I agree 100%. In Depp’s eyes and it’s an opinion that is shared by millions… there’s nothing more emotionally damaging than to be slandered and ridiculed by false accusations from someone who is motivated by nothing more than pure spite and vindictiveness. Depp is having his moment to show the world who jumped to their own conclusions when Turd first attempted to depict herself as a victim, that she in fact is the guilty one. And the cost to Depp is reveal the most intimate private details of his life. Something that most “celebrities” are loath to do.

Well they realize who bought them their entire lifestyle. so they’re like the only ones humble enough aside from Michael Jackson and Keanu to show appreciation. Not very many celebrity try to appease their fans in public than those few it seems. You go up to a celeb you’re libel to get told “no not now, no I’m not signing anything” yet Johnny, Keanu and Ricky would probably be the type to be more than happy to have a conversation if there’s not a big crowd of ppl surrounding them asking for autographs and if tha does happen they’d probably try to sign as many as possible. These 3 celebs have absolute class when it comes to appreciation. I freakin love them. I think gina Carano is probably the same way too. Seems like she’s all smiles.

coming from a British perspective, we don't have televised courts, so our exposure to court room drama is thing like OJ and Judge Judy, it's a cultural thing.
