Charities and lawyers working with victims of domestic violence fear that Johnny Depp’s victory in a defamation case against Amber Heard will deter women from reporting abuse

by a jury in Virginia which found that he was defamed by his former wife in a column inHeard, 36, did not name Depp in the article titled “I spoke up against sexual

Sure makes sense! That means more abuse!

fariha54 might it not encourage MEN who are being abused to speak up .?

“All women all the time tell all the truth” is not a true statement. To say “Heard was not forthright and lied and evidence showed her to also be malicious” is what will effect actual abuse victims.

If MSM can't respect the court & jury's decision, they need to be sued. MSM is blatant with false narratives, lies & slanderous articles, aimed at attacking anyone who defy their narrative. The press & MSM is the enemy of the pple. The press do not deserve protection by the law.

It was clear to anyone who saw the trial Amber Heard was lying. She was after the alimony and lied about giving it to charity and everything else But the Media and Womens groups seem to be saying this was ok because she is a woman Which is NOT ok and diminishes women in general

No, it won't. What you guys want is for women to be able to make up stories as they go along without a shred of evidence.

Or it might help men who suffer domestic abuse to come forward!

Now The Times has engaged fariha54 and charliegowans to push their sexist narrative. Unbelievable the lengths you will go to obscure the truth and convince people that war is peace. Also, no mention of your links to Centre for Women's Justice, or their history of misandry?

SHOULDN'T THAT READ MORE WOMEN SHOULD STILL REPORT VIOLENCE NOT AS THE GUTTER PRESS ARE SAYING... IT IS A CASE OF SAFETY FIRST, SAVE YOUR LIFE DON'T BELIEVE THE NEGATIVES THE MALE DOMINATED PRESS ARE TELLING YOU SUBCONSCIOUSLY...

Why All it tells me is that any PERSON who is a victim of DV has a voice, why should that make women think they cannot come forward woth genuine cases 🙈

Keep discredit yourself. I love how mainstream media try so hard to destroy their own reputation by quoting some random 'experts' in their page of opinions to create a narrative and pretend they are still 'neutral' like they have no editorial screening.

Yeah but don’t be mad at Johnny Depp just because he defended himself. Be mad at Amber Heard for making false accusations

Never, I was sexually abused, reported it and the police did nothing yet I stand by Johnny’s side because I know how much it hurts to be discredited, the police told me that they had so many rape cases that they were throwing them out of the window. I rest my case.

No it will deter abusive women from playing the victim and also encourage men who have been in abusive relationship to speak up. Why does the society act like abuse and violent is a monopoly?

Chilling effect over liars n pretenders of abuse

The fact that people are yet to see that the only reason Heard ever felt like she should falsely accuse him and think she'd win was because of the stereotypes that all these feminists continuously spread I.e. that men are the only abusers.

Anyone deterd from reporting abuse after binge watching a televised court case in America, firstly needs to come away from social media and secondary should seek a reality check.

that is madness!!! so in spite of Depp winning his trial amber is the victim?

why would it? The Jury believed the victim not the abuser. This is not a MeToo moment. This is an MenToo moment

how can such a respected newspaper print such a ridiculous article...The trial was NOTHING to do with any alleged abuse...it was about whether or not she wrote an article designed to disrespect him/tarnish his reputation...

Everyone woman has the right to speak out, but every man has the right to defend himself.

...will deter women from reporting false claims of abuse.

So is what we are saying here that there is an assumption that the woman is always innocent? I don’t know the truth about this case and maybe no one ever will. However men and women should feel like they can come forward.

Nah, it will just deter lying women, stop this bullshit

It has a chilling effect on lying.

If it was the other way around you guys would be writing articles asking why he is not in prison but the mainstream media is to stubborn to admit they got used to try and destroy a mans career

What if Johnny identifies as a woman?

Nonsense...it emboldens us

I think yoll underestimate how most folks in different countries live in reality than smokes & mirrors of Hollywood. Any smart individual who watched the trial knows this narrative is not true. Amber losing has nothing to do with real victims because the cunt is not a victim.🚮

It will attract men to speak, and expose violent women who think ' he's bigger and stronger, I can hurt him physically and mentally ' ! Johnny Depp victory shows the 'reality', how some women abuse their 'position' cause they believe it's the right way while looking for equality.

Hopefully it deters them from reporting fake abuse.

No it does not, it was the right decisions she had no evidence of the so called abuse! She's attention seeking because she made a fool of herself in the eye of public opinion!

Keep telling yourself rubbish. The only thing you people know how to do is lie and spread nonsense

It could also do the opposite, helping men in abusive relationships to step forward

So basically women should be allowed to make any accusations they wish and we just have to believe them and instantly punish the man?

No idea who the others pictured are

To the ones that lie. Yes
