Forgive me, I’ve never done something like this before, but I had to get my thoughts out there. I just finished watching the docuseries on Netflix “Depp V Heard”
Now when the trial itself was going on, I wanted to side with Johnny Depp. My friends and fiancé were up in arms about it. They supported him to an astounding degree and I followed along and agreed with them.
That being said, during this time there was a day where I had visited my parents. I remember this vividly, because of the absolute shame and embarrassment I felt. I had asked my father what his opinions on the trial were. My father is a fair and level headed man. He has a way of looking at the world and passing judgement in a way that makes you instantly want to agree with him and have a fair debate. I hold his opinion in high esteem. This is what he said, “I think they’re both high, drunk liars. Everyone is going on about this stupid trial and no one is talking about the elementary school that was just shot up”
Again, I was instantly ashamed of myself, because I had let myself be swept up by it all too. Watching this docuseries only verified my agreement with my father. Even now, I can’t recall the name of the school. Or how many victims there were. And shame on me for it! How could we believe either of them? Amber ran everyone in circles with her lies and Johnny admitted to having addiction issues. Who could’ve lied for them in that trial? Who was paid off? And most importantly why do so many people, like myself, care SO much about these lying celebrities while there are children being killed? There were people practically holding their breath to hear the verdict of that trial.
I understand that there can be other factors that play a role. Like personal experience or perceptions, but even still.
I genuinely can’t understand or wrap my head around it all. What’s your opinion? Depp? Heard? Neutral?
