1. Fame is helluva drug.
2. In 10 years, can someone please research how many young female lawyers and psychologists say: »Camille Vasquez / Dr. Shannon Curry inspired me!«
3. Lawyer Elaine Bredehoft does NOT know how to switch on her microphone.
4. Please, some millenial intern: explain Amber Heard’s lawyer Elaine Bredehoft the technicalities of social media — it’s not »the twitter« or »the twitters« or »the twitterers« (she means a tweet). It’s also not »hundreds of thousands of Instagrams« (she means a post).
5. For Johnny Depp, people showed up and testified with whom he apparently has had friendships for 10-25 years. For Amber Heard, we repeatedly heard that her former »best friends« don’t talk to her any more.
6. If Amber Heard mentions she does mushrooms, Ecstasy and whatnot, no one in the courtroom seemed to care. If Johnny Depp drinks and does Cocaine, the lawyers tear him apart.
7. This is probably the first trial (as far as I know) that was televised and live-streamed where thousands of memes, TikToks and funny videos were created while the trial was still running. Memes that already celebrated the winner — long before the verdict was spoken. (Someone please write a thesis about this media phenomenon!)
8. Reading the Youtube comments of all these people who have suffered real abuse, or were married to a narcissist, was heartbreaking.
9. »My dog stepped on a bee.«
10. »Mega pint of wine.«
Yes, there was aftermath on Twitter.
Someone wrote »Amber, now you can say Johnny beat you.«
Touché indeed.
