We’re Lapping Up Every Detail The Johnny Depp Amber Heard Libel Case - What Does That Say About Us?

Does anyone else find themselves pouring over the details like they’re in a slightly grubby time warp? It’s the really specific, horrid details, the random celebrity cameos That make it pure News Of The World fodder, from back in the days when celebs were celebs, happy to serve us up a big slice of sleaze on a Sunday morning along with our bacon and eggs .

The problem is, we all agree, quite rightly, that those days are over. Post phone hacking, post Me Too, in the midst of a world-altering global pandemic, ogling the details celebrities’ private lives, no matter how unedifying, feels wrong - it is wrong. It feels both immoral and irrelevant - and frankly, we all thought we were better than that.

Except we’re not and we haven’t. Every day this week the case has dominated the headlines. And we might like to blame the media for adding fuel to the fire, but Amber Heard, Johnny Depp and this morning Vanessa Paradis were trending as the most-searched names on google this week. We want to read about it, and then we want to read more.

Our moral ambiguity is further charged by the fact that this is a question of domestic abuse. And whatever went on in that relationship, the levels of misery and dysfunction that are being shared with us are horrifying. By pouring over every detail of a bad relationship breaking down in the worst way, we’re active participants as its relived in minute detail and in public. Re-playing it in this way is actually pretty obscene but we can’t look away.

Maybe we’ve been starved of celebrity gossip in lockdown, and can’t help but gobble up this veritable feast of intrigue and drama, when in a pre-pandemic week a picture of Jennifer Aniston looking great in a black dress and a bit of light speculation about where Kate Middleton’s earrings came from would have seen us through.
