Each generation seems to have its own O.J. Simpson moment - an infamous trial full of twists and turns, and that mind-numbing glove moment, which set a new world record for the "most viewed trial" with a daily average of 5.5 million Americans watching the live coverage.

While the Depp v. Heard defamation lawsuit, which pitted 'The Pirates of The Caribbean' actor Johnny Depp against his former wife, Amber Heard, over a 2018 defamatory op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in which she described herself as a "public figure representing domestic abuse," did not top O.J. Simpson in terms of televised popularity (according to current data), it nonetheless became a watershed moment which captured our collective attention for a good chunk of 2022.
