according to amber heard, yeah, johnny depp, there was physical as well that amber heard did. yes. but going back to what i was trying to say, i do think that overall this trial will hurt amber heard's reputation more because there's the audio where she admitted to hitting johnny depp. she also admitted that she didn't donate the divorce settlement money when she received praise for doing that. johnny depp's reputation was so damaged before the trial, i don't think it could have been more so. and he proved that he wasn't the only aggressor here. >> emily: gillian, you're on team please, god, get us a verdict. but this was captivating globally. people flied in to get this front seat to this train wreck. it had star-studded witnesses and amber used a bruise kit to create a bruise. everybody was parsing out the comments. it provided a lot of fodder. people are waiting for the explosive moment. what say you? >> gillian: i encountered some of those fans in fairfax, virginia. i covered the trial a couple days. i will reserve judgment on whose side i'm on. i'm not choosing sides even when

and why johnny depp's legal victory over amber heard has become such a media obsession. if joe biden had one core message in his speech, it was enough. it was, do anything. -- do something. and the public's sharply disagreed on what that something should be or whether it has a snowball's chance of passing. >> after columbine, after sandy hook, after charleston, after orlando, after las vegas, after parkland nothing has been done. this time that can't be true. this time we must actually do something. this isn't about taking away anyone's rights. it's the about protecting children. it's about protecting families. >> the president says he's had enough, you've had enough, i've had enough, we've all had enough. >> joe biden decided to leverage the murder of 19 children in texas for political advantage. he just spoke at some length from the white house about the need to disarm the population. >> when he said the majority of republicans oppose this, that could be interpreted -- >> it's unconscionable. >> i i think the president there channeled a lot of the horror and gut-wrench

amber heard says she's heartbroken. she did win part of a libel case over an allegation of carrying out a hoax, but forjohnny depp's team, celebrations. in a statement, he said he had his life back — the long legal battle is finally over. david sillito, bbc news, fairfax, virginia.

it says in this case these jurors didn't believe amber heard. when you listen to the statement from amber heard's lawyer, it's basically insulting the jurors, saying that these jurors were too blinded by his power and fame. couldn't be that they saw the evidence. people who saw the evidence had real problems with amber heard's account. >> alabama v. king, martin luther king and the civil trial that launched the civil rights movement. you wrote the book with fred gray. how important was this case in establishing king as a national civil rights leader? >> it was the case. martin luther king was a local minister who had been asked by fred gray and one other person to be the spokesperson for this boycott that they were conducting in montgomery of the busses. that became a very successful boycott. it became so successful that the local authorities said we got to get these people back on the busses, how are we going to do it? let's prosecute martin luther king based on some ancient boy sc boycott statute. the first time he's ever mentioned in the nati

amber heard has not ever been in anything like that. that means there are a lot of people who are already on his side, and emotionally invested in him. there's also some evidence that johnny depp as occasionally used bots to inflate support for him online, and sort of -- i would not want to suggest that every johnny depp supporter is a bot, but that does seem to be a way that we've seen his attempt to make it appear that the public opinion is more united on his side than it perhaps might be. also worth noting that a number of conservative outlets have found that this story is extremely good for their brand. we've seen things like the daily wire getting millions of dollars into videos and articles that are heavily biased against amber heard. it's a narrative that is essentially very good for business. but i think what's most important here and what is really worth digging into its that we live in a culture that is profoundly biased against women who come forward and say that they have been hurt by very powerful men. and when that man is

amber heard said the disappointed she feels is beyond words. let's go live to out correspondent nomia iqbal, who is outside the courtroom in fairfax, virginia. i'v e i've been watching us over the past hour, you've been right there— let's get to the part where the jury and thejudge came in, everyone was standing up, then it turned out the paperwork hadn't been filled out correctly and out they filed again. that's right, because thejury that's right, because the jury of five men and two women had to also decide what damages they would award both individuals. that led to this whole flurry of speculation because if you're awarding damages, it means that somebody has one. a short while later, they delivered their verdict. and as that verdict was delivered, which ruled in favour ofjohnny depp, the reaction outside the court was quite something. you have a lot ofjohnny depp supporters out here who've been here for the six week trial. it is overwhelmingly in support ofjohnny depp, they started shouting, cheering, and shouting his name. just a remind

amber heard had alleged she had endured years of abuse. the jury didn't believe her. however, her lawyers are not giving up yet. her next move is appeal. she is heartbroken... she is heartbroken, and one of the first things that she said when she came back from the verdict, when we went into the conference room was, "i am so sorry to all of these women". this is a case that's struck deep. online, it has become almost inescapable. i've been following it on, like, tiktok and stuff... i you've been following it on what? tiktok. if you go on tiktok, - it kind of, like, appears in yourfeed. i think it's really weird to publicise a domestic abuse trial like that. the number of views of videos with the hashtag #justiceforjohnnydepp has now topped 19.5 billion. yes, 19.5 billion. this online torrent has left many deeply concerned. i fear that the impact will be quite negative — from the memes, to the hashtags, to the online bullying — victims are watching this, and they are thinking about, "how will i be treated, if i come forward?" and it should be noted, in a previous u

amber heard with the much smaller when our both camps responding to the verdict. vastly different. as you can imagine, this is a straight victory for johnny debt, and he acknowledges it in his statement that he recently released, he basically said our false very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media which triggered an endless garage of hateful content. basically, and he said in 6 years later, the jury awarded me and gave me my life back. i am truly humbler. so as you can see was extremely, extremely elated. on the other hand, we have amber, hard reacting and basically saying the disappointment i feel today is beyond words . i'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still wasn't enough to to stand up to the disproportionate power. so vastly different reactions from this voting. obviously amber hurt extremely disappointed, even though she walked away with $2000000.00 be awarded to $1000000.00. i her counter claim and johnny debt having a clue victory. there was also the court of public opinion which had its own a clear window for weeks. why do you think

katie, is it fair to say -- during this trial, amber heard has been silenced? because both parties literally just heather day in court. >> i don't think it's a fair statement to say that amber heard was silenced in anyway, and recall also, stephanie, there is a similar lawsuit brought by johnny depp in the united kingdom where he lost. where he sued the sun tabloid for the same concept, and a judge in that case said, no, i found 12 separate instances of domestic battery committed by you, johnny depp, the differences you have it in front of it jury, the court of public opinion basically crucified amber heard before this case was even brought to the jury to decide. and that's a critical kind of take away from this case as well, the fact that, according to liz, its people entered into this very sort of relationship that existed between john adept and amber heard, allowed a lot of the court of opinion to weigh in. i also want to stake very quickly, stephanie, this op-ed was an op-ed. so, another kind of legal ramification is that you can have legal exposure when yo

they were not even a fraction of a percent of that for amber heard. but this, this rule of public opinion is definitely going to come up again if she appeals the case because the jury was not sequestered, meaning they had access to this public discourse. and it seems plausible that it may have influenced them. now, obviously a huge media spectacle. what does that mean essentially, for their careers in hollywood? well, i think with johnny depp it's, it's imaginable that there are still some filmmakers who won't want to touch him. also based on that ruling in london that he was a quote unquote wife beater. um, but he's call it clearly shown that he has a big fan base. he is relevant again, his stock is way up and amber heard on the other hand, her stock is way down. there's a petition out there to get her thrown out of the next aqua man film. i don't think that we're going to see her again in a blockbuster film, at least for a long time. fascinating stuff. david levitz from d. w culture. thank so much. now the united kingdom is beginning a 4 day celebra

heard, but amber heard is not monica lewinsky. she's not a 21-year-old with no power, no pr team, no money. that is not where we are. so it is disturbing that men who have more power and more money across the world are suing victims who speak out. an example is patrick devoire, a famous anchor in france, 30 women came forward and said he was sexually violent toward him, many who worked for him, incredible power relationship, many 20, 30 years younger than him. he's using defamation to silence those women and suing 20 of them. so it is dangerous to silence victims. but it is also important that we always focus on the truth. the truth is really -- and in a democracy, jury trials are really the best way to find the truth. i wasn't able to watch the trial in london, so there has been some testimony in this trial that a lot of evidence was excluded in london. i don't know. it wasn't a jury. it was a judge. >> it is -- nancy, it is a good point that you make there. nancy, we'll continue this conversation another day as well. nancy erika

johnny depp's way was to prove that amber heard was lying. and there was ample evidence to back that up. and he had a good masterful legal team who was able to present that evidence and the life that it should have and that's how he was able to essentially clear his name. this is a case about vindication for a man who was lied about. and that should also have a ripple effect going forward. i work in this field all the time, bret. many, many people claim they are lied about. it's not as easy to show as perhaps it was in this case. amber thinks there was a mountain of evidence in her favor there was a mountain of evidence, all right, a mountain of evidence that she lied. and the jury confirmed that. >> bret: yeah. >> last thing, if johnny depp is your client, do you put him in that courtroom? >> for the verdict? i would have. he didn't have to be there. i get it, johnny depp knew he won when he walked out regardless of what this jury was going to do. he is never going to see a dime. he doesn't need the dime. i would have put him in there just s

meanwhile, amber heard, now down $13 million, was less upbeat.

this evidence that was put on during the case of amber heard hitting johnny depp, amber heard being the abuser. in my opinion, i think that evidence should not have come in because it's what's called in a civil court inadmissible character evidence. remember, johnny depp never sued amber heard for i assault or battery. he sued her for defamation, so i was surprised that all this evidence of amber heard's violence came into evidence during the trial. stuart: brian claypool, thanks very much for being with us. great coverage yesterday on fox news. i was watching you. >> i appreciate it. stuart: if you want to know more, we have fox nation specials for you, who's amber heard? who's johnny depp? available now to stream on fox nation. >>> dave portnoy taking aim at the washington postfor their role in the defamation case. what's he saying? lauren: he's saying paper is responsible because it gave her a platform and did the not vet her story. >> my question, she posted this thing basically saying johnny depp hit her, abused her, can did all these horrible things, sexual deviancy, all this
