Even bigger, her resentment that she actually HAS to make the promised DONATION. In other words, she wanted the halo effect, without giving up her money. She never HAD true donor intent.
True, and as it was written into the divorce agreement she is resentful as she is making out that she was forced to make the donation. It had obviously come up in the divorce proceedings that JD felt he had been set up and she married him for his money and this was here blase way of proving that she did not, so the agreement was made to give the divorce settlement to charity and clear her debts.
Virtue signalling, that's all she wanted to do. Wow, I'm very happy she did this interview. She's confirmed how terrible of a human being she is and how manipulative she is. She's done in Hollywood. This is how the world will always remember her, and the best part is Johnny didn't have to do anything to show us who she really is. She killed her own global brand by herself. Unbelievable how she thought this interview would clean her up. #JusticeGotServedForJohnnyDepp
She definitely knows the difference between pledge and donate: - she never said "pledge" in any public statement, it was always "donated" in the past tense - she never said "donated" under oath, it was always "pledged" under penalty of perjury
I think you have the key to this issue: the different tenses. Donated is past tense Pledged is a promise to do something in the future This should have been put to her in the witness box. Make her acknowledge the difference. Ask her to produce the recipe she has for the donations she has made in the past.
@@Songbirdstress Because his ruling in favor of The Sun (the case was not against AH) had nothing to do with his friendship with the owner of The Sun, his son's employment by a sister company, or his son's friendship/partnership with the writer of the piece./sarc.
For me, her statement “I shouldn’t have had to donate to money to be believed” means it was purposeful, she pledged it as a part of her show, went and got some press stating unequivocally that she donated it but she actually never had any intention of donating that money. She felt entitled to it. Her meal ticket was gone and she intended to keep every dollar. Her actions shows that. She had 13 months to donate the money before Johnny filed suit, she was never going to donate it and she never will.
No she won't pay it...she's looking for a 'man/woman' to come to her rescue and pay it off for her. She is a social climbing gold-digger! However she has been exposed and I doubt anyone will unless that person is very stupid or has more money than he/she know what to do with. Sad she can't get over herself and think of other humans or at least something to help humanity, not like the disaster she caused for DV victims.
The 13 months is just counting the time since she received the full sum too. The first payment she received was like 6ish years ago and got paid out over time so really she had 6+ years already. She tried saying she stopped JD from donating it directly because "I don't want him to use it as a tax break and if he does donate he has to do it all at once", then later on when called out on why she hasn't donated it in over a year her excuse was exactly that, "It doesn't have a deadline and I still intend to honor it but I was told to pay it over time as one does so I can get tax breaks" Pretty sure she even used the excuse "I haven't donated it yet because I was waiting to receive it all so I can donate it all at once" before and don't forget the "I can't donate it because he sued me and I spent it all on legal fees" We all make excuses and sometimes they're valid but if they were actually valid excuses you wouldn't be trying to come up with 10 other ones, rather stick to the one that works... Not only that but her legal fees were paid for by her homeowners insurance so that's another load of bs and "my legal fees were $6 mil" is another flat out lie.
Nobody asked her to donate or say she was going to. She got on her soap box and claimed she donated it because she didn't want people saying she was a gold digger. Now she doesn't like people calling her a liar so she will never shut her mouth about these doggone lies she has said about JD either.
100% she was deceptive this was crystal clear throughout the case. She doesnt like being challenged about all her lies because this shows how extremely calculating she can be, even if she wasn't being challenged you can still see its all lies.
The exaggerated accounts of violence were her undoing. Had she really experienced that much violence she would have been taken to an emergency room for treatment and in my mind that lost the case for her. Even if Johnny had assaulted her and she blew it out of proportion she would be disbelieved at least in my book.
@@normansmith9110 Right! Can one even imagine a vain, actress who is conceited and physically beautiful NOT rushing to the Emergency room with an aledged 'broken nose'?
She's doing the same thing in the interviews as she did on the stand at the trial: she has a convinient explanation for literally everything. Nothing is ever her fault. Even her "we had a horrible marriage" bit was on a general level and diluted her role.
@@normansmith9110 but you also have to wonder, what type of person makes up something like the Australia incident, the trailer park cavity search, being moved by the pelvic bone etc her overacting saved him, regardless whether people believed he was innocent, it's extremely lucky the jury didn't believe her because he would have that hanging over him for life. As it is he won but the MSM is still vilifying him which I don't understand.
This is such a ground-breaking case on so many levels. It's broader than two sparring celebrities. Keep up your broadcasts highlighting the severity of these important issues.
Sorry, for those who have lived it, nothing ground breaking about it. These cases usually have a child involved, a child who witnessed the violence and then later the lying.
@@dcraig7712 the amber heard case is at once the subtle exposure and the brutal takedown of white (female) privilege. a brilliant woman of color fearlessly and uncompromisingly demolished a living icon of the most privileged, pampered and protected demographic in western society in front of the entire world. prior to this trial, something like that was essentially unheard of. it's a very public breach of a social hierarchy that has defined western culture for decades, if not centuries.
@Reva Barendse A great comment. It includes the role of Social Media, the failures of MSM and sheds light on the issue of men as victims of DV. I wonder if it will be studied in Law Schools in the future?
@@phillipaclemons7261 I sincerely hope that law schools, medical schools, social workers and the like do study all types of violence in future so that it’s not stereotyped. Social media must also become more responsible.
AH was a C Grade actress before she got her claws into JD. She used her malevolent charm to con him. Her career was never going to be A List. Latching onto JD’s fame, fortune and star power is what she used to catapult her status. Lying and defaming him now is all she has left to stay relevant. She needs to be ordered to stop talking about him completely.
I thought it was implied in the guilty verdict and the fact she defamed him, that she wouldn't be allowed to talk about him like this anymore. But here we are , 2wks later and she is STILL claiming victim & the op Ed wasn't about him even though she admitted it, she said in recording "I only did this because myself & my friends were being evicted" why that wasn't played in court is beyond me. But ya, she is an ass, she's a "victim" of being a psychopath, that's it.
she had the money her aqua man role and could’ve probably gotten away without donating the money if she had just left him alone, but she just can’t help herself!
I think she's trying to say that being believed should not be dependent on paying a donation, which would be fair comment IF she hadn't lied on oath about making a donation to reinforce her case against Depp. It's deflection, obfuscation...call it what you will, but its designed to cover up the lies told in court.
No one made her make the pledge in the first place. It was her idea, arrest PR move. If you make a pledge and have an once of integrity you'll actually donate the money.
@@katiehettinger7857 if I recall, it was also why she got such a high divorce settlement. Runkle suggests that they ascertain her financial situation. She's not behaving like someone who's poor.
If she hadn't boasted on TV years ago that she HAD donated it, it wouldn't even matter at all. But it puts a dampener on her credibility when she lies to big up herself, like all Clout Goblins do.
Calling the police was to be a threat to JD. AH (something like): Give me the money or else. I've called the police. Not kidding. I didn't make a report. But if you don't give me the money, I'll take it all the way.
"I shouldn't have had to donate it to be believed." Can also be interpreted in another couple of ways. If you're saying "I HAVE DONATED all of it to charity" and someone alleges you haven't done that, then the phrase "I shouldn't have had to donate it to be believed" is totally untrue. Infact, quite the opposite. Secondly, if we take it in the context of the abuse allegations. Donating the money had nothing to do with the abuse allegations. It wasn't a a case of donating the money meant we could believe your story. The fact you haven't donated it, when you also claimed you had ties to the credibility of your claims. You lied about donating money, why wouldn't you lie about these allegations. She is clearly only interested in one thing: Image. She knows she didn't have to be in the court personally, to file the TRO. But she HAD to be there, so the IMAGE of abuse could be mainstreamed. She had seen in the context of the #metoo movement all these claims had come to light, many without evidence and only story, but she wanted an IMAGE to be a part of her story.
I think her claim to donating the money is attached to the abuse allegations in that it made it seem she had no motive to the abuse claims. Once it was found as a false claim, it then added a motive to said claims.
She thought the virtue signalling would suffice and no one would follow up with her about the donations again. She miscalculated it completely. She's the one that started this lie. She and her attorneys fought hard to keep out the fact that she hardly donated at all. Of course, that was suspicious enough. After all, one of the main reasons The Sun won that case was because the judge believed her when she said she donated that settlement which showed she wasn't lying about Johnny abusing her. Otherwise, she would have kept the money if she was lying. 6 years later, she still hasn't done it. What now is going to happen with regards to reopening the UK case? As it's clear she committed perjury.
Yes, in the US trial it wasn't so much about whether she donated the money or not, it was about whether she lied about donating the money. But it is more than that, she lied UNDER OATH at the UK trial about donating the money. That means there is no reason to believe anything she says under oath in another trial.
And that specific courthouse has 2 discreet entrances options available to people seeking privacy. Also TMZ doesn't go to the courthouse UNLESS they have a credible, verified source as Morgan Tremaine testified.
popcorn planet had a hollywood atty as a regular guest. he explained that the la courthouse where amber filed had an underground entrance that is off limits to the media. this entrance is regularly offered to celebrities. there are also multiple exits where media will have a hard time taking pictures. the fact that amber chose the main entrance/exit where media has the easiest access shows us that she wanted to be seen during this tro filing
As a trained and experienced legal eagle, you, more than anyone, will know how difficult it is for pathological liars to keep track of all the different lies they spin to try to be believed. It is a simple and effective move to present them with two of their conflicting lies and watch them prepare a convoluted word salad in an attempt to conflate the lies into an explanation that can appear to make it work. All they then do is paint themselves into a smaller corner and any viewer (or juror) can see this.
Must admit I did start to feel sorry for Heard. I did think that social media had overdone it, and it was nice to hear whispers of JD being gracious enough to not go after payment of the judgement. I've done a 180 after these interviews hers and her lawyers. The lies just continue, no expression of regret, no empathy for JD, just selfish attempts at justification which just expose her lies even more. I really hope she has to pay all the money and if criminal charges are appropriate, bring it on!
What about all the backlash JD got on social media when this "exploded" 6 years ago. What about how JD was dropped like a hot potato even before the UK matter went through the courts. I think AH is getting the backlash she deserves, not she doesn't like people knowing what really went on.
I understand JD's reasoning to not take the money but I don't like it.. Get the money and donate it to charity, Heard deserves punishment for what she's done. It's not fair that only the guy ever gets punishsd
💯 Everyone has their limits and at some point we have all gone “hang on a minute”…. okie dokie now, enough is enough! AH has serious & severe mental health disorders & it’s clear that no one in her life has had or most likely ever will have, any positive influence or effect over her apparent path of self destruction. Having lived through a similar relationship with a narcissist and experiencing DV in my childhood, I absolutely relate to JD’s journey with this woman. As with him, in the end, despite exhausting & almost losing yourself by loving them, you finally face the hard truths, open all wounds up for scrutiny & choose to fight and reclaim your life back. JD is a survivor and AH is an abuser. The trial, evidence, testimonies & jury, not social media or MSM or any of our collective opinions will change that truth, ever. There ain’t nothing’ Ms Heard can do now, that will ever change this “self writer” narrative she has created….sad & pathetic. Thank fuck JD chose to save himself 🙏 and by doing so, he has done more for humanity, at this time in the world, than he could ever imagine ❤️
I don’t understand how people can feel bad for someone being held accountable through social media. Social media is an online reflection of the general populations opinions. The vast majority of people don’t like liars, and voiced their speech freely. If you don’t want to be decimated on social media as a public figure, don’t blatantly lie, especially about being horrifically sexually assaulted. It’s a real kick in the face to actual SA & DA survivors. Lying so badly is also an insult to most peoples basic intelligence.
This woman is impervious to the worldwide reaction to the court case. Quite surreal actually. She is just maintaining the lie that she was abused and is totally justified in her actions going forward. Can she not be gagged for goodness sake! It’s embarrassing. I’m guessing that she is being granted interviews because this coverage gains money. Hectic!
We would have moved on, if Amber would accept she lost. It would be wise for her disappear for a while, but no, she insists on trying to rerun the trial in the press. 😒
Somehow she is thinking she can win and get some money ...because she prob will not work for quite a while. Thru it all she thinks she can outsmart the system, the lawyers the judges and any jury
The idea that she doesn't know the difference between pledge and donation is insane! I can't believe she was so arrogant to believe she could say that and people would believe her! But I guess that was the only way she could explain this with out admiting she had lied! LOL Rather act dumb than be seen as a liar!
She said she was going to "donate" the money on her own for social credit. She definitely knew the difference between pledge and donate. She never signed pledge agreement with the ACLU which is a legally binding contract
She has inadvertently admitted she has lied. Look at this short transcript of part of the interview. ….’when you’re in an abusive dynamic psychologically, emotionally and physically, you don’t have the resources that say, you or I do’ (YOU DON’T HAVE THE RESOURCES LIKE YOU OR I DO. Meaning, if you’ve been abused, your way of thinking is not like someone who hasn’t been abused like you or me) …’with the luxury of saying this is black or white and it’s (she stumbles a bit realising she’s just parroted information she’s picked up about abuse victims but not included herself as one here) anything but when you’re living in it. ‘(Then she tries to fix her admission that she’s not an abuse victim after the stumble by saying..when you’re living in it) Snap! She’s just admitted she’s not an abuse victim, realised the slip, stumbled then corrected it.
As Camille point out in her cross examination of Amber "You are onto your 7th edition of your story now..." It was a small point but it had major implications.
@@Libelllule She did not see herself as abused during the relationship. She chased JD to argue with him. People who are abused do not do that. Do not try to go and trigger a response in their abuser. So if she actually saw herself as a victim (which I doubt-look at the body language in the UK case), she is even crazier than we think.
Even as a non-native English speaking person- I know there's a distinct difference between "pledge" and "donate" and those words are not even CLOSE to be synonyms.
She didn't want to donate the money from the get go. It was written into the divorce agreement as she kept saying she did not want money from the divorce. JD was going to pay the money direct to the two charities, but AH wanted the tax write off from the donations (allegedly). That is why JD was involved with these "donations" from the divorce settlement and knew the money had not been paid to the charities.
It's like this you get the money you donate it to charity. You don't pay taxes on it and you can use it to write off from taxes she owes. OR you say you are donating it to charity (to get the divorce settlement tax free) but don't donate it.You stash it somewhere & pretend you donated it. As a divorce settlement it isn't tax free.
I'm not even sure she was right about that. Surely if Johnny had donated the money in her name, she would get the tax breaks? That was just a pointless excuse to get the money for herself, I think.
The reason Depp found out she hadn’t paid was because they called him looking for another payment, since they hadn’t gotten any money since his initial payment (directly to the charity). By that time, she had already been paid in full, but the charity was under the assumption the money was coming from Johnny.
In divorce proceedings, she told Johnny that she didnt want any money from him, but that the lawyers said she HAD to put a number on it. They agreed a donation to two charities of $7m and Johnny tried to pay this direct - his team sent the first $100k. Her team then went mad because Johnny would then get the tax breaks and they insisted on this basis that the money be paid to them, so that they could make the donations (this way Amber would get the tax breaks). If we give Amber the benefit of the doubt, she may at that time have intended to make the donations but found that because she didnt earn $7m per year, she couldnt maximise the tax breaks if she paid all the money in a single year, so she chose to pay it over several years to offset her earnings in those years. This would explain why she made the first payment of $350k. But then at some point, it appears that she changed her mind and decided that she didnt actually need to make the other payments and nobody would ever know. ACLU testified that she would not reply whenever they chased her to agree a payment plan or make the next payment, so the plan was never actually signed - so she didnt even 'pledge' the full payment to the ACLU on paper anywhere. Then she made claims to everyone that she had made the donations and when Johnny's team in trial motions asked for proof of the payments, she refused to supply any evidence of them and resisted any requests for anything along those lines, so Johnny's team asked to subpoena the charities to ask them for their records, Amber tried to block this request, saying that 'there are less intrusive ways of obtaining the information', but the judge lost patience with them because they were the ones preventing those less intrusive ways by not providing their proof of transactions. So it was only when the charities were asked by the courts to provide the information that they said "she hasnt paid..." and the lie was broken! She did everything to stop anyone from ever finding out, then concocted this lie about pledges or about not being able to pay because Johnny sued her (13 months AFTER the final divorce payment went to her).
The more she talks, the deeper she digs the hole she is already in. She is also making it increasingly harder for the JD team to give her an escape on the verdict and settle on no pay of the compensation in exchange for letting this rest. AH does not want to let it rest because she is now at the point where her only relevenace is keeping this going, she has nothing else left.
Exactly...the reasoning AH used in the trial 'when buying a house you pay it off' .....yes you pay the bank back because THEY pay the seller Immediately
so she goes on TV and states she donated all the money because "she wanted NOTHING", but she thinks she shouldn't need to donate that money in order to be believed. o-kay.
When she's talking in a roundabout way without really answering questions, she's doing what's commonly known as gaslighting. What she's really saying here is this: She shouldn't have to tell the truth in order to be believed. She deserves be believed regardless, as long as she's sticking to whatever HER ever-changing truth is at any given moment. To a narcissist, that's a completely rational interpretation of what "truth" really means. People who disagree with that must simply be less intelligent than they are. (Sigh!)
So true. Another hallmark of a narcissist is the so-called "word salad", which is also in full display here. AH seems to be using all the relevant words and expressions pertaining to the situation, but, taken as a whole, her statements are meaningless and evasive at best. That's what narcissists habitually do when they are called out on their lies.
@@MindiB Several, actually. At one point, I had to deal with a narcissistic boss at work and another one at home. I was young and had no experience with that kind of people. Later in life I took a minor in psychology, so I have a basic understanding of it in that way, too. Exhausting people!
BBB, I was watching Emily D Baker’s live stream yesterday and she was saying that maybe she needs to a deep dive into the UK case, if they keep trying to compare them, a number of her subscribers suggested she linked up with yourself as your knowledge of the UK case is second to none. Emily did say that would be a good idea and I think the 2 of you would be able to debunk a lot of myth’s around both cases and bring some closure to this whole comparison element
"I shouldn't have had to donated the money to be believed" She's trying to make it sound like we didn't believe her _just because_ she didn't donate to charity - when the point was that she said she did, but did not, which showed she was dishonest.
She did not have to donate the money because Depp was going to do so. There is a childrens hospital who with $3m could have done a lot of good for sick children. Amber is not just a liar but a poor excuse for a human being
Amber bragged and lied about "donating all the settlement money to charity" to get free publicity from the media and to promote her false story "that this was never about the money". So it was only right that her false edifice be pulled down and exposed: she also omitted to tell people that in addition to giving her $7m, Johnny also paid another $7m in joint expenses that SHE was equally liable for. Then we have a video of her & her sister 'celebrating & partying' in the car that Johnny gave them on the day she got the settlement looking as if they had just won the lottery. Strange behaviour from someone who still claims that they are in love Johnny yet also to this day suffer PTSD? Waldman was right everything that comes out of Amber's mouth is false and a hoax. She is a violent angry and abusive woman who lies about being a victim when she is the abuser. What is equally worrying is why are the media still fawning over her when she has been caught lying under oath? What sort of message are the media trying to send & promote by continuing to give her free publicity?
When someone lies about one thing like donating money promised to charity the average person would look at everything that person says and does with more skepticism. Then she doubles down and things change in her story. She admits that she wasn't an abuse victim in the interview if people follow the context of what she says. I hope the interviewer caught that. She may have but decided not to press her on it.
Excellent points! You found the logical fallacies in her gaslighting. Also didn’t she herself volunteer to give away the money as a means of proving she wasn’t after the money? When her behavior proved she was after it. Text book narcissist with no clue that many of us can’t bear to watch her because it’s so obvious she’s not telling the truth. Her & lawyer Elaine continuing to talk & emote like this just makes the gaslighting more obvious
Another thought....... Asked: Did they just have better lawyers? She answered "Better job of distracting the jury from the real issues" Was that her lawyers intent; to distract the jury from the real issues?
Yes, of course. And she slipped up saying that, didn't she?!! 🤣 I noticed it during the entire hearing. All AH's attorneys talked about was how Johnny Depp drank and did this drug or that drug. Then accused all of JD's witnesses of wanting to "curry favor" or be Super Fans or want 15 minutes of fame. Truly odious and stupid attorneys, hers.
And she claims she never wanted this to happen - yeah right. This is exactly what she wanted. She wanted to destroy him. Which I think was the plan all along.
I can tell you if the police had seen substantial injury the police would have arrested him with or without her pressing charges. It is done in many US municipalities. She had nothing for a week applied her Bruise Kit and went to court. I have seen several tutorial videos covering up injuries with make-up. Almost all end up using so much make-up it looks artificial. Oh and ScAmber I found out you can't put the disguised cover up with foundation as your base. Only a HORRORWOOD make-up technician would know that though.
I AGREE, I covered mine with so much make-up it looked like spac filler and felt heavy and uncomfortable, so tried to stay home until it healed better so less make-up usage to cover. AH is not onlyba Turd she's full of 💩💯🤢🤮🦘🐨🦘
@@jayneofspain3322 Even a freshly popped up pimple can have some redness around it. Celebrities are not robots, they get those too, they just get treated right away. So... just by not treating the pimple, and there you have it.
She didn't HAVE to donate/pledge the money full stop. She did not have to ever say what she was going to do with the money. Becides which, there were contradictions in her own testimony. I really do think your videos are extremely insightful, educational and understandable by the general public. Thank you.
She did have to say she donated it though, it was part of the settlement deal. She was only allowed to have the extra 7mill from Johnny if she donated it. Johnny even began donating the money under her name, but she flipped out when she found out and said she wanted to donate it herself. So she had to lie and say she was donating it. It was the only way she could keep the 7mill. She wasn’t ever personally entitled to it
She did not even have to promise to pay the money. No one was forcing her. Depp did not care what she did with it after he gave it to her. It is not like there was a clause in the divorce settlement that required her to repay the $7milli I n if she did not donate it within twelve months and provide Depp with proof of the amount donated.
@@BreakofDawn Thank you for that information. I did not know about that stipulation. But I also meant, that in the settlement, she could have not even asked for the money for charity full stop. If she had been fairer and less greedy, (like wanting to have the penthouse, cars etc), she wouldn't have had to try and make a "kind gesture", by saying she wanted that money, from HIM, to give away AT ALL, if that makes sense. I am not an American or a lawyer but I do have to say, I got so frustrated when they kept mentioning the UK trial because, libel/defamation cases are stricter here, but he lost that case because there was no jury, and he was suing a publication tabloid newspaper belonging to the Rupert Murdoch group, whereas in this trial the rules were entirely different, but "conveniently," AH'S TEAM would "forget", to mention that the Uk trial was not against AH, but a newspaper. Ironic perhaps because this trial was different as he was directly suing HER, for writing an article in a newspaper, wheras the Uk trial was about suing the newspaper, based on accusations of violence she made, but she was their as a witness to give testimony, like, her sister, or Dr Hughes etc were doing for her in this case. There is a channel called black belt barrister, who is reacting to her interviews this week, and he does explain and breakdown how the two countries have different procedures and why etc, because of this confusion.
She also has said ‘she did not want to be seen as a ‘gold digger’! The UK Judge seems to have been swayed by her donating the entire divorce settlement, she “wanted nothing”! I, myself, found that to be pretty powerful; but, finding out (by watching the entire trial) that she did not actually give the charities the money was eye opening! The public would have never known the truth, without the trial. When you talk the talk, you have to walk the walk; Amber should be doing the walk of shame-owning her lies-and then slithering under a rock, for stealing from sick children, paying to be a spokesperson, and trying to defame Johnny Depp, and now the jury, and the Judge! Myself, I not drinking the KoolAid; she needs to be held accountable, financially and criminally, and seek help for her mental health issues, if not for herself, for her daughter!
As I recall in Josh Drew's deposition, he said ( and I believe with images as well in so called property damage) he said he walked the police through one of the penthouses to show them the damage. Of course the police bodycam footage showed this to be false. Therefore, I don't understand the jury awarding her compensation re Mr Waldman. So yes what you have analysed is true also when mixed with Drew's testimony. It was a hoax.
The bodycam footage was taken by the second set of police called in by Rocky. The artfully arranged artwork or photographs on the he floor and bed in still photos were hers.
For sure. The police body cam proved it to be a hoax, but the award I think was a way to get someone over the line. JD knew he smashed up nothing, so knew it was a hoax, but until the police body cam came out it was he said (with his two security) and she said (with all her freeloading hangers on who thought she was going to get the 3 penthouses)
Johnny's lawyer made up a the story about they conspiracy, stayed it as fact rather than as personal belief. He had no way of knowing what people did or didn't do after Johnny left the apartment. The jury seemed focused on the idea it's bad to make up things and pass them off as truth. If you have a theory say it's your theory.
Clearly the key point here is that she felt that she "had to" go that extra step and "pledge" the money because she sensed or knew that noone believed her and in order to win the trial, she "had to" pledge the money, even though she never had any intention of actually donating/paying the money. This point is further proven, because she never donated anything, conning her boyfriend Elon into making a donation in her name because the money she got from Johnny was "hers" and she was spending it on her lavish lifestyle. She had no rent, because in the settlement, she could live for free in the penthous. She had no transportation expenses, because Johnny was paying for the armoured chauffeured vehical driving her around town, and she had her earnings from Aquaman.
The donation itself wasn't the issue though, her claiming it was is typical gaslighting. She said under oath in the UK trial that she had donated the money and that is partly why she won that trial. The issue for the US trial is that she lied under oath in the UK trial.
Wow, thank you for making me think in depth about the 1st statement you analysed! I'm not a native speaker, so when I first heard her statement "I shouldn't have had to have donated the money to be believed...", I only understood it as "if I have evidences of DV, me not donating the money should not make me guilty or not a victim" , which I would agree; if she had proofs, undeniable proofs, her not donating should not erase the proofs. I now understand she meant that just pledging and not following through should make her believable and a proof she's a victim who wanted nothing from her alleged abuser. That makes me mad because I was diagnosed with a tumor at 15 and I am still a patient 9 years later. I can tell you that $3.5 million can fund so many pre-trials, or a trial, or renovated rooms and so on. People like JD, who give some of their time to visit kids in hospitals or invite them to shows/premieres, have a TREMENDOUS impact on us. I've been lucky enough to meet one of my favourite singers and some of the cast from a show that I loved and watched when getting my first chemotherapeutic treatments. To this day, 7 years later, I remember everything; those memories make me smile and help me to keep going. AH said that JD "found a new interest" in giving the money, but I remember watching videos of him going to visit sick kids years before I got sick. JD has helped kids but AH couldn't be bothered to ... Hello from Switzerland, by the way! I found your channel a couple weeks back, and I genuinely enjoy how educative, yet easily understandable your videos are :)
She needs income hence these interviews but Heard needs to stop digging. Her 'pledge' argument is absurd. She keeps showing that she is a liar who does not take responsibility every time she opens her mouth. Unfortunately her stock is so low that PR may have advised that any publicity is good publicity but this a totally losing strategy.
As much as I can’t stand celebrity drama, people need to keep calling AH out. I have a feeling she’s going to keep trying to push her BS for a LONG time, unless JD’s team does something. Her lies will only cause more damage to real victims and that cannot go unchallenged.
She's also basically admitting that the announcement to donate the money was an attempt to help her be believed; which shows a base mind-set of manipulation and deception imo
Omg you're right 😲 the virtuous non gold digging victim of a woman, that refuses even to be called a victim, so much of a victim she is. And she gives up all the money, because all she wants is her freedom, poor thing. Nasty
The implicit resentment in "should not have had to donate that money to be believed" also exposes her assertion in that interview that she "wanted nothing" to be the manipulative lie it was.
I can’t imagine that many legal experts on RU-vid will analyse the language used as much as you do. (I often wonder if you’ve got a secret PhD in logic!) Great content, sir.
I’m hoping she sets herself up for another court case. It’s like when she accidentally said TMZ in the uk trial, or Kate moss in the US. She is just a bit thick 😂.
What gets me is how she could be on the stand saying "I use 'donate' and 'pledge' synonymously". How the hell has she not been sat down by her lawyers and had it drilled into her skull that they do *not* mean the same thing, and asserting that they do will undermine your credibility? At least be honest, and try "I was a massive idiot amd thought they were synonymous, but have since learned that they are not".
Is it to do with the American education system, that she doesn't know that a pledge is a promise to do something in future ( will give the sick kids the money) and donated means to have given something in the past ( have already paid the sick kids their money). But she knows all about synonyms?
I am sure that there were multiple times she ignored her lawyers - those times she wasn't outright bullying them. She cannot admit outright failures on her part. It is always someone else's fault.
No she knows she was just trying to twist words that's why she said "I use them synonymously" and not "they are synonyms" by saying that it says yes she knows they technically don't mean the same but to her they do. All in all it just made her look like a weasel or an idiot neither of which are good
Her lawyer Elaine tried selling the same b.s.. Elaine literally said in court the the ACLU and the children's hospital both consider "pledge" and "donation" to mean the same thing. They simply had no better excuse. This wasn't ignorance, they're just lying.
At that point, I don't think she was willing to file a false police report, it's also imo why she never pressed charges because if she did it would have been a spot light that would expose her lies.
The reason she did not file and or Cooperate with the police cause she knew it was a hoax and if she had filed a police complaint and later it found to be false she could be criminally charge for filing a false report this women is not dumb she is some what very Calculated
She needs attention at any cost. Proven liar and disgraced individual. Her only claim to fame happened only after her association to Mr.Depp. She need to be cancelled.
When in one place Heard wants to be credited with not having married Depp for his money as evidenced by her promise to donate the divorce settlement, but in another place she tried to claim she *has* donated the money, redefining the English language when it's found out that she hasn't, and in yet another she tries to twist the issue into her being forced to donate the settlement in order to be believed as if it wasn't her idea in the first place - well, yes, if someone commits to making donations and then doesn't donate and makes excuses about it, that does say something about that persons credibility. Heard is just digging herself an even deeper hole by not being aware or able to accept that people have seen through her trying to have it all ways and contradicting herself. Maybe it's the first time she's really reached a situation where she can't just rewrite the truth again, and she doesn't know how to deal with that.
Also the restraining order was to tie down the apartments so she could stay there and Depp would have to pick up the tab. If she really had the money and didn't need/want his money she would have bolted...to remove herself from the 'danger'.
I actually interpreted her donation comments differently (although the Virginia trial probably makes more sense): "I shouldn't have had to give away my divorce settlement in the first place to be believed that I'm not a gold digger." Fair point, actually. But nobody forced her to say she was going to do it. Nobody forced her to renege on the promise. And nobody forced her to lie over and over again about having already done it. She just never seems to get that the lying is part of the problem, not the solution.
She's lied in this statement on two points: 1 - she said she has donated the entirety of the settlement - when in fact she has not donated the money she has pledged it. 2 She did not 'donate' (pledge) to be believed (that she is a victim of DV?). She did not donate the money, and she made that declaration not in relation to the court case - she made that declaration for publicity.
"If it was a hoax I could've followed up with the police." So she slipped up and admitted she's perfectly capable of lying to the authorities, sort of like when she admitted she was perfectly capable of lying to the media to make JB look bad. She's really not as smart as she thinks she is.
@Andrew Keifer, and also after saying that she wouldn't know how to post the video to TMZ, ( pleeeeze,anyone can easily find out how ), and also if she wanted to mess with her photos she could have done a better job. And this last statement, also came after she had said she would not know how to do that too. Incredible how she truly believes everyone in that courtroom, and all watching the live stream, would not get all the contradictions in her word salads. So many Freudian slips.
Thank you. Great observation and explanation. Yep she tried to say she never should have had to prove she donated the money. Forgetting she had previously and clearly said she had donated the money in its entirety. Answering questions by not answering them. Removing any doubt, as if people needed more proof of how committed she is in her lies. What I love most is when she tells a lie that contradicts a lie she told earlier. (Using her words in a similar way), “I am a little confused how their can be both.” Which lie do we believe? The first one or the second one? Hilarity at its best!
When i was growing up, if i got into trouble, my mom would not argue, just let me talk. Eventually the truth will come out, in your defense of yourself. This is what we are seeing here, her defense is bringing out the truth
I used to work in nonprofit development handling donations and writing thank you letters to major donors. I can attest that there is ZERO ambiguity that pledged and donated mean different things. A pledge is a commitment to give a certain amount (usually in installments over time), and a donation is a gift that's already been received. It's common to break up very large pledges over multiple years so the donor gets the maximum tax benefit. It is NOT common for a major donor to simply stop paying towards a pledge.
Every time a narcissist says one thing you can count on it meaning another. Amber is like Megan Malarkey they have no shame and lie as easily as they breathe
Soo true .. One would think they where in family.. The scary thing is they keep going on through they have been figure out .. THEY GOT NO SENSE OF HOW DUMB THEY LOOK TO US RANDOS DOWN HERE IN EARTH .. ITS MINDBLOWING TO NORMAL PEOPLE AND THEY JUST DONT CATCH THAT PART AND JUST KEEP DIGGING THEMSELVES EVEN FURTHER DEEPER DOWN AND LOOK EVEN MORE MENTAL ..
I’m confused.. if the terms of the divorce settlement were that neither party was to speak about what was decided in the settlement, who asked her to pledge or donate the money? It seems to me, based on the talk show interview that she did, she chose to speak about donating the full settlement amount in an attempt to seem selfless..
Or maybe she only just learnt the actually meaning of donated after the trial, that's why she was using it correctly in the interview, but I too think she knew the meaning of donated already.
You're very kind hearted. I'm a cynic, I think she thought she could make a show of making the pledge, but never make the donation. People would forget about it and the charities wouldn't make a fuss, it's bad PR.
Lol she definitely knew what donating and pledge meant, otherwise there would be no reason why she flipped out when she found out Johnny started donating the 7mil on her behalf and ordered him to hand over the rest
I’ve never before had front row seats to a tragedy perpetrated by one cunning, cold, calculating person, determined to destroy another. To me, this is a foreign film.
I think she meant it more as a "I should never have been 'forced' to pledge the money to begin with". Implying that she felt pressured to pledge the money to charity when really she wanted to kept it. And actually did kept it as we now know...
Excellent summation sir. Its great to hear a British barrister's take on this rather than what the MSM wants to feed us. Greatful for the effort you take to put things in layman's terms for us.
"I shouldn't have had to have donated the money *in an effort* to be believed... I shouldn't have had to have earmarked the entirety of that," sounds an awful lot like, "Forget that I lied about giving money to sick children and true victims of DV. It has no standing on my credibility and whether or not I lied about everything else." Unfortunately, Amber, a history of lying repeatedly is going to go against your credibility, whether you think that's justified or not. It's a moot point. In isolation, no, it probably wouldn't have had that much of an impact on her credibility, but coupled with a criminal record of pleading guilty to falsifying a legal document, being arrested for DV on her ex-wife, submitting doctored evidence into court, and very clearly being the main source for TMZ and then working hard to cover it up under oath, it really is an accumulation of evidence to say that we unfortunately can't believe anything she says. If she had an ounce of real proof of the abuse, it would have spoken for itself.
Did anyone see video of her giving a speech about how great social media is for calling out people doing bad and we are lucky to have this tool for being able to speak out?
"I shouldn't have had to donated the money to be believed" then you should have kept your mouth shut about it in the first place and not used the word donated at all whilst clout chasing fame, now you have infamy 👏👏 well done.
AH thinks that the world has forgotten that on a televised talk show, she bragged that she had given the *entire* settlement away *because* she didn't want anything. The interviewer praised AH for setting the gold digger rumors to rest. AH took a victory lap bathing in the approval. The fact that AH refused to have JD make the payments directly to the charities of her choice was key to what ultimately happened. AH constantly insults everyone's memories & intelligence. Imagine how one would feel if one had been a jury member...
According to leaked insider documents, in an effort to solve certain financial challenges, AH is claiming copyright on "my dog stepped on a bee" and is filing paperwork to sue the internet for Royalties. Kaching!! The memes must flow ...
That's being too nice... She said "I shouldn't have had to donate the money to be believed"... Meaning... She did it only to try & make people believe she was a good person. She didn't give a shit about the charity! It was all about her trying to look like she's a wonderful person. She's Slime!
There was an audio where she claimed it was a negotiation!! That's when she didn't want to get kicked out of the penthouse!!! She then sent a letter to JD and asked for 3 penthouses , car and 50k a month!!! She said if not, she'll do this thing to JD!!!!!! Seriously this woman is evil
Here’s another take: She thinks she had to publicly pledge/donate the $7M divorce settlement so her allegations of abuse would be believed. The “donation” did help bolster her accusations for several years. But now she’s been caught lying so she’s saying she shouldn’t have had to donate the money to be believed. True, but only if she was telling the truth about the abuse. ETA: She’s distracting from the question which was about “pledge” versus “donate” but she often does this.
Excellent point regarding her use of the word “donated” vs “pledged”‼️Her saying “if it was a hoax” shows how she’s having a difficult time supporting her own lies‼️
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less. ' 'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things. ' - Lewis Carrol . And of courses, this lead to... Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, All the king's horses and all the king's men, Couldn't put Humpty together again
Nailed it on the P.D. I thought the same. Please clarify on, I saw a article on how she said she couldn't donate, because of attorney fees. To my understanding she is using her homeowners insurance to pay her legal fees. Also the judge had said that it wasn't supposed to be brought up in court. Elaine did that in Closing arguments. Is is something they can get in trouble for?
"I shouldn't have had to donate it to be believed"-no one SAID that she had to. THAT wasn't a stipulation to being believed. Amber Heard CHOSE to "donate" her settlement--and she made her DONATION "in the media" for the maximum benefit to her reputation. AH claimed the CHLA was HER favorite charity--she had donated her time and money--all LIES--CHLA sent her a letter offering to give her a tour so that she could see what they do--hardly an invitation for someone who purports it her favorite charity. CHLA IS one of Mr. Depp's favorite charities-he has made so many donations that they have seen fit to honor him with awards (2006, CHLA Courage to Care Award-long before Ms. Heard came into his life). Ms. Heard's "donation" did serve a purpose-it fully illustrated that there are no boundaries to her lying. If you can lie about donating millions to sick and dying children-you are capable of lying about anything. As to not wanting to co-operate with Police, for the DV to be "out" and get Mr. Depp into trouble (bear in mind the co-conspirators made TWO ILLEGAL 911 CALLS)--Amber Heard had absolutely no control over that. If the Police had determined Ms. Heard was a Victim of Domestic Abuse-they would have arrested "Mr. Heard" (that's the name they wrote down). California, like almost ALL States, is "Mandatory Reporting"--ask Josh Brolin--he was arrested for DV despite his wife being desperate for him not to be. Police have control in DV situations because it protects the Victims. IF Amber Heard HAD followed up with the Police, and given a statement, she would NOW be facing charges for giving a false statement to Police. So, keep accusing Mr. Depp of crimes for which he has been exonerated--we'll have another Defamation Suit, the Judge can issue an Injunction barring Amber Heard from EVER speaking about the case, Ms. Heard can find herself sanctioned--facing financial penalties--in Contempt of Court--all before Australia brings it's Perjury/Subornation of Perjury Charges (and possibly "Glassing" Charges). By then the US and UK may have their OWN Perjury/Subornation of Perjury Charges. I'm hoping California pursues Conspiracy to Commit Extortion--and goes after ALL the co-conspirators...there's no need to have successfully blackmailed someone--the crime is in the Conspiracy.
Thanks to another youtube commenter on a different video, I am satisfied as to the true explanation for the whole pledged vs donated question. Wealthy people often pay out donations over many years as a way to obtain tax benefits, so she was correct in saying in that context that pledging and donating are the same thing. She could not however explain it in court and in interviews because revealing the tax angle would have undermined her goal of seeming noble and disinterested in Johnny's money.
it's a bad thing that AH's name is "Heard" and that we need to have victims heard... I wouldn't want to be associated with AH.. not sure how I can make it better though
Something NOBODY ever mentions is that among the drugs and chaos and calls to the police, there HAS to be some events where she is on hallucinogens, whilst even her mates dont know it. Nobody wants to talk to the police in that state unless they're the fluffy festival coppers. I think this is one of those occasions.
She never once used the word PLEDGE before the trial, she has been saying she DONATED since like 2006 where she went to interviews, and very clearly the interviewers asked "You gave all that money to charity?" and she very plainly said "Yes I'm great like that". It baffles me that criminal charges haven't been pressed against her, perjury charges at the very least for her and all her "witnesses", or just perjury and coercion against Amber for forcing these people to make false statements. The law is not a tool that should be abused by anyone and she doesn't seem to realise the severity of what she has done.
And earmarking the money was actually done in the divorce settlement. “She wanted nothing”. If that was true then JD would have donated all of it directly to charity in her name. Truth is she wanted everything.
