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.

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.

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?

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. )

@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'.

[Venezia]

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.
