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.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard met when he was a 45-year-old father of two living with his longtime partner, Vanessa Paradis, and she was 22. A few years later, Depp and Heard married and soon divorced. In 2016, Heard filed for divorce from Depp and also obtained a temporary restraining order. Her allegations that Depp was physically and verbally abusive while using drugs and alcohol were soon widely publicized. She alleged that at the time of filing for divorce, an incident had taken place during which Depp threw his phone at her, leaving her with a bruised face. However, a police spokesman told People that an investigation into the domestic incident radio call found that no crime had taken place.
Depp denied the accusations against him and through his representatives said Heard was "attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse."
Heard testified under oath at a deposition, but she withdrew her request for a domestic violence restraining order and a settlement was reached. According to People, Heard received $7 million from the divorce but donated it to charity. She also canceled her spousal support request of $50,000 a month.
"Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love. Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain," Depp and Heard said in a then-released joint statement. "There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm." Their divorce was finalized a year after Heard filed.
The Hollywood Reporter said that a non-disparagement clause was inserted into the settlement that prevented either party from saying anything negative about the high-profile relationship and break-up.
In December 2018, Heard wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post saying she was abused but Depp was not mentioned by name.
In 2019, Depp sued Heard for $50 million for defamation over the article. The suit said that Heard "is not a victim of domestic abuse, she is a perpetrator," and denied that Depp ever abused her. Instead, the suit said that Heard's allegations were part of an "elaborate hoax to generate positive publicity" for the actress.
"The op-ed depended on the central premise that Ms. Heard was a domestic abuse victim and that Mr. Depp perpetrated domestic violence against her," Depp's lawyers said.
In a court filing that attempted to dismiss Depp's defamation suit, Heard recalled multiple instances of alleged abuse that she said occurred during their marriage and referred to him as "the Monster."
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.
In 2020, phone recordings obtained by the Daily Mail were released where Heard admitted to "hitting" Depp.
Heard is heard saying: "I'm sorry that I didn't ... hit you across the face in a proper slap, but I was hitting you, it was not punching you. Babe, you're not punched.
"I don't know what the motion of my actual hand was, but you're fine, I did not hurt you, I did not punch you, I was hitting you."
"I left last night. Honestly, I swear to you because I just couldn't take the idea of more physicality, more physical abuse on each other," Depp said in the recording. "Because had we continued it, it would have gotten f---ing bad. And baby, I told you this once. I'm scared to death we are a f---ing crime scene right now."
Heard responded: "I can't promise you I won't get physical again. God, I f---ing sometimes get so mad I lose it."
Sharon Osbourne has weighed in on Johnny Depp's high-profile "wife beater" trial, saying on CBS' "The Talk" that Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard were "as bad as each other" and that she could understand the pair's relationship because she once had a similar dynamic with her husband, Ozzy. Many Internet commenters also share this opinion.
Haha, he entertains the children with pirates, and the parents with rum jokes.
In Australian law, men are not legally recognised as capable of being victims of rape. This disgusts me and it needs to be fixed. If we can't treat men and women equally in the law, what hope does the rest of organised society have?
yes, it is. please jury, make a just decision!

About time men that are abused get protected too. Guess we saddly have a long way to go on that though.
It is sad and it's true that the public and overall system is softer to women, don't go ham on my comment now since it's true. Women always get small jail times for larger crimes. They also get the public's side like Amber Heard and Johnny Depp. She pretty much ruined his career.
Men can face abuse, they can be depressed, they can cry them self's to sleep never judge a book by it cover #justiceforjohnnydepp
men and woman are no different from each other, both can be loyal, or discriminating
I’m sorry that happened to you. I’ve been looking back at these older posts and feeling awful for those who have been trapped with abusers during lockdown. I know you might not see this, but I hope you will get out/have gotten out of that situation. Please be safe ❤️

Violence has no gender. Men can be victims of abuse. Or... Violence men has can be no victims of gender abuse. I think top is right but it could be something else
I once lived in a unit below a heterosexual couple and she beat him. Without a doubt. My friends and family all said it was probably a sexual thing. It was not. He was beaten and tormented. Lived in fear. I once left a note on her car windscreen that said "I know what you do to him and if you don't stop, I will report you". Never heard it again.
Really? You're going to pin that on men? Sure men are the vast majority of violent crime but that's mostly because women are usually turned a blind eye by the government.

I HATE when people ask that question, you’re basically blaming the victim because they didn’t leave. There are many reason abuse victims don’t leave. Many are psychological. When you’re abused (as a woman) your self worth might be very low and you feel you have nowhere else to go. As a man you might be afraid of being made fun of. There are so many reasons but if you have never been in that situation there is NO WAY you should say what you would do. You really don’t know.

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.
So true. Victims of childhood sexual abuse, victims of workplace abuse, victims of emotional abuse, victims of sexual assault, etc. The abusers think that they are above reproach, and try to convince their victims that no one will take them at their word.

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/
As if it wasn’t hard enough for women to come forward and accuse someone of sexual assault, people like Amber make it so much easier for sexists to dismiss us. And it is important to remember that men are abused too, but it happens so much less. I hope Johnny Depp is doing well and I hope Amber faces jail time.
I do not know the truth and therefore I do not allow myself to judge. But some MEMES are pejorative. Now, downvote me!
I agree. Amber heard sucks if she beat Depp, and Depp sucks if he beat Heard. but we don’t entirely know so I’m keeping my mouth pretty shut.

And this is why men don't speak out about domestic violence. Amber Heard's actions almost mirror an ex-girlfriend of mine who used to physically attack me and then lie that the bruises she gave herself were down to me. My friends had seen her attack me and had had to physically remove/restrain her from me on occasion, but her friends and family all bought it. I left that relationship after my ribs were broken by her father (she'd previously broken my nose), no one believes that a 6'2" man can be beaten up by 5'6" woman but it happens, because men are taught not to hit women so all you can do is restrain them (which is generally how they get bruises to blame on you).
Im sorry, if that b... is far away, Im sure you have a better life now.

Regardless of that total truth here, she should be fired too. The only reason she has kept her job is because she's a woman. As a woman who is hopefully not a total piece of s**t, that angers me.
I agree with you. I think that they were very toxic and ultimately no one really knows how their relationship played out. But what is good for the goose is good for the gander. If Johnny Depp is to be fired for abuse so should she. There is far evidence, from her own lips, of her abusing him then her video of him throwing things around. She kept her job by being poor innocent woman and I hate that.

They're both messed up people and I don't like how their toxic relationship is open for display to the public.
I don't think it was ever really their choice to have it on open display, they are celebrities so it was kind of beyond their control and it opens up some discussions around abuse. Having conversations about abuse in the open makes having those conversations a lot easier and helps people in abusive relationships to find help and support.

Anyone can be a victim of domestic violence. My uncle is proof of this. He has been stabbed twice by his crazy wife. She also set a house on fire while my uncle and aunt were in it. My cousin was also a victim of domestic violence. He was dragged by a car by his ex girlfriend. Johnny Depp is a good guy and I don't think that he would ever hurt a woman.
Thank you for this. Someone I love was hurt badly and while that period of his life is long over? Scars remain. Oh, adn then there's the u ncle who died... At the hands of a female sibling. So, yeah, we gotta open our minds to what awfulness *any* human can commit.

Oh come on this is rubbish and the thing is we will never know all the facts. Making your assumptions based on internet and tabloids is rubbish. Looking at them together was cringeworthy enough, both are toxic. Both have abused substances and most probably each other. That is disgusting and sad. I am afraid that I will be looking Depp’s movies differently which is also sad because it was a big part of growing up loving Edward Scissorhands etc. Both of them have a bad rep from now on, but we all know that will pass, especially in Depp’s case because apparently women supporting women is so last season. Jeez... Any kind of violence towards others made is wrong and there should be a price to pay. There are other forms of violence too, not just physical.
I guess people don't wanna admit their heroes have flaws and just wanna forgive and forget. But I agree with you, they had an awful toxic and abusive relationship. While she was definitely abusive and probably the instigator to their big rows, I question Johnny's mental health for both getting with someone like Amber Heard (and leaving his wife for her) and getting into this toxic dynamic. I too view him differently... their weird actions with the dog thing in Australia.... all the drama now.... they are both at fault, and both need to look at themselves.

Let me say one thing. As a man who has been emotionally and mentally abused for 13 years, abuse knows no bounds. It's a means of controlling a person through some form of power over them, whether it's physical, emotional, financial, sexual, etc. You don't have to be rich or poor, or live in a certain country. It can happen to anyone, and it can sneak up on you. I didn't even realize it was happening until I was suicidal. The hardest thing to do is getting someone to listen, because so much energy is spent telling yourself the abuse "really is that bad" when you want to deny that fact. It's an exhausting thing, and it's terrifying to think about the future without them, especially when there are kids involved.
I thought they were hitting each other? A totally f****d up marriage from the beginning, does one evil cancel out the other?
From what I can tell yes, she was abusive and (allegedly) instigated a lot of fights. She harmed him and/or threw things at his face. He retaliated at least once physically, but does it make it right because she started it? idk. They are both at fault as far as I'm concerned.

I think they had a toxic relationship and were abusive to one another. Johnny is not a saint and clearly has a drinking problem.
In England, the court assumes the person being sued for libel (The Sun) is lying and they have to prove they were telling the truth. You have to have evidence back up what your printed or you lose. On 12 counts, there was evidence he is abusive. Whether she beat him as well (overwhelming evidence) was not on trial, only his actions. Its like being busted for leaving your kids in a locked car in the heat and saying its ok because your wife did too. You are still a douche who risked the health of someone you claimed to love. Also, him losing his job and not her is about money, not hypocrisy. Neither was fired while it was mere accusations It was only after a court ruled he was abusive that he lost his job - the court ruling means Depp broke a moral clause in the contract. WB is doing the same thing with her right now. In their eyes she's "only" an accused abuser, not a real one yet. Don't want to risk a wrongful termination suit until you have court precedence.
No it wasn't. He started losing work as soon as she accused him. The whole reason he went to court was that his name was being dragged through the dirt. He provided ample evidence that she was lying about the abuse (read the court documents) the judge ignored most of it and Nicols' main argument was that she wasn't a golddigger because she gave away the divorce money. He dismissed Johnny's claims that he was set up by her from the start on the back of this. Well, it turns out she has not given away the divorce money at all, she kept it. It was just more of her lies. Johnny has appealed and I hope he wins this time.

The more I read the more I think that both of them were abused and abusive, once both of them were on drugs and alcohol. They both need help and to be clean and psychological treatment. Sad story this couple has.
Exactly. Their relationship was extremely toxic, and there's evidence of abuse on both sides. We're not in any place to suggest who was worse, but neither of them are perfectly innocent.

As a company you're free to hire or fire anyone that has been found guilty of a crime. If you consider this an individual that does not represent the moral code you want to hold up or may harm your reputation in anyway it is your right to distance yourself from that person.

Anyone knows you can lash out at someone while defending yourself or after enough provocation but to actually harm someone with a burrning object reveals a sadistic nature and this would be acceptable behaviour for WB and it shareholders???

Having given up job because of an abusive (female) manager i can understand how Johnny feels. In my case the woman could no longer hide without me and was sacked six weeks later. The woman had a toxic personality disorder/ sociopath (I'm a nurse!). All my grievances fell on deaf ears because she was a woman.

These stories are true, cause I said so and also, my close friends said so!!! I told them stories in the past too, but never saw it. JD team: you don't have any document about any of your injuries, only some very weak doubtable pictures, we have pictures about you on the following day, can prove that none of them seems to be realistic or true, your doctor/nurse did not see it. So I guess they sent Depp to hospital with his injured finger, and they just fully ignored your damaged, injured, choked, bloody half dead ass, who was abused for days and did not take you to the hospital or anything? guess they were just JD fans or bots or something. Police did not see injuries in another either, so I guess they just lied...or bots or JD fans...
Yes domestic violence exists where the man is the victim. Domestic violence as an important issue needs to be discussed a people need to be aware. But geez, talk about spinning dirty laundry. These are real people, not Lifetime characters in one of their made for TV movies.

Vanessa Paradis lived with Jonn Depp and had children with him. She's a well know actress and singer in the French speaking parts of the world. Mme Paradis stood by her ex companion and said he never hit her or anybody else. Unfortunately her testimony was not taken into account. What kind of strange Justice system has the UK that doesn't believe the evidences and the people who testified for M Depp. GB is a very strange country with a weird justice that penalizes the victim. I truly hope that he can get another court judgement that will fair.
Vanessa only gave evidence that Johnny did not abuse her that does not mean that he did not hit Amber, the courts could do little with that information. We now know that Amber is the one that was abusive but that's only because of the tapes of her admitting that she hits him when she goes into her rages.

There is one aspect/incident of this affair that does not sit comfortably with me: why would a woman who is financially independent remain for one second with an abuser and contrive to video record his temper as he damages his kitchen? I do not know the truth of the whole, but that seems extraordinary behaviour by any stretch.
You have clearly never been abused. That is an insulting thing to say to those of us who have been in abusive relationships. Whether you meant it or not you must understand that staying involves a multitude of reasons and feelings. It’s not all about the Benjamins. There are psychological reasons, reasons of fear and safety…it’s really impossible to explain. The bottom line is that unless you have experienced something, you have absolutely no idea how you’d react and have zero qualifications to make any meaningful assessment.

I guess people don't wanna admit their heroes have flaws and just wanna forgive and forget. But I agree with you, they had an awful toxic and abusive relationship. While she was definitely abusive and probably the instigator to their big rows, I question Johnny's mental health for both getting with someone like Amber Heard (and leaving his wife for her) and getting into this toxic dynamic. I too view him differently... their weird actions with the dog thing in Australia.... all the drama now.... they are both at fault, and both need to look at themselves.
Load More Replies... Let me say one thing. As a man who has been emotionally and mentally abused for 13 years, abuse knows no bounds. It's a means of controlling a person through some form of power over them, whether it's physical, emotional, financial, sexual, etc. You don't have to be rich or poor, or live in a certain country. It can happen to anyone, and it can sneak up on you. I didn't even realize it was happening until I was suicidal. The hardest thing to do is getting someone to listen, because so much energy is spent telling yourself the abuse "really is that bad" when you want to deny that fact. It's an exhausting thing, and it's terrifying to think about the future without them, especially when there are kids involved.
I thought they were hitting each other? A totally f****d up marriage from the beginning, does one evil cancel out the other?
From what I can tell yes, she was abusive and (allegedly) instigated a lot of fights. She harmed him and/or threw things at his face. He retaliated at least once physically, but does it make it right because she started it? idk. They are both at fault as far as I'm concerned.
Load More Replies... I think they had a toxic relationship and were abusive to one another. Johnny is not a saint and clearly has a drinking problem.
In England, the court assumes the person being sued for libel (The Sun) is lying and they have to prove they were telling the truth. You have to have evidence back up what your printed or you lose. On 12 counts, there was evidence he is abusive. Whether she beat him as well (overwhelming evidence) was not on trial, only his actions. Its like being busted for leaving your kids in a locked car in the heat and saying its ok because your wife did too. You are still a douche who risked the health of someone you claimed to love. Also, him losing his job and not her is about money, not hypocrisy. Neither was fired while it was mere accusations It was only after a court ruled he was abusive that he lost his job - the court ruling means Depp broke a moral clause in the contract. WB is doing the same thing with her right now. In their eyes she's "only" an accused abuser, not a real one yet. Don't want to risk a wrongful termination suit until you have court precedence.
No it wasn't. He started losing work as soon as she accused him. The whole reason he went to court was that his name was being dragged through the dirt. He provided ample evidence that she was lying about the abuse (read the court documents) the judge ignored most of it and Nicols' main argument was that she wasn't a golddigger because she gave away the divorce money. He dismissed Johnny's claims that he was set up by her from the start on the back of this. Well, it turns out she has not given away the divorce money at all, she kept it. It was just more of her lies. Johnny has appealed and I hope he wins this time.

The more I read the more I think that both of them were abused and abusive, once both of them were on drugs and alcohol. They both need help and to be clean and psychological treatment. Sad story this couple has.
Exactly. Their relationship was extremely toxic, and there's evidence of abuse on both sides. We're not in any place to suggest who was worse, but neither of them are perfectly innocent.
Load More Replies... As a company you're free to hire or fire anyone that has been found guilty of a crime. If you consider this an individual that does not represent the moral code you want to hold up or may harm your reputation in anyway it is your right to distance yourself from that person. In this case spousal abuse...BUT then to keep on another of whom it has also been proven in court SHE PUT OUT A CIGARETTE ON THE FACE of her partner??? That's just too ridiculous for words... Anyone knows you can lash out at someone while defending yourself or after enough provocation but to actually harm someone with a burrning object reveals a sadistic nature and this would be acceptable behaviour for WB and it shareholders??? You have got to be kidding me, right? We should all sign a petition asking them to justfy this nasty little known fact they so conviniently forgot!!!
Amber Heard is a convicted abuser...expunged or not.....if Warner believe he has done this, doesn't that make her the same....it makes me angry.....I would like to support whatever is the truth...but right now, to me at least, i feel Johnny is being sh*t on...frankly....#TEAMDEPP
SIGN THE PETITION TO REMOVE AMBER HEARD FROM AQUA MAN!!!!! SHE MUST PAY FOR HER CRIMES!!!!!!! http://chng.it/KzMXMLDDpD
whether you are gay or straight, a man or a woman, black or white, trans or not, EVERYBODY CAN BE A VICTIM OF ABUSE. Yes, women are more likely to be abused, but that doesnt mean that all women are angels. As a woman, i wonder why most people dont know that.
I don’t care if you save the entire planet, if you think that Amber Heard is innocent then you shall burn in hell. 🙃
Having given up job because of an abusive (female) manager i can understand how Johnny feels. In my case the woman could no longer hide without me and was sacked six weeks later. The woman had a toxic personality disorder/ sociopath (I'm a nurse!). All my grievances fell on deaf ears because she was a woman.

PETITION TO KEEP JOHNNY DEPP IN FANTASTIC BEASTS 3 (the movie he was fired from): https://www.change.org/p/the-people-warner-bros-bring-johnny-depp-back-as-gellert-grindelwald?redirect=false
well i know who jonny depp is... but who is amber I've never Heard of?!
AH: "I have a ton of evidence!" The evidence: here are some terrible stories, using disturbing details, like how I was a 3 day hostige and all (while having a mobile phone the entire time and free to go whenever I want or call someone to pick me up). These stories are true, cause I said so and also, my close friends said so!!! I told them stories in the past too, but never saw it. JD team: you don't have any document about any of your injuries, only some very weak doubtable pictures, we have pictures about you on the following day, can prove that none of them seems to be realistic or true, your doctor/nurse did not see it. So I guess they sent Depp to hospital with his injured finger, and they just fully ignored your damaged, injured, choked, bloody half dead ass, who was abused for days and did not take you to the hospital or anything? guess they were just JD fans or bots or something. Police did not see injuries in another either, so I guess they just lied...or bots or JD fans...
Yes domestic violence exists where the man is the victim. Domestic violence as an important issue needs to be discussed a people need to be aware. But geez, talk about spinning dirty laundry. These are real people, not Lifetime characters in one of their made for TV movies.

Vanessa Paradis lived with Jonn Depp and had children with him. She's a well know actress and singer in the French speaking parts of the world. Mme Paradis stood by her ex companion and said he never hit her or anybody else. Unfortunately her testimony was not taken into account. What kind of strange Justice system has the UK that doesn't believe the evidences and the people who testified for M Depp. GB is a very strange country with a weird justice that penalizes the victim. I truly hope that he can get another court judgement that will fair.
Vanessa only gave evidence that Johnny did not abuse her that does not mean that he did not hit Amber, the courts could do little with that information. We now know that Amber is the one that was abusive but that's only because of the tapes of her admitting that she hits him when she goes into her rages.
Load More Replies... It is wrong to root for a verdict. We should want justice done and for that, all of the facts need to come forward.
This is painful because of how men and women abuse people.😔 We realy need to stop this.Men, Trans, Non binary and all need to be protected
The more I read, i really think he's innocent! But all opinions aside, I really hope that the justice will be served. I don't know, but those two do, and it's up to the jury to decide. Let's hope they pick truth <3
Honestly it's so wholesome to see so many people standing up for one person, and making us smile from that and funny memes!
White, Black, Gay, Straight, Dem, Rep, we can all agree. Amber heard is a piece of s***.
Johnny Depp love ya Amber is a BITCH and a gold digger and does not need that Aquaman role she can rot in hell when she dies Johnny Depp will be in heaven how dare amber asshead abuse my Hollywood crush of many years Justice will be served for Mr Depp

There is one aspect/incident of this affair that does not sit comfortably with me: why would a woman who is financially independent remain for one second with an abuser and contrive to video record his temper as he damages his kitchen? I do not know the truth of the whole, but that seems extraordinary behaviour by any stretch.
You have clearly never been abused. That is an insulting thing to say to those of us who have been in abusive relationships. Whether you meant it or not you must understand that staying involves a multitude of reasons and feelings. It’s not all about the Benjamins. There are psychological reasons, reasons of fear and safety…it’s really impossible to explain. The bottom line is that unless you have experienced something, you have absolutely no idea how you’d react and have zero qualifications to make any meaningful assessment.
Load More Replies... I support him as an abuse victim, but I still don't like care for him as an actor.
This is a thoroughly disgraceful thread. It’s actually completely nauseating. Bored Panda has surpassed itself.
Sorry. Johnny Depp is arrogant bastard of the first water. Brings in to Australia his bloody dogs, without permission and felt that as a famous American film star he should not have to respect others laws/rules. I don't know but I understand that Depp's relationship with Amber was one of mutual violence.
I mean, dude that rhymes with Shleelonn most likely paid that judge off for his lying blonde friend.
None of us were there but it sure sounds like some of the #metoo movement is allowed to make exceptions for favorites.
Why not? You’re saying one could not POSSIBLY love someone that much older? That’s just silly. I could. Hundreds of thousands of people can and have (and do).
Load More Replies... He put out tapes of her admitting to hitting him that's the reason why they are supporting him not because he's a good actor.
Load More Replies... Huh. oooookkkaaay. Somehow you have some odd superiority complex about....what? Not caring about actors while we all supposedly do? Yet you find time to comment on it. Or the fact that you seem to think that actors are subhuman and don’t belong in your precious “normal” world because they dare to make a lot of money? Well, whatever, you don’t have to darken our pedantic, bourgeois doorstep. You are clearly busy feeding the homeless.

Did his foundation not get shut down for illegal activity? Was his "University" not shut down? Did he not say that coronavirus would disappear in April? Did he not purposefully and admittedly play down the dangers of coronavirus? Did he not ban travel from majority Mulsin countries? Did his administration not purposefully pursue family separation as a deterrent for immigration? Did he not appoint judges to the Supreme Court that will look to overturn women's reproductive rights? Did he not look the other way on the gruesome murder of Jamal Khoshoggi? Did he not look the other way when Russia put bounties on US soldiers' heads? Did he not spend 25% of his days in office golfing? Please. Let me know which ones are lies.
