What does the Heard-Depp verdict mean for the MeToo movement?

On their surface, the circumstances surrounding this case would seem to support those fears, raising the prospect that some victims may now hesitate to speak out about their experiences or distrust the courts as an avenue for justice.

“When Weinstein went to jail it was, ‘me too is winning!’ When Cosby came home it was ‘What a blow, me too is losing!” Burke continued. “This is two people who were in a toxic relationship that were awful to one another and a jury decided that one of them was manipulating the situation,” Ahouraian said, making clear that she wasn’t taking sides, but rather, describing the jury’s decision., an arbitrator and mediator who previously was a litigator. “I think a lot of people considering it to be that perhaps are not as aware of some of the evidence that came out.

“There’s not like a huge backlog of these cases. There aren’t people dying to file these,” Wheeler continued. “Lawyers don’t even like filing them because they’re so hard to prove – I don’t think your average person needs to worry about it.”, said that a single trial couldn’t be determinative of #MeToo’s viability.

But several attorneys were worried that the verdict did present a potential problem for the #MeToo movement. Victims might see thedirected at Heard – and the millions she must pay Depp – and fear what might happen if they speak out.

It means that some women are liars and abusive too. It also means that abuse claims should be treated with caution.

Nothing. The case is in isolation. Amber is no face of anything

Just a court drama about fame and money !

That men need a MeToo without being unfairly criticised or labeled anti feminist.

it´s dead.

Basically nothing, as they are two self-absorbed humans. Carrion.

A backlash honey

Don't you mean MePoo ?

it means women don’t get to say whatever they wish anymore and it be deemed true solely on the nature of their genitalia

it means that these movements are not created to help people in needs but they are used to scam innocent people

Lot of people have now realized, that MeToo is often exploited because it's easy, and there is no real consequences for the woman. Everybody used to believe everything the woman said without a question. People won't be so blue eyed anymore, thanks to Amber🙏🏼

That liars get catched and men can also be victims of DV

It means less fake victims, less abuse , equality in belief and in assistance and outcast liars who use metoo for their own personal gain

If means that whether those who have been abused or female or male, all allegations should be treated fairly, equally, and without bias. Certainly many women suffer domestic abuse from Men. /1

It means finally we do not have to be told to “believe all women” because women lie just like men do. She deserved the verdict and she openly lied 🤥 numerous times and was caught out in her own lies.

Predatory females, they’re everywhere toxicfemininity

I think all abuse allegations should be acknowledged and the victims should be provided with safety and fairness

It’s means nothing in the bigger scheme of things. If you think woman are going to take a step back you have not been paying attention

It was a Defo case. Didn’t absolve him (or her for that matter).

MeToo has always been an Anglo feminist hate movement, if they had any credibility they would have acknowledged that there were bucketloads of false accusations made by women. Instead they came up with shit that all women are to be believed

Looks like it means they will have to acknowledge that some men as victims of abuse. And that some women are socioopaths.
