Amber's at it again!

Somertime — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 17:48:34 GMT

Amber Heard's lawyers have filed an appeal on her behalf regarding the verdict in favor of Johnny Depp. There motion for a mistrial had been denied previously due to no evidence of juror fraud,

When the judge made the verdict official late last month, she ruled that the damages will come with a 6 percent annual interest, and noted that if Heard were to appeal she would have to post a bond for the full amount of the damages she owes.

Amber Heard is in an additional legal battle with her insurance provider over who is liable for paying her court fees.

This has been reported by People magazine.

We've heard way too much about this case already. Enough! At this point does anybody really care? It was never more than a he said, she said situation and wasted entirely too much of some court's time.

I don't know, for an actress I had never heard of before the trial I'm finding her endlessly entertaining. Certainly not in the way I'm sure she intended, but still...

I've never heard (no pun intended!) of her, and I've never been a fan of his. Thus, from the little I saw of the proceedings, my thoughts are that they deseve each other.

That trial was absurd grandstanding and abuse of the court system. The only reasonable outcome would have been for them both to have been declared guilty of, immature, substance impaired, abusive and narcissistic behaviors. They needed to throw this case out of court.

They need to go away now, but I get why Amber is upset. She thought she had it aced. She wanted her revenge. It's clear Depp was far from innocent. His popularity supported him, Amber's didn't. A wicked web.

Those who didn't watch the trial have reached their own opinions.

Those who did watch the trial think the jury reached the correct verdict.

Anyone not interested can simply pass the topic by. (That's the standard advice most posters on these boards give to those who think something isn't worth discussing or has been discussed enough.)

BTW: Seeking justice through the courts is never a waste of time. Isn't that what the justice system is for? Or should anyone be allowed to say/do whatever s(he) wants and get away with it, despite the damage to another person? What if it were you or someone important to you?

@Somertime - Makes you wonder where she's coming up with the money for the appeal.

Can't afford to make the donations to the charities as she promised, but she can post nearly $9 million for the appeal? Hmm.

"At this point does anybody really care?" @Kachina624

There are literally millions of people worldwide who followed the trial and many people are still very interested in and are following both the post-trial motions (denied) and now the appeal.

@Venezia

I listened to a video from Peter Tragos on the channel "Lawyer You Know" and it seems she only has to post the entire judgement if she wants to prevent Johnny from collecting before the appeal is denied.

Here's a link to the video or you can go to the "Lawyer You Know" channel and look for the video "Depp v Heard appeal Q & A."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWWiK82DVh8

At about 9:26 into the video Peter put up a Twitter convo between two Law Tube lawyers--Rob Moreton (Law & Lumber) and Andrea Burkhart (an appellate lawyer)--who believe she only has to put up a $500 bond, however, that means Johnny can then start collection proceedings immediately.

I'm sure we'll find out more as time goes on.

these 'movie stars' ' sports stars' 'music stars' 'social media stars' etc. are a continued source of entertainment whether at their craft or real life.

i am very amused when they get out of their lane.......so funny because they are so clueless

must be that 'talent gene'

hard to look away from a train wreck

Of course. We all knew she was going to appeal, in her position we would all appeal. Legal experts say a new trial is unlikely to have a different verdict but the $10M judgement might be considerably less.

Re: Amber's at it again!

Venezia — Fri, 22 Jul 2022 12:28:41 GMT

I very much doubt she's going to win her appeal. But that's just my opinion.

I think her lawyers are clutching at straws and they're very aware of that. They're not working pro bono, so it's money in the bank for them whichever way it goes.

As for AH and her supporters whining about the cyber-bullying? Perhaps if she just accepted that the trial is over, she lost, and would just "move on", it would eventually go away and she'd be "yesterday's news".

But then I guess she'd miss being the center of attention.

I don't remember which lawyer I heard say it, but one of them said her main argument in the appeal is going to be that it was her First Amendment right to write the article. I find that funny since she sued JD for the same thing and he's not even the one who said it. And for her to sue for $100 million seems like they were making a mockery of the whole process. Then argues that JD being awarded $10 million was shockingly excessive.

I guess she'll be refusing her $2 million and stop complaining about Twitter because, you know, First Amendment.

I agree @Venezia Not to mention a very important issue was missed by many. Abuse is abuse whether it is inflicted on a man or woman. He proved without a doubt she was abusive, and he was the victim.

I never paid much attention to this trial. To me, it was just crazy, rich people acting badly again. Nothing to see there.

I know this is old, but go to youtube and look up JD AH Trial: Final Week Highlights.

Go to about 49:17 and look at her right arm -- she was sitting in the court hallway while waiting for a restraining order. Doesn't it look like her arm was photoshopped to make it appear very skinny? Her hand looks huge because of it. Compare her right arm to her left arm. Maybe she forgot to photoshop her left arm, too.

( It's something I had noticed, but I suppose it could look skinnier because of the position of her arm. )

Re: Amber's at it again!

VanSleepy — Mon, 25 Jul 2022 14:02:43 GMT

@Daisy Sunflower I see what you mean, but it could just be the angle. Don't forget she has never photoshopped anything! LOL

Speaking of really old, Incredibly Average is showing her entire deposition from the 2016 divorce if anyone is interested. It's over 7 hours long and he's playing it in several shorter segments. I think there are two so far. It's so tedious to watch, though, because she rambles on not answering the questions and her lawyer is really obnoxious with his constant interruptions.

@Linda0215 I thought this thread was going to be about a Q host named Amber.

Considering there is a mega-thread over in TV and Movies; who knew. LOL

Look-those who want to differ over Amber and Johnny and photoshopped arms and all kinds of nonsense-have at it.

The only thing I saw on the news had been about abuse. An important issue but most posts are not about that issue.

The posts dwell on slams against Amber and/or Johnny.

I am always amazed at how much folks get involved.

Just sayin'.

Re: Amber's at it again!

Venezia — Tue, 26 Jul 2022 03:33:43 GMT

Everyone gets involved in something, just depends what his/her interest is. What interests someone else, doesn't interest me. (And I don't judge anyone else for that.)

Just sayin'.

I realize the appeal has been settled. Actually, Amber dropped her appeal first, then JD did his with the agreement that she pay him 1 million in ther settlement, which he is donating to chaiety. My understanding is Amber's insurance company paid for most of her expenses at trial and appeal. Now that all is said and done, she faces a lawsuit by her insurance companies. In addition to the lawsuit, Autralian authorities still have her under investigation over her dog smuggling fiasco. She's far from cleared of money troubles but truth be told, she brought on everything herself. She was bad news from the start. I'm glad Johnny is free from the hoaxer.
