Ive been thinking the same , she had literally won in the lottery of life , had a life that most of the world would only dream of , but it wasn’t enough for her.
That's the culture. Many overstate value on celebrity rather than on those who do good. Why? Celebrity = fame = wealth. That's the American dream shortcut.
Amber Turd's off-the-scale greed and entitlement are utterly sickening! She demanded millions from Johnny Depp, after a mere 15 month marriage that produced no children. And she's a wealthy woman in her own right, with the ability to continue to earn millions as an actress (whose raised profile and bankability is mostly down to her association with superstar Depp). Why then did she act like a dependant little wife in the divorce negotiations? The fact she fraudulently claimed she was gifting her divorce settlement from him to two charities is yet another outrage, proving exactly how toxic, dishonest and self serving she is! The Turd has betrayed all women with her false abuse allegations. Thanks to her, even fewer women will come forward and report dangerous, abusive males. As a result, they may stay with their abusers and even be killed by them. Amber Heard has women's blood on her hands.
Her lawyers are ridiculous. They shouldn’t be asking crucial questions they don’t already know the answer to. They have no control over any narrative at the moment, & digging a very deep grave. Also, if they wanted to discredit the psychologist in choosing a certain test, they should have had a more studied test ready to argue for, and hammer her on why that one wasn’t used, while also picking apart the used test in comparison..but they did nothing like that. It’s almost as if AH’s team is TRYING to lose the case. All they’re doing is adding credibility to Johnny’s witnesses. It’s utterly bizarre.
Exactly. To me, if I were a juror, I'd think they came across and condescending and rude. Bringing up the fact that shes not board certified when I think only 10 to 20% are. And obviously and purposely trying trip her up in the worst ways. It looked really bad to me.
I would think the average person doesn’t know what board certified means, so I don’t think that’s a bad thing to do. Sleazy yes, possibly effective to stick “not certified” in jury’s mind. But given they have nothing else to stand on, they should probably focus on bpd and how the disorder could cause her perception to be that he was abusive. But oh well.
@@chadwarden593 My point is to find a more studied test, to then be able to create an argument/illusion of ‘incompetency’ over the test actually used. The lawyer didn’t bother creating any argument, she just asked a potentially inflammatory question..then no argument..no point made. So weird (and helpful to the opposing side).
One of my favs was when Elaine asked the witness if she knew whether Amber had a skin condition- when they reply “no”, she then pounces with, “well did you ask her??” The guy is like “uh no, I’m not gonna ask if (a highly spoiled quasi- famous egomaniac histrionic female actor) has a skin condition.”

The concept of grace (in action) is often very hard to find in our current society, and like a impossibly rare phenomenon in celebrity life. Grace shown toward those suffering from mental illness is still woefully absent as a mitigating factor. Still time to consider: Do I recall seeing somewhere online that Marilyn Manson & Depp are friends/party "associates"? Given Manson's alleged crimes, I believe that were I representing Heard, this could be effectively used to paint Depp in a more negative light.

I don't think Johnny wants or expects the money if he wins. This is about justice and truth and getting his life and career back on track. I want to believe that this will happen regardless of the outcome. She is a nightmare, and she will never leave him alone. If he wasn't famous and had security, she would have killed him like Jody Arias and Shana Hubers (two other cluster B nightmares) did to their partners when they were rejected.
There are text messages exchanged between amber and Josh Drew where they discuss her bringing knives to a "talk" her and Johnny are supposed to have. Adam waldman released a ton of information to the public which is what: A) got him booted from the case and B) is part of her defamation case against Mr. Depp.
And she actually could have killed him. He contracted MRSA infections twice following finger grafting surgeries. Either time it could have led to heart and lung damage, sepsis and death.
The world doesn't need humor. It needs justice. Punish all liars, the obscenely rich, the tyrants. Maybe give people hope that if they believe in their system of government/civilization, that those who do evil will be punished. I'd rather have that than a chuckle here and there.
Juries can be pretty smart sometimes - I remember the one with the CEO charged with embezzlement or shady “loans,” and kept bringing up the CEO’s 5k shower curtain and video from his ridiculously lavish parties, with models walking around as Greek statues. One old guy on the jury said later “that just made the prosecution look weak and manipulative - what did the parties have to do with whether he got that money legally or not? They just wanted to make us not like the guy.” It was a hung jury and in the next trial the prosecution toned down the “rich shaming” and got the conviction. Same with just “trying to destroy” witnesses - often backfires and comes across as lack of a true defense, plus making people dislike the lawyer/defendant.

I think if Ambers attorneys pull a Jodi Arias and have Amber stand on her head during closing arguments, they may be able to save their case and pull it on home!
Nope, this is civil not criminal. That's why they let the doctor slide. No way no how would those lawyers have allowed the doctor to diagnose with 2 disorders if they don't plan on using it in closing. They know they're sunk. They know their client is a liar. But 1st amendment guarantees you a lawyer and they know it's going to take long, but best of all, they know they are going to be paid. Guaranteed, those lawyers would have found conflicting circumstances if they thought for a second amber was footing the bill. And they know she can't do 5 million let alone the 50 asked for. They are going to claim her bpd in closing and say that she's not functional. (wonder what's going to happen to her child) then they will lay the blame at aclu doors and the paper. This will go on for a long time. Disney will have to make a quiet deal with him or find him a new character. She really did ruin 3 lives, her kid has to live with this too and I don't think Hollywood is falling over itself to offer her work. The games people play sometimes... Smh.
The best Amber's lawyers could hope for was the jury saying "team No One" (like me) and everyone going home, having wasted millions in legal fees. But it's not looking good so far. Being mean without substance goes nowhere, especially against a beloved star of drunken pirate movies. Maybe Amber can pull off a great performance on the stand, but she's not sympathetic, to say the least.
Having watched a few movies in which Amber Heard had a substantial role, I'm confident she lacks the talent to persuade the jury - or anyone else - she's not a domestic abuser, not a pathological liar, and not the horrific, toxic narcissist Johnny Depp's attorneys have shared that she totally is. That's exactly who Amber Heard is, and Depp has conclusively proved it! Whatever verdict the jury returns, Johnny won this. His witnesses have all been people of high calibre and morals, who've known him for decades and never experienced or witnessed anything even approaching abusive behaviour. On the contrary, their testimony has without exception reflected a kind, generous and fundamentally decent man - the very opposite of an abuser. Johnny Depp has got this!
@@glamdolly30Johnny being a kind, generous and fundamentally decent man in general is not the point, though. Was he abusive to Amber or not: yes or no? Or to be clearer: can it be proved -- yes or no? If I were a lawyer and his true friend, I would have advised Johnny to let it blow over and not take it to court years ago. As much as I dislike Amber and thought she was a forest of red flags, I know it's often impossible to see what's happening inside a marriage from the outside. Johnny also, IMHO, was a forest of red flags, 20+ years older than Amber, and he presumably knew better. So whether or not he's got this (probably yes), will what he has really be worth it? It might feel like it for a short while, but it's at the price of having his private life and character dragged in front of the whole world.
@@floraposteschild4184 when it comes to younger women, men don't know better. And you have to remember, he has lost his career because of this, so I don't blame him for suing.
I suspect they are relying on the Fairfax County jury venire (i.e., D.C. suburbs) . . . it may look mean to an even-keel, middle-of-the-road nice guy like TCL, but if they are pre-programmed to Believe All Female Accusers, what looks mean to us may look bold and heroic to them. The sins of Kew are chaste in Katmandu...
@@floraposteschild4184 To be falsely accused of being a 'wife beater' is about as serious as libel gets - possibly only one up from paedophilia. So I 100% understand Johnny Depp's decision to pursue this woman and her damaging lies through the courts. She sought to assassinate his character, knowing it would affect his public profile and therefore his livelihood. Heard did this for two reasons - simple malice, and to elevate her own image and exploit the 'me too' movement for her own ends, presenting herself as a heroine of that movement, Her additional lies, particularly her repeated, self-serving and totally bogus claim to have donated her $7m divorce settlement to two named charities, have also been blown out of the water by Johnny Depp's lawyers. At no point have Heard's legal team been able to prove any of the alleged abuse on Depp's part. Their case against him is so fundamentally weak and lacking foundation, they have tried to conflate his drink and drug use with abuse. That's a very cynical and disingenuous strategy, which I hope the jury has seen through. Depp has never denied his addiction issues. But to be an addict is a very different thing to being an abuser! The fact Depp has presented so well in court (and his calm, kind nature been confirmed by so many independent witnesses), has been central to his case - because it goes to the heart of his character and credibility. A decent man would not have been guilty of the heinous physical violence Heard has alleged. Whatever the jury verdict, Amber Heard will not emerge from these proceedings with honour or credibility, because time and time again it has been shown it was she, not he, who was the aggressor and abuser in their relationship. Her personal assistant, among others, confirmed her appalling behaviour - there have been no such third party claims of aggression against Johnny Depp.
Scott, 50 million *is* life-ruining… but so is accusing the highest paid actor of being a wife-beater. She deserves to have her life ruined if she lied about that. And it certainly looks like she did. I think JD knows he’ll never see that $$. He’s not doing it for the $.
@@nineteenfortyeight she’ll just get Elon to pay it, or some Arabian prince she starts hanging out with in the future. Or bankruptcy. But then if she ever made $ in the future, she’d have to pay it or hide it well.
Lol lawyer troll. 😂She sounds like nails on a chalkboard. They have nothing, they're trying anything to make it stick. I read Johnny's lawyers are paid hers only get paid if she wins. How many of his movies has to do with drugs and drinking. We all knew. He almost kept up with Hunter. The witnesses are brilliant. Thanks Scott ✌️ more coverage, your take is refreshing as always. ✌️♥️🇨🇦🥓
I agree that her lawyers are making a lot of missteps and GREAT point about how they might have approached the BPD diagnosis differently. What a missed opportunity for cultivating compassion for their client and reducing stigma for the diagnosis in general.
You're right Scott, $50 Million, is unimaginable to regular folks like us, but not for Johnny Depp. I agree that AH, more than likely won't be raking in that kind of money, any time soon. But, she marries well, so who knows? There's another one born every minute.
As someone with Borderline personality disorder. Your plan wouldn't of worked on me. Just because someone has the disorder is no excuse to behave like she has, we are responsible for how we act and getting help.
I loved it when Johnny Depp said he wouldn't go back to Disney for $300 million and a million alpacas! And a fan brought a couple alpacas to the courthouse! He does have a sense of humor.
Did you see Milani the makeup company made an official TikTok comically denouncing that Heard used their makeup to fake “cover” her bruises? She had said it was this specific pallet of colors, and they proved that the pallet hadn’t even been created while she was married to Johnny.
Thank you, as always, Scott for your take on this. I'm embarrassed to say that Amber's lawyer, that Rottenborn guy, lives and practices here in my city lol. I cannot believe he objected to one of his own questions 🙄😂
I dont mind him. I would hire him. At least I know with him I'm getting my money's worth, not only is he actively listening to the other lawyers he's listening to his own side ... 🤣🤣
Could it be possible that she has told her lawyers to do everything they can to try and make johnny look like the bad person in the relationship and tell them to go for no other angle? The lawyers seem so ridiculous that it makes me think that there got to be something else to it but idk
I noticed that also! Amber's lawyers are all very rude and it's really irritating when they interupt witnesses on the stand and don't let them finish their answers.
@@Tara_thatonegirl Oh yes that was good as well. I love the humour Johhny has shown instead of getting agitated too. Especially when RB kept saying did I read that right 🙄
Yall I genuinely sat there at thought "are the trying to make the jury not like them!?😬 do they not like her either!? Cause no way they could be this tone deaf and clueless" 😂
As a stand-up comedian, I’m surprised you didn’t mention anything about the importance of stage presence in relation to this case. Johnny Depp achieved a level of success 99.9 percent of actors are unable to achieve because he possesses an innate natural charisma 99.9 percent of all people in the world don’t, including Amber. Regardless of what you have against him, he is going to win the public-and the jury-over with his natural charm, without even trying, and that’s exactly what he’s doing
It's good to see your take on this wild situation & as you said, we're all watching! It's crazy but he did the right thing to do it in openly though. Like Johnny Depp said, he lost "nothing less than everything". He also said he did this for his children, so that they aren't going to continually have to live with hearing these things. Regarding the $50 million, one of Johnny's witnesses was a very high level/powered person in Hollywood & testified with a full analysis that the losses Johnny Depp sustained due to being dropped by Disney estimate $40 million. & she's now fully openly accused him of beatings and horrific sexual assault. It's just horrendous. How someone creates all this I'll never know. Thank goodness there's actually some humor in a lot of the moments though! Ok great video True Crime Loser as always!
God this was such a good commentary lol. I just wish Johnny’s lawyer would object more. Rottenborn is on point with it, Johnny’s is allowing Rottenborn to bully their witnesses. I sort of understand the strategy, but it’s super annoying to watch. I hope the jury sides with Johnny in the end 😭
Rottenborn looks like an absolute clownshoe for objecting so much that he even objected to himself. During Johnny's Cross examination they did have multiple objections in quick succession right at the end and it completely obliterate her team's flow, but Johnny's team know they can win points back during the redirects, so it's not as much of a huge deal most of the time and it shows total confidence.
@@aimipon Rottenborn didn’t object to himself, it was actually another lawyer on Amber’s team who was cross examining the Scottish guy who objected to himself. He’s younger than Rottenborn and attempts to be as aggressive as Rottenborn is, but you can tell how much quicker and nastier Rottenborn is when he takes the stand. Not sure why people keep confusing the two. I think the reason why the lack of objections is worrying is perhaps because of the jury, particularly where the jury is from. This is happening in VA. Northern VA is much more liberal than the south so there’s probably a good 50/50 split where some of the jury stand politically/socially. My worry is any weakness by Johnny’s defense could make jury members who are already predisposed to take Amber’s side no matter what think that Johnny is more culpable than they did before. But Johnny’s lawyer is a beast so I’m sure they know what they’re doing, it’s just frustrating to see Rottenborn and his lackeys act like such assholes
JD has every right to try to get 50 million and at the same Amber trying to take JD for 100 million. I really dont care if Amber has to sell her organs to replace all the money and damages she owes Johnny for his damages and loss of opportunities. If she kept going, Johnny caught have lost his life. She was worried that she wasnt in his will.
The lawyers are taking evidence from their client in Good Faith - ATurd who lies about everything is a tough client to make evidence look truthful. Generally the lawyers are doing the best they can but would be hindered by ATurds manipulations too.
Between her self defense team on the attack and Halderson's defeated defense team not speaking at all they could have a happy medium and actually help their clients. 😄❤
I've watched the entire trial, and this is spot on and really entertaining as well, plus hysterically funny. Thanks for making me laugh, and have a good one!
Scott, you should try for a role on Saturday Night Live or your own animated comedy show about trials,interrogations,and case file information with cast of characters.
If I was Amber... i would apologize, admit my faults and say i am going to get help for my diagnosed disorders. Seriously though, I have been diagnosed with BPD it is hard to live with but damn she's gotta do some public image fixing at this point.
So sad The man with money and looks -who could have quite a pick -chose Amber Turd - and invited a hellish nightmare into what could have been an incredible life….hope he gets help too
He didn’t “pick” her. When you learn more about Personality Disorders you will understand they have a textbook “pattern of seduction”, it starts with Love Bombing then after the mask slips it’s Devaluation, Smear Campaigns, False Abuse allegations …
😏Johnny be rotten. Old man,young troubled woman. He cant do nothing wrong,she cant do anything right🤐 They should just let it be,move on fhs. It's like world war between women and men,and I'm not here for it. Jd looks like a mean old idiot imo.
You made an excellent point of the lawyer having an exceptional opportunity to make Amber look like a human being and they flopped it. They keep throwing 🍝 at the wall trying to see if it'll stick. Objecting to himself was hilarious and incredibly unprofessional Imo and if I was Amber I'd be demanding my$ back from those lawyers.
When people sue for millions - they never ever see that amount of money, and the person they are suing does not have that amount of money, but it restricts the person in the future from earning huge amounts, by writing a book, or selling their story, etc. For example, Chris Watts was sued for Millions for the death of Shann'an, and the girls, plus the end of her pregnancy, by her parents, they never saw the money, they will be lucky if they see a dime, once the house is sold and items CW owned, is sold. It will only cover their lawyers fees .... but they have made sure he never earns anything from writing a book, getting an Author to write his story, as any proceeds will be taken from him, in this case. Suing CW was just an exercise to ensure he never profits from his crimes!!
The defense needs to start thinking about how they are gonna get paid and how they are gonna get new clients? I guess they can be entry-level law clerks 🤔
Amber's next character witness - *Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez*

She wanted her friend Shmeeda to represent her, but gosh she just didn't know if she could take the case.

Adam waldman released a ton of information to the public which is what: A) got him booted from the case and B) is part of her defamation case against Mr. Depp.
He said he’s doing this more for his two children because of what they have had to hear,like their dad is an abuser etc
Exactly he not mean 😪
And she actually could have killed him. He contracted MRSA infections twice following finger grafting surgeries. Either time it could have led to heart and lung damage, sepsis and death.
@@wintercomesearly That's awful! She isn't human.
She's cost him more than 50 million in lost pays!!!! Also, this is a precedent setting deterrence case
Thank you. The world needs more humor at this time. There is so much misery🤯
The world doesn't need humor.
It needs justice.
Punish all liars, the obscenely rich, the tyrants.
Maybe give people hope that if they believe in their system of government/civilization, that those who do evil will be punished.
I'd rather have that than a chuckle here and there.
So close to 100k!! Let's go Scott!!! P.s. Amber is a monster and her lawyers being aholes is a really interesting tactic that won't work.
Her lawyers make it hard to be unbiased l. And the ammount of times people have said “no I didn’t say that.” Is embarrassing yikes.
Especially the male policeman. I loved it when he said people are allowed to have a fight with their wife (or similar)
The fact he's a big movie star makes it hard for any of you to be unbiased appaerently.
Juries can be pretty smart sometimes - I remember the one with the CEO charged with embezzlement or shady “loans,” and kept bringing up the CEO’s 5k shower curtain and video from his ridiculously lavish parties, with models walking around as Greek statues. One old guy on the jury said later “that just made the prosecution look weak and manipulative - what did the parties have to do with whether he got that money legally or not? They just wanted to make us not like the guy.” It was a hung jury and in the next trial the prosecution toned down the “rich shaming” and got the conviction.
Same with just “trying to destroy” witnesses - often backfires and comes across as lack of a true defense, plus making people dislike the lawyer/defendant.
One old guy. Problem is, is when you have a lot of 30 something women. Then that shit works.

Amber tried to call Schmeeda but she had no pictures of her abuse claims.
😂😂😂
Always a good sign when you have to object your own claims. Thank´s for your analysis, I always have to contain myself because I literally laugh out loud several times even on crowded buses.
It's not actually her fault that her lawyer is trash though. Seems like she needs new lawyers.
@@trueCrimeGuruYes I meant the laywer, but you´re probably right
Good morning all Schmeedas here! You made my Friday Scottie, what a treat, two awesome 👏 videos!
Happy weekend to y’all from Toronto 🇨🇦
Happy weekend, fellow Torontonian (and fellow TCL fans everywhere).
I think if Ambers attorneys pull a Jodi Arias and have Amber stand on her head during closing arguments, they may be able to save their case and pull it on home!
Nope, this is civil not criminal. That's why they let the doctor slide. No way no how would those lawyers have allowed the doctor to diagnose with 2 disorders if they don't plan on using it in closing. They know they're sunk. They know their client is a liar. But 1st amendment guarantees you a lawyer and they know it's going to take long, but best of all, they know they are going to be paid.
Guaranteed, those lawyers would have found conflicting circumstances if they thought for a second amber was footing the bill. And they know she can't do 5 million let alone the 50 asked for. They are going to claim her bpd in closing and say that she's not functional. (wonder what's going to happen to her child) then they will lay the blame at aclu doors and the paper. This will go on for a long time. Disney will have to make a quiet deal with him or find him a new character. She really did ruin 3 lives, her kid has to live with this too and I don't think Hollywood is falling over itself to offer her work. The games people play sometimes... Smh.
The best Amber's lawyers could hope for was the jury saying "team No One" (like me) and everyone going home, having wasted millions in legal fees. But it's not looking good so far. Being mean without substance goes nowhere, especially against a beloved star of drunken pirate movies. Maybe Amber can pull off a great performance on the stand, but she's not sympathetic, to say the least.
Having watched a few movies in which Amber Heard had a substantial role, I'm confident she lacks the talent to persuade the jury - or anyone else - she's not a domestic abuser, not a pathological liar, and not the horrific, toxic narcissist Johnny Depp's attorneys have shared that she totally is.
That's exactly who Amber Heard is, and Depp has conclusively proved it! Whatever verdict the jury returns, Johnny won this. His witnesses have all been people of high calibre and morals, who've known him for decades and never experienced or witnessed anything even approaching abusive behaviour. On the contrary, their testimony has without exception reflected a kind, generous and fundamentally decent man - the very opposite of an abuser. Johnny Depp has got this!
@@glamdolly30Johnny being a kind, generous and fundamentally decent man in general is not the point, though. Was he abusive to Amber or not: yes or no? Or to be clearer: can it be proved -- yes or no? If I were a lawyer and his true friend, I would have advised Johnny to let it blow over and not take it to court years ago. As much as I dislike Amber and thought she was a forest of red flags, I know it's often impossible to see what's happening inside a marriage from the outside. Johnny also, IMHO, was a forest of red flags, 20+ years older than Amber, and he presumably knew better. So whether or not he's got this (probably yes), will what he has really be worth it? It might feel like it for a short while, but it's at the price of having his private life and character dragged in front of the whole world.
@@floraposteschild4184 when it comes to younger women, men don't know better. And you have to remember, he has lost his career because of this, so I don't blame him for suing.
I suspect they are relying on the Fairfax County jury venire (i.e., D.C. suburbs) . . . it may look mean to an even-keel, middle-of-the-road nice guy like TCL, but if they are pre-programmed to Believe All Female Accusers, what looks mean to us may look bold and heroic to them. The sins of Kew are chaste in Katmandu...
@@floraposteschild4184 To be falsely accused of being a 'wife beater' is about as serious as libel gets - possibly only one up from paedophilia. So I 100% understand Johnny Depp's decision to pursue this woman and her damaging lies through the courts. She sought to assassinate his character, knowing it would affect his public profile and therefore his livelihood.
Heard did this for two reasons - simple malice, and to elevate her own image and exploit the 'me too' movement for her own ends, presenting herself as a heroine of that movement, Her additional lies, particularly her repeated, self-serving and totally bogus claim to have donated her $7m divorce settlement to two named charities, have also been blown out of the water by Johnny Depp's lawyers.
At no point have Heard's legal team been able to prove any of the alleged abuse on Depp's part. Their case against him is so fundamentally weak and lacking foundation, they have tried to conflate his drink and drug use with abuse. That's a very cynical and disingenuous strategy, which I hope the jury has seen through. Depp has never denied his addiction issues. But to be an addict is a very different thing to being an abuser!
The fact Depp has presented so well in court (and his calm, kind nature been confirmed by so many independent witnesses), has been central to his case - because it goes to the heart of his character and credibility. A decent man would not have been guilty of the heinous physical violence Heard has alleged.
Whatever the jury verdict, Amber Heard will not emerge from these proceedings with honour or credibility, because time and time again it has been shown it was she, not he, who was the aggressor and abuser in their relationship. Her personal assistant, among others, confirmed her appalling behaviour - there have been no such third party claims of aggression against Johnny Depp.
Scott, 50 million *is* life-ruining… but so is accusing the highest paid actor of being a wife-beater.
She deserves to have her life ruined if she lied about that. And it certainly looks like she did.
I think JD knows he’ll never see that $$. He’s not doing it for the $.
Agree💯%
Could she just declare bankruptcy?
@@nineteenfortyeight she’ll just get Elon to pay it, or some Arabian prince she starts hanging out with in the future. Or bankruptcy. But then if she ever made $ in the future, she’d have to pay it or hide it well.
Shoutout to each and every lesbian camp counselor. I grew up around a few of y’all, great people.
Lol lawyer troll. 😂She sounds like nails on a chalkboard. They have nothing, they're trying anything to make it stick. I read Johnny's lawyers are paid hers only get paid if she wins. How many of his movies has to do with drugs and drinking. We all knew. He almost kept up with Hunter.
The witnesses are brilliant. Thanks Scott ✌️ more coverage, your take is refreshing as always. ✌️♥️🇨🇦🥓
Ruining her career is more valuable than 50 million..
I agree that her lawyers are making a lot of missteps and GREAT point about how they might have approached the BPD diagnosis differently. What a missed opportunity for cultivating compassion for their client and reducing stigma for the diagnosis in general.
I’m pretty sure that Amber Heard was a mean girl in seventh grade.
You show me a person who doesn’t smile when they hear the TCL intro (“alllright!”) and I’ll show you a monster.
Johnny’s witnesses are the best.
I love how everyone asked never ever heard about Heard. Funny to watch her reactions.
the vaping and cruising doorman is so powerful
You're right Scott, $50 Million, is unimaginable to regular folks like us, but not for Johnny Depp. I agree that AH, more than likely won't be raking in that kind of money, any time soon. But, she marries well, so who knows? There's another one born every minute.
Imagine how many lives could be changed by giving 5,000 people $10,000 each.
I think that's a good test if your not sure about a girl. If she is team Amber, run.
Run fast.
Haha!
^^yup
💯
As someone with Borderline personality disorder. Your plan wouldn't of worked on me. Just because someone has the disorder is no excuse to behave like she has, we are responsible for how we act and getting help.
YES! Personal responsibility is underrated. It can be freeing.
Thanks for speaking truth...
What about how he's behaved?
I loved it when Johnny Depp said he wouldn't go back to Disney for $300 million and a million alpacas! And a fan brought a couple alpacas to the courthouse! He does have a sense of humor.
Did you see Milani the makeup company made an official TikTok comically denouncing that Heard used their makeup to fake “cover” her bruises? She had said it was this specific pallet of colors, and they proved that the pallet hadn’t even been created while she was married to Johnny.
“Jonny’s main role is a drunk pirate” 🏴☠️🤣
Thank you, as always, Scott for your take on this. I'm embarrassed to say that Amber's lawyer, that Rottenborn guy, lives and practices here in my city lol. I cannot believe he objected to one of his own questions 🙄😂
It wasnt Rottenborn who objected to himself it was Baby Rottenborn, the younger attorney who sits at the back. They do look remarkably alike
I dont mind him. I would hire him. At least I know with him I'm getting my money's worth, not only is he actively listening to the other lawyers he's listening to his own side ... 🤣🤣
@@Haylesbury 🤣🤣🤣 omg
@@CL-we8tn 😄😂🤣🤣🤣
@@Haylesbury 🤣🤣🤣 "Baby Rottenborn" I love it!😆
Amber’s lawyers remind me a little of Stayvin’s interrogators.
JD probably wins the trial - - gets an award of $1.
Her lawyers represent her perfectly 😂
Could it be possible that she has told her lawyers to do everything they can to try and make johnny look like the bad person in the relationship and tell them to go for no other angle? The lawyers seem so ridiculous that it makes me think that there got to be something else to it but idk
My thoughts EXACTLY
I would usually say no good attorney would ever agree to that, but her attorneys might.
Amber's lawyers seem to think that people act like Twitter IRL, smfh.
I noticed that also! Amber's lawyers are all very rude and it's really irritating when they interupt witnesses on the stand and don't let them finish their answers.
Thanks Schmeeda! You are the best!!! ❤️🥰👍😉
The best bit of the whole trial for me so far is when Rottenman called "hearsay" on his OWN question 🤣
Mines the “mega pint”
@@Tara_thatonegirl Oh yes that was good as well. I love the humour Johhny has shown instead of getting agitated too. Especially when RB kept saying did I read that right 🙄
Always a good day when TCL uploads :)
I would have to check my muffins.
I told myself I would not watch this trial.......Epic Fail.......Yes, her lawyers are looking lame...at this point.
Who could forget that bruise on Amber's poorly placed fake cheekbone. 🙄. And the "shell shocked victim" act was stellar.
She must have put amica cream on it, because it completely disappeared and reappeared, and arnica cream can't do that!
Yall I genuinely sat there at thought "are the trying to make the jury not like them!?😬 do they not like her either!? Cause no way they could be this tone deaf and clueless" 😂
I can’t help but smile every time you say “hello everybody” cause I know I’m in for a good laugh
Amber is countersuing for 100mil! I am eager to see how her time on the stand goes.
I enjoy your narration of the real world. Thanks.
As a stand-up comedian, I’m surprised you didn’t mention anything about the importance of stage presence in relation to this case. Johnny Depp achieved a level of success 99.9 percent of actors are unable to achieve because he possesses an innate natural charisma 99.9 percent of all people in the world don’t, including Amber. Regardless of what you have against him, he is going to win the public-and the jury-over with his natural charm, without even trying, and that’s exactly what he’s doing
Climbing the 100k ladder. I am so happy for you. Sending much love and respect to you and the Schemeda Fam. I am not here for any reason.
It's good to see your take on this wild situation & as you said, we're all watching! It's crazy but he did the right thing to do it in openly though. Like Johnny Depp said, he lost "nothing less than everything". He also said he did this for his children, so that they aren't going to continually have to live with hearing these things. Regarding the $50 million, one of Johnny's witnesses was a very high level/powered person in Hollywood & testified with a full analysis that the losses Johnny Depp sustained due to being dropped by Disney estimate $40 million. & she's now fully openly accused him of beatings and horrific sexual assault. It's just horrendous. How someone creates all this I'll never know. Thank goodness there's actually some humor in a lot of the moments though! Ok great video True Crime Loser as always!
I love that you are covering this
“What are her lawyers…🤨😟🤔🫤🫣…doing?” Lmaoo
What can they do?
@@nineteenfortyeight huh?
God this was such a good commentary lol. I just wish Johnny’s lawyer would object more. Rottenborn is on point with it, Johnny’s is allowing Rottenborn to bully their witnesses. I sort of understand the strategy, but it’s super annoying to watch. I hope the jury sides with Johnny in the end 😭
Never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 ooh that makes sense. I just hope they know what they’re doing for their cross examinations 😭
Rottenborn looks like an absolute clownshoe for objecting so much that he even objected to himself. During Johnny's Cross examination they did have multiple objections in quick succession right at the end and it completely obliterate her team's flow, but Johnny's team know they can win points back during the redirects, so it's not as much of a huge deal most of the time and it shows total confidence.
@@aimipon Rottenborn didn’t object to himself, it was actually another lawyer on Amber’s team who was cross examining the Scottish guy who objected to himself. He’s younger than Rottenborn and attempts to be as aggressive as Rottenborn is, but you can tell how much quicker and nastier Rottenborn is when he takes the stand. Not sure why people keep confusing the two. I think the reason why the lack of objections is worrying is perhaps because of the jury, particularly where the jury is from. This is happening in VA. Northern VA is much more liberal than the south so there’s probably a good 50/50 split where some of the jury stand politically/socially. My worry is any weakness by Johnny’s defense could make jury members who are already predisposed to take Amber’s side no matter what think that Johnny is more culpable than they did before. But Johnny’s lawyer is a beast so I’m sure they know what they’re doing, it’s just frustrating to see Rottenborn and his lackeys act like such assholes
Scott, you’d make one great attorney!
JD has every right to try to get 50 million and at the same Amber trying to take JD for 100 million. I really dont care if Amber has to sell her organs to replace all the money and damages she owes Johnny for his damages and loss of opportunities. If she kept going, Johnny caught have lost his life. She was worried that she wasnt in his will.
I just can’t believe these are the best lawyers rich hollywood people can get. 😂🤦♀️
The lawyers are taking evidence from their client in Good Faith - ATurd who lies about everything is a tough client to make evidence look truthful. Generally the lawyers are doing the best they can but would be hindered by ATurds manipulations too.
Well then their best is subpar.

Scott, you should try for a role on Saturday Night Live or your own animated comedy show about trials,interrogations,and case file information with cast of characters.
Seems like a step down, looking at the absolute state of that show.
If I was Amber... i would apologize, admit my faults and say i am going to get help for my diagnosed disorders.
Seriously though, I have been diagnosed with BPD it is hard to live with but damn she's gotta do some public image fixing at this point.
He's a big movie star so of course he's allowed to get wasted every night and beat the crap out of her especially if she has any mental illness.
It’s a good day again when TCL posts back to back!
Love to see a new upload...back to back! Thanks for the great content.

The motion to dismiss the case told me the defense had nothing
What is that "isn't it true?" thing from at 5:50? It's driving me absolutely bonkers!
So sad The man with money and looks -who could have quite a pick -chose Amber Turd - and invited a hellish nightmare into what could have been an incredible life….hope he gets help too
It’s funny how Vanessa Paradis never had a fight with Johnny isn’t it?
to be fair, she was hitting up on him
He's not a good judge of character, he's gullible like I am.
You think he “picked” that predator? Not very smart.
He didn’t “pick” her. When you learn more about Personality Disorders you will understand they have a textbook “pattern of seduction”, it starts with Love Bombing then after the mask slips it’s Devaluation,

It's like world war between women and men,and I'm not here for it. Jd looks like a mean old idiot imo.
You made an excellent point of the lawyer having an exceptional opportunity to make Amber look like a human being and they flopped it. They keep throwing 🍝 at the wall trying to see if it'll stick. Objecting to himself was hilarious and incredibly unprofessional Imo and if I was Amber I'd be demanding my$ back from those lawyers.
When people sue for millions - they never ever see that amount of money, and the person they are suing does not have that amount of money, but it restricts the person in the future from earning huge amounts, by writing a book, or selling their story, etc. For example, Chris Watts was sued for Millions for the death of Shann'an, and the girls, plus the end of her pregnancy, by her parents, they never saw the money, they will be lucky if they see a dime, once the house is sold and items CW owned, is sold. It will only cover their lawyers fees .... but they have made sure he never earns anything from writing a book, getting an Author to write his story, as any proceeds will be taken from him, in this case. Suing CW was just an exercise to ensure he never profits from his crimes!!
Her lawyer is really a “Troll”, no doubt 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you…. So much fun watching you 🙏
Gotta argue about muffins for a half hour.
