After more than a month of trial, johnny Depp and his ex-wife Ambersheld's case finally came to a conclusion, and Depp won the case.
Amber needs to pay Depp a total of $15 million. It all started with an article Amber published in The Washington Post in 2018. At that time, she probably didn't think that this article would cost her so much.
Title: Aimeberhild: I speak out against sexual violence – confronting the anger of our culture, which must change
"I experienced abuse at a very young age. There are some things I knew early on and didn't need someone to tell me. I know that men have power, whether it's physically, socially or financially, and a lot of institutions support that arrangement as well. I knew this fact a long time ago, and I think you all knew it when you were kids.
Like many women, I experienced sexual harassment and assault by the time I went to college. But I remained silent, and I didn't expect to complain about getting justice. Nor did I see myself as a victim.
Two years ago, I became a public representative of domestic violence, and I felt the anger of our culture toward women's voices.
My friends and consultants told me that I would be blacklisted and would never be able to be an actor again. One movie I really liked replaced my role. I shoot a two-year campaign for an international fashion brand, but the company doesn't use me. I don't know if I can still retain the characters in the movies "Justice League" and "Aquaman".
In the real world, I have a rare opportunity to see how this system protects men from allegations of abuse.
Imagine a man with power, like a ship, like the Titanic. The ship has a huge industry. When it hit the iceberg, there were countless people on board frantically trying to fill the hole, not because they believed or even cared about the ship, but because their fate counted on the industry on the ship.
In recent years, the "MeToo Movement" has taught us how this power works for men, not just in Hollywood, but in various trades, workplaces, places of worship, or a certain group. In all corners of life, women are confronted with these men who are supported by social, economic and cultural power. It's time for these regimes to change.
.... (U.S. Systemic Issues)
I write this as a woman who receives death threats and is forced to change phones every week. For months, I rarely left the apartment, and once I left, I was followed by drones or photographers. Tabloids would put on my photos and negative reports to compile my things. I felt that although I had been tried in court publicly, my life and life were shaped by thoughts that I could not control.
I want more support for women who come out to discuss violence. We are choosing a representative who can understand how much we care about these issues. Together, we can work to demand legal and social change, to change the imbalances that create today's society. ”
Although Amber's article did not directly name her, she defined herself as a "victim of domestic violence", pointing directly to her ex-husband Depp, and was sued by Depp for defamation.
Now, after several years, the case has finally come to fruition. It can be said that the outcome of this case has a profound impact on both parties, which is enough to change the future lives of both parties.
