JOHNNY DEPP YOU ARE FREE FROM INJUSTICE AND YOU DESERVE ITJOHNNY DEPP YOU ARE FREE FROM INJUSTICE AND YOU DESERVE IT Some even went so far as to call out on her profile. Ummmm NO YOU set women and domestic violence survivors back!!! Your lies and spectacle of dishonesty is disrespectful and a slap in the face to women who REALLY experienced sexual & domestic violence. YOU, Amber, are a DISGRACE to ALL women!

One person noticed that Heard's tweet came rather quickly after the decision. Amber Heard lost her case and the first thing she did was hop on Twitter and tweet from her drafts LMFAOOOAmber Heard lost her case and the first thing she did was hop on Twitter and tweet from her drafts LMFAOOO The issue remains divisive, though, as many are frustrated for Heard and other women. Amber Heard had photos, video, text messages, audio recordings, eye witnesses, medical notes, therapists notes and she was still not believed. This is a massive setback for women. Amber Heard had photos, video, text messages, audio recordings, eye witnesses, medical notes, therapists notes and she was still not believed. This is a massive setback for women. Unfortunately, the future does not seem bright because the impact of this trial might be larger than Depp, Heard and their troubles. I fear that regardless of the merits of the case, many women will suffer as a consequence of the Heard-Depp verdicts. The results will be twisted and misapplied in ways that will make further abuse likely.I fear that regardless of the merits of the case, many women will suffer as a consequence of the Heard-Depp verdicts. The results will be twisted and misapplied in ways that will make further abuse likely. This case could have serious, lasting effects on so many women who come forward in the future. Some viewers pointed out the implications of Depp's absence in court. Amber Heard had more evidence than 99.999% of domestic abuse survivors have to support her claims of abuse and a jury still found her guilty of defamation.

Meanwhile, the person she accused could not be bothered to even show up to court.

We hate women so much in this country.Amber Heard had more evidence than 99.999% of domestic abuse survivors have to support her claims of abuse and a jury still found her guilty of defamation. Meanwhile, the person she accused could not be bothered to even show up to court. We hate women so much in this country. Some are blaming Heard's team for not getting the job done. Amber Heard’s legal defense team really shit the bed.Amber Heard’s legal defense team really shit the bed. Even though the case is over, there is no doubt that we will continue to see its ripple effects in the near future. Only time will tell what this case has accomplished for the two actors involved, and how it impacts the many women in the country who will speak out against their abusers hereon.
