''Who Trolled Amber'' podcast

The highlights of each episode from the podcast. You can listen to it on Spotify, Youtube etc. EPISODE 1.

The outcome of the trial definitely damaged #METOO movement;

There were 80k of anti Amber Heard tweets, more than anti JD tweets even though AH was the one who accused him of abuse;

There's no way it was all organic, they either bought bots or those were real people pretending to be JD's supporters;

According to Jennifer Robinson, one of AH lawyers from the UK trial, Amber'd never wanted to relieve what had happened to her during the relationship;

Jennifer thought it'd be easier to win the US than in the UK;

The information about bots were thrown out way before the trial hence Ron Shnell couldn't talk about in the courtroom; EPISODE 2.

According to Ron Shnell there was a bot campaign against AH but he wasn't 100% sure because the judge struck out that research;

Kathryn Arnold shared that AH wasn't allowed to be a part of Aquaman 2 promotion tour and was banned from posting anything Aquaman related;

KA also said that AH couldn't audition, no one would hire her and that the agents were told not to touch her[AH]; EPISODE 3

The podcast creators asked experts(Kai-Cheng Yang) to check the date that was given by Ron Shnell;

According to the data: many accounts with no followers had tweets with more than 5k retweets/likes; hundreds of identical tweets were posted in one day; many accounts liked 400k tweets; 10k of identical comments were left under AH youtube videos; many accounts change their tune(from right wing Chile politics) and out of nowhere started to post pro JD tweets; half oh the data/accounts/tweets were generated by inauthentic accounts and then the real accounts started to engage with those tweets etc. it all started in November 2020 when JD lost the UK case and was fired from Fantastic Beasts; EPISODE 4

Cameron Herrin case was mentioned, more specifically the sudden interest and pro CH posts on TikTok asking to reduce his sentence and that he is innocent. Most of the accounts that were spreading those posts were from Middle East; EPISODE 5

Some Arabic twitter accounts suddenly started to tweet Pro JD tweets in English during and after the US trial;

The friendship betweet Johnny Depp and prince Mohammed was mentioned(him financing JD directorial movie Modi); EPISODE 6

Adam Waldman worked for Lavrov as a consultant for years(2010-2017);

During the deposition Adam Waldman refused to answer more than 70 questions;

Alexi Mostrous tried contacting ''the internet journalists'' aka TUG and ThatBrianFella but they didn't answer; he also pointed out that the audios that were posted by ThatBrianFella were clearly edited(we know);

Mostrous also tried to call Adam Waldman but he didn't pick up the phone and 25 minutes later posted a tweet:

“He[Adam Waldman] attacked witnesses, he attacked us (legal team)..unlike anything I have ever seen from a lawyer” said Jennifer Robinson. ''Amber Heard wrote an Op-ed for Washington Post which is a very respected publication and Johnny Depp's name isn't in it. It told to survivors if this can be done to a woman whose actually well-known and well-established person in the industry, it's gonna be even worse for you.'' All-in-All, it's clear as day that Waldman was behind the bot campaign against Amber. We've known that but it's good that a popular podcast researched about it and shed a light on it. Plus it's always great to see JD fans being nervous and panicky.

Johnny Depp is reportedly dating a new girlfriend- a 28 year old (Depp is 61) Russian beautician and model named Yulia Valasova (this is not the first time in recent years that Depp has dated a much younger Russian woman).

Now, I'm not saying that anyone from Russia is necessarily an agent of the Kremlin. But:

The Kremlin has been reported to use agents, posing as ordinary Russian citizens, to make friends with prominent Westerners and influence them.

It is also known to seek out powerful, influential Westerners with big egos and lots of baggage (ie, Kompromat) to groom as assets, the former President being the highest-profile example.

And Depp's chief fixer Adam Waldman* previously worked with/for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, Julian Assange, and Russian foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, and was involved in efforts to cover up Russian interference in the 2016 US election.

Depp is a bit of a has-been now, but he has lots of powerful friends in Hollywood, and his cause is celebrated by the MRA/incel crowd on the right, while also having some crossover/fandom appeal to other demographics (a little-known fact is that polling around the trial showed Depp's support was strongest with women and youth).

And we already know Depp is friends with the ruler of Saudi Arabia, and that a lot of the online hate directed at Heard has been traced back to Saudi bots, so evidently a foreign government thought they could use the intense hype around the trial as part of an influence campaign.

So, from where I'm standing, it looks to me VERY much like Depp is being groomed as a Russian asset.

*Its a shame that Waldman is mostly known only for his involvement in Depp v Heard (and even there, he largely flew below the radar due to being kicked off the case early on by a judge for leaking information to the media, with Camille Vasquez getting most of the attention from Depp's legal team). Waldman is a DEEPLY shady and dangerous man who has been closely-involved in efforts by a foreign enemy to undermine the United States and install fascist government, and deserves far more rigorous scrutiny (and serious legal consequences, starting with disbarment, and ending in prison).

Funny thing is, Adam Waldman is actually really lucky (or really good at flying below the radar) that his shit with Depp is what he's best-known for. Also that he got his ass kicked off the case before it went to trial, so he largely escaped notice even for that.

Scrutiny is to be avoided when one's resume includes Oleg Deripaska, Julian Assange, Sergei fucking Lavrov, and Trump-Russia.

Enter the Room (2025): Brilliance in One Act

The 2025 short film Enter the Room is brilliance in one act. Filmmakers like Harry Waldman are the reason I love short films. If done properly, these creative bits of ingenuity knock one’s socks off. Waldman is another one with vision and his horror film Enter the Room has a solid punchline. One that will leave you almost breathless with sudden understanding. The story Brian lives alone. His…

[originalleftist]

Reminder that Johnny Depp isn't just a court-proven domestic abuser and r*pist (#UKVerdict), he has been getting in legal trouble for violence assault for as long as I've been alive (I'm in my mid-30s), pretended to be Native America and acted in Brown Face, promised to buy Wounded Knee for indigenous people and never gave a cent, went shopping for Hitler memorabilia with Marilyn Manson, and is close pals with the ruler of Saudi Arabia Mohamed Bin Salman, aka Prince Bone-Saw.

Oh, and his fixer Adam Waldman is a (former?) lawyer for Russian oligarchs/government officials who was neck-deep in Trump/Russia.

[br4in-r0tten]

these came to be when I had a phase on Frankenstein but my style was going thru rough times back then so I never posted them lol

rambling below:

I plan to finally make some decent art for this crossover cuz I think it's funky

I watched a full 1,5 hr Wendigoon vid on it and it held me so hard in it's grasp that I had to listen to the whole Frankenstein audiobook lmao

I don't remember the full plot now but from my notes written earlier:

Twilight - Victor Frankenstein Rainbow - Henry Clerval (best friend of Victor, the homie that supports him even when he's being sketchy) Rarity - Elizabeth Lavenza (the adopted sister of Victor, beautiful and resourceful) Spike - William Frankenstein (Victor's younger brother, the one who dies in the story) Fluttershy - Justine Moritz (the beautiful girl who died by being wrongfully convicted) Luna - Krempe (the "worse" teacher) Celestia - Waldman (the "better" teacher) Discord - Adam (the creature) Big Macintosh - Felix (De Lacey's family's son) Applejack - Agatha (De Lacey's family's daughter) Granny - De Lacey (blind grandpa) Sugarbelle - Saphie (Felix's wife)

Twilight Frankensparkle is a top student and too excited to study new magic, of course Celestia is there to support her. Luna is against this as it can be too dangerous. Finally, Twilight gets a very ambitious idea of making a v magically powerful creature just to see if she can. The creature has new type of magic attached to it - chaos.

In the original story the Monster thought that Justine is beautiful and I could not help myself with Discord x Fluttershy shipping

as for the De Lacey's family I could not think of anyone else who would fit but I think it works

Sixty years after he first began serializing it in the Yiddish press, and 42 years after publisher Alfred A. Knopf acquired the book, “Sons and Daughters” — the last novel by the late, great Yiddish novelist Chaim Grade — is landing in bookstores this week. 

To call it “long-awaited” is an understatement. 

How the novel came to be published in English translation is a story of family intrigue, literary detective work and dogged creativity on the part of its translator and editors. 

The result, a sprawling 600-plus-page book about a rabbi in 1930s Lithuania and the different paths taken by his children, is “quite probably the last great Yiddish novel,” the critic Adam Kirsch writes in an introduction. Dwight Garner, in a New York Times review, calls it “a melancholy book that also happens to be hopelessly, miraculously, unremittingly funny.”

“We could not have let this die. It had to be out there,” said the book’s translator, Rose Waldman, in an interview. “It had to be available to the English speaker.” 

Waldman was hired in 2015 to translate a manuscript that had already taken a circuitous route from Grade’s typewriter to the cluttered rooms of his Bronx apartment to the limbo of probate law.

How Scream VI parallels the Depp Vs Heard Trial

It's been two years since the Virginia trial took place, while it's been three years involving the UK trial. In the UK trial, Johnny Depp was certified as a wife-beater that The Sun called him and was found to abuse and sexually assaulted Amber Heard 12 of 14 incidents. Johnny Depp is proven to be an abuser by the jury. The concept of this trial with Depp suing amber for mentioning him in her op-ed was told by the jury to never speak about the abuse despite never doing that in the first place.

2022 was the worst years for Amber , considering that she dealt with mockery and was humiliated by the public while forcing to talk about the abuse that she suffered by Depp. The Depp vs. Heard Case has been the most talked about trial in history. While some tv shows have tackled the topic on what happened to have their characters parallel the real life counterparts. A few only showed the perspective of the victim whose dealing with the consequences of defending themselves.

In Scream (2022), it revealed that Richie Kirsch is one of the ghostface killers along with a 17 year old amber freeman. I bring age into this because it is actually important to Johnny Depp as a person. Richie is killed by Sam, where she stabs him 22 times. After the events of Scream (2022), Gale Weathers would end up writing a book about what happened. She describes Sam as being "mentally unstable and a born killer." While I'm not a fan of what they did to Gale. She's represents the media, and now the media will twist things.

Throughout the Scream franchise, Gale Weathers has a tremendous redemption arc, and her relationship with Sidney improves as the movies go. Gale Weather is the media, and while she writes non-fictional books about the ghostface murders. She still writes it like it's fictional. While I'm not sure how she portrayed Sidney in her 3 books involving her. Her book "Requel: Terror Return to Woodsboro" appears to portray Sam as mentally ill and has violent tendencies to make her be the killer rather than the victim.

News articles like The Daily Mail have portrayed Amber as the abuser and taking things out of context to make her look like she's the crazy one. That the Misinformation and the incorrect portrayal of amber will also stem from misogyny.

It wouldn't be that far fetch if in the Scream universe, there are youtube videos of people releasing misinformation about Sam. When Sam and Tara were leaving the police station, one of the reporters asked Tara if she felt safe with her sister. In one scene, Sam gets cherry coke thrown at her where she reacts to it while the girls throw insults at Sam. Later on the news, they cut the part where the girl throws the coke at Sam. So it looks like Sam was trying to attack this girl for no reason.

This parallels Amber Heard when the audio was released back in 2020. They only released the edited version, so important parts were cut out to make Amber look like a liar and an abuser.

In Scream VI, it revealed that there are three ghostface killers. Detective Bailey and his kids Quinn Bailey and Ethan Landry. While I'm unsure who Ethan represents. Detective Bailey seems to represent lawyers like Adam Waldman. Detective Bailey turns out to the father of Richie Kirsch who enabled his son's behaviour involving his love for movies which is similar to Adam Waldman enabling Depp's behaviour towards Amber by volunteering to help.

While Quinn represents people like Lauren B and That Umbrella Guy by helping her father to smear and ruin Sam's name and reputation since everybody is going to believe the bad things in people. This is more so punishment towards Sam for fighting back, similar to Amber.

Johnny Depp and Richie Kirsch even have similarities to each other. Earlier, I mentioned Amber Freeman's age as she is 17 years old while Richie is in his mid-20s. Because Amber Freeman was Richie's accomplice and met her at a Stab reddit forum. Richie does represent redditers who groomed underage girls. The way he portrayed himself as this dorky, kind person similar to how Johnny Depp portrayed himself as this calm, nice guy who just wants to make music.

In reality, Richie Kirsch and Johnny Depp are both predators who prey on girls who are 20-30 years younger than them. They are also both abusers with Richie wanting to kill Sam while Depp wanting to humiliate Amber.

Both Amber Heard and Sam Carpertner suffered from the perfect victim. Where as Perfect Victim they must act a certain way. This mean not fighting back and talking bad about their own abuser. However, the perfect victim doesn't exist. In both situations, Amber and Sam have described as their abusers to be man babies who cry and complain like little babies when they do fight back.

What they're doing is standing up and throwing their feelings out due to the abuse that they both had to suffer. It is something a victim wanted to say for a long time, but they didn't think they had the courage to do so.

Re: Conversations about Frankenstein

I acknowledge that Frankenstein (the novel) inspired themes and ideas used in science fiction today. That's what should matter with Frankenstein. And I admit that there can be a fine line between fantasy and science fiction. Ghostbusters is scifi and fantasy neatly blended.

So why am I reluctant to consider Frankenstein scifi? well, partly because people say it for the wrong reasons.

2. What frustrates me is that a lot of the reasoning for classifying it as scifi are false. Victor brought his creature to life by the light of a single half-burnt-out candle on a cold, November night at about one fifteen in the morning. There's no mention of lightning. No reanimated corpse.

Victor studied corpses and may have taken raw materials from charnal houses, graveyards, and slaughter houses (suggesting animal parts too) but nothing is confirmed. As Victor tells Captain Walton "The secret dies with me.

3. Victor Found the secret of life while reading the works of Agrippa and Paracelsus. An alchemist and self-proclaimed sorcerer. Yes, alchemy gave us chemistry but even by 1818 staandards these were not considered scientific sources. In fact Victor's teacher, Professor Waldman scolds and teases him for reading these antiquated books.

4. Victor was not a medical doctor. He was a student of metaphysics and he never graduated.

5. The only spot in Frankenstein where Galvanization is even mentioned.

"When I was about fifteen years old we had retired to our house near Belrive, when we witnessed a most violent and terrible thunderstorm. It advanced from behind the mountains of Jura, and the thunder burst at once with frightful loudness from various quarters of the heavens. I remained, while the storm lasted, watching its progress with curiosity and delight. As I stood at the door, on a sudden I beheld a stream of fire issue from an old and beautiful oak which stood about twenty yards from our house; and so soon as the dazzling light vanished, the oak had disappeared, and nothing remained but a blasted stump. When we visited it the next morning, we found the tree shattered in a singular manner. It was not splintered by the shock, but entirely reduced to thin ribbons of wood. I never beheld anything so utterly destroyed.

Before this I was not unacquainted with the more obvious laws of electricity. On this occasion a man of great research in natural philosophy was with us, and excited by this catastrophe, he entered on the explanation of a theory which he had formed on the subject of electricity and galvanism, which was at once new and astonishing to me. All that he said threw greatly into the shade Cornelius Agrippa, Albertus Magnus, and Paracelsus, the lords of my imagination; but by some fatality the overthrow of these men disinclined me to pursue my accustomed studies. It seemed to me as if nothing would or could ever be known."

This is the only spot in Frankenstein (Chapter 3) where galvanization is mentioned.

6. When we call Mary Shelley the inventor of Scifi or science fiction literature I feel we are doing a disservice to Margaret Cavendish, author of the 1666 feminist novel, The Blazing World, which had an (for her) idealized utopian alternate universe. I've heard the argument "But that's more isekai." But lots of isekai is scifi. As I said, there's a blurred line between fantasy and scifi. Magick, ghosts, technology, and aliens all exist in DC and Marvel comics after all.

The Blazing World might have been more fantasy than scifi but Utopias and Distopias have been a fixture of science fiction for a long time.

7. We also ignore that Goethe's Faust Part 2 features time travel and the creation of a homunculus in a laboratory by Wagner, Faust's former assistant. Why does Frankenstein count but not the laboratory-created Homunculus in Faust Part 2?

Or while we're at it, what about the Golems of Hebreow lore? In Dungeons and Dragons Ravenloft, (their version of the Frankenstein monster) Adam is classified as a flesh golem with a soul, which seems to fit what Mary

Shelley's Frankenstein is.

8. Another frustrating argument is "But the scholars all say..." Yeah, really? You mean Google search results and everyone just repeating what they've been told.

Dr. Robert Curran's book "Man-made Monsters" describes The Creature as gaining a "rudimentary form of language" in the novel. The Creature, in the novel, was very articulate once he learned how to talk. Victor even warns Captain Walton "He'll speak to you will eloquence but hear not his deception." The creature even had an old fashioned way of talking because of his obsession with John Milton's Paradise Lost. "Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay, to mould me man? Did I solicit thee from darkness to promote me?" Does that seem like "rudimentary" language to you?

And Doctor Robert Curran is a well-respected scholar. Scholars sometimes bluff because things seem to be "common knowledge" and taken for granted as fact that aren't.

Dacre Stoker's official Dracula sequel has Dracula burn in sunlight even though that's a movie invention. The first time that happened was with Count Orlock in the German expressionist film, Nosferatu in 1922. And that was meant to be metaphor. Universal studios didn't even have it as a weakness until the sequels. The first Dracula movie from them (The 1931 film with Bela Lugosi) never said that sunlight would burn him. He was just nocturnal.

Dracula never burned in the sun in the original novel and walks around by day many times. and yet Dacre Stoker, great nephew of Bram Stoker, and Dracula "Scholar" has him burn in the sun in the "official" sequel.

9. Another popular misconception is that the moral of Frankenstein is "I should never have played God."

Everyone remembers that Prometheus stole fire from Gods but everyone acts like he was a mortal who didn't know his place. Prometheus was not mortal. In fact he created humanity. He was trying to protect humanity from the cruelties of others. Fire was also the granting to them the ability to invent.

If we focus in the "I should not have played God" idea, this seems to overly exonerate those that wronged The Creature. And if merely bringing The Creature to life was Victor's sin, why did both Victor and The Creature tell the reader that The creature was good and benign until mistreated by humanity?

The main themes of the book are parental responsibility, the folly of judging by appearances, the futility of revenge, and the necessity to forgive. Mel Brooks was right when he saw the fatherhood and accountability metaphors and applied them to Young Frankenstein.

In the end, I acknowledge that there are themes in Frankenstein we now apply to many works of science fiction. I LOVE Frankenstein. I think of it as a Gothic classic. I just wish that the hints of arcane aspects to The Creature's conception were acknowledged.

And though I do feel a woman invented science fiction, I feel we are crediting the wrong one. I also feel that most people think of Frankenstein as scifi for the wrong reasons, reasons mostly derived from the movies.

[originalleftist]

There are a couple inaccuracies here, though the overall point is correct.

Amber Heard never wrote a book (more's the pity). She was sued for three lines in an OpEd in the Washington Post (one of which was a headline she never even wrote).

2. The UK trial had nothing to do with her WaPo OpEd, nor was it directly about anything Heard said. Depp sued because the Sun, a UK tabloid, referred to him as a "wife beater." Heard testified as a witness, but was neither a plaintiff nor a defendant in that case.

But yeah, Heard never accused Depp of anything in the OpEd he sued her for- the only time to my knowledge that she accused him, other than when he dragged her into court and forced her to testify, was during the divorce/while applying for a restraining order, back in 2016.

And yeah, Depp lost the UK case (lost the appeal too), and that verdict was DAMNING. The court found that it was proved to the civil standard that Depp had physically abused Heard on at least 12 occasions, including 1 of sexual abuse and 3 times she feared for her life. In a case HE initiated, under the UK legal system which puts the burden of proof on the defendant, not the plaintiff in defamation trials, and he still lost. Twice.

And yeah, the US verdict is also a lot more complicated and fucked up than most people realize. Most people just heard "Depp won"- but actually, the court found that they both defamed each other, her for implying that he abused her, and him because his lawyer/fixer Adam Waldman (previous employer the Kremlin) accused her of a hoax.

So yeah, the court effectively found that she didn't make it up, but she still wasn't allowed to talk about it- basically stripping her of her right to due process and her right to free speech under the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

Then they both appealed and it was settled out of court with neither party admitting wrongdoing, but nobody paid attention to that because by then the news cycle had moved on, leaving everyone with the impression that Depp straight-up won.

EXTREMELY rare w from the uk media

Their resources: JD legal team, Bianca Butti footage of the UK trial, close friends, fans, transcripts both UK and US trials, social media platforms etc (author's note). So, they mostly talked to Johnny Depp's team, friends and fans. AH team also took part in it but after they were told it will be a book, they dropped out.

Chapter 15.

The beginning of one of the worst smear campaigns: audio recordings leaks to the press.

Chapter 16.

Bianca Butti's recordings before, during the UK trial:

In one of Bianca’s recordings, Amber sat in front of the camera while Bianca interviewed her about the online harassment she was receiving, and how estranged she’d become from her friends and support network. Amber was convinced the negative attention online was being secretly coordinated by Johnny and his powerful political connections, aka Adam Waldman.

Amber spoke emphatically about her theory that Adam Waldman had hired bots to harass not just her, but also her friends and witnesses, as well as journalists covering her story. “I mean, the amount of witnesses I have lost along the way . . . As soon as I came forward in public and said something, all of them, one by one, disappeared. They told me they’re worried about their career, they’re worried about their livelihood, they can’t make it in this industry because of what they’re facing.”

“I just have seen the worst of how . . . readily accepting the public is and how easy it is for our society to absorb that information and process it in that way. And I am so, so conditioned to appreciate that because I have witnesses from the time I filed for a restraining order with a black eye, and people were already asking me what I wanted. And yet no one doubted his credibility or his stance when he said, ‘She wants something.’ No one said, Is that true? . . . It didn’t really stop him from getting booked on things.”

Chapter 17.

More of Bianca's footage:

“He cannot look at me . . . look at me look at me . . . you shoved a bottle in me while I cried. I’m right here,” Amber said one night after trial, her toes pedaling the hotel carpet. Whitney agreed, holding back tears. “. . . When anybody is speaking the truth, like, there is a conviction, you look that person in the eyes like, NO fucker, you know what you did is wrong, NO fucker. And there’s an understanding when you lock eyes . . . And I’ve had all those conversations with him when he was looping, fucking spiraling out, bending whatever, like, no, Johnny, look at me. Johnny, look at me. And he knew, he knows that that’s a moment, right, as any human does, like when you actually have a conversation with somebody, and you’re looking at them, you’re seeing them.

“Not one person, not one headline points out—not one today—seems to highlight what I think is super fucking important in this #MeToo/Post–#MeToo world we live in, which is that Johnny Depp tried to get me fired from my franchise movies for no reason other than having dumped him,” Amber said as the camera rolled.

Chapter 18.

Bianca Butti talking about how Amber dissociated during the trial and showed sign of being a victim of abuse during their relationship:

“She had nowhere to put everything,” Bianca said. “She didn’t know how to cry. She didn’t know how to freak out. She didn’t know how to break down. She just knew how to keep going. She was completely detached . . . She was shut down.”

Amber, her friends and team talk about the UK win.

“We won,” he said through a muffled connection. Amber and Whitney were stunned. “We won? . . . WE WON!!” Screaming erupted, followed by sobs. “I never thought I’d see him be held accountable,” Amber said through tears.

Chapter 19.

The US trial. Just here to remind again that it was JD idea to televise the trial. Amber tried to dismiss and settle three times but JD was against it. Even the judge said: “You will lose this case, you should settle it,” the judge said, looking Johnny squarely in the face.

A lot of AH evidence wasn't submitted because of the hearsay objections.

Chapter 20.

JD testimony. You all can read it in my pinned masterpost.

Chapter 21.

This one is about JD fans and supporters.

Chapter 22.

AH testimony.

Bianca Butti, who was no longer dating Amber but still a close friend, was by Amber’s side for the entire ordeal. She watched Amber testify and could tell that she was in a total PTSD disconnect. “It almost sounded like someone else was talking,” she said. Amber had reviewed her case over and over again, told her story to lawyers multiple times, made timelines and witness statements, and had already testified in another trial. “By the time you tell it a million times you remove yourself from emotional content . . . I believe all of it,” Bianca said. “Especially as someone who was her intimate partner. If I made a sudden move during an argument, she would recoil. It was clear to me that she was in a very violent relationship.”

Chapter 23.

The US trial verdict.

One of the jurors talked to the writers:

Tom said when it came to deliberating the verdict, the jurors were all pretty much on the same page. They didn’t believe Amber. They also couldn’t rely on her photos of the abuse, which they said varied drastically depending on the lighting and angle of the photo. Also, they liked watching Johnny testify. “For me, I enjoyed his testimony,” Tom said. “He was pretty entertaining going back and forth with Heard’s lawyers. We were sitting there for eight hours a day, and having him on the stand was a breath of fresh air.”

Amber’s account of the sexual-assault allegations from Australia were difficult for Tom and the other jurors to listen to. “But at the end of the day we looked at it like this: if you are beaten that badly, why didn’t you go to the emergency room? If you were cut up, you’re barefoot, walking on glass, bleeding all over the place. You didn’t go to the doctor, you actually got on the plane the next day to go home?”

He hung on Amber’s own words that she wanted the allegations to stay private to protect Johnny, whom she loved, and that she wasn’t in it for any financial gain. “Then why all the circus?” The courthouse appearance seemed like a “setup” to make Johnny seem like the monster in the divorce. “This was what put the proverbial nail in the coffin,” Tom stated. (MY NOTE: the jurors are so dumb! It was really hard to read this part. Did they forget that JD was the one sued AH...).

Chapter 24. (the last one, at last)

JD life after the the US verdict (couldn't care less tbh).

I actually hoped that there will be a bibliography of everything they used: interviews etc but there isn't one. Hence, it shows how stupid and useless this book is. The only things I believed are: chapters about Bianca's footage, trial testimonies from both UK and US trials, the jurors thoughts on why they believed JD because no one in their mind would share those stupid reasonings with someone. All in all, do not waste your time or money on this book.
