She had 6 years to put together a more believable narrative. Surely she should have remembered her script better by the time she went before a jury. Maybe she should have worn an earpiece .
Which tends to support my theory that Amber only tries to pretend that she's intelligent. She's not. And her motivations are WAY more obvious to the average interested person. The only genuine emotions that I saw her express on the stand were self-pity, and outrage over social media mockery of her testimony. Amber! Read the room! Please just disappear for a couple of years 🙏 P.S. Did anyone else notice that she NEVER mentioned her daughter in her "statement" to the press? Is it confirmed that she really doesn't have a daughter?
Sick of AH . NO REAL VICTIM of continuing abuse would poke the bear and provoke a fight like she constantly tried to do in all the tape recordings listened to in court . A victim would Never dare berate their aggressor to get bashed .
This is actually plausible for real victims to do, albeit only a minority do so What really made me believe Depp though was Heard's story when cross-referencing it to her own evidence, her UK testimony, and the paparazzi photos
I read that the insurance company would not pay her lawyer fees if she turned down the settlement. They were cutting their losses and she could either go along or pay her way without them.
That's what I believe! They would be paying to eventually lose and they knew that JD's legal team had a strong argument The fact that this trial was televised and thoroughly watched by tens of millions was not in their favour The briefs were discussed on Law Tube and the attorneys knew they were just buying and wasting their time I'm sure AH fought their decision but she had no choice and didn't have her own money to pursue this any farther
She had the first 13 months of a four year relationship until Jekyll and Hyde monster joined the marriage. Amber held back calling the police countless times knowing it would make the papers and cause harm. They were different in that sense than most couples. All those denigrating comments Mr Depp spewed at her and to others are quite telling.
The reason she did not settle was because she never ever ever thought for 1 minute she would lose the Virginia case , the reason she has settled now is because she does not want to end up totally broke
Or the pressure from her insurance companies became too much to bear as they would no longer support her. The settlement for $1m was the limit that they could go to. It was in their interests to cap any further expenditure on a fruitless battle.
@@sharonjuniorchess Yes, that would set a dangerous precedence! I'm astounded that the insurance company paid for her defense, since it was found that she was malicious in her intent to defame Johnny.
Maybe the insurance company refused to pay for her appeal because she lost due to malice. AH always used other people's money and the thought that she would have to pay to continue was too much for her to bear. I hope the insurance company continues in their lawsuit against her, forcing her to pay at least something.
Anyway you could do a deep dive on how Amber’s freeloading friends are all worth at least a million dollars with Rocky being worth 1.5 million. There is no way for anyone to have a net worth of that amount when only in their mid thirties especially when we know none of them have ever held a professional job. How is Rocky the bead maker/part time yoga instructor worth 1.5 million? The rest, Whitney, TO, and Josh all worth a cool million also with no professional work in their life. I don’t believe Whitney has ever worked a full time job in her life. She from my research has only worked occasional part time gigs her entire life yet she’s worth a million dollars. Something is very wrong here. I and others have expressed interest in knowing if Amber is behind their sudden windfall of fortune. Curious minds want to know.:). Thank you-
and I think it has come as a body blow to her just how unpopular and unwanted she really is. The more she pursues this the more people do not want to touch her with a bargepole. What she hasn't factored is that with something as big as this has been and as detrimental to so many factions....there will be no redemption.
Please don’t “dismiss” your channel, now that the Depp/Heard case has been settled! Oh NO! You have been an invaluable resource for the way the legal system works! You provided unbiased commentary throughout this case, and made it so much easier for me (the layman) understand all the processes. There are ALWAYS cases out there needing your expertise in the “whys “ and “what fors” of the case. I have soooooo appreciated your insight and thoughts on this case, losing you now would be awful for those of us interested in how our laws and court systems work. Thank you, again, for everything Ms. Burkhart!
Much as I have loved the Heard-Depp commentary, I am very much looking forward to Andrea moving on to new cases. I like her original concept of Depp's ordeal as a "hero's journey"--at the end of which, the hero is supposed to be wiser, and go on to face new adventures, not come back to put in the boot. As a viewer I want to do the same, and leave Amber behind. "Being left behind" is the best fate for her anyway. Also, as a lawyer-viewer, I love best Andrea's courtroom commentary--that is where I learn the most, and where we are getting the direct benefit of her experience. So I hope she soon picks up a new case and starts taking us through arguments and witness examinations.
The day she released that Statement she lost over 1.3 million followers on insta. Thats it, she's done! I can't see her coming back from her own demise.
Thank you for your breakdown. Amber did not have to use any of her divorce settlement on legal fees apparently. Nor did she donate. The same settlement she would have had without all this nonsense she pulled for all these years. The trial ruined her career which wouldn't have happened if she would have just shut up from the beginning. Her reputation would have been intact and she wouldn't need all this false grandstanding. Yet, she too was a victim of child abuse, like Johnny, lest we forget. See how much it damages people into adulthood? He seems damaged but more tenderhearted for it. She is a sad, damaged person with mental disorders who cannot own up to anything. If her marriage had ended amicably she would have been admired for overcoming her childhood and making it in Hollywood. Instead she created this false abuse narrative and was exposed. What a shame. I learned lessons from this: how someone can be a bold faced liar and deny any fault; how the mainstream media slants the news; how the law works thanks to UA-camrs like you, and how the Hollywood life style is not one to be envied. Thanks for your time devoted to this.
I have my doubts about whether she was as abused as she claims. If you look into her relationships, she is always claiming that her previous partner abused her to her new partner. I wouldn't be surprised if she also made up childhood abuse stories to garner sympathy, or exploit benevolent sexism when she wanted it. Mostly because she seems to have kept a close relationship with her father over the past decade, constantly socializing with him, appearing in photos with him, praising him. If she was as much of a DV "fighter" as she now claims to be, this behaviour is suspect. Given her propensity for fabrication I just wouldn't be surprised if she was actually the golden child, and Whitney the whipped child in the family dynamic. I have no proof though, it's just speculation. I just take her abuse stories with a huge grain of salt.
This only proves that abuse has no bearing of how much an asshole a person would grow into - only that Heard was already an asshole and would always have been no matter how she was raised I've also seen commenters and posters of family members with Borderline Personality Disorder, claiming that they're actually not bad. I've come to the conclusion that Personality Disorders are simply descriptive, at most only heightening the amount of assholery already in a person rather than causing any assholery
I mean, I know Cynthia is a bot, but come on - not only has it been copy-pasting the same reply to multiple comments here, this is also another bot's copy-pasted comment on KrakenTheBox's video from Johnny Depp
As much as Amber likes to dictate her defence/her truth I suspect there was a great amount of pressure from her new lawyers and the insurance company to settle. I still find it incredible that her insurance footed the entire bill and she does not pay a dime. I look forward to your future videos and wish you a happy new year.
I agree. And also there was a very good, even probable chance that the finding against Johnny and his lawyer would have been thrown out or overturned. She and her minions have hinged her supposed innocence on that, and her settling now doesn't allow that to happen. I still think the Jury didn't quite understand that part. Amber and her friends did create a scene but the first police came before they could create it.
Shes still under "mega" amounts of litigation... So shes not done with court yet... However, shes finally conceded, she cant win against JD.... Hope the others are successful in suing her also
the fact that she still want to make it seem like she had suffer financial lost ..she still make it seem in her statement that she pay when its already out in the public that she did not spend the divorce money on the lawsuit..and the insurance that pay everything is even in legal battle about it..
Agreed. Something very strange about Pamela Johnson’s involvement. Insurance companies will do everything NOT to pay out where possible. Something nefarious there.
What really gets me I'd this criminal liar and abuser gets off Scott free when she only paid the policies for a year or 2. Ive had the same ins co and have a 1,000 deductible because i can't afford a lower deductible. When I had a flood, I had to pay the deductible and had to fight with the ins for a 30k claim. Then I had to pay points for at least 3 years! Why does she get off Scott free???? Makes me sick!
Thanks for your sound and intelligent reviews on this court case. Appreciate the fact that you never turned this into a left vs right issue which AH tried to do. You also did not turn this into a male vs female issue. There are awful people across all spectrums of division. I will continue to follow your legal channel. Happy New Year, Andrea!
@@theloanranger2632 my question with cosby was this why go after the guy 2 plus decades after why not not do him at top of his prime, why wait to do the man close to his death bed???
@Jason howe They did go after him at the time! The district attorney of the local Pennsylvania county used his best investigative resources and did not believe it was possible to criminally prosecute Cosby. The DA decided to use his prosecutorial discretion/power to promise that the state would never prosecute Bill Cosby for the allegations, which meant Cosby could never assert his 5th amendment in a civil lawsuit. Then, years later, a subsequent district attorney made a campaign promise to prosecute Bill Cosby and ignored the promise from the prior DA and used incriminating evidence gathered from Cosby's forced waiver of his 5th amendment.
@@aburkhartlaw #22:22 amber would have fought this till bankruptcy, but let's not forget she's doing this because the insurance company is after her ( you know this better than us ) . She was forced had she not done this they had a case against her , her lawyers were not paid they would also take her to court and Johnny's settlement would have still been pending. She looked in the mirror and knew her "looks" ( honestly I don't get all the hype about her looks are about as a guy ) are gone and no one is saving her so she settled, for now . If I know amber like a crackhead she'll be back .
Andrea, thank you for all that you did to help us understand this case between JD and AH from start to finish. I look forward to your next project. I wish you good health, wealth, and prosperity this new year.
I completely agree with you about the settlement being good for Johnny. One of the things that has been so admirable about him throughout this nightmare is how authentic he has been, his behavior always matching what he has said. He said it wasn't about the money for him and that he did not wish to bankrupt her, that reflected in this settlement. He has said that he just wants to move forward and put this behind him, that is also reflected in this settlement. He has been more generous than necessary, once again, and continues to show that he has never exhibited the behavior that she has accused him of. So much of this case was about whose words were true, whose actions matched, and over and over again Johnny has proved to be that person. Well done, I'm so happy he is able to start the new year free from her once and for all.
What really riles me is that Amber with the help of the main media by clamoring her innocence is still defaming J Depp. Telling she has been done wrong in court is same as claiming Johnny is a wife beater, and that is continued defamation. I am mad there is not clause where she has to shut up. BTW: Thank you for sharing your clear and impartial analysis .
Andrea, I don't know if you are reading these comments, but I have a suggestion for the future. There are a lot of legal myths out there. One being Prenups are ironclad. I have a really good friend that learned this the hard way a while back. He had his tossed by the Judge based on the Allard V Allard caselaw in Michigan. This is an area that most of lawtube ignore.
Andrea, you did very well not getting sick over Ambers statement. I mean you could tell the bad taste reading it left in your mouth. Very professional of you. Thank you and Happy New Year!
I'm really going to miss my Sunday coffee with Andrea! I believe it's normal to feel a bit melancholy about this trial coming to its end! It's similar to reading a great book and savoring that last page! I wish you the happiest of New Years and look forward to seeing what you decide to share with us in the future! On a personal note..... Thank-you for everything you did to help Johhny voice the truth and regain his life!
Absolutely love how you break down these documents for us, you have a very sweet sarcasm that is breath of fresh air. Thank You so much Andrea can't wait to see what you are going to do next,Happy New Year to you and your Family
Whatever you decide to cover, I'll be watching! The depth and breadth of your legal knowledge and clear explanations of the process are fascinating to me. I already stated that I thought this case was about more - about testing the concept of 'innocent until proven guilty", and you put a heart on it, so I think you feel the same. So... I have an idea for a show, maybe even a series. With all the malicious litigation that seems to be popping up, could you cover the LAWYERS responsibility to the truth. The SJC Rules of Professional Conduct, the way I have read them, seem to demand that lawyers hold each other to account for breaking those rules - but it is something you hardly ever see happening. Why not? It's not like the 'thin blue line' for cops or medical malpractice where every doctor knows they are going to make a mistake sooner or later. It is an adversarial system that would rather keep the politicians out of it at a national level so I see staying quiet as a net loss for the public, the law in general, and for lawyers themselves. What am I missing? Thank you, Andrea. I hope you get a chance to read this. :)
Loved how you picked up on the difference between ‘her truth’ and ‘THE truth’! And I really hope your prediction comes true! Thank you as always for your video and for giving a true legal analysis of this whole situation!
This "settlement" is a MASSIVE face - saving exercise. Her lawyers probably told her that her appeal stands no chance of winning, so it would be in her best interests to drop it and negotiate some sort of settlement with Johnny. I think she's totally mistaken if she thinks there are no bars to her saying whatever she wants. Since Johnny could haul her backside back into court if she she continued to defame him, she has been effectively gagged. I'd be interested to see how things pan out in the coming year!
Her mainstream financial and political friends abandoned her so it was just a matter of time for her to settle.That's the measure of her self-entitlement:she has always thought to win because all people around her reinforced this.She will survive but it's a colossal loss for the socio-political agenda that was behind her and pushed her and used her (while she was thinking it was the contrary).I am interested in the Marilyn Manson case because it's the same case with different people but same ideological umbrella for the woman involved (presses, movement, socials that reinforce a narrative despite contradictory proofs)
Whatever and Whomever was behind AH realized this was a devastating blow to the women's movement and it's capital potential! JD was suppose to be a Big Fish but the ill intended game back fired big time. It alerted many people to the extent a women can and will go to perpetuate a false claim This case was a big loss for the once trusted MeToo or Times Up movements as well as ACLU in addition to Hollywood studios and News outlets They had to cut her off ~ and I believe the same will happen in the Marilyn Manson case which is the same movie with different players
I was following this on a couple of other UA-camrs and most in the chat were relieved, we felt that JD won and he just wanted to move on. A few weren’t real happy with it, thought he’d given up too soon but were willing to accept. A couple however, we’re genuinely angry, mad at JD for “letting them down”, that he should have followed through because he was the “spokesperson” for all those men who were also abused. Well heck, I doubt those two would have been happy with anything. Johnny Depp deserves to stop and move on. He’s been harassed long enough.
I am happy JD settled. He already achieved his goal. What's the point of dragging this? I think AH is already suffering consequences with her career and reputation in taters. I am sure this was not the outcome she hoped for when she wrote the OpEd.
I want to thank Andrea for all the work she has done on these smart and easy to digest videos. You've always stayed objective and avoided any ad hominem attacks. Imo you're the sharpest of the Lawtubers, not to take away from the other great lawyers out there on UA-cam. So glad this is finally over. Whatever you decide to cover next I'll absolutely check it out. From crowd sourcing all the unsealed documents to all your fantastic videos. I hope you know that we all appreciate what you've done. Thanks again for everything.
Thank you, Andrea. I always have absolute confidence that you will provide a clear but entertaining view. I started following you, and a number of others, during the Depp court ordeal. However, I have continued to follow very few. Your knowledge and insight are truly appreciated. May 2023 be the best year you've ever had!
I agree. I started following several, including Andrea, during the Depp v AH fiasco. I now still follow two. Andrea and A Lawyer You Know. The rest turned into political rock throwers.
It is not for us to feel let down. I don't think there's much to be gained from dragging this out any further. To my mind, the fact that Amber is doing the sensible thing and dropping the appeal is some kind of miracle! I'm glad it's over, and that Johnny walks away with his reputation restored, I can't ask for better than that. Your coverage has been amazing Andrea, thank you so much for all the great insight, and I can't wait to see your coverage of the Marilyn Manson trial! Happy New Year
The insurance companies pulled the plug on Amber. There is no way she would want to settle anything ever. She would have been delighted to keep picking at Johnny through the courts. Once Pamela had been dispatched from Travelers they realised they had already paid way too much for this case and had no intention of continuing to pay out. Give Johnny the one million as mentioned in her policy and put a stop to hemorrhaging money. Travelers and NY marine know they would be spending millions more on cases between themselves and on Amber's pointless but never ending appeals. I think Travelers probably think they would lose against NY marine (or get FA) and also lose the ridiculous appeal by Amber. They had been fecked over and they wanted out, so she had to settle. Johnny wants her gone a long long way from him and to get on in his professional and personal life without this hell. While it's annoying she personally isn't paying anything, she never ever would have, there was never going to be any satisfaction from her paying up. Settling is probably the most annoying outcome for Amber, it's over baby and she doesn't like other people telling her when something is over!! So suck on that Amber.
Fake johnny Depp scammers are asking for money no real numbers for charties and no real meet and greet..try calling management company .they don't exist online
@@kaileim970 I would imagine they have settled too, and probably more in favour of NY marine. But they both needed to stop bleeding money on lawyers and more litigation.
@@roseharvey2664 why do you imagine they have settled their case? It has nothing to do with the Depp/Heard monetary settlement. It is completely separate. I would imagine Travelers still wants NY Marine to share the $8+ million dollars they spent on her defense and appeal plus the $1 million in settlement.
I’ve really enjoyed your commentary and will continue to follow you. You’ve been my most trusted source of information during the Depp-Heard debacle. I’ve learned a lot! Thanks!
You are right, I didn't notice that she switched "my truth" with "the truth" when she legally had to. Thank you for all your contribution. Can't help to notice you are looking so pretty ans happy today Andrea! I interpret it like a good omen for the year yo come. Happy New Year to all you awesome people out there.
@@micheledematteis2072 she really is. I usually don't comment on the physique, but objectively she has a glowing cuteness about her only happyness, pregnancy or very expensive pills would give to women
So the 7 million she couldn’t ‘donate’ due to the case, where’s that? Because her insurers paid her legal fees and her insurers are paying the £1 million settlement so where is the £7million? ?
Happy New Year, Andrea and Everyone! So glad that my first video is coming from you! This is going to be a very interesting year, I just have a feeling. But let's try to rest and recuperate as much as possible before the next election year begins. As far as Amber not suffering any consequences from the fallout of the defamation lawsuit...she's lost her reputation as an actress, for sure. I doubt anyone in Hollywood is lining up to cast her in their next movie - or off-Broadway play producers either, for that matter. Congratulations Johnny! And all the best to you, Andrea! I can't wait to see what you're going to do next. It's going to be an interesting year legally. The Sara Boone suitcase murder is coming up out of Florida. There's a lot of interest there. The LYK, Peter Tragos, just did a poll about what cases his viewers were interested in for the coming year, and this was close to the top.
I agree this is the best outcome for Johnny. This would have tied him up and he just wants to move on. Thank you Andrea for all your coverage on this case. I always looked forward to your breakdown and I look forward to what you cover in the future.
Can't wait to hear more about the Marilyn Manson cases from you, Andrea. I hope you are interested in Manson's rights as much as you are interested in Johnny's rights. You are such a good commentator and you give so much reliable insight in your videos.
Thank you, Andrea! I appreciated your clear and concise explanations of the briefs. Many legal and other channels simply read them with little or no explanation. Your gave sound analysis that was so helpful in understanding the law in this case. ⭐️
Thank you so much Andrea! I can’t express how much I’ve learned from watching you during the Depp trial. I look forward to enjoying your insight on future cases. I’d love to see you follow Manson as well as Courtney Clenney. But whatever you do I’ll be there watching and learning . Thanks again!
Happy new year, Andrea. Been waiting for your pearls of wisdom breakdown. Phew!! Glad to hear you breakdown her (and her lawyers who would have cleared it to avoid further defamation) spin. More content please 🇬🇧
Good analysis and a fitting close to this saga. I suggest 3 factors motivated Heard to settle ; she's running out of resources to continue "her fight," she's faced so much public ridicule that she doesn't want to deal with it anymore and, so long as she continues she won't be able to return to her career and make money.
given the choice between continuing to be 'a public figure representing domestic abuse' fighting her case for all survivors - and having $9 million dollars written off her debt, she chose to save her own skin.
You Rock Andrea! I love the way you explain the law to be clear and concise even when it seems not to be. You are intelligent, caring and precise! Can't wait to see what's next!
Thank you for this video and all the other videos you shared with us during this trial, you certainly helped me understand the legal process of it all from beginning to end and I appreciate that whole heartily. I’m happy AH finally threw in the towel and JD is free from her and can move on and enjoy life with his family & friends, he most certainly deserve that So thanks again for all the legal information and for sharing your expertise with us, I know I learned a lot and I was grateful for that.. Happy New Year to you and your family!!
Excellent commentary & sentiment towards Mr Depp - you made me smile & I sincerely hope he is smiling too. Although I've never taken it to court, I have been severely abused & all I wanted to do was escape - I did, changing everything in my life. It takes time, never leaves you & often haunts you but smiling again is possible. I look forward to what your channel brings to us this coming year & wish you & all your viewers a healthy & happy new year 🎉 xXxXx
Thanks Andrea! Your analysis of Depp v Heard has been awesome. I’m looking forward to following your thoughts on other cases… but for now I’ll just let you know that you’re appreciated. Thanks again.
I'm interested in the case of Jared Leisek, the founder of Adventures With Purpose (AWP). He has been charged with SA against a family member, which allegedly happened in the 90s, when he was a teenager and the child was 9. This is a cause and a UA-cam channel I supported financially, because I really saw the value of what they do. (They use specialized equipment and diving skills to find people who have been missing for years and were thought to have wound up underwater in their vehicles for various reasons. AWP doesn't charge families or law enforcement for their services, but finding long lost loved ones brings closure to the families.) Unsurprisingly, so much mixed information and opinions being flung around, the entire operation in disarray, allegations of improper use of donations, wildly conflicting stories, and some very strange email messages back and forth between Leisek and his alleged victim that hints at a large family dysfunction where the SA was basically more widespread throughout the family and an accepted activity he claims to have broken the cycle of for himself and his family. There was a court hearing in November that was stopped abruptly when it was found that a UA-camr was illegally streaming live from the proceedings. I'm very interested in this case because I was monetarily supporting the organization, believing in the good it was doing, but of course all of this started a side sh%t storm of rumors about the organization, what's happening with money and donations, who is in charge, etc., so I temporarily suspended my financial support. Because ... wtf? 🤷🏻♀️ I'll be following the case and would love to hear your commentary as this goes on.
Thank you Andrea for all your beautiful sharp wisdom, clarity and depth. It's been an awesome journey and continue to subscribe to this channel for interesting case law and easy to understand interpretation on the law.
Thank you for your commentary and thoughts throughout about this case - I also appreciate that you weren't annoying in personality!!! You have been imformative, pleasant and smart!! This case will be missed for sure - sad to see it done (hopefully done) but so so glad for him! Congrats Johnny but I still don't belive we have Heard the last from Heard! That mouth just can't stay shut!
I love the deep dives, I'm very happy you are going to continue to do those!! You're coverage of this case has been outstanding!! Thanks for everything!
I think we all know that a narcissistic person like that will never apologize or admit to what they have done. They will never take responsibility for their actions. All the care about is their image and money. They do not have empathy for anyone. I'm sure most of us have someone like that or has had someone like that in our lives. She's just one of them. It's no surprise she will never ever admit to her lies deceptions and abusive behavior.
I don't think she would back off on her own as long as her insurance would have footed the bill. I bet insurance and her lawyers slap some sense into her. Can't see any statements from her lawyers, that says a lot .
I’m so glad this is over for Johnny. Her abuse is enough and I hope he is happy. Thank you Andrea, I enjoy how through you have been in explaining the law for us law-challenged individuals. I hope you can find an interesting case for us all to follow again. ❤
Sorry to be frivolous and out of topic. But I really liked your grey hairs here and there. We never get to see good looking women aging naturally. It looks great dyed too, though!
Yup, love the new look as well, and do what you want to do, and apologies for making such personal comments, but I, too, liked the few grey hairs, especially since it's so unusual to see. I read a great article of a woman who, older, stopped dying her hair after oh, 20 years, and she said the hardest part wasn't so much the slow ugly transformation back to grey, but the fact that she could no longer use her hairdresser as a pick-me-up. No more: I've been feeling blah these days, so why not, give me something a little different today! So interesting for me, a bald man, although I could dye my beard I suppose, but that always looks awful.
When someone lies they say “my” truth. When someone is being honest they say “THE” truth. Her whole statement was AH gas lighting the world. A way to try and spin the truth. Her desperation to try to make the world believe she told the truth and she was the victim. If she had any chance to win she would never had settled. I love your channel and how thorough you are in your videos. The facts, insights, opinion and tone is a great reason to watch. You make things easy to understand and entertaining. But can we take a moment for the moment you said regarding JD’s NDA and his right to have AH shut the “f” up!😳 That was unexpected but gratifying to hear you say that. It certainly captures the weight and frustration of AH once again demanding certain actions fromJD and his team but not at all following legal restrictions regarding anything herself. Hearing you say that made me like you a little bit more than I already do. If that’s possible, lol! Great video as always! Thank you for all the hard work you put into them for us!
Dear Andrea, your commentaries have truly been found treasure in the midst of all the media madness. Your discussions have been wonderfully informative and entertaining. I look forward to see where you focus next. It's also gratifying to see things winding up in ways that overwhelmingly favors Johnny Depp and put the lying, extortionist golddigger Amber Heard in her place. 😂
My greatest concern is that Depp seems to have given away most of his leverage over Heard, certainly if you accept her version of the settlement. It feels very much like one-sided disarmament, at a point where he essentially had Heard on the ropes. I suppose you could compare it to the scene with the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where king Arthur graciously offers a draw when his opponent refuses to surrender after losing both arms and legs. However, unlike the Black Knight I don't think Heard will ever be fully disarmed: she will keep crossing the line unless she is swatted down every single time. Like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, she will keep testing the electric fences, and at the first hint that the power is down she will break out of her enclosure and go on a rampage again. I hope Andrea is right and this is just a face-saving last gasp. Personally, I think this is just the prelude to the extended pity-party stage of Heard's career.
Thank you for your insightful and well-reasoned analyses of the topics you have covered this year. I have learned a lot about the law from you; your delivery of the material is so informative and entertaining. I look forward to following you in the coming year, which I hope will be a happy and productive one for you.
Thank you for all your hard work and explanation on this case. You really broke things down in a genuine way, and I appreciate that. Can't wait to see what else you over. I would like to suggest George Anthony vs. Casey Anthony defamation case. I would love to hear your thoughts on that.
Happy New Year and thank you Andrea! I really like your breakdowns, very concise and easy to follow. I am watching Vallow/Daybell, Courtney Clenney, Murdaugh, SBF and The Idaho 4. Anything you cover I'll watch tho.
Andrea, I thoroughly enjoyed every one of your insightful presentations on this case. Clear, filled with subtle humor and even grace. I hope you continue to take on cases and explain the ins and outs to us in the year and probably years ahead. Cases that touch the heart would fit I think.
Putting aside Depp & Heard I have been fascinated by the insights that I've gained into the American (and partly British) legal system and I was actually looking forward to the appeals outcome and the insurers fight. I came to your channel later in the saga but I've particularly enjoyed your reporting and analysis.
I don't think she's throwing in the towel at all. I think she's drawing a line in order to regroup and get ready to launch a new attack line. And she still has $6.5m to do it, in addition to a largely still-compliant media and various factions. All that's happened here is she's made a calculation that the court process would be expensive and wouldn't yield bang-for-buck. She's not done. Her psychopathy won't let her be done. Her yoked cash cow broke its tether and made her look bad, and she can't stand it.
Happy New Year! I look forward to whatever you decide to cover next, especially since there is so much legal issues in the world. I would love to hear more about cases/people you defend.♥
Andrea glad to hear you will be looking at the Marilyn Manson case. I am wondering with your criminal law background if you would be willing to cover the Moscow Idaho murder trial as it unfolds ? As a fellow Washington state resident this case is very close to home as 2 if my family members are former graduates of WSU and UI.
Thank you, Andrea, for your insights and breakdown of the legal processes. I have learned a lot from your channel. ❤️🤗👍 From the outset of the litigation, it seemed to me that Johnny was being dragged down by it. Amber, on the other hand, seemed to flourish when she thought "her truth" was keeping her in the limelight. Thank you for pointing out the "my Truth" to "the Truth"! If she learned only that, it was a good outcome. As JD said on the stand, he will wear the stigma of her allegations for the rest of his life, no matter the outcome of the trial. The Jury gave him his life back, and now he's moving on. Amber is stuck in the past trying to get more and more from JD.
I’m sure I’m not alone in hoping her insurance companies carry on with their own cases, isn’t it fraud to take out insurance KNOWING you’re going to write something actionable in the near future, I’m sure I wouldn’t get away with taking out insurance against fire damage then setting fire to my house! I feel for the people who will have huge increases in the cost of their insurance policies to cover the massive loss they’ll have taken in the cost of defending her.
Except for her reputation, AH walks away unscathed - maybe she's liability uninsurable. Still able to spend JD's black widow divorce payout. Who will be her next victim?
She had 6 years to put together a more believable narrative. Surely she should have remembered her script better by the time she went before a jury. Maybe she should have worn an earpiece .
Lol. ❤️
😂💋👌
I think I could have lied and been a better actress on the stand than she did especially for $100 M.
And this from an actress who is used to memorizing scripts too. She just took it for granted that she would believed no matter her performance.
Which tends to support my theory that Amber only tries to pretend that she's intelligent. She's not. And her motivations are WAY more obvious to the average interested person. The only genuine emotions that I saw her express on the stand were self-pity, and outrage over social media mockery of her testimony.
Amber! Read the room! Please just disappear for a couple of years 🙏
P.S. Did anyone else notice that she NEVER mentioned her daughter in her "statement" to the press? Is it confirmed that she really doesn't have a daughter?
Yes, I've been waiting for Andrea to break this down! Wonderful way to start the new year.
Sick of AH . NO REAL VICTIM of continuing abuse would poke the bear and provoke a fight like she constantly tried to do in all the tape recordings listened to in court . A victim would Never dare berate their aggressor to get bashed .
This is actually plausible for real victims to do, albeit only a minority do so
What really made me believe Depp though was Heard's story when cross-referencing it to her own evidence, her UK testimony, and the paparazzi photos
I read that the insurance company would not pay her lawyer fees if she turned down the settlement. They were cutting their losses and she could either go along or pay her way without them.
oooh this is what i was wondering … if she’s broke bc she owes the lawyers
That makes sense.
That's what I believe! They would be paying to eventually lose and they knew that JD's legal team had a strong argument
The fact that this trial was televised and thoroughly watched by tens of millions was not in their favour
The briefs were discussed on Law Tube and the attorneys knew they were just buying and wasting their time
I'm sure AH fought their decision but she had no choice and didn't have her own money to pursue this any farther
Yeah they sued her for it, now that she payed the settlement that suit will be dropped and I'm pretty sure her insurance company will leave her too.
You're so right - never engaging with her again is the true win. Happy New Year and thanks!
She had it all and she lost it all because of her own actions - justice served
👊💯💯
Amen!
💰 Fraud 💰 alert 💰 fake 💰 johnny 💰 Depp 💰 scammers 💰 are 💰 asking 💰 for 💰 money 💰
Greed has no boundaries, where AH, is concerned.
She had the first 13 months of a four year relationship until Jekyll and Hyde monster joined the marriage. Amber held back calling the police countless times knowing it would make the papers and cause harm. They were different in that sense than most couples. All those denigrating comments Mr Depp spewed at her and to others are quite telling.
The reason she did not settle was because she never ever ever thought for 1 minute she would lose the Virginia case , the reason she has settled now is because she does not want to end up totally broke
Or the pressure from her insurance companies became too much to bear as they would no longer support her. The settlement for $1m was the limit that they could go to. It was in their interests to cap any further expenditure on a fruitless battle.
@@sharonjuniorchess Yes, that would set a dangerous precedence! I'm astounded that the insurance company paid for her defense, since it was found that she was malicious in her intent to defame Johnny.
Maybe the insurance company refused to pay for her appeal because she lost due to malice. AH always used other people's money and the thought that she would have to pay to continue was too much for her to bear. I hope the insurance company continues in their lawsuit against her, forcing her to pay at least something.
Anyway you could do a deep dive on how Amber’s freeloading friends are all worth at least a million dollars with Rocky being worth 1.5 million. There is no way for anyone to have a net worth of that amount when only in their mid thirties especially when we know none of them have ever held a professional job. How is Rocky the bead maker/part time yoga instructor worth 1.5 million? The rest, Whitney, TO, and Josh all worth a cool million also with no professional work in their life. I don’t believe Whitney has ever worked a full time job in her life. She from my research has only worked occasional part time gigs her entire life yet she’s worth a million dollars. Something is very wrong here. I and others have expressed interest in knowing if Amber is behind their sudden windfall of fortune. Curious minds want to know.:). Thank you-
and I think it has come as a body blow to her just how unpopular and unwanted she really is. The more she pursues this the more people do not want to touch her with a bargepole. What she hasn't factored is that with something as big as this has been and as detrimental to so many factions....there will be no redemption.
Please don’t “dismiss” your channel, now that the Depp/Heard case has been settled! Oh NO! You have been an invaluable resource for the way the legal system works! You provided unbiased commentary throughout this case, and made it so much easier for me (the layman) understand all the processes. There are ALWAYS cases out there needing your expertise in the “whys “ and “what fors” of the case. I have soooooo appreciated your insight and thoughts on this case, losing you now would be awful for those of us interested in how our laws and court systems work. Thank you, again, for everything Ms. Burkhart!
Much as I have loved the Heard-Depp commentary, I am very much looking forward to Andrea moving on to new cases. I like her original concept of Depp's ordeal as a "hero's journey"--at the end of which, the hero is supposed to be wiser, and go on to face new adventures, not come back to put in the boot. As a viewer I want to do the same, and leave Amber behind. "Being left behind" is the best fate for her anyway. Also, as a lawyer-viewer, I love best Andrea's courtroom commentary--that is where I learn the most, and where we are getting the direct benefit of her experience. So I hope she soon picks up a new case and starts taking us through arguments and witness examinations.
Agreed 100%!!
The day she released that Statement she lost over 1.3 million followers on insta. Thats it, she's done! I can't see her coming back from her own demise.
Thank you for your breakdown. Amber did not have to use any of her divorce settlement on legal fees apparently. Nor did she donate. The same settlement she would have had without all this nonsense she pulled for all these years. The trial ruined her career which wouldn't have happened if she would have just shut up from the beginning. Her reputation would have been intact and she wouldn't need all this false grandstanding. Yet, she too was a victim of child abuse, like Johnny, lest we forget. See how much it damages people into adulthood? He seems damaged but more tenderhearted for it. She is a sad, damaged person with mental disorders who cannot own up to anything. If her marriage had ended amicably she would have been admired for overcoming her childhood and making it in Hollywood. Instead she created this false abuse narrative and was exposed. What a shame.
I learned lessons from this: how someone can be a bold faced liar and deny any fault; how the mainstream media slants the news; how the law works thanks to UA-camrs like you, and how the Hollywood life style is not one to be envied. Thanks for your time devoted to this.
I have my doubts about whether she was as abused as she claims. If you look into her relationships, she is always claiming that her previous partner abused her to her new partner. I wouldn't be surprised if she also made up childhood abuse stories to garner sympathy, or exploit benevolent sexism when she wanted it. Mostly because she seems to have kept a close relationship with her father over the past decade, constantly socializing with him, appearing in photos with him, praising him. If she was as much of a DV "fighter" as she now claims to be, this behaviour is suspect. Given her propensity for fabrication I just wouldn't be surprised if she was actually the golden child, and Whitney the whipped child in the family dynamic. I have no proof though, it's just speculation. I just take her abuse stories with a huge grain of salt.
This only proves that abuse has no bearing of how much an asshole a person would grow into - only that Heard was already an asshole and would always have been no matter how she was raised
I've also seen commenters and posters of family members with Borderline Personality Disorder, claiming that they're actually not bad. I've come to the conclusion that Personality Disorders are simply descriptive, at most only heightening the amount of assholery already in a person rather than causing any assholery
Fake johnny Depp scammers are asking for money no
I mean, I know Cynthia is a bot, but come on - not only has it been copy-pasting the same reply to multiple comments here, this is also another bot's copy-pasted comment on KrakenTheBox's video from Johnny Depp
@@Necroxion I hope your not suggesting that I am a bot
As much as Amber likes to dictate her defence/her truth I suspect there was a great amount of pressure from her new lawyers and the insurance company to settle. I still find it incredible that her insurance footed the entire bill and she does not pay a dime. I look forward to your future videos and wish you a happy new year.
I agree. And also there was a very good, even probable chance that the finding against Johnny and his lawyer would have been thrown out or overturned. She and her minions have hinged her supposed innocence on that, and her settling now doesn't allow that to happen. I still think the Jury didn't quite understand that part. Amber and her friends did create a scene but the first police came before they could create it.
Shes still under "mega" amounts of litigation...
So shes not done with court yet...
However, shes finally conceded, she cant win against JD....
Hope the others are successful in suing her also
the fact that she still want to make it seem like she had suffer financial lost ..she still make it seem in her statement that she pay when its already out in the public that she did not spend the divorce money on the lawsuit..and the insurance that pay everything is even in legal battle about it..
Agreed. Something very strange about Pamela Johnson’s involvement. Insurance companies will do everything NOT to pay out where possible. Something nefarious there.
What really gets me I'd this criminal liar and abuser gets off Scott free when she only paid the policies for a year or 2. Ive had the same ins co and have a 1,000 deductible because i can't afford a lower deductible. When I had a flood, I had to pay the deductible and had to fight with the ins for a 30k claim. Then I had to pay points for at least 3 years! Why does she get off Scott free???? Makes me sick!
Thanks for your sound and intelligent reviews on this court case. Appreciate the fact that you never turned this into a left vs right issue which AH tried to do. You also did not turn this into a male vs female issue. There are awful people across all spectrums of division. I will continue to follow your legal channel. Happy New Year, Andrea!
Cover the Bill Cosby case! What the prosecutors did was despicable.
@@theloanranger2632 my question with cosby was this why go after the guy 2 plus decades after why not not do him at top of his prime, why wait to do the man close to his death bed???
Thank you, and happy new year to you! 🐟🐟🐟
@Jason howe They did go after him at the time! The district attorney of the local Pennsylvania county used his best investigative resources and did not believe it was possible to criminally prosecute Cosby. The DA decided to use his prosecutorial discretion/power to promise that the state would never prosecute Bill Cosby for the allegations, which meant Cosby could never assert his 5th amendment in a civil lawsuit. Then, years later, a subsequent district attorney made a campaign promise to prosecute Bill Cosby and ignored the promise from the prior DA and used incriminating evidence gathered from Cosby's forced waiver of his 5th amendment.
@@aburkhartlaw #22:22 amber would have fought this till bankruptcy, but let's not forget she's doing this because the insurance company is after her ( you know this better than us ) .
She was forced had she not done this they had a case against her , her lawyers were not paid they would also take her to court and Johnny's settlement would have still been pending.
She looked in the mirror and knew her "looks" ( honestly I don't get all the hype about her looks are about as a guy ) are gone and no one is saving her so she settled, for now .
If I know amber like a crackhead she'll be back .
Andrea, thank you for all that you did to help us understand this case between JD and AH from start to finish. I look forward to your next project. I wish you good health, wealth, and prosperity this new year.
I completely agree with you about the settlement being good for Johnny. One of the things that has been so admirable about him throughout this nightmare is how authentic he has been, his behavior always matching what he has said. He said it wasn't about the money for him and that he did not wish to bankrupt her, that reflected in this settlement. He has said that he just wants to move forward and put this behind him, that is also reflected in this settlement. He has been more generous than necessary, once again, and continues to show that he has never exhibited the behavior that she has accused him of. So much of this case was about whose words were true, whose actions matched, and over and over again Johnny has proved to be that person. Well done, I'm so happy he is able to start the new year free from her once and for all.
What really riles me is that Amber with the help of the main media by clamoring her innocence is still defaming J Depp.
Telling she has been done wrong in court is same as claiming Johnny is a wife beater, and that is continued defamation.
I am mad there is not clause where she has to shut up.
BTW: Thank you for sharing your clear and impartial analysis .
Amber: *Huffing pure copium*
Johnny: *Sipping from a megapint.*
I almost choked on my morning coffee when I read this comment! 😂
🤣😂😅🥤😝
Andrea, I don't know if you are reading these comments, but I have a suggestion for the future. There are a lot of legal myths out there. One being Prenups are ironclad. I have a really good friend that learned this the hard way a while back. He had his tossed by the Judge based on the Allard V Allard caselaw in Michigan. This is an area that most of lawtube ignore.
Yes, please !!! A great suggestion!
Michigan is diabolical when it comes to the family court scams.
See also "dad by default" -- Pure Michigan.
Andrea, you did very well not getting sick over Ambers statement. I mean you could tell the bad taste reading it left in your mouth. Very professional of you. Thank you and Happy New Year!
💰 Fake 💰 johnny 💰 Depp 💰 scammers 💰 are 💰 asking 💰 for 💰 money 💰
I'm really going to miss my Sunday coffee with Andrea! I believe it's normal to feel a bit melancholy about this trial coming to its end! It's similar to reading a great book and savoring that last page! I wish you the happiest of New Years and look forward to seeing what you decide to share with us in the future! On a personal note..... Thank-you for everything you did to help Johhny voice the truth and regain his life!
I love your analogy! And wise of you know that the book is indeed finished but like the spirit of all good books enrich us on our journeys.
I will too!! She is so great.
Absolutely love how you break down these documents for us, you have a very sweet sarcasm that is breath of fresh air. Thank You so much Andrea can't wait to see what you are going to do next,Happy New Year to you and your Family
Sweet sarcasm! So true.
And the odd swear words that pop out are surprising hahaha...she does it well....
Whatever you decide to cover, I'll be watching! The depth and breadth of your legal knowledge and clear explanations of the process are fascinating to me. I already stated that I thought this case was about more - about testing the concept of 'innocent until proven guilty", and you put a heart on it, so I think you feel the same. So...
I have an idea for a show, maybe even a series. With all the malicious litigation that seems to be popping up, could you cover the LAWYERS responsibility to the truth. The SJC Rules of Professional Conduct, the way I have read them, seem to demand that lawyers hold each other to account for breaking those rules - but it is something you hardly ever see happening. Why not? It's not like the 'thin blue line' for cops or medical malpractice where every doctor knows they are going to make a mistake sooner or later. It is an adversarial system that would rather keep the politicians out of it at a national level so I see staying quiet as a net loss for the public, the law in general, and for lawyers themselves. What am I missing? Thank you, Andrea. I hope you get a chance to read this. :)
Excellent idea. Personally I would love and greatly appreciate this when it comes to understanding more.
@@annabambus6572 , thank you Anna - me too!!
Andrea your breakdowns are simply the best here on UA-cam!
Loved how you picked up on the difference between ‘her truth’ and ‘THE truth’! And I really hope your prediction comes true!
Thank you as always for your video and for giving a true legal analysis of this whole situation!
I hope it stays as an expression. People will say "Amber's truth" and you know what they mean
This "settlement" is a MASSIVE face - saving exercise. Her lawyers probably told her that her appeal stands no chance of winning, so it would be in her best interests to drop it and negotiate some sort of settlement with Johnny.
I think she's totally mistaken if she thinks there are no bars to her saying whatever she wants. Since Johnny could haul her backside
back into court if she she continued
to defame him, she has been effectively gagged. I'd be interested to see how things pan out in the coming year!
Right Amber is a sore loser she had no choice but to settle.
Your channel is a light in the darkness. Keep doing this, Andrea. Intelligent with a touch of snark. Always the perfect tone.
Her mainstream financial and political friends abandoned her so it was just a matter of time for her to settle.That's the measure of her self-entitlement:she has always thought to win because all people around her reinforced this.She will survive but it's a colossal loss for the socio-political agenda that was behind her and pushed her and used her (while she was thinking it was the contrary).I am interested in the Marilyn Manson case because it's the same case with different people but same ideological umbrella for the woman involved (presses, movement, socials that reinforce a narrative despite contradictory proofs)
I think this is 100% it
Whatever and Whomever was behind AH realized this was a devastating blow to the women's movement and it's capital potential! JD was suppose to be a Big Fish but the ill intended game back fired big time.
It alerted many people to the extent a women can and will go to perpetuate a false claim
This case was a big loss for the once trusted MeToo or Times Up movements as well as ACLU in addition to Hollywood studios and News outlets
They had to cut her off ~ and I believe the same will happen in the Marilyn Manson case which is the same movie with different players
Not the ACLU…..
I was following this on a couple of other UA-camrs and most in the chat were relieved, we felt that JD won and he just wanted to move on. A few weren’t real happy with it, thought he’d given up too soon but were willing to accept. A couple however, we’re genuinely angry, mad at JD for “letting them down”, that he should have followed through because he was the “spokesperson” for all those men who were also abused. Well heck, I doubt those two would have been happy with anything. Johnny Depp deserves to stop and move on. He’s been harassed long enough.
👏👏 Yes, thank you for saying that.
I am happy JD settled. He already achieved his goal. What's the point of dragging this? I think AH is already suffering consequences with her career and reputation in taters. I am sure this was not the outcome she hoped for when she wrote the OpEd.
I want to thank Andrea for all the work she has done on these smart and easy to digest videos.
You've always stayed objective and avoided any ad hominem attacks. Imo you're the sharpest of the Lawtubers, not to take away from the other great lawyers out there on UA-cam.
So glad this is finally over. Whatever you decide to cover next I'll absolutely check it out.
From crowd sourcing all the unsealed documents to all your fantastic videos.
I hope you know that we all appreciate what you've done.
Thanks again for everything.
Thank you, Andrea. I always have absolute confidence that you will provide a clear but entertaining view. I started following you, and a number of others, during the Depp court ordeal. However, I have continued to follow very few. Your knowledge and insight are truly appreciated. May 2023 be the best year you've ever had!
I agree. I started following several, including Andrea, during the Depp v AH fiasco. I now still follow two. Andrea and A Lawyer You Know. The rest turned into political rock throwers.
Same here
It is not for us to feel let down. I don't think there's much to be gained from dragging this out any further. To my mind, the fact that Amber is doing the sensible thing and dropping the appeal is some kind of miracle! I'm glad it's over, and that Johnny walks away with his reputation restored, I can't ask for better than that.
Your coverage has been amazing Andrea, thank you so much for all the great insight, and I can't wait to see your coverage of the Marilyn Manson trial!
Happy New Year
The insurance companies pulled the plug on Amber. There is no way she would want to settle anything ever. She would have been delighted to keep picking at Johnny through the courts. Once Pamela had been dispatched from Travelers they realised they had already paid way too much for this case and had no intention of continuing to pay out. Give Johnny the one million as mentioned in her policy and put a stop to hemorrhaging money. Travelers and NY marine know they would be spending millions more on cases between themselves and on Amber's pointless but never ending appeals. I think Travelers probably think they would lose against NY marine (or get FA) and also lose the ridiculous appeal by Amber. They had been fecked over and they wanted out, so she had to settle. Johnny wants her gone a long long way from him and to get on in his professional and personal life without this hell. While it's annoying she personally isn't paying anything, she never ever would have, there was never going to be any satisfaction from her paying up. Settling is probably the most annoying outcome for Amber, it's over baby and she doesn't like other people telling her when something is over!! So suck on that Amber.
I agree. I actually hope NY Marine wins their case against AH and Travelers gets stuck with the whole bill for their reckless support of this liar.
Fake johnny Depp scammers are asking for money no real numbers for charties and no real meet and greet..try calling management company .they don't exist online
@@kaileim970 I would imagine they have settled too, and probably more in favour of NY marine. But they both needed to stop bleeding money on lawyers and more litigation.
@@roseharvey2664 why do you imagine they have settled their case? It has nothing to do with the Depp/Heard monetary settlement. It is completely separate. I would imagine Travelers still wants NY Marine to share the $8+ million dollars they spent on her defense and appeal plus the $1 million in settlement.
I’ve really enjoyed your commentary and will continue to follow you. You’ve been my most trusted source of information during the Depp-Heard debacle. I’ve learned a lot! Thanks!
Yes, Andrea, it is a good thing that this fiasco is over. Thanks so much for your insight, and knowledge. Happy New Year!
You are right, I didn't notice that she switched "my truth" with "the truth" when she legally had to. Thank you for all your contribution. Can't help to notice you are looking so pretty ans happy today Andrea! I interpret it like a good omen for the year yo come. Happy New Year to all you awesome people out there.
She does look pretty!
@@micheledematteis2072 she really is. I usually don't comment on the physique, but objectively she has a glowing cuteness about her only happyness, pregnancy or very expensive pills would give to women

Ah ha ha ha, I love you, Andrea ... "Johnny already had the right for her to shut the f*ck up..."
Say it straight
So the 7 million she couldn’t ‘donate’ due to the case, where’s that? Because her insurers paid her legal fees and her insurers are paying the £1 million settlement so where is the £7million? ?
Happy New Year, Andrea and Everyone! So glad that my first video is coming from you! This is going to be a very interesting year, I just have a feeling. But let's try to rest and recuperate as much as possible before the next election year begins.
As far as Amber not suffering any consequences from the fallout of the defamation lawsuit...she's lost her reputation as an actress, for sure. I doubt anyone in Hollywood is lining up to cast her in their next movie - or off-Broadway play producers either, for that matter.
Congratulations Johnny! And all the best to you, Andrea! I can't wait to see what you're going to do next. It's going to be an interesting year legally. The Sara Boone suitcase murder is coming up out of Florida. There's a lot of interest there. The LYK, Peter Tragos, just did a poll about what cases his viewers were interested in for the coming year, and this was close to the top.
She might agree to do a XXX movie, they would definitely want to hire her
Idaho murders was number 1.
This video is my first one of 2023 because I love hearing from Andrea!
The Courtney Clenney trial is the one I'm interested in. I see the similarities that could have been if AH had un-lifed JD.
@@grandmapof3 I am a big fan of all the creative euphemisms that folks are coming up with for "dead," "death," etc. Yours included 😀 😄 😉
I agree this is the best outcome for Johnny. This would have tied him up and he just wants to move on. Thank you Andrea for all your coverage on this case. I always looked forward to your breakdown and I look forward to what you cover in the future.
Can't wait to hear more about the Marilyn Manson cases from you, Andrea. I hope you are interested in Manson's rights as much as you are interested in Johnny's rights. You are such a good commentator and you give so much reliable insight in your videos.
Thank you, Andrea! I appreciated your clear and concise explanations of the briefs. Many legal and other channels simply read them with little or no explanation. Your gave sound analysis that was so helpful in understanding the law in this case. ⭐️
As long as you are making videos, I'll be interested in your take. Regardless of the subject matter!
Thank you so much Andrea! I can’t express how much I’ve learned from watching you during the Depp trial. I look forward to enjoying your insight on future cases. I’d love to see you follow Manson as well as Courtney Clenney. But whatever you do I’ll be there watching and learning . Thanks again!
Happy New Year 🎉🎉 Thank you for your clear explanation. ❤️
Love your comment about her not making any admission of guilt! "Neither did OJ or Casey Anthony. The jury has done that for you." Lol
Thankyou Andrea - I always have to seek out your perspective.
I like your mind but combined with your morals - amazing
I look forward to seeing you explain more, as in depth as you have been, for different cases moving forward. Thank you for all your hard work.
I hope you keep on giving us legal reviews....I love your channel and your analysis.
Happy new year, Andrea. Been waiting for your pearls of wisdom breakdown. Phew!! Glad to hear you breakdown her (and her lawyers who would have cleared it to avoid further defamation) spin. More content please 🇬🇧
I have enjoyed your POV Over the last several months. Thank you so much for your time and energy in providing these videos.
Good analysis and a fitting close to this saga. I suggest 3 factors motivated Heard to settle ; she's running out of resources to continue "her fight," she's faced so much public ridicule that she doesn't want to deal with it anymore and, so long as she continues she won't be able to return to her career and make money.
given the choice between continuing to be 'a public figure representing domestic abuse' fighting her case for all survivors - and having $9 million dollars written off her debt, she chose to save her own skin.
It's always such a joy to hear you break everything down Andrea. Thanks for all you do! ❤️. Happy New Year 🥂🎊🥂🎉🥂
You Rock Andrea! I love the way you explain the law to be clear and concise even when it seems not to be. You are intelligent, caring and precise! Can't wait to see what's next!
Your videos were always the ones that I looked forward to the most! Thanks, and I look forward to whatever you cover next!
Thank you for this video and all the other videos you shared with us during this trial, you certainly helped me understand the legal process of it all from beginning to end and I appreciate that whole heartily.
I’m happy AH finally threw in the towel and JD is free from her and can move on and enjoy life with his family & friends, he most certainly deserve that
So thanks again for all the legal information and for sharing your expertise with us, I know I learned a lot and I was grateful for that..
Happy New Year to you and your family!!
You have such a clear eyed and calm approach to things. I wish you could even veer over into other screaming matches going on and just give your take!
Thx Andrea. Your insight is greatly appreciated. Wishing everyone a safe, happy, healthy 2023.
Excellent commentary & sentiment towards Mr Depp - you made me smile & I sincerely hope he is smiling too. Although I've never taken it to court, I have been severely abused & all I wanted to do was escape - I did, changing everything in my life. It takes time, never leaves you & often haunts you but smiling again is possible.
I look forward to what your channel brings to us this coming year & wish you & all your viewers a healthy & happy new year 🎉 xXxXx
Thanks Andrea! Can’t wait to see what you cover on your channel moving forward. Manson sounds great, the Boone/suitcase murder, Idaho4?
Goodbye AH. The legal phrase used by AB, ‘shut the f**k up’. 😂
Love your analysis. Happy 2023 and please, yes, other legal cases!
Thanks Andrea! Your analysis of Depp v Heard has been awesome. I’m looking forward to following your thoughts on other cases… but for now I’ll just let you know that you’re appreciated. Thanks again.
I always await your commentary and I'm never disappointed
Thank you so much for your time on this entire case,you’ve made it so concise, I look forward to see many cases through your site 💐🤩
"With great power, comes great responsibility"
Amber does not have the responsibility
And she's lost the "great" power
Did she, though!? She has yet to be held accountable for her actions and has yet to really have any consequences from her behaviors.
@lilianna longfellow Any legal ramifications, yes
But in the court of Public opinion.
Not so much
I'm interested in the case of Jared Leisek, the founder of Adventures With Purpose (AWP). He has been charged with SA against a family member, which allegedly happened in the 90s, when he was a teenager and the child was 9. This is a cause and a UA-cam channel I supported financially, because I really saw the value of what they do. (They use specialized equipment and diving skills to find people who have been missing for years and were thought to have wound up underwater in their vehicles for various reasons. AWP doesn't charge families or law enforcement for their services, but finding long lost loved ones brings closure to the families.) Unsurprisingly, so much mixed information and opinions being flung around, the entire operation in disarray, allegations of improper use of donations, wildly conflicting stories, and some very strange email messages back and forth between Leisek and his alleged victim that hints at a large family dysfunction where the SA was basically more widespread throughout the family and an accepted activity he claims to have broken the cycle of for himself and his family. There was a court hearing in November that was stopped abruptly when it was found that a UA-camr was illegally streaming live from the proceedings. I'm very interested in this case because I was monetarily supporting the organization, believing in the good it was doing, but of course all of this started a side sh%t storm of rumors about the organization, what's happening with money and donations, who is in charge, etc., so I temporarily suspended my financial support. Because ... wtf? 🤷🏻♀️ I'll be following the case and would love to hear your commentary as this goes on.
His back and forth emails with the young woman admit he'd done those things. It's pretty damning
Thank you Andrea for all your beautiful sharp wisdom, clarity and depth. It's been an awesome journey and continue to subscribe to this channel for interesting case law and easy to understand interpretation on the law.
Thank you so much Andrea! I’ve come to your commentary time and time again as it was the most truthful and reliable. Happy New Year!
That disgusting UK judge needs to be hauled out of retirement and jailed for corruption.
So glad to hear, your breakdown, thank you !!
Thank you for your commentary and thoughts throughout about this case - I also appreciate that you weren't annoying in personality!!! You have been imformative, pleasant and smart!! This case will be missed for sure - sad to see it done (hopefully done) but so so glad for him! Congrats Johnny but I still don't belive we have Heard the last from Heard! That mouth just can't stay shut!
Heard will talk thru her flying monkeys,and have done it for a long time already

Happy New year Andrea, I've been waiting for your take on this. Thank you for everything you do to explain the legal side of things.
Thank you for helping us understand this court stuff!❤
I love the deep dives, I'm very happy you are going to continue to do those!! You're coverage of this case has been outstanding!! Thanks for everything!
I think we all know that a narcissistic person like that will never apologize or admit to what they have done. They will never take responsibility for their actions. All the care about is their image and money. They do not have empathy for anyone. I'm sure most of us have someone like that or has had someone like that in our lives. She's just one of them. It's no surprise she will never ever admit to her lies deceptions and abusive behavior.
Please keep putting your thoughts out there. You are a very smart and experienced person, and you articulate that very well.
My theory is that Amber realized she had no chance of winning her appeal after watching Andrea tear her various appeals briefs to shreds.
I don't think she would back off on her own as long as her insurance would have footed the bill. I bet insurance and her lawyers slap some sense into her. Can't see any statements from her lawyers, that says a lot .

I’m so glad this is over for Johnny. Her abuse is enough and I hope he is happy. Thank you Andrea, I enjoy how through you have been in explaining the law for us law-challenged individuals. I hope you can find an interesting case for us all to follow again. ❤
Sorry to be frivolous and out of topic. But I really liked your grey hairs here and there. We never get to see good looking women aging naturally. It looks great dyed too, though!
Yup, love the new look as well, and do what you want to do, and apologies for making such personal comments, but I, too, liked the few grey hairs, especially since it's so unusual to see. I read a great article of a woman who, older, stopped dying her hair after oh, 20 years, and she said the hardest part wasn't so much the slow ugly transformation back to grey, but the fact that she could no longer use her hairdresser as a pick-me-up. No more: I've been feeling blah these days, so why not, give me something a little different today! So interesting for me, a bald man, although I could dye my beard I suppose, but that always looks awful.
When someone lies they say “my” truth. When someone is being honest they say “THE” truth.
Her whole statement was AH gas lighting the world. A way to try and spin the truth. Her desperation to try to make the world believe she told the truth and she was the victim. If she had any chance to win she would never had settled.
I love your channel and how thorough you are in your videos. The facts, insights, opinion and tone is a great reason to watch. You make things easy to understand and entertaining. But can we take a moment for the moment you said regarding JD’s NDA and his right to have AH shut the “f” up!😳 That was unexpected but gratifying to hear you say that. It certainly captures the weight and frustration of AH once again demanding certain actions fromJD and his team but not at all following legal restrictions regarding anything herself. Hearing you say that made me like you a little bit more than I already do. If that’s possible, lol! Great video as always! Thank you for all the hard work you put into them for us!
Thank you Andrea. I’m very much looking forward to your analyses of future cases.
Dear Andrea, your commentaries have truly been found treasure in the midst of all the media madness. Your discussions have been wonderfully informative and entertaining. I look forward to see where you focus next. It's also gratifying to see things winding up in ways that overwhelmingly favors Johnny Depp and put the lying, extortionist golddigger Amber Heard in her place. 😂
My greatest concern is that Depp seems to have given away most of his leverage over Heard, certainly if you accept her version of the settlement. It feels very much like one-sided disarmament, at a point where he essentially had Heard on the ropes.
I suppose you could compare it to the scene with the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where king Arthur graciously offers a draw when his opponent refuses to surrender after losing both arms and legs. However, unlike the Black Knight I don't think Heard will ever be fully disarmed: she will keep crossing the line unless she is swatted down every single time. Like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, she will keep testing the electric fences, and at the first hint that the power is down she will break out of her enclosure and go on a rampage again.
I hope Andrea is right and this is just a face-saving last gasp. Personally, I think this is just the prelude to the extended pity-party stage of Heard's career.
Thank you for your insightful and well-reasoned analyses of the topics you have covered this year. I have learned a lot about the law from you; your delivery of the material is so informative and entertaining. I look forward to following you in the coming year, which I hope will be a happy and productive one for you.

She doesn't think that rules and law's apply to her. She has shown that over and over. So there is no point in trying to get her to sign an nda.
Your site has been my 'go to' to always get an in depth knowledgeable, and understandable legal analysis of the Depp/Heard case. Thank you!
Thank you for all your hard work and explanation on this case. You really broke things down in a genuine way, and I appreciate that. Can't wait to see what else you over. I would like to suggest George Anthony vs. Casey Anthony defamation case. I would love to hear your thoughts on that.
Happy New Year and thank you Andrea! I really like your breakdowns, very concise and easy to follow. I am watching Vallow/Daybell, Courtney Clenney, Murdaugh, SBF and The Idaho 4. Anything you cover I'll watch tho.
Happy 2023 Andrea. So looking forward to you analyzing other cases. Love your channel. Peace.
Andrea, I thoroughly enjoyed every one of your insightful presentations on this case. Clear, filled with subtle humor and even grace. I hope you continue to take on cases and explain the ins and outs to us in the year and probably years ahead. Cases that touch the heart would fit I think.
You look stunning as usual - happy new year
Sure does. 🥰

Putting aside Depp & Heard I have been fascinated by the insights that I've gained into the American (and partly British) legal system and I was actually looking forward to the appeals outcome and the insurers fight. I came to your channel later in the saga but I've particularly enjoyed your reporting and analysis.
I don't think she's throwing in the towel at all. I think she's drawing a line in order to regroup and get ready to launch a new attack line. And she still has $6.5m to do it, in addition to a largely still-compliant media and various factions. All that's happened here is she's made a calculation that the court process would be expensive and wouldn't yield bang-for-buck. She's not done. Her psychopathy won't let her be done. Her yoked cash cow broke its tether and made her look bad, and she can't stand it.
Agree with you,because I know how psycopaths acts personally unfortunatly :( Be aware og her flying monkeys! She speaks thru them now.
Happy New Year! I look forward to whatever you decide to cover next, especially since there is so much legal issues in the world. I would love to hear more about cases/people you defend.♥
Andrea glad to hear you will be looking at the Marilyn Manson case. I am wondering with your criminal law background if you would be willing to cover the Moscow Idaho murder trial as it unfolds ? As a fellow Washington state resident this case is very close to home as 2 if my family members are former graduates of WSU and UI.
Thank you, Andrea, for your insights and breakdown of the legal processes. I have learned a lot from your channel. ❤️🤗👍 From the outset of the litigation, it seemed to me that Johnny was being dragged down by it. Amber, on the other hand, seemed to flourish when she thought "her truth" was keeping her in the limelight. Thank you for pointing out the "my Truth" to "the Truth"! If she learned only that, it was a good outcome. As JD said on the stand, he will wear the stigma of her allegations for the rest of his life, no matter the outcome of the trial. The Jury gave him his life back, and now he's moving on. Amber is stuck in the past trying to get more and more from JD.
I’m sure I’m not alone in hoping her insurance companies carry on with their own cases, isn’t it fraud to take out insurance KNOWING you’re going to write something actionable in the near future, I’m sure I wouldn’t get away with taking out insurance against fire damage then setting fire to my house! I feel for the people who will have huge increases in the cost of their insurance policies to cover the massive loss they’ll have taken in the cost of defending her.
I agree. If I had insurance with both of the companies that she had policies with, I’d be finding coverage elsewhere.
It's likely she didn't think it would be actionable as Depp was always a private person

Except for her reputation, AH walks away unscathed - maybe she's liability uninsurable. Still able to spend JD's black widow divorce payout. Who will be her next victim?
