I've followed allot of JD's lawsuits and read documents. The only time I've seen a deposition uploaded to the website is if it is being referred to in a motion and then attached or parts of it attached as an Exhibit. I don't expect to see just depositions uploaded on their own. But I was surprised to see Ellen Barkin's Subpoena uploaded since there are no documents required. This could be an NYC rquirement?

Ah, so we'll just be kept in suspense about what Josh Drew is gonna say, basically until he's a witness on the stand

Waldman has no made any statements about it to The Blast or any other tabloid site. If he did, it would be all over the place.
It is curious as to why Adam Waldman didn't make a statement about the denial to the IME request from Heard.
It seems like this win in Johnny's favor would merit some kind of announcement regardless of any documents she was granted, like his medical records. I do remember that when the judge granted Heard to see his medical records, he added that the records may not make it to trial, or some words to that affect. So, if I understand it correctly, in other words, the records would basically have no bearing at trial.
I agree that the mainstream media needs to report positive news about Johnny. My guess is that the old idea of sensationalism still sells far more than any good news.
I have developed a theory lately about why the mainstream media keep sticking to the story of Johnny being the abuser instead of the other way around. As I say; it's only a theory. And it is only part of the explanation, I am sure. But could it be, that the journalists and editors do not like the idea, that the woman can be the emotionally stronger part in a relationship?
Not smarter or sweeter in this case, but somebody who never second guess herself, and is quite sure, she's always right even when she isn't.
They might even think, that they are sort of doing Johnny a favour by not spreading the news, that a 'girl beat him' ...
Or is that too far fetched?

It's certainly possible that some journalists slant their stories in a warped, twisted way but only if it will provoke interest and click bait toward their website. It's been my observation that if one of the mainstream media outlets prints their hot story, others will follow suit in the same manner because they monitor views and that equals $$ for their site. The publication fails if a headline doesn't have impact in order to draw in readers. Johnny and Amber are a hot topic of sorts....but not as much as The Kardashians or the rapper of the month. Years ago, when Johnny was labeled the Bad Boy of Hollywood, he got a lot of press coverage. Then he settled down with Vanessa, had their children and all sensationalism about him mellowed out. Today with all the chaos surrounding him with his crazy ex, the media has brought him back to being the Bad Boy once again. That is how they want to sell their stories. Really.....no one cares about Amber Heard unless she has her top off. And in due time, that too, will fade away.

Through the years, for the many xoxo's, giggles & kindness...
thank you & love you Johnny.

Is this in regard to TMG’s allegation in their rebuttal to JD’s lawsuit vs them that they’d “heard” or “were told” something about Johnny being abusive to AH? The same thieves that were being sued by JD for millions of dollars AND WERE FOUND GUILTY? The same group that includes Joel Mandel, one of the guilty party who is said to have promised he “would destroy Johnny Depp”?

Seems to me, before anything this pack of scumbags has to say is treated as “credible” in any legal proceeding much less in one against someone they’ve just lost millions of dollars to, AH better be forced to produce evidence of that credibility or be flat out denied.

In fact, if AH is so eager to go back a few years in her desperation for evidence to validate her claims of DV and thereby undermine the defamation lawsuit, why not try cleaning up her own act a bit. Go to the heart of the matter, and once and for all produce an Official Police Report that reiterates the events of May 21st, 2016, as she claimed in her TRO request statement. She has NEVER filed that Report and there’s only one reason - if she did, it would be a lie, and filing a false Official Police Report is a felony, i.e. a crime.

That’s my post BTW IFOD is quoting

I mentioned she was suing TMG dats ago and linked The Blast article that mentioned it. I since found another more in-depth article but not available outside the USA. Here are the links.

TMG inadvertently made themselves a target for Amber because of the claims they made in their filings re knowledge of “abuse”, Johnny lies to authorities and hush money they supposedly paid. They refused to comply with her subpoena claiming a protective order from the settlement. Also, if they are truly being investigated by any Federal agencies this wouldn’t be helpful.

I find it interesting no one reported on this. Her stans will probably send it to Daily Mail. They seem to have a direct pipeline. The lawsuit was filed Oct 29

LA Court website being a bit glitchy, but I thing Buckley (lawyers) vs Johnny settled

“01/15/2020 at 08:30 AM in Department 17 at 111 North Hill Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012. Order to Show Cause Re: Dismissal”

The Bloom case has the same notation after they announced a settlement. Docs not uploaded yet

I’ll be glad to know this one is over. Johnny stood his ground for quite some time against this powerhouse legal firm despite Buckley pushing the optics to an ugly corner with their recent lien threats. Hope he walks away with a fair settlement and it’s reported as such. Guess that’s asking a lot.

Interesting side note: Tina Tchen, new President and CEO of Times Up (Kaplan’s baby) as of October, 2019, left her position as partner at Buckley LLP to take over her new post.

Adam claimed they over charged. Ed White with Power of Attorney claimed JD would pay when able. I don’t think the right hand was talking to the left hand. I believe Buckley was paid reasonable fees as they should have been. Maybe there was cross coverage with so many attorneys involved. We will see or not

It's quite possible they did overcharge but they are still entitled to a reasonable fee within the retainer agreement for their services. They probably settled somewhere in between.

I’ve been attempting to find out a bit more about the newest addition to AH’s team, Davida Brook. Seems Brook and Kaplan have worked together before this case honing their “skills” in trial by media, silencing victims, and twisting the outcome with choice omissions and very craftily selected verbiage.

I came across this very well written and equally disturbing thread. Gave me goosebumps, especially the potential longevity of the accusations after all is said and done. I am more convinced than ever that Johnny MUST see this through to trial. Please read in entirety.



Many thanks to FemCondition for her carefully constructed thread of which the above is just a fragment.

It is an excellent thread and scared me. Their amassing allot of experience to get this "Opinion" piece dismissed as free speach. That new lawyer is representing AH in her lawsuit against TMG to get them to comply with their motion for business records, etc.
