Dear Johnny Depp, Fire Your Lawyers

in an effort to claim his ex-wife was the abusive one in this stormy relationship. It won't matter because there's really no reversing the damage that Depp has incurred these past few years.Pirates of the Caribbean

, this time featuring a female-fronted cast led by Margot Robbie. In other words, at the exact moment when a U.K. judgeon whether to actually proceed with Depp's libel suit after the actor's attorneys breached a court order by failing to turn over a series of text messages concerning the procurement of drugs, Depp may have lost his most lucrative role.

So Depp will pursue a favorable verdict and a nominal damages award from a trial that's playing out under English defamation standards — in other words, where the burden of truth is on the news publisher to establish rather than Depp. Meanwhile, over the next few weeks, amid an international pandemic, Depp will surely incur additional reputational harm from these prying court proceedings, the impetus for which was a column questioning J.K.

“One of the things you’re always balancing is, how do you respond to accusation? Do you add more fuel to the fire or let it dissipate?” asks Howard Bragman, a longtime crisis manager in the entertainment industry. Says Neville Johnson, an attorney who has previously brought suits against tabloids but questions the star plaintiff's wisdom here: “Depp doesn’t need the money [from any damages award] and it is not going to enhance his reputation.”How did Depp find himself at the point of zugzwang? More and more, one has got to question Depp's reliance on attorney Adam Waldman.

Good to see thr advocating for abusers n slandering abuse victims with this despicable tripe!!

Eriq with a Q loosing it, he is butthurt and can't keep to himself 😂 maybe someone at THR tell him to stop obsessing over Adam Waldman and Johnny Depp 😂

So he should keep quiet about being abused and let everyone think he did the abusing?! You do realize that she got a serious career bump because of her lies while his took a serious hit, right?! HE WANTS HIS GOOD NAME BACK!!! This writer should just take a hike!

This article is wrong on so many levels. I honestly don’t care if you have any personal grudge with the lawyer, but if your stand is that truth and vindication are not possible and not worthy to pursue, we really don’t trust & need any of your media reporting.

Wow so after all that online stalking this is the best Eriq could come up with?

Oh little Eriq is at it again! You’ve been digging about Waldman for weeks now, and what you come up with is a Google search 😂😂 couldn’t intimidate anybody with your Pulizer Truth matters more than money (know you don’t agree) so Depp will get his game back! You loose Bozo!👎🏻

Tbh I expected to find relevant information instead of whining

Eriq with a Q is a very cultivated man and an awarded reporter, he uses words like : zugzwang, goding, aficionados and svengali and he spoke to several industry attorneys and publicists. Gee ! I'm impressed !

Dear THR and Eric, mind your own business the lenghts you are going to discredit a survivor is beyond DISGUSTING!! 🤮🤮

Give Eriq Kindergarten his bottle that he may grow big and strong and learn not only the ways of the world, but also how to write better articles. This is such a poor delivery. Poor thing. 👶🍼🤦‍♀️

little Eriq is still butt hurt

It’s cooler to call it a kobayashi maru.

disgusting human................. amberheardisafraud justiceforjohnnydepp

Awful.

How's that article working out for ya?

Wow. I know you guys have just about lost every ounce of journalistic integrity you may have once had but this is the lowest I’ve seen you guys go in a while. Talk about a hit piece! Rupert Murdoch own you guys too? Jesus.

I tell u how - media didnt do their job by not reporting the truth. Has u and any of the reporter posted anyhing tht remotely points to his innocence. Example the tape in which she admits to hitting him or where she mocks for being male victim

I’m pretty sure you just violated the principle of ethics.

Maybe this author should be accused of falsely abusing someone and see how he likes it when no one believes him.

This article is asinine. Heard deserves to get blasted in court.

'All I know for sure,' said Indie PA filmmaker Lance Weiler, 'is that in a '94 head-on collision w/ a garbage truck-- and before I went out the windshield-- I broke my jaw on the steering wheel. Five long days of intensive care for me, and a many a lucid dream I had afterward.'

F U Hollywood Reporter!

🧐😳

I thought maybe I was reading the Sun rag. 🙄🙄

You know how you didn't report the two weeks of Michael Jackson trial focused on his defense, that ultimately proved his innocence? Maybe shut up now too, we don't need smear pieces against another innocent man.

This is so offensive- you’re talking about an abuse victim. This publication seems to have some very disturbing bias against him.

the way the media keep trashing and victim blaming male victims of abuse is disturbing justiceforjohnnydepp
