@xogirllife ...that's literally child abuse.... but ok.

@Kellyann45 I'm team Johnny but leave him alone. He was trying to do his job and is just as much a victim of her lies. Bullying the witnesses is mean and unnecessary. #JusticeForJohnnyDepp

@nypost She should have hired Anna Sorokin to style her for court.

@Eskarina9 @nypost This article breaks down how much she spends on rent, food, etc.... everything except donations lol.

@Maccollins01 Why are you making this a gender thing? It's not all women. My ex threatened to kill himself and hurt himself if I ever left. Men do this shit too.

@Angieblayze @IanRunkle Genuinely curious, what evidence wasn't handed over?

[V @VanessaVernick]

@LilyMorrison823 @IanRunkle I think that's so rude and disrespectful towards a jury who worked so hard, listened to everything for 6 whole weeks, and put their lives on pause for it. To use them as a scapegoat and shield is terrible.

[V @VanessaVernick]

@imReactingNow That's not her. Let's not start stuff.

[V @VanessaVernick]

@mistybleu82 @ZofiaSafin The Stephen Deuter ones, yeah you're right. Those were incoming. I'm just talking about the ones in evidence between him and Paul Bettany.

@KyDUIGuy Marilyn Manson has had MULTIPLE people come forward with sexual violence and abuse allegations. It's not the same situation at all.

@IvanaE @YouTube There's a documentary series on Netflix (at least in Canada) called Trial by Media. I started watching it after the closing arguments. It's fascinating!

@m_i_m_i__v @wuji_mp3 @resilientheard I have CPTSD too and I'm currently doing my PhD. For the most part I function well considering even though I still have bad days. We can't just determine mental health status by looking at someone, though it seems all of social media thinks we can.

[V @VanessaVernick]

@wuji_mp3 One of the things that bothered me about this case is all the opinions about how a DV survivor or someone with PTSD is 'supposed' to act. Also, that labeling her with a mental illness nullifies anything she says. But labeling him with a mental illness excuses everything he did.

@CrzyHonduranian @Mellymoops Ok, why are you yelling at me? We're allowed to have different perspectives. And I'm not even talking about AH, I'm specifically talking about the way rape 'jokes' are brushed off... it's a societal issue, not just applicable to this case.

[V @VanessaVernick]

@bebravegrl119 Oh most definitely. I still watched it though because I think it's politically important. There were a few times I had to skip scenes though.

[V @VanessaVernick]

@CrzyHonduranian @Mellymoops I am a "real" victim. Not that it matters or that I need to justify myself to you, but I was raped when I was 12 years old by two men in their 30s. It's precisely why I don't find the rape jokes to just be 'bad humour'. Those 'jokes' normalize and perpetuate sexual violence

[V @VanessaVernick]

@louisandlestat Aw thank you :) I really didn't think I said anything THAT bad. The blind loyalty to a celebrity that no one on here has ever met to the point where ANY critique is responded to with verbal abuse is just astounding to me. At the end of the day, we don't know either of them.

[V @VanessaVernick]

@mdgee It's more like historical/fantasy if you're into that but I highly recommend She Who Became the Sun by Shelley-Parker Chan. Great book and interesting take on gendered identities!

[V @VanessaVernick]

@kathy_blaha I'm not talking about Amber. I'm talking about JD as a completely separate person and entity, and how he spoke about women who AREN'T Amber Heard. Are you so loyal that I can't even critique or form an opinion about the way he talks about women in general?

[V @VanessaVernick]

@samas_b Nowhere in my tweet did I say that it did. My opinion is about the nature of the comments made about women as a complete aside. We don't have to agree.
