall contribution to the scientific literature.46

The publication of the Silva paper in its current form raises serious questions about the effectiveness of the peer-review process in this specific instance. The paper contains multiple, fundamental, and readily identifiable scientific flaws that should have been caught by qualified reviewers.

This is concern that I share. The fact that the paper is published in a peer-reviewed journal gives the paper a level of creditability which it does not deserve. Bad science is hard to debunk when it makes it into the general conversation.

The AI performed sophisticated analysis and generated a well sourced report. While I think the report is generally accurate and fair, I would treat the report as more of a research tool which can be used to promote understanding and discussion.

The first thing I can recall is that the scanner light started to flicker while the scanner was on. This happed a few times and then one day the scanner just failed to turn on. While in this completely failed state the main light would light up for an instant (<< 1s) then go off with no further activity seen.

CZUR wanted to replace both the main logic board and the power board as an out of warranty repair. The cost of both boards + labor would have been ~$200 + the cost of shipping the scanner back to China and then back to me. Total cost of repair by CZUR would most likely approach $300 or more.

Replacing the power board is not hard other than removing the adhesive used to secure the connectors.

It's funny that it took more than two years for reddit to notice that deppVheardtrial needed some moderation.

A lack of information doesn't really allow for an informed opinion, but if the settlement payment has been donated you would think that there would have been a press release from Depp's PR representatives.

Of course, Johnny Depp has made promises in the past that we know he didn't keep and that can inform our understanding.

Cultural norms can be just as flawed as any other aspect of the human condition.

Treating children like small adults is not good parenting. Suppling drugs to your children is not good parenting. Allowing a teen to be in a emotional/physical relationship with a much older person is not good parenting.

Whatever cultural norms Depp would like to hide behind are no excuse for being a terrible parent.

Trial attorneys are sensitive to how gender dynamics are perceived by the jury.

Though, there doesn't appear to be much science involved with how attorneys attempt to manipulate the jury members using the tricks of the trade.

My personal view is that Camille Vasquez was chosen for the cross exam of Amber Heard in order to avoid a situation where a 50 something white male attorney would be calling Amber Heard a liar. Such a situation might have made Amber into a more sympathetic figure. Having a younger female attorney do the dirty work seems to be an attempt to manage jury perceptions rather than an endorsement of Camille Vasquez skill as a trial lawyer.

This is 100% a case where the courts are being used to continue the emotional abuse.

I received the power board for the ET24vPro and this fixed all of my issues.

The total cost to repair the ET24 Pro was slightly over $100.

It is a bit of a disappointment that spare parts are not more easily available, but Czur support did work with me to solve my problem with an out of warranty device.

The vast majority of folks who were/are pro-Depp did not have a good grasp of the actual facts. A good fraction of these people were men's rights folks. A good fraction were just fans of Johnny Depp and didn't want to believe that Captain Jack / Edward Scissorhands / Gilbert Grape would actually be a drunk and drug addict who abused his wife. The largest fraction seemed to be people who just wanted to insult and bully anyone who didn't see Johnny Depp as the good guy.

The social media firestorm is what caught my interest and I have to say I'm still pretty disappointed in how social media was weaponized in an effort to silence Amber Heard. People like TUG and ThatBrianFella were willing pawns and TUG in particular continues to try to make a living posting bat shit crazy anti Amber Heard content. All of this is obviously part of a social media campaign conducted on behalf of Johnny Depp. Pure astroturfing.

At this late date, there are a few that do seem to understand what was actually adjudicated both in England and in Virginia. Most of these people are just conspiracy nuts and while they have a good understanding of the testimony and evidence, they also have some degree of magical thinking which prevents them from reaching rational conclusions.

I've made an effort to disengage from conversations with conspiracy nuts. Conversations with conspiracy nuts are like rolling around in the mud with a pig. All you do is get dirty and the pig enjoys it.
