But this reality show is still better than the Kardashians.
Gonna have to take your word for it because I can’t take more than about 90 seconds of either without wanting to throw a brick through whatever device is subjecting me to that drivel. I dunno, I’ve seen enough moronic and reprehensible human behavior from people IRL that I can’t manage to spend time and effort to watch more of it.
What show isn’t?
There is a verdict on Depp’s and Heard’s suits. That means unanimous on the seven member jury. It will be read at noon Virginia time.
I have a co-worker who is giddily awaiting the results of the trial. She’s all in on Depp and it’s just annoying and frustrating. She doesn’t know him! He’s just an actor she likes in the Pirate movies! She says “I don’t believe her even though we’re supposed to “believe all women”” with air quotes and I was just…deeply irritated. I don’t care who you’re backing here, but that attitude and fawning, shallow worship of someone makes me question their sanity and mental acuity. She has other favorite famous people, but that belongs in another forum.
3pm virginia time. 45ish minutes from now.
Thanks for the correction.
i thought i was in a bit of a time warp. i figured it would be all over the news by now.
Seems simple. There’s a lot of reasons to like Depp and not a lot of reasons to like Heard.
He’s beloved by many for his past roles over decades, and not a lot of people want to believe Captain Jack Sparrow is a bad guy.
Heard is practically a nobody, any being very attractive is probably more of a drawback to her than vice versa.
I have to admit, her “poor baby” tone she takes in the recordings makes my skin crawl. They’re both effed up individuals but I think she has the edge on malevolence.
jury sent back to fill out forms.
They didn’t complete all the contracts for media interviews and reality TV shows. First things first.
I have nothing against Heard, and a lot of reasons to dislike Depp. The man annoys me. He once had the potential to be a great actor, but has instead spent the past decade squandered his talent on lazy schtick. Plus, he always comes across as an insufferable douchebag in interviews.
I mean, I think Depp is a pretentious ass, and I can’t stand the Pirates movies with his stupid accent. But Heard has still managed to make me sympathetic to him.
I think there is still some possibility that this jury made their decision based on the evidence presented in the trial instead of who likes who.
Ooo are you from that new thing called “reality?” I heard it was canceled. Ratings weren’t great!
Depp wins on claim 1, claim 2, and claim 3, actual malice on all three. $10 million compensatory, $5 punitive damages.
Heard wins on one. I missed the rest. My apologies for getting it wrong at first.
Oh, god, we’re never going to hear the end of this, are we?
Then again, I suppose that was true regardless of the verdict…
Wow. I haven’t been following all the evidence but I know that was a high bar that he must have cleared.
Isn’t this the expected result? I think we would have heard (I crack myself up) far more about it with any other result.
ETA: I now see Heard won on one of them, maybe scratch that.
From what I heard, no. The bar for proving defamation is kinda high.
