How America got duped.

, reacting to her testimony in real time and sending their followers onto the internet to argue with anyone defending her.The narrative of Heard as a scheming manipulator was so uncontroversial that brands got involved. In the early days of the trial, Heard’s lawyer held up a concealer kit to demonstrate her point that Heard’s bruises often weren’t visible in photographs because she covered them with makeup.

Nearly all of the “evidence” against Heard propagated on social media had the same laser focus on small discrepancies and minor misstatements. At one point, Heard referred to her makeup as her “bruise kit,” a term professionals use for makeup thatbruises. She quickly corrected herself, but Depp’s supporters used the slip to claim that she had inadvertently admitted to faking her bruises on the stand.The greatest and most effective discrepancy was her charity donations.

Seriously? Who really gives a shit

This is such a planted story. Hard to believe Slate would stoop so low, but there you go.

Heard was nothing more than a conniving, lying piece of work who thought she was going to clean up off of Depp by accusing him of the oldest story in the book. She was never abused and she had NO evidence to say she was. There was mountains of evidence against her \\

Talk about being a dupe.....wow! Listened to most of the trial, you obviously didn't.

Damn it! Why are there so many ways to kill a human, but only one way to kill a bug? Hold that thought.

What happened to Slate? Really sad to lose what was once a relatively solid journalism collective to a nonstop, desperate attempt for eyeballs.

I am amazed by the amount of not-online people that are finally waking up to the real idea that MSM are complete liars, entirely due to this trial. Too many people watched it first hand to believe the lies they are being told now. Seems like this could bring a real change.

It was his lawyer that was found liable not him. You are everything that is wrong with journalism.

So if things don't go your way you have to twist everything so that people can stick to your point? People watched the whole think and they're smart enough to make their own opinion. For people like myself who didn't watch it will stick to what the jury said. Thank you anyway!

Do you mean how Slate try to dupe America?

As someone who watched the trial, they got it right. But hey nice try for the clicks. Time to move on right?

Nice try ….

I didn’t follow the trial, but I’m pretty sure the jury did. Why should I believe you and not believe them?

Posting this bullshit again?

Never underestimate the persuasive power of 2 second clips of someone posting something painfully stupid. 'Amber Heard's defense gets BUTTSLAMMED by Camille Vasquez!' ''Body language expert BUTTSLAMS Heard's testimony!'

How utterly condescending.

'Nibblin' on sponge cake Watching the sun bake All of those tourists covered with oil' Jimmy Buffett 🎶🎹🥁

Apparently we all got 'duped' by watching the trial and seeing Amber lie over and over, doctor photos and gaslight the jury.

Curious. Did the author of this article watch the entire trial? Did he listen to the phone tapes of a phone conversation between Heard and Depp leaked to TMZ? Discussion of pros and cons of going to trial. HeardNotLikedByJury

Sadly the MeToo and BLM and all these social clubs have been duping the country and taxpayers for too long?

You need to turn off the idiot box. Some of us remained rightfully and blissfully ignorant of a matter that is really nobody’s business.

This is hilarious, they make a bs post and it gets so much hate that they just shut up about the whole trial. Good the media is demonizing Depp for winning his case

Unfollowed for this.

She said, NO proof of any of the horrid abuse. The recording of her telling depp how she compiled all this evidence, threatening him? It came time to produce evidence? Doctored photos, out of context texts, no med recs, no witnesses. Jury..she lied.

Obviously you did not bother to watch the trial. This is drivel and an insult. There was no duping, the evidence is on JD's side. Watch the trial, it is all available. This article is embarrassing.

“Depp’s core claim—women advance their careers by accusing powerful men of abuse—doesn’t hold up to the evidence of his own abuse accusation. Heard is ruined; Depp is in preproduction for his next role; other alleged abusers are already copying his legal strategy.”

Oh go away Slate. And I unfollowed you.

this is terrible and an insult to your readers
