Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,533 --> 00:00:05,703
yes, but more than that,he's a good person.
2
00:00:05,733 --> 00:00:07,003
He's smart.
3
00:00:07,033 --> 00:00:10,903
He's fiercely, fiercely
intelligent and very creative.
4
00:00:10,933 --> 00:00:15,833
And working with him,
I really do see why
he is the icon that he is.
5
00:00:15,867 --> 00:00:20,527
Meeting an actresslike Amber Heard was...was just a dream come true.
6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,130
He's brilliant at his job
and he's kind of mastered
7
00:00:28,167 --> 00:00:30,897
the Hollywood machine
and done so in his own way.
8
00:00:30,933 --> 00:00:34,203
And I think that
I would be silly
not to take advice from him,
9
00:00:34,233 --> 00:00:36,403
and he's been very generous.
10
00:00:36,433 --> 00:00:38,473
I also have to thank my wife,
11
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:45,000
Amber, for...
for putting up with me,
12
00:00:45,033 --> 00:00:50,333
for living with
all these characters...
13
00:00:50,367 --> 00:00:51,897
...which can't be easy.
14
00:01:00,433 --> 00:01:03,133
She said he beat her up,he choked her, headbutted her,
15
00:01:03,167 --> 00:01:05,897
kicked heron 14 different occasions.
16
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,070
In a storyabout him and his then wife,Amber Heard,
17
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:21,070
a U.K. newspaper calledJohnny Depp "a wife beater".
18
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:24,670
Amber was stuck
in a relationship
that actually seems nothing
19
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:26,070
short of a nightmare.
20
00:01:29,767 --> 00:01:32,597
A lot of the case
on behalf of Johnny Depp
21
00:01:32,633 --> 00:01:34,673
was that Amber Heard
was lying.
22
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:35,900
Somebody had to be lying.
23
00:01:35,933 --> 00:01:37,773
Either Johnny Depp was lyingor Amber Heard was lying.
24
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,130
So,
credibility was really key.
25
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,270
He grabbed...
26
00:01:55,300 --> 00:02:01,330
He grabs my head,
takes a fistful of my hair
and says,
27
00:02:01,367 --> 00:02:03,067
"I hit your eye?
I hit your eye, huh?
28
00:02:03,067 --> 00:02:04,327
Let me see your eye."
29
00:02:04,367 --> 00:02:09,227
He pulled her by the hair
so hard that clumps
of her hair
30
00:02:09,267 --> 00:02:11,067
were actually removed.
31
00:02:11,067 --> 00:02:12,197
Are you crazy?
32
00:02:12,233 --> 00:02:14,173
Have you drunkthis whole thing this morning?
33
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,530
Oh, you get this going?
34
00:02:15,567 --> 00:02:17,827
- You got this going?
- No,I just started it.
35
00:02:17,867 --> 00:02:19,967
Motherfucker!
36
00:02:20,067 --> 00:02:21,427
Motherfucker!
37
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,170
At the high courtin London,
38
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,400
the Hollywood actorJohnny Depp is suingThe Sun newspaper
39
00:03:13,433 --> 00:03:15,403
and its executive editor,Dan Wootton.
40
00:03:15,433 --> 00:03:17,833
As the actor faces14 domestic violence
41
00:03:17,867 --> 00:03:20,667
allegations against himfrom his ex-wife, Amber Heard.
42
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:24,770
And The Sun newspaper claimsthat he was "a wife beater".
43
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,870
He's now suing the newspaper
for 39 million pounds.
44
00:03:31,667 --> 00:03:34,497
It was difficultnot to have a huge amount ofempathy for Amber Heard,
45
00:03:34,533 --> 00:03:36,403
you know,with this immense pressure.
46
00:03:36,433 --> 00:03:37,833
And for her to have to relive
47
00:03:37,867 --> 00:03:39,967
some of the mostdifficult moments of her life
48
00:03:40,067 --> 00:03:42,127
in a case thatshe never wanted to happen.
49
00:03:42,167 --> 00:03:46,197
It was Johnny Depp that
brought the libel action
against The Sun.
50
00:03:46,233 --> 00:03:50,333
And with it, it brought upsome of the mostharrowing moments of her life.
51
00:03:50,367 --> 00:03:52,067
And you couldn't helpbut feel sorry for her.
52
00:03:54,600 --> 00:04:01,330
I traveled here to the UK
to testify as a witness
to assist the court.
53
00:04:01,367 --> 00:04:05,667
I did not file this lawsuit,
and despite
its significance...
54
00:04:07,667 --> 00:04:09,667
I would have preferred
not to be here in court.
55
00:04:12,967 --> 00:04:17,427
For Amberto come out when she didand talk about her experience
56
00:04:17,467 --> 00:04:20,927
to go againstthe Hollywood system,
57
00:04:20,967 --> 00:04:25,267
to go against her spouse,
who was much more famous
58
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:27,770
and had a bigger voice
than her,
59
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,600
even though people weretelling her
60
00:04:29,633 --> 00:04:32,233
that she was lyingand not believing her,
61
00:04:32,267 --> 00:04:34,297
took a lot of courage.
62
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:37,800
It has beenincredibly painful
63
00:04:37,833 --> 00:04:41,333
to have my motives,my truth questioned.
64
00:04:43,333 --> 00:04:49,673
I stand by my testimony
and I now place my faith
in British justice.
65
00:05:02,533 --> 00:05:04,633
There wasa huge amount ofinherent misogyny
66
00:05:04,667 --> 00:05:06,597
around the courtroom.
67
00:05:06,633 --> 00:05:08,133
I think there wasa feeling that, you know,
68
00:05:08,167 --> 00:05:10,767
why would Johnny Depp
take Amber Heard to court?
69
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,070
He doesn't need this.
70
00:05:12,067 --> 00:05:13,467
You know,
he's got everything he needs.
71
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:17,530
Why would he unless
she was lying?
72
00:05:17,567 --> 00:05:19,727
And it was saidby some people,
73
00:05:19,767 --> 00:05:22,667
you know, why didn'tAmber Heard leave earlier.
74
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:24,800
Why did she then go on
to marry Johnny Depp
75
00:05:24,833 --> 00:05:26,833
when she had been victim
to abuse?
76
00:05:26,867 --> 00:05:29,397
She then stayed with himfor two more years.
77
00:05:29,433 --> 00:05:32,573
As we know,
in abusive relationships,
people become entrapped.
78
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,930
It's very classic to not be
able to leave your abuser.
79
00:05:34,967 --> 00:05:38,597
But there were definitely
problematic opinions
80
00:05:38,633 --> 00:05:39,873
surrounding this trial.
81
00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:43,903
There were even,you know,feminists saying
82
00:05:43,933 --> 00:05:46,603
it's for all the other womenthat are telling the truth,
83
00:05:46,633 --> 00:05:48,073
this case might doloads of damage.
84
00:05:48,067 --> 00:05:49,427
You know,
there were lots of women
85
00:05:49,467 --> 00:05:51,327
who were out to get
Amber Heard.
86
00:05:51,367 --> 00:05:54,367
You know, she was
in a very difficult situation.
87
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,070
Amber Heardwas an incredibly beautiful,
88
00:06:02,067 --> 00:06:05,627
famous young womanwhose star was rising.
89
00:06:05,667 --> 00:06:09,067
But now she was up against
the force and the might of
90
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:11,800
one of the biggest megastars
in the world.
91
00:06:11,833 --> 00:06:15,473
It was clear this casemight do loads of damageto her career.
92
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,330
Over the period ofmy career,
93
00:06:25,367 --> 00:06:27,527
I have been involvedin defending
94
00:06:27,567 --> 00:06:31,127
and prosecuting casesof domestic violence,
95
00:06:31,167 --> 00:06:35,897
which range from,what unfortunately is termedas low-level assaults,
96
00:06:35,933 --> 00:06:39,633
although they're very seriousto the people suffering them,to murder.
97
00:06:46,433 --> 00:06:50,273
This case involves not just
one incident of
domestic violence.
98
00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:55,070
This case involves
14 pleaded cases
99
00:06:55,067 --> 00:06:58,267
over a course of years.
100
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:02,530
My job in this casewas to provea pattern of abusive behavior.
101
00:07:06,567 --> 00:07:11,797
Many cases ofdomestic violenceamount to, he said, she said.
102
00:07:11,833 --> 00:07:14,773
But the Depp case is unusual
103
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,100
in that there isso much supporting evidence.
104
00:07:18,133 --> 00:07:19,703
And he's got me
by the hair and...
105
00:07:21,833 --> 00:07:26,373
Throughoutthe three-year period ofthe abuse allegations,
106
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,900
Ms. Heard would recordwhat was happeningto her at the time.
107
00:07:30,933 --> 00:07:32,933
Motherfucker!
108
00:07:32,967 --> 00:07:34,367
Motherfucker!
109
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,870
It happened...
110
00:07:38,367 --> 00:07:41,167
There were photographsof her injuries.
111
00:07:43,333 --> 00:07:46,073
There were medical records.
112
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:48,870
Texts to her motherand her friends.
113
00:07:48,900 --> 00:07:52,370
Diary entriesin effect on email.
114
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,930
So you have a documentthat is timed and dated.
115
00:07:56,967 --> 00:07:59,427
And there wasthe text messages.
116
00:08:03,067 --> 00:08:06,967
We have the story toldby the texts themselves.
117
00:08:08,667 --> 00:08:12,967
And it tells a story
that it's very difficult
to contradict.
118
00:08:18,467 --> 00:08:21,067
David Sherborne,who represents Johnny Depp,
119
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:24,500
is one of the mostfamous barristersin the world.
120
00:08:24,533 --> 00:08:30,333
He has representedPrincess Diana,Elton John, the Beckhams.
121
00:08:30,367 --> 00:08:34,127
He is also the man thatcelebrities go towhen they're in crisis.
122
00:08:34,167 --> 00:08:36,697
He has a sort of debonair,smooth energy about him,
123
00:08:36,733 --> 00:08:39,103
and he was alwaysby Johnny Depp's side.
124
00:08:39,133 --> 00:08:41,203
You got the impressionthat they got on very well.
125
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,130
The lot of the case
on behalf of Johnny Depp
126
00:08:47,167 --> 00:08:49,067
was that Amber Heard
was lying.
127
00:08:49,067 --> 00:08:50,367
Somebody had to be lying.
128
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,600
Either Johnny Depp was lying
or Amber Heard was lying.
129
00:08:52,633 --> 00:08:54,603
So credibility was really key.
130
00:08:54,633 --> 00:08:56,833
And there were a number
of ways in which we said
131
00:08:56,867 --> 00:08:59,867
it was obvious to the courtthat Amber Heard was lying.
132
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:03,500
And that was very important
to our case.
133
00:09:11,367 --> 00:09:14,127
It happened before
I was involved in the case
134
00:09:14,167 --> 00:09:18,567
that a very large number of
text communications
135
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,900
from Johnny Depp to, um,
a number of other people
136
00:09:22,933 --> 00:09:26,403
were provided by mistake
to the defendant,
137
00:09:26,433 --> 00:09:32,233
to the newspaper
by his former solicitors.
138
00:09:32,267 --> 00:09:35,497
The defendants wereable then to pore over
139
00:09:35,533 --> 00:09:38,133
a very large numberof communications.
140
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:44,800
The storythe texts tell is that drugs,
141
00:09:44,833 --> 00:09:49,403
alcohol and regret and apology
142
00:09:49,433 --> 00:09:52,133
played a very large part
in their relationship
143
00:09:52,167 --> 00:09:54,567
and that supported her account
144
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,230
and didn't support
his account.
145
00:09:57,267 --> 00:10:00,267
I mean, those text messages
were his downfall.
146
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:16,370
In March 2013,they had an argument
147
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,900
which became
a violent argument.
148
00:10:20,933 --> 00:10:23,173
Mr. Depp had spent some time
149
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,430
at Ms. Heard's place of
residence at the time.
150
00:10:29,967 --> 00:10:32,627
He was under the influence
of drink or drugs
151
00:10:32,667 --> 00:10:35,967
and photographs existed
of what he was taking
152
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,400
and putting up his nose.
153
00:10:38,433 --> 00:10:41,503
Mr. Depp had lined up cocaine,
154
00:10:41,533 --> 00:10:43,533
been drinking whiskeyall night,
155
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:48,300
really been
extremely inebriated.
156
00:10:48,333 --> 00:10:51,703
Mr. Depp took objectionto a painting
157
00:10:51,733 --> 00:10:53,673
done byMs. Heard's ex-partner,
158
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:58,070
which Ms. Heard used tohang on the back ofher bedroom wall.
159
00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:00,800
Mr. Depp was jealous.
160
00:11:00,833 --> 00:11:04,633
Mr. Depp tried to set fireto the paintingwith his cigarette lighter.
161
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,700
And when she triedto stop him,
162
00:11:09,733 --> 00:11:11,903
he hit herwith the back of his hand.
163
00:11:15,067 --> 00:11:20,067
Amber Heard gave
a very graphic account of
how she said it happened,
164
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:22,770
but was unable
when she was challenged
165
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,530
to really explain some of
the... of the details of it.
166
00:11:29,533 --> 00:11:33,803
Amber Heard senta series of texts
167
00:11:33,833 --> 00:11:39,573
describing the violencethat she had sufferedat the hands of Mr. Depp.
168
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,370
"JD fell off the wagonlast night, hardcore.
169
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,300
He's on hour 24of a major binge.
170
00:11:47,333 --> 00:11:49,303
Trying to escape heresoon though
171
00:11:49,333 --> 00:11:51,573
and will head over to yours."
172
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,330
Ms. Heard texted hermother saying,
173
00:11:54,367 --> 00:11:57,227
"He's nuts mom.Violent and crazy.
174
00:11:57,267 --> 00:12:00,527
I'm heartbrokenthat THIS is who I love."
175
00:12:02,933 --> 00:12:06,633
There were other incidents
in March, several incidents
in March.
176
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:13,870
And there were further textsdescribing the violence
177
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:17,300
that she had suffered
at the hands of Mr. Depp.
178
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:24,430
Ms. Heard took photographsof her injuries.
179
00:12:24,467 --> 00:12:26,467
What is apparentfrom the texts
180
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:32,170
is there was a wealth ofevidence supportingMs. Heard's claim
181
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,630
that she wasbeaten by Mr. Depp.
182
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,570
What many peoplehad assumed is that,
183
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,400
you know, there wasa honeymoon period
184
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:49,633
and that Johnny Depp
had charmed and been amazing
at the beginning
185
00:12:49,667 --> 00:12:51,067
and Amber Heard
had fallen in love.
186
00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:53,130
What we realized by observing
187
00:12:53,167 --> 00:12:54,667
the trial is that
actually there had been
188
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:57,500
a very short period of
love bombing of Amber Heard.
189
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,400
And that very, very early on,
Amber Heard said
190
00:13:07,433 --> 00:13:09,773
that the abuse
and the jealousy
191
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,730
and the coercive control
had begun.
192
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,500
The Amber and Johnnyrelationship is about power.
193
00:13:24,533 --> 00:13:26,303
It's about power imbalance.
194
00:13:26,333 --> 00:13:30,203
Johnny was a lot more famous.
195
00:13:30,233 --> 00:13:34,233
While on the outside,
they look like
this fairy tale A-list couple,
196
00:13:34,267 --> 00:13:37,167
was actually very,very dark behind the scenes.
197
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,930
And Amber was stuckin a relationship
198
00:13:39,967 --> 00:13:42,927
that actually seemsnothing short of a nightmare.
199
00:13:52,767 --> 00:13:58,327
I'm an old curmudgeon
and I don't get wowed
very easy by actors.
200
00:13:58,367 --> 00:14:00,197
And Amber didn't wow me.
201
00:14:00,233 --> 00:14:02,133
I thought she had potential.
202
00:14:02,167 --> 00:14:04,567
As I got to know her,
203
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,300
I thought she had
special insights.
204
00:14:08,333 --> 00:14:12,373
I thought she hada seriousnessand she had determination.
205
00:14:14,067 --> 00:14:19,067
This is a storage unitwith a lot of stufffrom my past.
206
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:25,600
Acclaim had a lot of peoplein this movie.
207
00:14:27,733 --> 00:14:29,933
That's one of the few
I was proud of.
208
00:14:31,467 --> 00:14:34,467
And so, we got
a lot of actors' work.
209
00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:42,470
See, there's a Rolling Stone
with Margot Kidder who...
210
00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:46,270
Oh! Amber Heard right here.
211
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,670
The early contracts.
212
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:54,930
Warner Brothers,
one of her first contracts.
213
00:14:54,967 --> 00:14:58,797
$745 a day, plus 10%.
214
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:03,670
Amber was determined
and serious.
215
00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:06,400
So, she didn't start out
that savvy.
216
00:15:06,433 --> 00:15:12,703
She started out wanting to
go to LA and start a career.
217
00:15:12,733 --> 00:15:13,973
There's one for you.
218
00:15:15,933 --> 00:15:19,433
Even at 16,
she had penetrating eyes.
219
00:15:22,633 --> 00:15:26,073
A little bit later,
there she's about 18.
220
00:15:26,067 --> 00:15:30,327
She's not giving you that
fake glam stuff.
221
00:15:30,367 --> 00:15:33,267
I thought, this girl has it.
222
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:36,130
She has what it
takes to make it.
223
00:15:38,333 --> 00:15:40,073
From the outside,it kind of looked like
224
00:15:40,067 --> 00:15:43,067
she has this likepicture-perfect childhood.
225
00:15:43,067 --> 00:15:47,527
Her father worked with horses,
so she ended up riding horses
a lot as a child
226
00:15:47,567 --> 00:15:50,497
and loves being around animals
and being in nature.
227
00:15:50,533 --> 00:15:52,633
What we now know, though,
about that childhood
228
00:15:52,667 --> 00:15:55,097
is that her father
was an alcoholic,
229
00:15:55,133 --> 00:15:57,903
that he had
a very difficult relationship
with her mother,
230
00:15:57,933 --> 00:16:00,973
and that it wasn't
a great experience for her.
231
00:16:01,067 --> 00:16:03,097
In fact,
it was quite traumatic.
232
00:16:09,067 --> 00:16:10,667
When she gotinto her teenage years,
233
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:15,130
she actually ended up modelingand that's, kind of,how she made money.
234
00:16:15,167 --> 00:16:17,697
Talent scouts wouldcome from Milan.
235
00:16:17,733 --> 00:16:19,073
They liked Amber.
236
00:16:19,067 --> 00:16:24,367
She had a good look,but she was a half inchtoo short.
237
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,930
And I said,
"But maybe you can act."
238
00:16:26,967 --> 00:16:28,227
What the fuck
were you thinking?
239
00:16:28,267 --> 00:16:29,767
- Thought it'd be funny?
- No, I thought...
240
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,070
What was that...
I was gonna be fucking cute?
241
00:16:32,067 --> 00:16:33,827
And then when she was 17,
242
00:16:33,867 --> 00:16:38,727
she got her first film role in
a B-movie
called Side Effects.
243
00:16:38,767 --> 00:16:42,227
Look, you don't actually
believe this guy, do you?
244
00:16:42,267 --> 00:16:43,427
You should call the cops.
245
00:16:43,467 --> 00:16:44,627
All right.
246
00:16:44,667 --> 00:16:46,397
We knew
we were making
a low budget horror film,
247
00:16:46,433 --> 00:16:49,073
and so we thought, well,
we just need
a really good looking cast.
248
00:16:50,067 --> 00:16:52,097
- You sick fuck.- No.
249
00:16:52,133 --> 00:16:54,103
And she wasvery natural.
250
00:16:54,133 --> 00:16:58,073
See, there's blood dyeunderneath her fingernails.
251
00:16:58,100 --> 00:17:03,070
She was, you know, funny,and that hada really positive outlook.
252
00:17:03,067 --> 00:17:04,827
And that's a huge thing.
253
00:17:04,867 --> 00:17:07,297
You know, when you're doingsomething for no budget,
254
00:17:07,333 --> 00:17:09,233
we're not gonna have trailersand, you know,
255
00:17:09,267 --> 00:17:11,167
everybody's gonna have tobe a team and work together
256
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,270
and be able to dealwith a lot of long hours.
257
00:17:15,833 --> 00:17:18,103
She's smart, she's sharp,she's witty.
258
00:17:19,733 --> 00:17:22,403
She makes you feelcomfortable.
259
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:25,930
Anybody thatmakes you feel comfortable
260
00:17:25,967 --> 00:17:28,327
you want to work withbecause, you know,
261
00:17:28,367 --> 00:17:30,167
you kind of wanna trustthe people
262
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,600
that you're working with.
263
00:17:44,133 --> 00:17:46,673
Amber was just
my friend's sister.
264
00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:48,300
So, when we went out,
she would come
265
00:17:48,333 --> 00:17:49,603
and, you know,
we'd all hang out.
266
00:17:49,633 --> 00:17:53,733
And... she's gorgeous,
she's just as beautiful.
267
00:17:53,767 --> 00:17:55,697
And she would walk in a roomand just light up the room
268
00:17:55,733 --> 00:18:00,333
and just tons of friends
and super outgoing
and super charismatic.
269
00:18:06,633 --> 00:18:08,073
Hi, we're herewith Amber Heard.
270
00:18:08,067 --> 00:18:09,167
Hi.
271
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,070
And you're herewith your movie The Informers.
272
00:18:11,067 --> 00:18:12,067
Yes.
273
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:13,830
Um, this is yourfirst time at Sundance?
274
00:18:13,867 --> 00:18:14,967
Yes.
275
00:18:15,067 --> 00:18:18,097
This is my first time
at a film festival at all
276
00:18:18,133 --> 00:18:19,473
with a movie that I worked on.
277
00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:22,600
And, um, what better place
to start than Sundance.
278
00:18:22,633 --> 00:18:26,933
In 2008, Amber met
Tasya van Ree, her girlfriend,
279
00:18:26,967 --> 00:18:30,567
and they had thisvery long relationship.
280
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,070
And Amber was very,
very much in love.
281
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:41,170
In 2009, of course,
is when Johnny met
Amber Heard,
282
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,400
and that's when he made
The Rum Diary.
283
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,130
He was a produceron that film as well,
284
00:18:47,167 --> 00:18:49,067
and it was a filmthat he tookvery, very seriously.
285
00:18:49,067 --> 00:18:51,797
And Amber Heardwas cast in it,
286
00:18:51,833 --> 00:18:55,703
and that pairing,
that meeting is,
287
00:18:55,733 --> 00:18:57,973
you know, part of the story of
where we are today.
288
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:03,130
Johnny was withVanessa Paradis,his partner at that point,
289
00:19:03,167 --> 00:19:07,697
and Amber was withTasya van Ree, her girlfriend.
290
00:19:07,733 --> 00:19:10,833
She says that
he doggedly pursued her.
291
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:16,970
Amber is so good.
292
00:19:17,067 --> 00:19:18,497
And she's...
she's such a sweet kid,
293
00:19:18,533 --> 00:19:20,573
you know,
she's such a great girl.
294
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,770
We just sort of, you know,
tried to laugh it off,
you know.
295
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,830
He's...
he's such a pleasure.
296
00:19:25,867 --> 00:19:27,227
He's such a pleasure
to work with.
297
00:19:27,267 --> 00:19:30,597
He's... he's even better than
I could have imagined him
to be
298
00:19:30,633 --> 00:19:31,933
which is saying something.
299
00:19:37,733 --> 00:19:38,803
Johnny!
300
00:19:40,233 --> 00:19:42,573
Johnny,are you dating Amber Heard?
301
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,330
He and Amber
are now an item.
302
00:19:44,367 --> 00:19:46,867
She actually broke up
with her girlfriend.
303
00:19:48,633 --> 00:19:51,603
You know,when Amber and Johnnyfirst came out as a couple,
304
00:19:51,633 --> 00:19:54,573
Johnny was the biggest
movie star in the world.
305
00:19:57,267 --> 00:20:00,967
The first time that I met him,
I'll never forget this.
306
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,070
We were at this, like,
very fancy restaurant.
307
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:05,030
He's sitting opposite me.
308
00:20:05,067 --> 00:20:07,227
And then he like
reaches in his bag
309
00:20:07,267 --> 00:20:09,927
and starts rolling cigarettes
on the table.
310
00:20:11,533 --> 00:20:13,633
He didn't even order anything
on the menu.
311
00:20:13,667 --> 00:20:17,097
He just, like,
grabbed some snacks,
like, from his bag
312
00:20:17,133 --> 00:20:21,273
when we were all just ord...
eating like
three or four-course meals.
313
00:20:21,300 --> 00:20:22,600
He's just like snacking.
314
00:20:24,233 --> 00:20:27,403
I mean, older guy,hot young girl.
315
00:20:27,433 --> 00:20:31,133
I mean, it's not like
a crazy, uh, thing
316
00:20:31,167 --> 00:20:32,967
to have happened in Hollywood,
especially.
317
00:20:39,267 --> 00:20:42,227
You know,I think it's kind of beensurprising to us that
318
00:20:42,267 --> 00:20:45,067
the abuse between
Johnny and Amber started
319
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:47,030
just a year after
they got together.
320
00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:50,500
They were togetherfor that whole time,
321
00:20:50,533 --> 00:20:53,133
we thought,in this perfect relationship,
322
00:20:53,167 --> 00:20:55,297
and then A-list marriage.
323
00:20:55,333 --> 00:20:57,533
And actually thingsweren't great for them.
324
00:20:57,567 --> 00:21:00,097
It was actually very,very dark behind the scenes.
325
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:04,200
There was definitely
a sense that, you know,
326
00:21:04,233 --> 00:21:07,073
this age gap between
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp
327
00:21:07,067 --> 00:21:08,697
was an issue
in the relationship.
328
00:21:08,733 --> 00:21:12,903
He had real problems withAmber Heard beinga very beautiful,
329
00:21:12,933 --> 00:21:15,133
successful womanthat her star was rising
330
00:21:15,167 --> 00:21:18,697
and that Johnny Deppwanted to be the only starin the house.
331
00:21:18,733 --> 00:21:21,833
He wanted to contain her
and control her.
332
00:21:21,867 --> 00:21:23,727
And when
he couldn't control her,
333
00:21:23,767 --> 00:21:25,697
he would go
into violent rages.
334
00:21:39,067 --> 00:21:45,397
In May 2014,
Mr. Depp chartered a plane
335
00:21:45,433 --> 00:21:50,073
to take himself
and Ms. Heard back to LA.
336
00:21:50,067 --> 00:21:54,097
Um, her account was that
he was paralytically drunk
337
00:21:54,133 --> 00:21:59,333
and drugged up and had taken
serious quantities of drugs.
338
00:22:03,333 --> 00:22:04,803
Prepare to take off.
339
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:16,970
Johnny had always been jealous
of Amber's relationships
with men and women,
340
00:22:17,067 --> 00:22:20,067
so whenever she wouldgo out withgirlfriends or guy friends,
341
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:23,070
there was always something
in the back of his head
that made him anxious,
342
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:24,330
that made him uncomfortable,
343
00:22:24,367 --> 00:22:25,767
where he just became
very jealous
344
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,130
and very paranoid
about what was going on.
345
00:22:28,167 --> 00:22:31,267
She had been filming
in New York
346
00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:34,870
with an actor called
James Franco.
347
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:39,970
He was a much younger man,much closer in ageto Ms. Heard.
348
00:22:40,067 --> 00:22:42,427
Cut.
349
00:22:42,467 --> 00:22:46,527
And Mr. Depp was very jealous
of James Franco.
350
00:22:46,567 --> 00:22:47,967
You know, we were
kind of thrown into it.
351
00:22:48,067 --> 00:22:51,397
I mean, you know,
with a movie like this,
it's like, you know,
352
00:22:51,433 --> 00:22:52,703
you know what the script is.
353
00:22:52,733 --> 00:22:56,403
And it's like inevitably,
you have, you know,
354
00:22:56,433 --> 00:22:59,103
some intimate scene
for your very first scene.
355
00:22:59,133 --> 00:23:01,703
Fortunately, we were cool.
356
00:23:01,733 --> 00:23:05,373
- At least we got thrown
in the deep end there.
- Yeah, yeah.
357
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,130
- Yeah.
- It was the first scene.
358
00:23:08,167 --> 00:23:10,127
Yeah, but it's the easy way.
359
00:23:10,167 --> 00:23:11,427
I guess it helped break
the ice.
360
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,330
And from the timehe was on the plane,
361
00:23:16,367 --> 00:23:21,797
he was raging at her,
calling her offensive words,
362
00:23:21,833 --> 00:23:23,803
um,
hit her one occasion over...
363
00:23:23,833 --> 00:23:27,273
slapped her across the face
and kicked her in the back.
364
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:31,900
The evidence of the people
on board was very clear
365
00:23:31,933 --> 00:23:37,473
that they had had an argument
that it had been started
by Amber Heard.
366
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:39,600
It was Amber Heard
who stands up.
367
00:23:39,633 --> 00:23:41,073
She goes to the toilet.
368
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:43,670
And I think
Johnny Depp went playfully
369
00:23:43,700 --> 00:23:46,930
to put a foot out
just to tap her.
370
00:23:46,967 --> 00:23:50,427
All the people who saw it said
he didn't make contact,
371
00:23:50,467 --> 00:23:52,927
and the suggestion
he could some how
have done all the things
372
00:23:52,967 --> 00:23:56,427
she says just
couldn't have happened.
373
00:23:56,467 --> 00:24:01,167
His account was thathe was well-behavedon the plane.
374
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:06,300
He had been sketchingin his sketchbook,which he liked to do.
375
00:24:06,333 --> 00:24:12,433
Um, unfortunately
for Mr. Depp, his texts tell
a very different story.
376
00:24:12,467 --> 00:24:15,827
Mr. Depp himself wrote, um,
377
00:24:15,867 --> 00:24:19,627
a text to one of
his actor friends.
378
00:24:19,667 --> 00:24:22,467
"I'm going to properly stopthe booze thing, darling.
379
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:23,870
Drank all night
380
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:27,670
before I picked Amber upto fly to LA this past Sunday.
381
00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:29,070
Ugly, mate.
382
00:24:29,067 --> 00:24:33,127
No food for days, powders,
half a bottle of whiskey,
383
00:24:33,167 --> 00:24:35,427
a thousand Red Bull
and vodkas, pills,
384
00:24:35,467 --> 00:24:37,967
two bottles of champers
on the plane.
385
00:24:38,067 --> 00:24:39,497
And what do you get?
386
00:24:39,533 --> 00:24:42,773
An angry aggro Injun
in a fucking blackout,
387
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,930
screaming obscenities
and insulting any fuck
who got near."
388
00:24:48,533 --> 00:24:53,133
And then, um,went to the bathroom, toilet,
389
00:24:53,167 --> 00:24:54,927
the back of the plane
where he passed out.
390
00:25:04,133 --> 00:25:06,833
So,a very different storyfrom the account
391
00:25:06,867 --> 00:25:09,897
that he was quietly sketchingon the plane.
392
00:25:09,933 --> 00:25:11,373
After listening
to the recording,
393
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,770
Mr. Depp said
he didn't recognize himself.
394
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,930
It sounded more like
an animal in pain.
395
00:25:16,967 --> 00:25:19,567
It's alleged that before
he blacked out,
396
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,400
he called Amber Heard
a slut and a whore
397
00:25:22,433 --> 00:25:24,603
before slapping her
across the face
398
00:25:24,633 --> 00:25:26,533
and kicking her in the back.
399
00:25:26,567 --> 00:25:30,167
When there
was another allegation
of violence.
400
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:35,200
There were exchanges
between Mr. Depp
and one of his friends
401
00:25:35,233 --> 00:25:37,633
about the rather
unpleasant things
402
00:25:37,667 --> 00:25:40,897
they fantasized about doing
to Ms. Heard.
403
00:25:52,333 --> 00:25:53,873
The details of
this relationship
404
00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:56,770
really kind of paint a picture
of a nightmare, really.
405
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,070
Two people that
we thought were in love,
406
00:25:59,067 --> 00:26:02,297
but we now knowbecause of the testimonyin the high court
407
00:26:02,333 --> 00:26:06,203
that there wasa lot of violenceagainst Amber Heard
408
00:26:06,233 --> 00:26:08,333
and that it was
an incredibly,
409
00:26:08,367 --> 00:26:10,627
incredibly
traumatic experience.
410
00:26:33,133 --> 00:26:39,203
One of the stranger practices
of both,
Ms. Heard and Mr. Depp,
411
00:26:39,233 --> 00:26:45,403
is that they would have
an argument and record it.
412
00:26:45,433 --> 00:26:48,303
And the idea was that
they could learn from this.
413
00:26:48,333 --> 00:26:53,833
It was regarded as part of
their marriage
guidance therapy.
414
00:27:19,233 --> 00:27:21,903
There is this kind of
simplified view
with Hollywood,
415
00:27:21,933 --> 00:27:26,573
which is that the person that,
you know in the public eye
416
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,170
is the same person
that you think
they are in private, too.
417
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,100
How could this personthat I've grown up to love,
418
00:27:33,133 --> 00:27:35,433
whether it's on my TV screenor in movies,
419
00:27:35,467 --> 00:27:38,797
be anything other thanthe characters that they play.
420
00:27:38,833 --> 00:27:42,173
To them, Johnny Depp
is this amazing, famous,
421
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,830
beautiful man that
they're used to seeing on film
422
00:27:44,867 --> 00:27:46,827
and they have fallen
in love with.
423
00:27:46,867 --> 00:27:50,397
There is no way that he can
possibly be the person that
424
00:27:50,433 --> 00:27:54,873
Amber Heard has said
he is or the person that
The Sun reported him to be.
425
00:28:15,867 --> 00:28:18,067
There was a lot of
psychological abuse
426
00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:19,300
that weren't necessarily
427
00:28:19,333 --> 00:28:21,333
just the blood
and the violence
428
00:28:21,367 --> 00:28:23,867
and all of them
very graphic signs of abuse.
429
00:28:23,900 --> 00:28:27,070
There was also some
much more subtle controlling
430
00:28:27,067 --> 00:28:29,197
levels of his personality,
which are demonstrated.
431
00:28:40,533 --> 00:28:44,403
- Cut me.
432
00:28:46,233 --> 00:28:49,633
- Cut...
433
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:04,570
In the press,
there was definitely,
434
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,570
you know, a lot of reporting
of the Johnny Depp
and Amber Heard trial as,
435
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,800
you know, they were just
in a very
tempestuous relationship.
436
00:29:10,833 --> 00:29:14,333
It was a toxic pairing,
and that's a dangerous road
to go down
437
00:29:14,367 --> 00:29:16,967
because it abdicates
Johnny Depp of
any responsibility
438
00:29:17,067 --> 00:29:20,267
and it also washes awaythis idea thathe's a domestic abuser.
439
00:29:25,333 --> 00:29:28,233
In December 2015,
440
00:29:28,267 --> 00:29:33,227
Mr. Depp came to
the Eastern Columbia building
where Ms. Heard was living.
441
00:29:33,267 --> 00:29:36,167
They had an argument.
442
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:42,600
He, uh, uh, started becomingphysically violenttowards Ms. Heard,
443
00:29:42,633 --> 00:29:45,533
which became
a violent argument.
444
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:54,800
And he wrote graffiti
on the kitchen surface.
445
00:29:54,833 --> 00:29:57,433
"Why be a fraud?""All is bullshit."
446
00:29:57,467 --> 00:30:02,597
He threw her onto a bed
throwing himself
on top of her
447
00:30:02,633 --> 00:30:06,233
breaking the frame of the bed.
448
00:30:06,267 --> 00:30:08,797
He pulled her by the hair
449
00:30:08,833 --> 00:30:14,633
so hard that clumps of
her hair were actually removed
450
00:30:14,667 --> 00:30:16,927
or part of her scalpwith reddening
451
00:30:16,967 --> 00:30:18,967
where hair had been removed.
452
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,100
And in fact seen on the floorand photographed later by her.
453
00:30:24,133 --> 00:30:28,703
During the course of this,
headbutted Ms. Heard
454
00:30:28,733 --> 00:30:33,433
and injuries
that she had afterwards,
which were photographed.
455
00:30:37,167 --> 00:30:42,427
A cut to her lip, um,and a, um, bilateral bruising,
456
00:30:42,467 --> 00:30:46,967
which is photographed
at various times coming up,
457
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,100
um, which is consistent
with a bang to the nose
or a headbutt.
458
00:30:53,167 --> 00:30:59,297
Um, and these photographswere taken on the dayand on the day afterwards.
459
00:30:59,333 --> 00:31:02,373
Ms. Heard had to go on
to a chat show
460
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:07,230
the following day
and had said to her publicist
461
00:31:07,267 --> 00:31:08,867
she might
not be able to attend
462
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:12,430
because she said she'd had
an accident rather than
that she had been beaten up.
463
00:31:19,633 --> 00:31:21,673
In the movie,you play a ballerina.
464
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:22,900
Did you...
465
00:31:22,933 --> 00:31:26,573
did you study ballet,
did you already do it?
466
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:27,700
No.
467
00:31:27,733 --> 00:31:30,103
She did appearon the James Corden show.
468
00:31:30,133 --> 00:31:32,503
Makeup was applied
to her face,
469
00:31:32,533 --> 00:31:36,773
and the makeup disguised
the injuries.
470
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,900
The makeup artistdid give evidence
471
00:31:39,933 --> 00:31:42,473
and she saidwhat she had seen,
472
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:45,070
which was bilateral bruising,
473
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:49,100
a cut to the lip
and swelling around the eyes.
474
00:31:50,933 --> 00:31:53,303
So,there was supporting evidence,
475
00:31:53,333 --> 00:31:55,833
all of which fitted in
with her account.
476
00:31:58,767 --> 00:32:00,927
And then in the courtwas played a recording of
477
00:32:00,967 --> 00:32:02,127
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp.
478
00:32:02,167 --> 00:32:04,797
And in that recording,
Johnny Depp concedes
479
00:32:04,833 --> 00:32:07,733
that he did actually
headbutt Amber Heard.
480
00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:17,400
Then that is a hugely
shocking moment in a trial
481
00:32:17,433 --> 00:32:19,903
where he basically says
he wasn't violent at all.
482
00:32:19,933 --> 00:32:23,903
Here comes a moment
when Sasha Wass QC
dissects him at the stand.
483
00:32:23,933 --> 00:32:27,503
This is a masterclassin cross-examination.
484
00:32:27,533 --> 00:32:31,173
He had always denied
causing her any injury.
485
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,500
And then we have
a complete about turn
in his evidence
486
00:32:34,533 --> 00:32:37,073
when he accepted
he was responsible,
487
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:41,600
he accepted that
he headbutted her,
but said it was an accident.
488
00:32:43,867 --> 00:32:46,427
And in the court ofpublic opinionand in the high court,
489
00:32:46,467 --> 00:32:48,397
this was a moment
you could see
490
00:32:48,433 --> 00:32:51,473
where a lot of sympathy
was directed towards
Amber Heard.
491
00:33:04,233 --> 00:33:06,203
After he headbutted her,
492
00:33:06,233 --> 00:33:10,633
she started
divorce proceedings
almost immediately
493
00:33:10,667 --> 00:33:14,667
and she went to get
a domestic violence
restraining order.
494
00:33:14,700 --> 00:33:18,630
You could visibly seethat she had bruiseson the side of her face.
495
00:33:18,667 --> 00:33:20,067
Johnny and Amber's marriage
496
00:33:20,067 --> 00:33:23,067
was a massive strain
for the American press
in general.
497
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:25,270
You know, they had seemed like
this perfect couple.
498
00:33:25,300 --> 00:33:26,470
How are you feeling?
499
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:28,070
Amber,how are you feeling?
500
00:33:28,067 --> 00:33:31,297
And thenit completely exploded,everything had gone wrong.
501
00:33:33,067 --> 00:33:36,867
I was completely bombarded
on social media
by fans of Johnny
502
00:33:36,900 --> 00:33:39,970
telling me that
Amber was a gold-digger.
503
00:33:40,067 --> 00:33:43,127
Depp is worthan estimated $400 million
504
00:33:43,167 --> 00:33:46,897
and the couple reportedlydid not havea prenuptial agreement.
505
00:33:46,933 --> 00:33:50,073
And then when I saw
the pictures of her face,
506
00:33:50,067 --> 00:33:51,927
I felt really, reallysad for her.
507
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,130
When you see evidence,it can beincredibly heartbreaking.
508
00:33:58,167 --> 00:34:02,097
It just reminds you thatthere is this visual receiptof what has happened.
509
00:34:03,933 --> 00:34:05,673
And it just made me
really, really sad
510
00:34:05,700 --> 00:34:08,930
that somebody had the courage
to come out
and speak about it,
511
00:34:08,967 --> 00:34:12,167
but then had been called
a liar immediately.
512
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,800
She is a woman
that literally just thinks
the world will believe her
513
00:34:15,833 --> 00:34:17,173
because she's a woman.
514
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,400
Do I feel that she is
515
00:34:19,433 --> 00:34:23,173
a victim of a physical,
abusive relationship?
516
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,930
No. I don't feel that at all.
517
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,200
On or around the time of
the actual divorce,
518
00:35:11,233 --> 00:35:16,903
Mr. Depp wrote
a series of... vile texts...
519
00:35:19,233 --> 00:35:24,533
describing her inreally very misogynistic terms
520
00:35:24,567 --> 00:35:30,067
and vowing that
he was going to damage her,
521
00:35:30,067 --> 00:35:31,467
if not destroy her.
522
00:35:49,167 --> 00:35:54,427
My company focuses on
disinformation online,
targeted attacks.
523
00:35:54,467 --> 00:35:59,297
And so, we're kind of like
online investigators
for celebrities
524
00:35:59,333 --> 00:36:01,073
and high-profile figures.
525
00:36:01,100 --> 00:36:06,130
Early 2020, we were contacted
to look at activity on Twitter
526
00:36:06,167 --> 00:36:08,727
and we were able to determine
527
00:36:08,767 --> 00:36:12,397
close to 6,000 fake
or inauthentic accounts
528
00:36:12,433 --> 00:36:15,703
that were targeting Ms. Heard,
Amber Heard.
529
00:36:15,733 --> 00:36:21,073
Definitely the smear campaign,definitely the coordinatedinfluence campaign,
530
00:36:21,067 --> 00:36:23,427
really didn't haveto be a pro to see it.
531
00:36:23,467 --> 00:36:26,267
If you just looked
at the tweets and see that,
532
00:36:26,300 --> 00:36:30,230
hey, this account within
10 minutes tweeted 30 times
533
00:36:30,267 --> 00:36:33,867
or so that Amber Heard
is an abuser.
534
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:36,630
Amber Heard is a gold-digger.
Amber Heard is a slut.
535
00:36:36,667 --> 00:36:38,667
And that's
all this account is doing.
536
00:36:38,700 --> 00:36:42,270
And then you amplify
that with dozens of
other accounts doing
537
00:36:42,300 --> 00:36:44,500
the same exact thing.
538
00:36:44,533 --> 00:36:49,473
And it appeared to us
that it wasn't just
some disgruntled fans,
539
00:36:49,500 --> 00:36:52,570
you know, banding together
to attack Ms. Heard.
540
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,970
It was a targeted operation,
541
00:36:56,067 --> 00:36:58,367
and it was one ofthe most sophisticated
542
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,530
online targeted attackswe had seen.
543
00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:10,330
Leading upto the judgment,
544
00:37:10,367 --> 00:37:13,697
definitely the court ofpublic opinionand the journalists outside,
545
00:37:13,733 --> 00:37:15,903
and, you know,swathes of people
546
00:37:15,933 --> 00:37:18,803
started to start to
believe Johnny Depp's side.
547
00:37:18,833 --> 00:37:22,973
You know, I don't think
people were entirely convinced
by Amber Heard.
548
00:37:23,067 --> 00:37:26,327
When we see these tabloids,
we really need to think
and reflect,
549
00:37:26,367 --> 00:37:29,627
is this true
or is this not true?
550
00:37:29,667 --> 00:37:33,627
There were assertionsbeing made about Ms. Heard,about her character,
551
00:37:33,667 --> 00:37:37,297
about her reliability,about her integrity.
552
00:37:37,333 --> 00:37:40,073
Ms. Heard was a fantasist.
She was a liar.
553
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:42,530
She was a drunk.
She was a drug addict.
554
00:37:42,567 --> 00:37:49,367
She was a promiscuous woman,
so that her character was,
in effect, destroyed.
555
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,070
I've watched every...
every blog, every Twitter,
556
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:55,800
every YouTube figure,
every paper.
557
00:37:55,833 --> 00:37:57,703
Yeah, there's not muchI have missed.
558
00:37:59,333 --> 00:38:01,433
There's absolutely no evidence
559
00:38:01,467 --> 00:38:03,627
towards her
so-called evidence.
560
00:38:03,667 --> 00:38:05,927
Oh, I think
she's very, very deceitful.
561
00:38:05,967 --> 00:38:08,067
Very, I think
she's manipulated it,
562
00:38:08,067 --> 00:38:11,127
the whole situation
very, very well.
563
00:38:11,167 --> 00:38:15,167
You are a piece ofhuman garbage!Get hit by a truck, Amber.
564
00:38:22,533 --> 00:38:25,073
I don't think
he did this, personally.
565
00:38:25,067 --> 00:38:27,327
This can only go now
in Johnny Depp's favor.
566
00:38:44,467 --> 00:38:46,427
And now the relationship ends
567
00:38:46,467 --> 00:38:49,297
as it beganwith the world watching on.
568
00:38:51,167 --> 00:38:52,827
Whoever emerges the winner,
569
00:38:52,867 --> 00:38:55,227
there's been a lot ofdirty laundry aired
570
00:38:55,267 --> 00:38:58,897
and a lot of damage done toreputations on both sides.
571
00:38:58,933 --> 00:39:02,633
Johnny, we love you!
572
00:39:02,667 --> 00:39:06,797
You hada huge army of fansthat supported Johnny Depp.
573
00:39:12,767 --> 00:39:16,897
For Amber,the fans were definitelymuch harder to find.
574
00:39:19,167 --> 00:39:21,167
There were no fans for
Amber Heard
outside of the court.
575
00:39:22,767 --> 00:39:24,267
For Amber to go to court
576
00:39:24,300 --> 00:39:27,700
when she had beenabsolutely harassedby the Johnny fans
577
00:39:27,733 --> 00:39:30,573
and then also beinga victim of a smear campaign
578
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,530
in the press took
a lot of bravery.
579
00:39:49,900 --> 00:39:53,100
Johnny Depp
has lost his fight
with a British tabloid.
580
00:39:53,133 --> 00:39:55,303
A London court sided
with the paper,
581
00:39:55,333 --> 00:39:59,673
saying that the 2018 headlinethat read Johnny wasa wife beater was true.
582
00:39:59,700 --> 00:40:01,570
JudgeMr. Justice Nicol found that
583
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,370
twelve of the fourteenalleged incidents ofdomestic violence were,
584
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,070
in his words,substantially true.
585
00:40:08,100 --> 00:40:11,430
Johnny Depp lost
his libel case
against The Sun.
586
00:40:11,467 --> 00:40:15,327
Just when you saw that
flash up on Sky News
and BBC News,
587
00:40:15,367 --> 00:40:18,067
there was huge kind of gasps.
588
00:40:18,100 --> 00:40:20,070
The judge said thatAmber Heard was no angel,
589
00:40:20,100 --> 00:40:23,070
but that she was the victim
of an abuser.
590
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:25,000
And this wasan earth-shattering moment
591
00:40:25,033 --> 00:40:28,903
and vindicated Amber Heard
and was catastrophic
for Johnny Depp,
592
00:40:28,933 --> 00:40:31,033
who, of course, had brought
this action himself.
593
00:40:31,067 --> 00:40:35,667
It was his decision
to take this libel action,
nobody else's.
594
00:40:35,700 --> 00:40:36,930
Today, the judge ruled
595
00:40:36,967 --> 00:40:39,527
that the article wassubstantially true
596
00:40:39,567 --> 00:40:41,727
and that a majority ofthe alleged assaults
597
00:40:41,767 --> 00:40:45,127
had been provedto the civil standard.
598
00:40:45,167 --> 00:40:48,497
The judgedismissed the idea thatMs. Heard was a gold-digger
599
00:40:48,533 --> 00:40:52,033
and accepted her careerprobably being damagedby the revelations.
600
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:59,870
It has been incredibly painful
to relive the breakup
of my relationship,
601
00:40:59,900 --> 00:41:03,500
to have my motives,
my truth questioned...
602
00:41:05,333 --> 00:41:10,433
and the most traumatic
and intimate details
of my life with Johnny
603
00:41:10,467 --> 00:41:15,397
shared in court and broadcast
to the entire world.
604
00:41:18,833 --> 00:41:21,533
Lawyersfor Depp saidthe court's verdict was
605
00:41:21,567 --> 00:41:25,927
"as perverseas it is bewildering."
606
00:41:25,967 --> 00:41:29,597
"Most troublingis the judge's reliance onthe testimony of Amber Heard."
607
00:41:31,433 --> 00:41:34,233
Johnny was somebodywho was usedto getting his way.
608
00:41:34,267 --> 00:41:37,067
He'd been famous foran incredibly long time.
609
00:41:37,067 --> 00:41:39,267
He was usedto being surrounded by
610
00:41:39,300 --> 00:41:43,700
people who would give himwhatever he wanted,say yes to whatever he needed.
611
00:41:43,733 --> 00:41:47,303
I don't know if he thought
that this was going to be
any different
612
00:41:47,333 --> 00:41:48,703
because he was Johnny Depp.
613
00:41:48,733 --> 00:41:50,703
He was used
to getting his way.
614
00:41:50,733 --> 00:41:55,173
And I'm not sure that
he even possibly contemplated
that he might not win.
615
00:42:04,733 --> 00:42:07,073
Johnny Deppis stepping downfrom his role
616
00:42:07,067 --> 00:42:09,097
in the Fantastic Beastsfranchise
617
00:42:09,133 --> 00:42:11,673
just days afterlosing his libel lawsuit.
618
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,300
The case startedbecause of a story in The Sun
619
00:42:15,333 --> 00:42:18,673
about Johnny Depp being castin The Fantastic Beasts movie
620
00:42:18,700 --> 00:42:22,470
and days afterhe lost his libel trial,Warner Brothers announced
621
00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:24,900
that he would leavethe franchise.
622
00:42:24,933 --> 00:42:27,503
This was obviouslyvery, very bad for him
623
00:42:27,533 --> 00:42:30,473
and could beincredibly damagingfor the rest of his career.
624
00:42:33,967 --> 00:42:35,397
Confident, Miss Wass?
625
00:42:35,433 --> 00:42:36,603
Yeah?
626
00:42:42,533 --> 00:42:47,433
Two judges heard the appeal,
um, and rejected it.
627
00:42:47,467 --> 00:42:50,327
They are set to go to trial
in Virginia next February,
628
00:42:50,367 --> 00:42:52,397
the judge believes
it's gonna take about 12 days.
629
00:42:56,333 --> 00:42:58,103
The fight goes onfor Johnny Depp.
630
00:42:58,133 --> 00:43:01,333
His lawyers continue
to fight for his innocence.
631
00:43:01,367 --> 00:43:04,067
And that's exactly
what we're gonna see
in Virginia as well.
632
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:06,670
It is a landmark moment
633
00:43:06,700 --> 00:43:08,170
for survivorsof domestic abuse.
634
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,200
It shows if you're an abuser,you're gonna be found out.
635
00:43:11,233 --> 00:43:13,903
Many, manydomestic violence cases
636
00:43:13,933 --> 00:43:17,503
depend on one person's wordagainst the other.
637
00:43:17,533 --> 00:43:20,903
In this case,
there was a wealth of evidence
638
00:43:20,933 --> 00:43:23,973
entirely independent
of Ms. Heard,
639
00:43:24,067 --> 00:43:27,197
but evidence which supported
what she said.
640
00:43:27,233 --> 00:43:32,233
The judge was persuaded
by not only Ms. Heard herself,
641
00:43:32,267 --> 00:43:35,827
but by that independent
supporting evidence.
642
00:43:35,867 --> 00:43:38,627
So, I wasn't, um, surprised.
643
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,530
Whether you likeAmber Heard or notit is completely irrelevant.
644
00:43:43,567 --> 00:43:45,567
This case was aboutdomestic abuse,
645
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,900
and I think it shows us
domestic abuse
646
00:43:47,933 --> 00:43:49,703
and coercive control
can happen to anybody.
647
00:43:52,100 --> 00:43:54,530
I think people havethis idea that, you know,
648
00:43:54,567 --> 00:43:56,227
because Johnny Deppwas charming
649
00:43:56,267 --> 00:43:59,067
and quietly-spoken
and was handsome
650
00:43:59,100 --> 00:44:02,600
and, you know,
that he couldn't possibly be
a domestic abuser.
651
00:44:02,633 --> 00:44:05,533
And as we know,
abusers have
redeeming features,
652
00:44:05,567 --> 00:44:10,067
so, do all human beings
and I think this really
was a moment for people
653
00:44:10,100 --> 00:44:13,670
to realize that
it can happen to anybody.
654
00:44:15,700 --> 00:44:17,500
You have given me
so much strength...
655
00:44:19,333 --> 00:44:20,733
and I send it back to you.
656
00:44:22,767 --> 00:44:24,397
Thank you.
