What does this mean? Glassing? are you referring to Depp's fingertip being severed by the thrown glass or the accusation of a sexual act with a bottle? 3 years?

I haven't been following it besides when its hoisted on me by social media algorithms... but I suspect people who've just followed this on social media are going to be angered by the verdict as they have no idea what the lawsuit actually is.

Verdict is largely irrelevant IMO
Just hope her dog is Ok after stepping on that bee.

I’m one of those who has no idea what this lawsuit is about. I don’t get the fascination; yes, I see the irony of me reading this thread.

I was surprised that this was a thing, but in Australia and the UK its a thing defined as a violent attack with bottle or glassware. I guess they have a lot of bar brawls where people smash the bottle and stab their victims. So I assume its about the finger thing.

Jury has reached a verdict. They are giving it at 1pm MT.

Depp won on all counts and awarded $15M. Heard lost on all counts except one and awarded $2M.

It was very interesting to hear the progression of the yes/no test questions which the jury had to rule on in order to rule on defamation in each count. Very clear and logical.

So Depp gets $10M + 350k
Heard gets $2M
So $8.35M
What's the point of awarding $5M if there is a state cap of$350k?

No kidding, right??? SNL had a great skit on this with building service people gathering around the bed to look at it and decide who's gonna clean it up.

The money doesn't matter - unless Amber is broke. She'll probably text Mollusk (Depp's name for Musk) for some pocket change.
What matters for Depp is he clearly won in the court of public opinion and hollywood society who is going to welcome him back.

Yeah this case was mission accomplished as Depp went from Hollywood outcast to back in business. Heard on the other hand is going to be a tough sell to producers going forward as any career she has left is likely in B movies.

I’d say she’s done in Hollywood period.
Maybe an odd indie film or TV movie but I would wager she sees no big pictures anymore.
Crying without tears… her performance was awful.

Sets precedence for similar acts in the future. Each state would have different maximums but this sets 5$ million as precedence for future similar suits

I wouldn't be so sure about Amber's career being done. I'm sure there are a lot of sympathetic people still on her side in Hollywood and in the press. The fact she was awarded damages against Johnny helps her out.

The damages she was awarded were against Johnny's camp (his lawyer called her abuse allegations a 'hoax', and you can't do that unless you have evidence). She however, is on recording talking about how she 'only' hit him in that one instance. Then she taunted him about how he's a man and no one would believe he was a victim of DV. Johnny may not be 100% innocent in this whole thing, and this was a toxic relationship through and through, but he is absolutely a victim of physical and emotional DV.
After we finally saw a reckoning of abusers in Hollywood with great thanks to the Me Too movement, it would be completely hypocritical to give her a pass - she's a textbook abuser.
