People Are Standing Up For Johnny Depp With These 40 Memes While Others Disagree
This week, American actor Johnny Depp lost a libel suit he filed in London, suing the newspaper The Sun for calling him a "wife beater" in one of their articles, a reference to his relationship with ex-wife Amber Heard. The case was ugly, dragging both actors' private lives into the spotlight. It was complicated, too; each accused the other of abuse.
British libel law works differently from the American version. In the US, the burden of proof for libel is on the person claiming to have been libeled — that is, the plaintiff has to demonstrate that what was written is false (at least in cases involving matters of public concern). In the UK, the burden of proof is on the party accused of libel — that is, The Sun had to prove that the things published about Depp were true. A judge held that 12 of 14 of Heard's accusations of abuse met the threshold for truth in civil court. Depp's attorneys say they plan to appeal. (Depp is also suing Heard for defamation in a U.S. court after she published an op-ed in The Washington Post identifying herself as a survivor of sexual and physical violence.)
On the Internet, it seems that Johnny Depp has a lot of people by his side. Twitter, Reddit, and other platforms are being flooded with memes, supporting the actor. There are, however, those who disagree with them.

The word "men" isn't supposed to be capitalized. There's no such thing as "men's culture". Men aren't a distinct ethnicity or something. Just use it like normal, instead of like you're trying to get an op ed in the bible or something. Still, f**k Amber Heard.

Whatever the truth? Getting treated unfairly and being told, "No one will believe you!" is pretty common to ALL victims of abuse of any gender, race, etc.. Ditto ridiculously unfair outcomes.

You're ignoring the fact that a man is always presumed guilty until he's able to prove his innocence when it comes to domestic violence. Even when there's more than enough evidence that Heard started the conflicts, Depp is still the "wifebeater" but no one has called Heard a "manbeater". The simple fact that domestic violence against men is discussed as "contradicting the widespread impression" proves how biased people are about domestic violence.

Amber Heard was arrested in 2009 when she was beating up her former partner. Why is she allowed to continue making movies and Johnny is kicked off on unproven charges of her - a proved abuser and beater?

It has also been proven that Judge Nichol's son works for the defendant & with the author of the story calling JD a wife beater at Talk Radio which is owned by Ruppard Murdoch who owns The Sun and Judge Nichol's wife's best friend is best friends with Amber Heard's main attorney. They even invited AH to a dinner party during the trial & Judge Nichol's also previously worked for the defendant when he was a barrister. With those, plus a couple more connections, he should of recused himself from the case just for his son currently working for the defendant alone and if you read the court documents, he told JD he believed him but believed her more; by 1% more as the outcome was 51% in favor of her.

The problem is that the judge who called Depp a wifebeater ignored the fact that Depp never was trailed or even convicted of domestic violence or assaulting Amber Heard. Instead he based his verdict on allegations that weren't proven at all. On the other hand there's more than enough evidence that Amber heard was the offensive and abusive party in the relationship. She even told Johnny Depp that she could do what she wanted because no one would believe Depp. "Go and tell the world that I, Johnny Depp, am a victim of domestic violence and see how many people believe you.". https://www.screengeek.net/2020/02/07/amber-heard-johnny-depp-full-leaked-audio-recording/
