Depp and Heard are just spoilt actors who should have both been fined for over acting in court, time wasting and the money sent to charity. Great PR for them both and I'm sure it will lead to a TV mini series where they should make some more dough selling their rights and those short on brain cells and flush with time can re-live the highlights of what is a snore fest IMO and probably held up the justice system from adjudicating on more worthy cases.

Thry, no it was her

https://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/17/asia/australia-depp-dogs-trial/index.html

'She pleaded guilty to knowingly producing a false or misleading document...' how very typical of someone with BPD, they're a law unto themselves, being rich in narcissism. And when caught out they have two only responses... vindictiveness, or go the huge sook and woe is me (used to manipulate). Her comments after the court case failure are typical... 'I feel for all women in abusive relationships...' bla bla bla... just more manipulation and holier-than-thou bullshizen.

Amber Heard is a diagnosed BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder)... I wouldn't believe just about anything she said. Compulsive liars and right into drama and blaming everyone else.
This is why our forum is a cut above, we actually have genuine debates and learn stuff here. ;D

I had not heard of BPD before, but the minute I read your description I could identify dozens of sufferers! :o

The drama types, those two characteristics, unfounded savage retribution and / or an onset of self pity, it's all there to see!

Irrespective of whether or not she won the case, she is more famous for it than not.  I didnt know who she was, but I could tell you that Johnny Depp was in the original Nightmare on Elm Street, as well as 21 Jump Street.

I knew of Amber Heard long before she hooked up with Depp. I'm a horror buff and she's been in plenty of horror films. Most mainstream would be Zombieland - she's "406" the neighbour at the start.
Anyway, I was somewhat of a fan before all this $hit started. She's bat%hit crazy watching some of her testimony.

My wife who is very much a feminist takes her side based on some things depp has admitted to saying (words, not actions) where myself, who was a fan of hers is very much on the other side of the debate and pro-johnny.

Hollywood seems to have an easier time forgiving males rather than females. Depp is big enough that he'll come back from here (if he wants too). On the other hand, Amber Heard will 'age herself out of hollywood' and they'll find some other hot blonde to take her place and she'll never be seen again. She's not that good of an actor to come back from this, especially being female and having to jump through the extra hoops they do (think Weinstein).

The problem Baggers is that people like that scream that they have been done wrong by and in todays society, Woman vs Man typically ends badly for the man (regardless how much of looney said woman might be). I am not trivialising violence against woman, not one bit. All I am saying is there needs to be proof and if there is, put a bullet through the blokes eyes as far as Im concerned. If there isn't, throw it out FFS.

And that's what Depp (who aint no angel, but he proved he's no woman basher) was up against. Community opinion was loaded against him owing to highly manipulative and exaggerated claims from Heard. Justice prevailed and she was exposed in court for her outrageous accusations... along with coming across as a vindictive goose.

I take your point, GTC, the pendulum has swung a bit too far...  if you're a bloke and there's accusations of domestic violence, you're guilty before being proven ...anything!

Amber Heard actually set back legitimate domestic violence claims. And blokes who do beat up their partners... you know the rest!

I haven't followed the case and, even if I had, I probably wouldn't know who was in the right, or less in the wrong.

However, we have had some high profile cases here where the blokes have won despite seemingly strong evidence that they were in the wrong.  That's the cases involving Geoffrey Rush, Craig McLachlan and Tom Jarrett.  Of course, their careers have suffered as a consequence.  McLachlan recently dropped his defamation case.  I have no idea why, but it may have been because he was heading for a loss and more bad publicity.

It's certainly a fraught situation and one to be avoided wherever possible regardless of your fame, fortune, gender or leanings.

Problem is the bloke who was nominated to fill in for him while he received treatment isnt any better and could even be worse...
Offically Mikhail Mishustin would be next inline as President but he is just a puppet put into the job with no power and ambition which is why he has the job as President so he is no threat to Vlad. The bloke who really wields power is Nikolai Patrushev who is Putin MarkII and a nasty piece of work who instigates a lot of Putins dirty work and killings.
Someone sensible in the military needs to do away with Patrushev and take over....

Yep. I was reading that compared to some hardliners in Russia,  Putin is a pussycat?

Kudos to the afl…
I just opened the afl app to be greeted by a banner saying that all VFL (& state league ?) games are now able to be streamed to your smart tv via chromecast or airplay.
Long overdue, but thank you afl.

I noticed that last week when I was searching for our VFL game, the AFL website had a link to every game that you could stream. The stream starts right on game time. Agree well done AFL.

It’s the ability to watch on your big screen that works for me, I’d never bother watching footy on my Mobi, I do use my iPad at times, but I’m much more likely to watch on the tv.
