A California judge could have invoked the state’s anti-SLAPP law and spared us the ugly details of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s chaotic relationship, but things are different in Virginia.

where she did not specifically name her abuser, arguing that the piece was disparaging and hurt his career. Heard subsequently countersued, reiterating her claims of violence at the hands of Depp.

Robert Sack, a senior judge at the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, says anti-SLAPP laws have become “a big deal” in defamation cases. It’s not clear that a California judge would’ve tossed Depp’s case, and Sack says there are a few reasons why so many defamation cases happen in Virginia, including robust interstate commerce and its proximity to Washington, D.C.“One reason being because they’re so strong and they differ so much from state to state,” he said. “So the fact that it’s very strong and can and does differ from state to state makes it a very good ground for a lot of recent litigation,” he explained, citing Rep.

Heard, who is decades younger than Depp and lacks the same name recognition, was the subject of ridicule and bullying from her ex-husband’s fans. “Virginia is OK as a state for defamation cases,” said Jeremiah Denton, a Virginia Beach attorney who primarily represents plaintiffs.

Good for him smart man and some dummy tried to pull one over him. So that is how its done you tried to make him look bad and you did but karma is a f.u.c.k.en Bitch & the grate man wins. see God is on your side my friend xo Blessing you. sweet man always

Before writing anything maybe u should have looked at the facts. He filed the case in Va because that is where the Washington Post HQ is located. Amber filed her lies in the WaPo, therefore the suit was filed in Va & it was not a frivolous case, by any means.

He chose VA b/c it’s closest to WaPo HQ, the outlet this defamatory Op-Ed was published in. There was nothing frivolous about this. Johnny Depp is a Domestic Abuse Survivor, Amber Heard his abuser. The evidence speaks for itself, she’s the monster. Depp is the “imperfect victim”

There’s the spin

Tens of millions of people no longer trust your publication to not push a narrative which pushes an agenda, as opposed to the truth. The bias for amberheard is a lesson in 'how media coverage' got it wrong.

Lol give up.

I thought it was because they could televise the trial

Maybe you should look ( and learn) at how the Johnny/Amber verdict SHOULD have been reported

the people you need I am a good trusty person just need a change in my life. And you can trust me 100% on paper.

I want to work for you sir Johnny Depp I can do any thing. I I am a good person and you will be helping me out. Clean, cook, watch or baby sit your home's run & do things for you. I always wanted to work for fame people I have a good heart I know you may have

so its frivolous to call a man a SA and expect everyone to just believe it? To then have society cancel him based on that claim? Wow. just wow.

That's why Devin Nunes filed several of his suits there as well. They just didn't work out as well.

Daily Beast is a tabloid barely better than InfoWars.

Terrible tweet

Wrong! Bad journalism 👆 clickbait.

Depp v Heard. This astrologyreading correctly predicted the verdict and provides the reason.

Its amazing how some media platforms are still trying to spin this out of Depp's favor. Their was clear legitimate reasons for it being in VA and only takes a second to look up as to the reasons why, but that's not their jobs to look up facts they're just uhh..uhh.. JOURNALISTS.

Your basic premise that we wanted to be spared the details is abhorrently false. We WANTED unfiltered, unbiased, open access to the FACTS, TESTIMONIES, and EVIDENCE that we wouldn't have rec'd without the cameras...as the media coverage of this trial proved.

woulda, coulda, shoulda diaper story

We would have never known the truth - AmberHeard would have continued with the lies

Congrats to Johnny Depp, the chivalrous man, the beloved, the oppressed, over the snake Amber, God take revenge on her and every unjust 🤲🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 from Saudi Arabia

did not follow the whole Johnny Depp thing enough to know that Sue Amber Heard was NOT her name until now ...
