The Uk trial needs to be overturned
I love, admire and respect Johnny Depp, no man could live like that except an exceptional man…Johnny Depp, who stood up against wrong behaviour and abuse in many forms. 🙏❤️🌹🌹🌹

@linda Great comment! 👍👍
@@lauraaston6946❓❓❓
@@lauraaston6946So your only comment on this channel is to insult a commentator?? 😱
Jonny has his livelihood, as well as his reputation affected. He put his self on the line to get vindication.
Its not courage at all. Courage is saying Amber lied and dealing with the lawsuit regardless. Thats courage.
I 💯 agree Dan Wootton showed no courage at all, would he even have given this sham of an apology if he hadn't gone through his own trial by media, I think not.
@@SassyNetta62 i agree or he would have apologized sooner
Well said Daniel. Johnny Depp allowed so many men to heal from their own abusers who are Narcissists like Amber Heard and what she did to Johnny Depp. Forever grateful to him for doing that.
At the end of the day…Johnny suffered, not one of us., we just looked on in horror but hate goes nowhere🙏❤️🌹🌹🌹
Wootens apology is meghamesk word salad. A lot of words signifying nothing. Johnny Depp is the hero who stood up for justice.
He wants to get to the American media. He cannot be trusted. There is still something listed with the police in the UK! He is sly.
Depp deserves justice for what Amber Heard did to him.
Imo she should be convicted for DV.
I just wish he wasn't so friendly and protective over his favourite director who escaped from a terrible child SA conviction in the US hiding out in Europe.
You aren’t particularly articulate either. People in glass houses…
@@flowerjpotter1629 Roman Palanski is hardly his favorite director! You know nothing about JD!
Why do you have to bring Meghan into this? Obsessed much 🙄
I am an American. It is never too late to apologize & it does take courage. That apology was pathetic. The win for Johnny helped women everywhere. Abusers are all alike; women are told that if we leave no one will believe us. The husband to a certain generation of women may have control over the funds it takes to leave. This verdict proved to every terrified woman that she does not have to be rich, she does not need the abuse on video. This showed that juries and Courts are willing to listen, and they will use their common sense. It was a win for all who have been abused. Dan Wooton owed us a better apology. He does not get grace yet for this.
Very well said. 👏👏👏
That's Dan Wooton saying...look, I was accused of something by an ex that I am innocent of....just like Johnny was.
That sums it up perfectly.
🎯 You see right through that scxmbag.
I'm glad Johny got his redemption and Ms Turd got her comeuppance so publicly.
Now where's my mega pint 🍺😂
Graham Linehan (wrote ‘Father Ted’) arguably had a similar experience in my opinion.
He very publicly denied that cancel culture existed and poured scorn on people who claimed it did…
…until he got cancelled himself.
I'm glad Johnny had a great team of lawyers though
Yes!
Absolutely! What a psycho she is.
Agree Missy . I think Amber was a real piece of work . Dan got conned into believing Amber just like Amber conned Johnny Depp , at the begining .
….and he was vindicated, absolutely and undeniably
The TIMING of his apology begs the question .. why now, when he’s re-launching himself - and not when Johnny was vindicated? Hmm ..
Why can't an apology just be an apology. It is up to Johnny Depp if he chooses to accept it - NOT the public.
It has to actually be an apology to be an apology. Something like: "I sincerely apologise to Johnny Depp for calling him a wife beater. I was wrong because I didn't do any due diligence; I simply believed Amber Turd without investigating her claims further. I acknowledge Mr Depp's reputation was damaged as a consequence and, for that, I am very sorry".
It is an apology. It more about him and his problems
Dan Wooton is only grovelling now because he got cancelled and is trying to come back and uncancel himself. He still hasn't apologised. That was a non apology and it solves nothing! He's very disingenuous and needs to write the same amount of articles he did, when he was defaming Johnny, with an actual apology, detailing how he was deceived by Amber heard. Until he does that, he shall remained cancelled and we refuse to tolerate Dan Wooton in the public space!
It is not an apology, it is a covering his ass from being sued by JD bc now he has to speak the truth… but not completely.
Wooten is trash news. He will trash anyone for money and never take it back.
I don't believe for one 2nd that Wootton was deceived by AH.
They're birds of a feather
Both scum
“Courage” ?!?!? Hello? all these lies was Dan’s doing…nobody FORCED Dan to lie about Johnny for 6 years. Dan can NEVER EVER say Amber is an abuser because hIs hAndS aRe TieD..but his hands are not tied when accusing Johnny for 6 years
Fully agree!
🎯 DW is an abuser himself!
I still think DW is slimey. 🐌
Yeah and where's Caroline flacks apology, well her family's apology as she is no longer here to receive one just because he took all the nasty crap off the net doesn't mean we have forgotten what he did, her ex went to jail as he blamed wooden for the abuse he gave her
Stop attributing his sorry excuse for an apology to Wootton having 'courage'. The only reason he's even hinting at an apology is because he is trying to generate followers for his new show & re-invent himself after his latest scandal. End of story. This is purely a business decision & it is clear that Dan Wootton does not feel a single iota of remorse or regret for his very active role in destroying the lives of others, including JD. Wootton delights in it. I'm pleased to see so many ppl are able to see straight through this charade.
He prefaced the 'apology' with "I don't want to upset Amber". WTF???
It doesn’t seem like courage when he’s damaged someone so badly. It seems more like a bit of humility at best, as well as good for business.
@@marblehead2500 Absolutely!
@@marilou676 He's a little AH sycophant hedging his bets. I do not know why Megyn Kelly has aligned herself with him.
It’s for Johnny to decide🙏❤️🌹🌹🌹
True that, but we don't buy it, thou.
Public opinions also matter, especially the ones who believe in justice. ✊
Dan Wootton doesn't sound like he was admitting he was wrong about Johnny Depp, he said he was sorry to Johnny for getting involved, two entirely different things. He sounded like he still believed Johnny was the abuser, but he should have kept his nose out of the accusations made by Amber. It wasn't enough, and most Depp fans don't accept it.
Wotton needs to apologise properly no matter what the consequences are. He was quick enough to splash it all over the front page of the sun so should be quick enough & man enough to give a straightforward honest & sincere apology not word salad meaning Jack all. JD lost 2 very high profile & high paying job because of his article & he's never going to get them back & people will never forget the front page or the court case & in some peoples minds because of both JD will always be regarded as a wife beater regardless of the US verdict. JD has lost so much,not only in money terms but more importantly in respect & reputation & deserves a newspaper full front page apology from Wotton. Like for like.
Beautifully said! I believe free speech can be all things, but most importantly kind, respectful, forgiving, loving... Thank you!
He should also apologize to Pr William re affair -- probably not true, but if it was, it was none of his business...
Absolutely
That was a lie concocted by the Sussex and their squad
I agree. I was in a very abusive narcissistic relationship for 20+ years. When i left fearing my life, there were many of his family and our friends who sided with him. Im very happily married now. But if any of those people offered an apology, because they now know they made the wrong choice at that time, then i would accept it and move on. As you say, there is far too much nastiness in this world to dwell on the past and argue until you are blue in the face, making you upset and unhappy. It is much better for you and everyone else to just move on. Draw a line in the sand. Live life & be happy! Im sure Johnny is 🥰💯😘🏴🇬🇧
❤❤❤
Wooten is just trying to cash in on a connection to Johnny. He could have apologised when Johnny won the court case in Virginia.
He got cancelled & now he is trying to nullify that, I don't believe he is sincere.
He isn’t.
DW should be more worried about karma... what kind of person creates and encouraged hate and anger? Especially without definitive truth...
Shame on him!!
Journalists, hired to get viewership.
Exactly!
I think DW’s Karma was the accusations coming his way
The question in my mind is whether wooten has changed his type of reporting away from mean spirited sniping sensational criticisms. If not the apology carries little weight.
He doesn't seem to have changed, you should watch him with Meghan Kelly going on about Catherine, the POW.
He still is a gossip teller,starting rumours that he pushes .until that person feels pressure to speak out
He did not apologise to Johnny for what he did. He could have even said "i acted based on the information i was given by Ambers side" i would have acceoted even that, but no, he blamed Johnny AGAIN, and the apologised to Amber Turd.
Sorry hes not honest or genuine. It doesnt take courage to pull a PR stunt.
I heard the video and I think it's not a sincere public apology to Johnny Depp. This is my personal view hearing what and how Dan Wootton said it.
It was very half-assed.
Dan Wootton did not need to say AH participated in the UK trial so she would have a better chance in the US trial.
AH had not written the hit piece against JD yet. He also didn’t need to throw JK Rowling under the bus. All unnecessary distraction.
One of the worst apologies ever.
DW is an opportunist.
We do not live in an age of forgiveness.
Because people speak * too irresponsibly? Lack of respect for Boundaries.... Game on /open season to vie for topspot, power, dominance.??? So sad.
Sadly, forgiveness has always been hard to ask for and hard to be given and it takes a strong, humble person to do either!
I think Johnny Depp is one of those men of strength and humility as he showed in his trial!
May we follow his example.
@@eshiestrik2756 I think you may well be right about Johnny Depp. Both men have had a tough time. But it's really all the other people piling in that trouble me.
@@BlueInk912 Age of Greed and No Consequences.
BBB, Spot on ! Good afternoon from the U.S.A.
In my opinion this is not about JD this is about trying to save himself & gain favour in his own troubles. Dan is not a victim. He tried to ruin JD’s life in every way possible. He was an integral part in trying to fan the fires 🔥 He worsened JD’s trauma & ab*se by his own actions that were NOT part of his job. It was personal. Dan is NO Victim. Dan is a bully & is reaping what he sowed & doesn’t like being on that side of it now. Dan needs to have consequences for the ab*ses he has perpetrated on others. As someone who has been through DV SA etc. I don’t feel Dan is Genuine in any part of this so called apology.
Thank you for your sage response to the apology. It takes a lot of humility and life experience to apologize.
Really but does he mean it? Doubt it would be like Hapless apologizing to his family and country only doing it for his own benefit what was said can't be taken back
It doesn't matter if he really means it or not. He did it, he apologised. He is not in a relationship with JD!
@@ShalimarPicasso His apology is not real he's a chancer nasty piece of work
I share your sentiment and believe going forward, time will prove or disprove the genuineness and sincerity of Dan Wooten's apologies to Johnny Depp.
Thank you Barrister for mentioning the subscribe button as I didn't see that I was unsubscribed. Everything is now back in place as it should be!!
Johnny Depp doesn't need Hollywood. They need him, but it's probably too late.
I think a lot of people were taken in by AH plus people tend to only think that it is the male party that is always guilty when that is not always the case. Now Dan Wootton understands what it is like to have an ex causing problems. Whilst the apology won't change anything, it is admirable that Dan has put his hands up and said that he was wrong and apologised.
Personally, I don't think that Johnny Depp employed the best legal team in Britain either - certainly not on a par with his team in America.
I know from experience what it is like to have an extremely toxic (now ex thankfully) husband who was all sweetness and light in public but behind closed doors he was totally different. It took me a long time to get away from him, he still has some of my stuff but I have replaced my entire record collection with CDs and I am happy living alone and trusting very few people. Friends have made attempts to match make but I am just not interested because I am not putting myself through that again.
I do wonder if Johnny Depp was the victim of the instruction in England and Wales that anyone alleging sexual assault must be believed. Obviously that is for criminal cases but perhaps the judge was influenced. This has done enormous harm, I believe, to the legal system.
Um Dan the coward Wootton didn’t apologise to JD he apologised for “being caught up” in AH story that’s not an apology! And until he does apologise he will always be a coward in my eyes!
@denise Bon courage!
Media people dont learn. They keep doing it. I never look kindly on these " apologies" - its all to make themselves look better
He was willing to put his reputation on the line with the court case because Dan had already taken his reputation from him.
Until Dan can formerly apologize to Johnny Depp property as he should. I don't believe anything he says.
Dan stood with the wrong person.
Yes, Johnny did things in his past but he never abused Amber the trail proved that as well as proving that Amber lied.
I stood with Johnny Depp and still do always will.
Even after the Virginia trial, Dan was still saying JD can’t overturn the UK verdict & he’s still a WB in the eyes of the law. The man can’t suddenly pretend he didn’t try to crucify JD .
I agree 100% with everything you've said Dan. There is far too much hate and anger in this world and not enough forgiveness...
And he was part of it. When the same happened to him he didn't like it.
How does "not forgetting" nor completely forgiving a person become a grudge? If I learn and follow the proverb, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me", am I holding onto a grudge because I believe the same person continues with the same character and I don't want to be: hurt, embarrassed, physically harmed, stolen from, etc., etc.?
I listen to both of your platforms and I must say that I have the utmost respect for your legal explanations and your personal opinions. It is our good fortune that you are willing to explain and express the way you do. Thank you
Dan put out the apology. How people receive it, is up to them. Especially Johnny Depp. I am glad to see that there are still people out there, learning from their mistakes and atoning for them. Let's see how Dan responds next time such a situation arises. It takes tremendous courage to be honest with oneself and then fess up to it in public. Fair play to Dan and we'll explained by you.
Very well said. I agree.
I'll tell how I received that non-apology. It was not an apology, especially when he prefaced it with "I don't want to upset Amber". Wootton has learned nothing other than self-preservation. He takes us for fools when he says this is an apology. He is looking at redeeming his career, especially as it will now rely on online audiences. He needs subscribers, he needs clicks, he needs advertising income.
Dan Wooten had his "come to Jesus" moment when his own ex made what apparently were false but crazy accusations against him. It makes his "apology" even less sincere sounding to me and I'm not sorry for him having to now try to rebuild his own career. On the other hand, I've rarely seen the kind of courage as was displayed by Johnny Depp in laying his whole life bare, the good and the bad and allowing it to be televised. I think he helped countless people recognize and hopefully do something about their own toxic relationships.
I do not hate Dan Wootton, I just don't want to see or listen to him! 8:31 I have always been Team Johnny! He has gone through so much and Wootton has his share in it!
I'm sorry but Dan Wootton is not honest. I don't trust him at all since the begining.
Me either.
Agree 💯
Here's how to do it: contact JD, say 'I apologise', don't expect an acceptance or gratitude, simply leave it at that!
No need to be public, we were not involved, merely an audience with our own views, a possible outcome though unlikely, is that Johnny might have told the public at a later date, they call this action, humbling oneself!
So, move on, sort your life out, we Do not need to know, it's between you and Johnny, not us, the end.😊
It’s easy to say I forgive but you never forget, and no relationship will recover from that, I cay relate to it .
It's sad that it took Dan Wooton the experience he has recently had to reflect on his own behaviour. I haven't heard the apology, but I did hear him speak a bit on Wooton Outspoken, and I turned away. It is difficult to take in someone's apology when that person then moves on and goes into full attack mode on somebody else. That's incomprehensible to me and makes me not like that person. Yet that doesn't mean his apology wasn't genuine.
Surely a real apology doesn't have caveats attached to it.
Peace, no. Clarity, yes. I understand why Dan's apology was crafted as it was, but, ok I still find it lame. I get it.
Brilliant reporting, always like to hear your common sense. ❤❤❤❤
Also popcorn planet covered this isn't Dan's first time piling on in error and having to apologize on Meghan Kelly's show.
It wasn't really apology he needs to be more humble and sincere he also needs to apologise to Prince William and Princess Catherine he was one of them that ran with the sugars he was once pro h and tow before he got Marckel like P Morgan
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
What about Dan Wooton perpetuating the crass and vulgar lies of Prince William . I only heard of this yesterday and I’m still shocked that he pushed this scandal. I think differently now. I supported him since his dismissal but I didn’t know about this.
The only reason Wooten wasn’t crucified in the court of public opinion entirely is because of Johnny. The world became acutely aware of the ease with which some people lie and accuse. As a result Dan could even protest his own situation and it was met with some fertile ground.
Bandwagon jumping sometimes backfires. Remember that people. Stop believing everything you hear but wait a while to get a better picture.
Why doesn't Dan Wootton print a retraction about all the false claims about Johnny?
I've just had to distance myself from a crazy situation that's al kicked off with a supposed friend. They are going through court proceedings and told me last year some of the ins and outs of it. Its horrendous. I only talked with my partner about it as told was ok by the other person. That's it. One of their kids confided in one of mine at school as they were good friends. A number of times. And after their kid was upset about something they discussed, they apparently went home upset. After speaking to the parents the one who informed me of the situation utterly lambasted me screaming at me over the phone that i must of told my child about the court case and i was destroying their life. I said at once that no, in fact THEIR child started to talk to mine ages ago about this. Even told them details I didn't know about. But this went doen like a lead balloon ad none of them had a clue it seems. More anger and then claims I was lying... How dare destroy their life... Even gone to school to purpotrate me as the one at fault and other things... Now I'm not only wondering what on earth is playing out but because they did this after promising to pay me all the money they owe and now blocking us and not paying me any of what's agreed I am left wondering also did they do this strategically. I've tried to rectify it and to no avail and the school rep advised me to cut my losses and seriously consider if they were actually ever our friends in the first place. It's more in depth than this but you get the idea. So yes, I know how anger and upset can affect and plague people. But keeping hold is not the answer. We have to cut our losses and move on. Sad as hell, but it is simply the truth. Vengeance usually solves nothing x
Hi from Texas! You shouldn't be surprised that a fellow barrister went back looking for a tweet that supports his thoughts and beliefs. I'm a big fan of Johnny Depp and I don't think Mr. Depp gives a flying fig whether or not Mr. Wootton apologizes.
People are simply far too angry about everything, and that anger and misery will eat you you alive, while accomplishing nothing else.
I feel that DW is utterly hypocritical and insincere. I don't believe for a single second that he is genuinely sorry. That being said, the apology is not for me, so it is not my place to decide how genuine it is and if it should be accepted. The only person who can do that is JD.
You can't be sorry without saying you were wrong. Well oh he can't say she lied because he might get sued isn't a good reason. It takes REAL COURAGE to say she lied even knowing your going to get sued. HE ISN'T.
He didn't apologize to Johnny. He basically said he regrets getting involved & because he doesn't want AH & her stans going after him he sounded like he waz still supporting her.
Taking credit for the article except what he waz sued for which waz the headline same as AH.
Daniel I could never imagine you vent your anger your heart is pure and full of positive thoughts and empathy God bless you and your family
The apology was called for but falls short of repairing the damage caused to Johnny's reputation.
Dan was quick to 'try' Johnny via the media on the say so of AH before and after the UK case.
He used his platform to perpetuate a story that was untrue.
He now wants to restore his reputation but I feel he has lost his credibility & integrity.
Once someone makes an apology they're doing it to take a step forward. He just needs to take those steps of redemption...one step at at a time.
#Mentoo - To me it's not an apology - he is defending AH still. He is not taking accountability for everything that He himself took action on to write in the SUN. Despicable things that wasn't facts. An apology must be sincere not apologetic towards, in this case AH. He is saying that he has been thinking of this because he has been through it as well....never compare your feelings with somebody else's. JD is still going through the BS from certain people, so that would be since 2016, if I'm counting right. Dan loves to talk bs about others without any facts. To hurt other people with lies, is exactly what he is doing. Michael Jackson, J K Rowling etc. I don't believe that he understand the severe damage he has caused. He is talking about the UK trial, which he is the reason for, but excuses that with AH testimony, just some word salad is what I can hear. If he would make a written sincere apology for everything that he wrote/did to JD that would be more worthy, to me. To hate someone that you don't know personally is not rational. To hate takes so much energy from things you could do instead. I dislike Dan for what he has shown that he is. A coward, a liar, a bully, has no empathy & he doesn't do his homework before he talks/writes = bad journalist. My opinion. Thanx Daniel for expressing it so thoughtful & wise & for sharing this.❤
We live in a crazy society, we look for the bad and wallow in it, the bitterness and anger will not let go of you, the weight of it just burdens you down. Forgiveness is to free you and not the person. It is not easy to do this but so worth it.
I really enjoy listening to you because you have always struck me as someone who has a very even keel, someone who is calm and sees both sides of the story (and get beyond the nonsense). I just wanted to say thank you for that. I find so much of what is online to be toxic and your calm presence and good sense are truly appreciated. x
It was so good to see Johnny get a fair result in the American court. As for his apology it may have been right but I have heard his apology twice now on two separate occasions and neither of them sounded very sincere.
👍
If Dan had cut that apology in half it might look more genuine. There was too much r's covering in it to make it feel genuine for me.
The best and most sincere apologies are given in private.
He may have done that also but we won’t know.
What I was taught. Guiding force in my life. Don't ever do anything in life that you have to apologize for. What turned me against Dan Wooten. He stated. I tell the truth. I'm not angry of flustered. I step watch the person destroy themselves. People don't realize. They are the one's who is hurting themselves.
Dan should not have attempted to issue an apology-it was so weak, it just made things worse.
6:15 exactly Dan Wootton didn’t say in his non apology apology that if he could revisit the past he would not have printed anything related to JD AH JKR. Megyn Kelly failed in her journalistic duty so I hope you address this point.
I didn't much follow Depp's case but know the gist of it. It looked like a warning of just how spectacularly bad things can go when two dysfunctional people hook up. I liked this even handed video; thanks as ever for your analysis. Subscribed BTW. Regards from western Canada :)
JD's defamation case is worth watching. It's both fascinating & educational.
I would love to know what Johnny feels about the apology. I have accepted it with trepidation. I choose to see what his future behaviour will reflect on this apology. I thank you for a very astute and fair opinion. It helped me decide. I have enough to deal with in my life that carrying that judgment isn't useful or helpful.
It was no apology to Depp. Wootton simply said he was sorry to have become involved in their toxic relationship. That's no apology to Depp. He prefaced his 'apology' by saying "I don't want to upset Amber". So he is still Team Turd.
@marilou676 like everyone else your opinion and I respect that but I have come to my own conclusions thank you.
Dan Wootton has posted a full apology this afternoon.
Well said BBB. Thank you for this.
It's great2see u again,hear your proffesional opinion,offering your support.❤
I think you are correct in that it takes courage to apologise, especially publicly, albeit worded carefully.
I hope his own trial by media will give Mr Wootton pause for thought before he speaks in future. He has now experienced the other side and I hope he has learned from it.
How I feel about the actual apology is immaterial. The apology was not for or to me. It is up to Mr Depp to accept or reject the apology.
"It's very hard to apologise." Yes, it is! " I choose not to hold grudges." Maturity! Thanks for your work.
It's not apology at all! It's neither courage!
He is just surprise by the backlash he faced when he was in trouble... I guess he tought that everybody was going to be on his side, but instead most of the people tought that it's was well deserve karma for what he did to Johnny... so he try to look good now, with this fake apology...
Can see a similar case coming up when the toxic duo divorce
JD was also fighting for his kids sake as he said, not just for his career and his reputation. We will see how this has affected Mr Wooton,s reporting in the future. Can he change his vitriolic outlook on people, I hope so, but I doubt it.
My gut feeling is that Wootton is only apologising to try and improve his own despicable image, knowing that if he can win over the Depp Community he would gain a lot of support. HOWEVER, he blatantly and deliberately went after Depp with nothing but malice and was responsible for the "wifebeater" comment that Depp will have to live with for the rest of his life. The apology does not undo what is done and it WILL not ever earn Wootton any forgiveness or reprieve! What would have happened if Johnny didn't have the means or strength and integrity to stand up for himself? Wootton just picked a fight with a much better man!
I respect your intelligent and insightful comment.
I honestly appreciate your take on how to cope realistically with the situation here. I don’t think Dan is all bad. I think he just became high on his own hype. Life moves on. ❤️
Well said. Just as it takes the ability to step away from your views to be able to forgive someone, it also takes that ability to apologize.
Neither will change things, but it needs to be done to move on.
It's easy to say there's a lack of sincerity, but credit is due for realizing mistakes made and addressing that publicly.
Most people, given new information and experience, wouldn't knowingly repeat their mistakes, nor would they have made them in the first place.
Don't forget he wasn't the only one taken in.
We all have moments of incredible hindsight, and a person shouldn't be disparaged for acknowledging that.
What's past is done, and nothing will change that. You can only go forward and try to do better. And the first step is in acknowledging your mistakes.
Dan gave a gaslight apology. Or non-apology-apology. He clearly deflected from accountability. His condescending & patronising behaviour was evident during his insulting attempt of a weak apology! A big no for me. He came across disingenuous. Dan Wootton took advantage of the interview with Meghan probably hoping to quick spin some PR damage-control, to minimise negative perception. Failed apology for sure. An insult. As far as I'm concerned Dan has lost credibility & integrity.
An intelligent comment.
Wootton is a very bitter man who is out for revenge and he will throw everyone under the bus to get it ... I watched his “apology” ... not buying it 😡 ... after is hit piece on the Prince Of Wales in regards to the non-existing affair made me realise what a headline grabbing little 🐍 he really is ... I also lost some respect for Meghan Kelly after watching her behaviour in regards to the Princess Of Wales photo editing ... just lost a lot more after watching her and DW together.
Still isn't an apology
The woman's op-ed was ignored till Mr Wootton splashed it, along with a few names and accusations. on the front page of the comic of which he was the editor. He may have chosen to forget, some of us are waiting for his genuine apology to Johnny Depp.
Why is Dam so worried about re-opening the case?? If he so believes he was wrong? What kind of courage is that?🤮🤮 can he give us back Johnny’s Warner Bros. Character that DAN himself worked hard to get him fired?? No
Well, I never thought this day would come. Not in a million years. Not that I believe he's sincere. I honestly don't know. All I can say is I hoped he actually did learn something. Only time will tell.
Exactly it is not an apology
I think the apology comes under the … “ l can’t believe it’s not butter “ … apology ! … l don’t think he actually apologised !!
When I heard DW's apology, I thought to myself he's not apologizing to JD. He's apologizing to himself for ever getting involved in the whole mess because of the karma he now received from his ex. And, he's also forgiving himself for all he did. That's what I got out of his "apology." It had nothing to do with JD. And I agree that for any "normal" person it does take courage to apologize, but this is not courage being shown. It's him covering his butt so he can resume his "career" IMO.
Interesting take, thanks
JD went for it knowing that the whole truth would come out, yes he had some questionable language he used in regards to Amber but anyone who had ever been in an abusive relationship will know full well how hard it is to always behave correctly. I was in an abusive relationship, in the midst of his rage he threw me to the floor and I fell against some plastic storage boxes that were stacked up, I stood up and kicked him in the crotch and he backed off from me. Was I proud of kicking him? No. But I had had enough and snapped, I had endured nothing but verbal, emotional, financial, physical and sexual abuse from him for such a long time. It's been 15 years now and I still have horrible, dark thoughts about him, I can understand why JD felt the need to vent to his friends, the things he said about her were nasty but it is so very hard to be perfect when you're in the midst of such depravity. You're both in that black hole, the perpetrator and victim.
sorry, Dan Wootton would not have apologized if it had not happened to him.
