Opening Statement - Elaine Bredehoft - Amber Heard’s Attorney
Actor Johnny Depp is suing ex-wife Amber Heard for $50 million for defamation in connection with Heard’s 2018 Washington Post op-ed, in which she spoke out about being the victim of domestic violence. Heard’s article did not specifically name Depp as her alleged abuser, but according to Depp’s lawsuit, it relied “on the central premise that Ms. Heard was a domestic abuse victim and that Mr. Depp perpetrated domestic violence against her.” Amber Heard is counter-suing Depp for $100 million.
The defamation trial began Monday in Fairfax County Circuit Court in Virginia, with jury selection completing on the same day. There is a possibility of celebrity witnesses testifying, including James Franco and Elon Musk. Tune in to the Law&Crime Network for daily coverage of this high-profile trial.

Johnny should get a medal for holding the longest "wtf are you talking about" face ever.
Thank you, thank you so much for that. I laughed out loud 😂😂
hahah xD
And the Emmy goes to….. JD
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is supposed to be an opening statement? Sounds like someone gossiping in a hair salon. What a mess.
🤣🤣🤣so true
true😂
yessss :D hahaha
Lol lol. And no one likes her either .
Exactly!🤣😂
Amber lawyer #1: “You will see how Mr. Depp will try to turn this into a soap opera!”
Amber lawyer #2: *proceeds to tell a soap opera style story of Amber’s life.*
Funny but true.
Elaine Bredehoft in representing Heard, has been a disgrace. I was curious about her and discovered that most of her background is kept hidden..!!! including her age, her parents, and her marital status. Most of the sites mention her as being on "The Best Lawyers List", which is as much of a joke as "The Best Doctors List". Being on such list has nothing to do with accomplishments. It is a Con Game played by the companies that started such lists. I have had first hand experience in dealing with such Con Games. It starts with a phone call informing the Lawyer or the Doctor that they have been "Selected", and that they have to pay $150 or $200 for the framing of the piece of paper that says they are on the List of the Best..!!!..Some Lawyers and Doctors know it is a Con Game but still figure it is worth it to hang a piece of paper on the wall that says they are the Best. And, of course, you also have some Clueless People who figure it is real, and it is produced by the American Bar Association or by the American Medical Association....!!!
@@theowl3756 Wonder why her life is hidden?
30:19 the infamous Boo Poo event
hahahaha oh my gosh! that comment is so true and funny at the same time.
It's crazy to me that while every single witness testimony is under oath, these lawyers are allowed to create insane lies and stories knowing full well there is a mountain of evidence proving them wrong.

I couldn't even finish watching this 🙈
Elaine is wild 🤣
I could watch this only because of Johnny's face "WTF is she even talking about"
Well it goes both ways. Johnnys lawyers can do the exact same thing amber’s can
Johnny's expressions during the female defense attorney's statement are priceless ! This attorney sounds more like a nosy neighbour excitingly repeating some juicy gossip she heard .
Exactly ✌️🙌🏻
💯💯💯💯💯
I couldn’t help but to laugh when they zoomed in on him during that portion.
@@Digital_Potion And even Johnny himself couldn't hide his grin a couple of times. She sounded ridiculous .
Kathy, I was just thinking the same thing, a total nosy gossiping neighbour who can’t keep her nose out of anyone’s business. She sounds like civilian and in no way a lawyer who is educated who actually pass the bar. How is this woman in business making the big bucks. I’m dumbfounded by her argument. She’s not even articulate when giving her gossiping rant. If I close my eyes and just listen to her voice I naturally want to smother her with a pillow. 😵💫
The moral of this opening statement: Never hire a Lawyer off of Craig's List.
Or you know.. Maybe her lawyer doesn't believe her either? But a lawyer, as I recall, can't not defend their client once they're assigned to one.. Maybe it's her lawyers way of trying to do her job as badly as she can 😅🤷♀️
I love this comment!
This comment is amazing 😂
Thank you!!😆😆😆👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
I’m at the part where she just said Amber has fecal phobia 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I died 😂
"There isn't any ability on her part to be the abuser" - THIS is such a problematic statement PERIOD. You don't get away with hitting, pushing, slapping, assault, etc. just because you're smaller than the other person. Regardless of the case, her saying that is OVERWHELMINGLY problematic, stigmatizing and harmful for people in abusive situations to hear.
Depp is a passive aggressive, drunken, drug addicted fkn liar. The multi millionaire, seasoned actor Johnny Depp, manipulated, mentally tortured, then set up a much much younger, naive woman. I believe you, Amber. Speak up now! We are with you.💜
But that isn't what Elaine Bredehoft was saying. She is referring to Amber Heard's character.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 even if its a statement on character, its still a horrible statement. ANYONE can be an abuser, no matter how their character seems to be. you can come off as the sweetest or kindest individual, and turn out to be an abuser? isnt this what ambers lawyers say about johnny?? that he was so charismatic and charming yet was abusive?
The smaller person isnt usually the abuser.... get real.
@@narlywaves2371 women hit men all the time, they genuinely do not see it as an issue *because* of the fact that they are smaller and weaker. Don't be part of the problem.
This is literally NOT an opening statement. How is this allowed to go this long?
Exactly what I thought!
True :)
6 weeks?
@@varunhebli that was the length of the trial. An opening statement is just that, a brief statement on what the jury can expect. Elaine went on for almost 2 hours in her opening statement that’s bonkers. Lol
Can't believe the judge allowed her lawyer to go on for so long on an opening statement going on and on and on like a dizzy duck.
AGREED 👍 WHY IS THIS WHOLE STORY ALLOWED TO BE SO LONG???? YOU KNOW ITS ALL EMBELLISHED BY THE LAWYERS
It's good for Johnny and his team tho. The jury get to see her ridiculous rambling!!
That’s how the system works. Opening and closing statements are very important. They are intended to paint a picture through storytelling and they are intended to get an emotional response from the jury. This is routine.
It’s actually good that she would go on and on so they can reveal information that could be used later.
@@pashvang5394 It's actually a very bad idea to have an opening statement this long because the jury will begin to lose focus and interest in what she's saying. If you got bored watching this, which I know I did, its likely the jury did too. Johnny's lawyers were much shorter and to the point of what they would try to prove.
It’s crazy to me how Depp’s opening statement was strictly about the evidence that the jury will see, and how it shows that Depp is not an abuser. However, Amber’s attorney is telling MULTIPLE stories for the opening statement? She barely even address what evidence they are supplying to the case. This is such a poor opening statement.
Agreed & she's testifying
Where’s the video of depps opening statement
@@nikkimarie715 on this channel there are 3 other openings statements.before this videos titled johnny depp v amber heard defamation trial opening statements
This is soooo awful. It's only the opening statement, and here she is already throwing out odd argumentations and justifications in addition to the totally cringy, desperate approval-seeking undertone of it all.
I just find it funny that in the defense's opening statements they claimed the plaintiff 's attorneys were going to make this case into a soap opera, yet all this woman has done I'd made this case exactly into that ams sounds like the the town gossiper.
She couldn’t show fear….that goes against the “fear’ she feigned when Johnny accidentally walked in her direction the other day. What a load of rubbish. I stand with Mr Depp.
Good observation. If you notice, she has her nose held high up and is not afraid of him at all. The body language says she's the dominating one. That's not the sign of a DV victim. If Johnny loses, I won't trust the US legal system. Have you seen the video where she appears to take cocaine during the live trial? Not kidding
Excellent observation. Forgot that role didn't she.
It's hilarious to go back to Elaine's portion of the Defense's opening statement and compare her claims to what was stated throughout this trial.
yea she claimed they "demonized" amber, while her whole opening statement was doing just that to johnny depp.
it is hard to believe that Elaine believed Amber without any hesitation in all those bs AH told her legal team. Were they so greedy that they decided to go for a trial even when they suspected AH was horribly lying? I'd say so.
@@dorotakucypera7642 Exactly what I am guessing.
I know I’m rewatching lol like wtf Elaine? She’s just as crazy as amber!
This woman seems VERY NERVOUS. ALMOST LIKE SHES GOT TO GET THE LIES OUT FAST SO SHE DOESN’T FORGET THEM.
She is all over the place almost like gossiping
😂 Lmao, she’s the town’s gossiper
the liquor bottle lolol 😭😭
I’m dying 😂😂😂
😅😅😆🤣
“ Amber was taught to not show pain or emotion” literally the characteristics of a psychopath 😂 her lawyers driving for the L on this one
That was said in regards to breaking horses. The act of taming horses by using violence and domination tactics to make the animal submissive through fear of you. It says a lot about who she is.
@@DazraelArianos which can also qualify as a psychopath.
@@camerondutton227 oh yeah. Anybody who abuses animals as a hobby has major issues.
@@DazraelArianos I think her father was arrested for dog fighting recently too...
@@metal.mellisa I don't know if the arrest was recent but it did come out recently.
I praise the jury for holding back laughter throughout this opening statement. She is the one who sounds like she has consumed wine before this statement especially when she's stumbling over her own words. Don't you practice before giving a statement on behalf of your client? What a mess!
I actually found myself really engaged in it. I mean, it was awful, all over the place, as an opening statement, but the woman is a great storyteller! It was like listening to a fiction audiobook.
This is the worst opening statement I've ever seen in my life.
The defense sound have ended it after the other attorneys opening statement. This woman just sounds like the town gossiper.
@@bonniehowell9206 not to stereotype, but she does look like it’s time to retire and go gossip with fellow old ladies 🤔
@@bonniehowell9206 It was pretty bad, but not the worst ever. She should have shortened the length by half.
And yes, she did sound like the town gossiper. I had the same impression. She is just rattling off names that mean nothing to the jury yet.
Mr. Rottenborn (Amber's other attorney) did a much better job for his part of the opening.

The evidence does not demonstrate the drama they have made it out to be it’s so interesting
Omg this lady is telling a story like she was there when it happened… but that’s what she was told 😂 she just sounds like a typical gossiper not an Attorney 🤦♀️ this sounds like a joke
My thoughts too
🤣😂🤣🤣right!!
Isnt that hearsay ?! 🤣 It was cute when Johnny Depp said that he was catching onto the meaning a little later in the trial. Best of luck Johnny Depp , your devoted fans believe in you. ❤
@@pamelasmith2142 Not just fans.. I'm not even his fan but I simply dont wanna see a man who clearly hasn't done nowhere near as much evil as she did be destroyed by the feminist lying propaganda. Hope she pays for all the harm she did and is made an example of.
HaHahaha
The cupboard door slamming video is actually very interesting because it shows him leaving the room when he got angry at her, with her running after him. He doesn't harm her in any way. It kind of surprises me that Amber's side keeps using it because it verifies Johnny's claims.
It lines up with what his sister said about their experience growing up. Their mom was abusive and would get in his face and he never ever retaliated. He grew up watching his mom do that to his dad as well.
Is that the same video where she laughs and smirks at the camera at the end?
I agree. He slammed the cabinet not her. A lot people do this and are not abusive toward their spouse.
@@meagana8218 yes
Did you watch the full version? As she is walking while holding the phone it shows her smiling. That was cut & not released for a while
Her opening statement is absolutely RIDICULOUS!!!! How is she able to use such vulgar language without being reprimanded!!!! I love how he looks so interested in this story.... like he's hearing it for the first time.
That's cause he is hearing it for the first time, most of this is lies. Her lawyer sounds like she should be on the stand and not her lawyer lol.
That’s what I thought too! It’s all news to him! It’s probably a lot of the truth just the opposite person. Otherwise where would Amber get all these extravagant hideous lies from?? I could only imagine how much self control JD has to have to sit there quietly while hearing these god awful lies that she actually did to him!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️
“They can not discredit one photograph” : Camille Vasquez already smirking 😂….
This woman is all over the map with her opening. Pick a path and stay on it.
Unfortunately there are so many paths. His life was a mess.
She doesn't even know what Arnica cream is so you can't expect much from her. She's sloppy and incoherent so I'm delighted that she's defending AH!
@@vonbonbonjager yep, they are making a mess of it and don’t know when to shut up . Not finding her team likable at all which is good for JD’s team .
No she is not. You just picked your side
@@Drawingboredi Yeah, that has nothing to do with it. It is about my opinion on how each side presented the opening statements. And yes, she very much was all over the place. 🤐🤡
Ever notice that when people are trying to portray a lie they talk and talk and talk and give as much detail as possible?………ambers lawyer
Yup... I thought that when the - looking at cold breath and dirty carpet. Also fecalphobia but yet also apparently cleans his butt when he's soooo messed up he's popped himself? Ummm.... keep your story straight.
😭🤣😂
So true👌 She's a mess isn't she 🤣🤣🤣
yep. you nailed it.
They also use a lot of exaggerated hand expressions. A good speaker is calm and keeps their hands in one place unless it adds to the point being made, even then is simple hand gestures, rather than failing them around like AH’s lawyer.
"They show hair pulled out of her hair."
Whoa, let's calm down, Elaine
This is painful to listen to 2 weeks later. Literally ALL lies. Elaine was definitely setting the stage.
I'm back to compare their opening statements and I definitely agree and the same goes for Rottenborn's opening statement.
He said something along the lines of "The op-ed wasn't about Amber and if it was wouldn't you think she would have gave more details about Depp or state his name?"
Turns out a witness affiliated with the ACLUb(with his emails admitted into evidence)stated the op-ed was about Depp and was revised numerous times to avoid violating the NDA . The only reason Heard didn't go more in detail about Depp was over concerns about the NDA.
Also, I'm sure you heard about the whole Milani makeup palette not being produced until 2017. Lol
The look on his face like "really? That's what she said?" He doesn't look nervous, he looks genuinely bewildered. I just know she lying.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 l agree. He can't believe the bs that he is hearing
Yes he knows is lies
He is looking like..HUHH??????
Agree.
I agree but he's also an actor... they both are. Gotta watch for the micro expressions Amber does these tiny and quick half smiles which shows how evil she is. Gives me chills.
So Johnny’s attorney talks eloquently and concisely and then this woman blasts the jury with EVERY single piece of crap that Amber made up, the judge should’ve told her to shut up, what an absolute disgrace! GO JOHNNY!!!
Johnny's lawyers: "The evidence will show this, this, and this. You will have to decide for yourself this and this."
Amber's lawyers: "MASHED POTATOES!!! 🤯😵💫😵🤪"
Wow you’d be a great lawyer just scream “shut up” to anybody who doesn’t back your premature crush.
@@shelbyreagle5613 right? She just goes mashed potatoes, broken glass and urine! 😆 SUCH BS. If the jury can't see right through this crap I worry for people
Attorneys can say anything in their opening statement. Clearly, Ambers attorney is just as pernicious as her client.
@@shelbyreagle5613 brb CRYING at mashed potatoes 😭😭🤣 I’m dead
I found it interesting how the lawyer in the opening statement basically told Amber's testimony verbatim. Amber did a great job rehearsing her lines.
I've never felt so much secondhand embarrassment before. It's so hard to watch.
Disgusts me how people are willing to stand up for abusers like amber, makes a mockery of actual victims of dv
@Theresa L. Dowling Amber? Is that you?
So who must represent her then? It's law, she must have an attorney,🤦🏼♀️
@Theresa L. Dowling ??? Don't do social media when high😃
@Theresa L. Dowling you're a person that directs xenophobic comments to people on TH-cam which makes you an abuser of sorts.
I can see how it'd be in your vested interest that a female abuser isn't called out.
💯 agree as a survivor of dv!!! I pray Johnny gets justice because it’s wayyy overdue!!!
“They grew up very poor… but lived on a ranch and rode horses.”
Umm, what?
WTF? I want to be poor like her too.
Horses aren’t cheap at all
😃🔫🤣😂🐴
I hope the horses are Okey
Right! I’ll take that kind of poor!
After watching the trial so far...all I can say is..."objection, hearsay!!'
Yes 😂😂😂
Lack of foundation, relevance, improper expert opinion…. Every objection that exist
the way that johnny kept himself together, held his composure and didn’t absolutely lose it on elaine while listening to all her lies is one of the most impressive things i’ve ever seen, if it was me i would’ve been kicked out the court room for laughing at her
He had 5+ years of living with Amber. He's had plenty of practice!
He has EVERY right to clear his name. She is the one who has been arrested for domestic violence. Not him.
He has 2 women that he was deeply in love with ~ one the mother of his children who have publicly defended him. At no time had he ever been abusive to either of them, the children or their animals.
He isn’t just the local guy down the street. What the public thinks of him affects major decisions in the entertainment industry. The Pirates franchise has earned Disney billions globally. So yeah, I think everyone has an interest in hearing the truth.
I'm gonna hold judgement until after see any evidence !!
I saw enough during their first go-round. She’s such the liar.
Just cause she's an abuser doesn't mean he isn't one too.
all the psycho narcs are coming out in defense of their 'sista' Amanda!!! vampires
this is he-said-she-said .. impossible to confirm what the real story is
Johnny's facial expressions just in the first five minutes just proves so much to me. He was genuinely confused about the things that woman was saying.
He's an actor and he knows his fans are watching.
@@thinkingallowed7042 so is amber that statement really isn’t viable when both sides have the same career
I actually think his facial expressions work against him. That’s typical of an abuser to act like the victim is crazy. As for the attorney statements, Johnny’s attorney read a written statement, while Amber’s goes into great detail off the top of her head. I don’t know who to believe yet, but that is my observation so far.
Amber is the abuser.
@@s.ferren9288 I mean if someone is saying something untrue about an individual and they can’t respond back verbally, they’d probably resort to making facial expressions about it. I can both imagine an innocent or guilty person doing that, so I don’t think it works for or against him.
Why do we have to listen to Amber tell her life story when her attorney has already told it all.
We needed to see the tears.
@@davincineptune lol “ tears”
I've heard about this opening statement. it's worse than I actually thought it was. Elaine sounds like a lunatic and is all over the place. how did she expect the jury to make sense of this?
My head is spinning...is this a case about domestic violence accusations or telling on Johnny Depp’s partying. This attorney is all over the place!! Probably one of the worst opening statements I’ve heard! Love watching Johnnys expressions!!
The look he made when she talked about the ring he was wearing 😂
@@justme9723 Hilarious 😭🤣😂
She's got a super annoying hard voice to go along with a love for lying and agressiveness. It must be an agony to be juror when that woman is talking.
It’s actually about neither it’s about defamation lol
@@berry2563 oh true, I lowkey forgot about that
This is by far the worst opening statement I've ever heard.
Right? I’m sitting here like oh man this is not gonna be good for her.
I'm bored lol
Hello Kaitlynn. How are you doing today
It sounds like she is following improv rules. "and then...and then...and then".
@@ECB2000 yeah! Like she made the opening statement right before trial... terrible. I'm listening to her questioning one of Depp's witnesses, and she's terrible at that too! No foundation and complete harassment.
Johnnys facial expressions are the best!!!! 🤣🤣

Just because a PHOTO is authentic, doesn’t mean it isn’t makeup, or self inflicted. Plus photos can be saved in one place then automatically saved in multiple places at the same time. Her defence attorney is literally proving nothing
thats wgat i was thinking too the whole time, also the woman literally said her makeup artist was able to make her look presentable for the show (idk if it was jimmy fallon or james corden) like youre just throwing yourself under the bus because whos to say that her makeup artist wasnt able to put those bruises there in the first place
@@manuellapetkovic4084 Exactly 👌
It’s prove she’s hired from craig list, as the other comment says
Also make sure the makeup you are showing and referring to even exists at the time Amber is using it to cover her bruises 😂😂😂 Liar Liar Pants on Fire 😂😂
One of their big arguments later is that any witness didn't see her messed up face (the one they showed to the media) BECUASE IT WAS COVERED IN MAKEUP, I smell redundancies.
He was fine his whole life until he met this trainwreck of a woman. His biggest mistake was leaving Vanessa. And even Vanessa is still on his side.
The thing is all this happened a few days after Jhonny's mom died.I thik she began to tease him to cause a fight even when he was in pain. She is so selfish
He publicly called Vanessa Paradis 'boring'.
@@luciaalfaro6893 apparently his mom wasn’t a good person either but she was probably one of the closest ppl to him

@thinking allowed
He has never called her boring and he has never mentioned that he was bored in his marriage.
What you're probably referring to is "sources" claiming he was bored of her but never an actual claim from him directly.
Media over sensalization as usual.
This woman is a good storyteller 😂
Tbh one would believe she lived with them all the while. “He slapped her again, she was in disbelief”😂😂 “She had a map in the bus and was ticking it”😂👍
That's what I was thinking! 😂😂😂😂 I swear the way she tells the stories is like she was actually there THE WHOLE TIME 💀
She's definitely entertaining!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Elaine is literally trying to get every single lie out and explain why the hard evidence against each lie will be wrong. I just cant with this. Its disgusting and bizarre.
There’s literally recordings of amber admitting to hitting him !! Double standards is ridiculous she’s a joke
Couldn’t show pain yet sitting there trying to bring on the crocodile tears
Either they're both abusers or she alone is. There's no outcome where she's innocent after that phonecall
Yep

OMG.."as soon as Johnny hired her back in 2009, she was able to afford Starbucks", where did this woman get her law degree?
They’re gonna try to imply that she was financially comfortable and wasn’t with him for his money 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏼♀️
Well obviously she can’t afford a decent attorney for herself, but I’m glad she can get her Starbucks at least. 😂Ambers attorney pretty much blew her case with that opening statement. What a joke! We support you Johnny!!
Lol 😂 in a cereal packet
As I said a cracker jack box
Wait what time stamp is that I think I missed it this women was boring me with her lies
If I were Johnny's lawyers I'd ask that this opening statement be stricken in it's entirety. All of this is hearsay

same lol
This old lady is frantic lol! One of the messiest “opening statements” I’ve ever seen. She’s been so unlikable throughout the entire trial so far… rude,condescending and just all over the place, clearly desperately trying to cover up her unhinged client’s lies.

Why are people so quick to defend Johnny? Don't we need to see the evidence before making judgement?
I agree she is not as innocent as she is making out to be….
SO YOU ARE WILLING TO DEFEND HIM JUST BECAUSE HE'S AN ACTOR YOU LIKE?! YOU ARE JUST A FAN OF DEPP, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TYPE OF PERSON HE IS IN REAL LIFE!
I can't believe a word this crazy lady is saying...she is so unprofessional...talking like she was there as a witness to all these dramatic events. She is obviously just trying to belittle Johnny. We love you Johnny...be strong!

As a lawyer I’m not impressed with this opening statement. Sounds like she’s rambling. Get to your key evidence…oh wait they have none
@@elizardw4900 HAHAHA dude I have a grandma w bipolar and this is exactly how she sounds lmao
I feel like the camera person is definitely on JDs side. zooming in on his disbelief at her crazy story telling.
urinating her horrible messages? Come on lady! 😂
I know like urine is a type of texting lol
Aight I googled it, seems to be an unproven accusation
And I could hear the exasperated breath noises as well. 😂
I know right. I am loving his facial expressions
Her lawyer is just dragging on the longest run on sentence ever.
Lol 😂😂 true it's so bad it's hilarious
This is called filibustering in the political world.
Lolllll yep!
Haha. You win the internet!
My heartfelt sympathy for the court reporter trying to keep up with this woman’s word salads.
Judge Judy once said the more detail to the story the bigger the lie. 🤨
Incredible. Mr. Rottenborn said in his opening that Johnny's team will turn this trial I to a soap opera. But it's Ellaine who's turned her openings into a terrible E-Book. I'm so impressed that Ellaine has memorized all those terrible lies.
We all know JD wasn’t the abuser. We heard exactly who was!
I got ya but Doing drugs and drunk is not abusive to your love ones? Just sayin.
@@YuTuboTuTubas not proven that he was doing drugs
@@YuTuboTuTubas from points of views I’ve seen she herself was controlling and abusive with a history of being abusive anyone would then turn to drugs and alcohol if it meant escaping reality for that second
@@YuTuboTuTubas are you experienced in using drugs and getting drunk?
O
Will be interesting to see Amber take the stand. Looking forward to it---I hope Johnnie's lawyer tears her to shreds.
That would be a real treat!
They definitely will 😂😂😂
Coming from the future: It's so amazing that it was clipped and has been replayed all over social media. 😄🤣
Comments that aged perfectly 👌
Objection: rambling
33:30 She straight up lied about the incident on the 21st of May 2016. She explained how the penthouse was trashed and that the officers saw the injuries on Amber's face and told her "just give us the name and we will go and get him". But so far both officers have testified that they didn't witness any property damage or injuries on Amber. And she was the one who questioned both officers so she should know what they testified?
Also didn't Amber do drugs as well ? Why is there literally no mention of her doing the drugs either??
Yep she did and I hope Johnny’s lawyers make sure they mention/prove this…especially since her joke lawyers main attack against JD is his admitted use of drugs and alcohol!!! As a recovering addict…being an addict doesn’t add always up to being violent, out of control, etc!! I am not a violent person at all and had addiction problems starting as a teenager
Well Johnny’s lawyer would have to bring that up, which is up to them, but its probably bad strategy. Her lawyer looks bad using his addiction & trauma/mental health issues against him so they probably would use a different route.
@@bettyberova4131 it was brought up in Ginas testimony but they had to strike it because she was following the trial before she made her testimony . She did touch on Amber doing drugs as well though, so maybe the jurors will keep that in mind.
@@abbydesouza4933 Yeah everything falls back on technicalities. Unfortunately a lot of said stuff about Amber might get stricken out because of everything that’s already out there which could prove bias. The court of public opinion might actually backfire & hurt the case.
someone testified that her and her friends took mdma at their bahamas wedding
Her lawyer said “she could afford Starbucks…she was doing pretty well for herself” 🤣🤣🤣
Yes phew.😓 Wonder if she is paying her attorneys in coffee?
Lol
That's what happens when you hire a whack Lawyer that that say that. Bad choice!
She was a highly paid actress and young beautiful woman,, why marry this old guy?
@@honeybunch5765 no they depending on Johnny having to pay them
Watching this a month later and I can see exactly how easy that verdict was for the jury!
This attorney has said "you're going to see" so many times in this opening statement that if you were basing a drinking game about it you would probably be either passed out or need an ambulance within 15 minutes of this 54 minute video.
That sounds like a good challenge. A shot for every promise.
@@JatPhenshllem Let's make it "The Mega Pint" challenge. Lol
She has to be the worst lawyer I've ever seen. That wasn't even a proper opening statement, she was just all over the place! The poor jury. Justice for Johnny!💜
Ah, but you have seen her!
sadly for Amber, this is the best legal mind she could afford....😈
She IS the worst attorney I have ever seen. An opening statement is supposed to be a summary of the case and what she is intends to prove. It’s certainly not meant to be a biography or bunch of gossip.
It’s entirely too long and unprofessional. When questioning witnesses she asks the same question 30 times and makes it unbearable to watch.
If anyone should be charged with a crime it should be this woman for the mental anguish she has inflicted on the witnesses and everyone having to watch her torture these poor people.
The first mistake you make as an attorney is make the jury hate your client. The second is to make the jury hate you. A civil trial is much different than criminal. It doesn’t have the same burden of proof. It’s more of a popularity contest. The jury doesn’t want to hand a bunch of money to someone they don’t like and that includes the attorneys.
Elaine Bredehoft in representing Heard, has been a disgrace. I was curious about her and discovered that most of her background is kept hidden..!!! including her age, her parents, and her marital status. Most of the sites mention her as being on "The Best Lawyers List", which is as much of a joke as "The Best Doctors List". Being on such list has nothing to do with accomplishments. It is a Con Game played by the companies that started such lists. I have had first hand experience in dealing with such Con Games. It starts with a phone call informing the Lawyer or the Doctor that they have been "Selected", and that they have to pay $150 or $200 for the framing of the piece of paper that says they are on the List of the Best..!!!..Some Lawyers and Doctors know it is a Con Game but still figure it is worth it to hang a piece of paper on the wall that says they are the Best. And, of course, you also have some Clueless People who figure it is real, and it is produced by the American Bar Association or by the American Medical Association....!!!
@@theowl3756 that is definitely a joke, the best lawyers list.. i also tried to look her up online and found nothing about her. Probably has never won a case! 🤣 the whole legal team is a joke just like AH. Can only hope the jury see through all their crap and finally bring justice to JD💜
Why is the lawyer, in her opening statement, allowed to tell what she thinks is the entire story as the truth without the legal process of providing evidence first and questioning witnesses? And why no one is stopping her? This is not a statement, this is tell all rant.
I agree. The judge should have nipped this in the bud. Its all heresay. The trial didnt even start and she is poisoning the jury. Someone shut her up!!
It's called an opening statement. You argue what you're going to prove, then put the evidence on during the trial.
🤣🤣🤣just let the lawyer embarrass Amber. It’s hilarious.
in the court in an opening statement, you haven’t been sworn in and you can talk pretty much all you want. although unprofessional, it’s not illegal
What the judge allows is what the judge allows, if it's within the legal standards it's acceptable. Opening statements are supposed to = "The evidence will show X". Every judge has their own tolerance for how much they allow someone to stray from that. Some you'd better have "the evidence will show" before every single claim you make, others just throw it in there once or twice at the start and it's fine.
The best part of Elaine opening statement is when she mentioned johnny changed the tattoo he had of amber from slim to scam. Epic
I trained horses. News to me about not showing fear, pain, or emotion. Don't know what training methods Amber's father was using for her to end up with 4 broken arms. Not safe, that's for sure. Crazy. Do we get to see the x-rays of those 4 broken arms? Btw, that makeup kit didn't come out til 2017.
It is very unlikely that Johnny Depp will ever read this but I wanted to say that I fully support him and that he should always have in mind that he has so many of supportive fans out there who love him because he is a wonderful person. Just keep on going everything is going to be okay we love you Mr. Depp and we will never stop doing that.♥️
YESSSSS!! WELL SAID!!! 👏👏👏👏JUSTICE FOR JOHNNY DEPP!!! HE’S A KIND SOUL…💯💯👏👏💯💯💕🙏🙏🙏
Johnny responded to me not to long ago so don’t be surprised if he does. Johnny thanked me for supporting him and he is a class act that does not deserve this evil in his life.
@@patg3424 there's a fake Johnny Depp account trying to scam people. Be careful.
@Sara Rossborough-Muhammad How exactly is Anne being a creep?
It's hilarious how they keep talking about his drinking...she was a huge drunk and druggie too
Lady Luck, thank you. YES. I made a comment about the very thing. She looks hungover judging her eyes
Yup, she even sent out wedding invites that said something to the effect of BYOB and drugs 😆
There are many interviews of her stumbling around and coming down.
He’s been with a woman like that before too and that was never abusive! I forgot her name but they were madly in love
@@nightowl_ Kate Moss?
Exactly
Her lawyers lied to the jury.
After watching most of the trial I missed opening statements so I went back to hear them. Amber and her lawyer hasn’t proved anything and both look foolish now.
I am doing the same and it is shocking what she is saying...her statement doesn't make any sense
Me too. This is all lies that came out.
I pray Johnny is redeemed
Me too. I was shocked to hear this rant.....she didn't prove any of it. Shameful!
I don’t believe for a minute that JD slapped AH for laughing at his tattoo. Come on 😂
you date him, he is available. so is marilyn manson
@@margomalik181 You wish
@@margomalik181 Great comment!
There’s a lot more to that story… he’s a major addict and she’s got BPD. Bad combo
I woud date him and im not into man.
This woman is making me SO angry. The way she’s talking. She is trying to paint Amber as a dutiful saintly wife. She would’ve been such a drunk and druggie too the swine.
Is she from legal aid?
@@unfailingcolt8928 😂🤣😆
I AM FEELING THE SAME WAY TOO.
How does one “urinate” a message to someone? 🤣🤣🤣
Look at Johnny, he's like where did all this come from, lol, this is the first time he heard this story too
I loved the relationship with Johnny and the main lawyer He often pulled Johnny back from showing emotion or even laughing. And them eating the candy was so cute and enduring. Johnny's a big smoker, so I can only imagine the torture sitting through 8 hours, 4 days a week, for 6 weeks in court; AND you can't smoke? Yikes!
There is so much evidence of amber being caught in lies so many people spoke against her even her own parents are with Johnny on this. Amber is a liar and her lawyer is literally a Karen
She looks like a Karen, and sounds like a neighbour entertaining gossip that she had just heard 😳 🤣 😂 it's ridiculous!!
this lady yells at kids playing outside for sure
Right. There's soooo so much evidence against her.... a TON. And all these people have is "drugs!!!". I mean honestly, it's been ridiculous for a while
😂😂 Karen 100% we need a Karen emoji 😂😂😂
As Karen I object 🤔🤣
This opening statement sounds more like a Karen at the nail salon gossiping more than a lawyer presenting a case
It does sound like the gossip you would hear at the beauty parlor that's for sure
Every time I watch Elaine giving her opening statement I see Camille and say to myself “if looks could kill!” ……….
"Loses control of his bowel" - but amber sh*ts in the bed.
For me, it's impossible to memorize all those stories if it doesn't happen to myself. She is telling a story like she have been witnessed all of those happenings. She puts too much details, that's why it's obvious it's a lie. You cannot just remember every tiny details.
Where and when did you go to law school? Lawyers have to be detail oriented.
@@whyohwhy9679 @WhyOhWhy ?
There is a saying when you are in court. Less talk less mistake.
Every details she provided was recorded and will going to analyzed by the officials in the court room of how she can able to say that? It's not all about being detail oriented, you need to have concrete proof/ evidence, and what she did was like convincing the people and the jury to believe that Mr. Depp is a bad person by saying strong words like "Monster". She just kept on telling made up stories, it's too much that her voice was just like a noise from neighbors who were providing false informations.
You can tell it's made up cause EVEN THE SMALLEST DETAILs She acted and it's really impossible to remember those. And also, even if it's not connected to the issue, she mentioned personal matter about Mr. Depp just to ruined him. We need a fact basis they do not have a proof, they are just their words who are fighting.
@@kmdhsgshdjufuekdnfhudjsh7566 Dude, I'm a lawyer and I'm familiar with the rules and what is required at trial. But thanks for the info.
They misread Arnica cream as amica.
Even though I don’t believe Amber is innocent at all I don’t agree with this statement cause I go into detail when I’m telling the truth
There is soooo much evidence against amber I pray the jurors see it
True, this is just the start.
@Theresa L. Dowling That was a libel case against the sun newspaper. This is a case against her. Different case mate
@Theresa L. Dowling actually the judge flat out refused to look at any evidence exposing Amber for what she is, and if you'd research that there are connections to her that explain why. That trial was a farce
@Theresa L. Dowling the judge who's son worked for Rupert Murdoch?
@Theresa L. Dowling you know what happens when you ASSume a bunch of sh**.
Just because a person in a domestic violence dispute isn't cooperating doesn't mean that the officers are just going leave them alone and move on. If that person looks like they sustained any type of injuries, they react accordingly including documenting any notice redress, swelling, bruises and will remove one party from the home. 3-4 Police officers have already testified that they didn't notice any marks on Heard.
I just find it awesome to rewatch that back after having saw and heard evidences and testimonies that she totaly contredict in her opening : telling that officers saw marking on her face or property damage and where really concerned for her while they never did and never reported it for exemple...
That's some audacity and dedication to the lies of a client for sure xD
“Over all these years…” Amber’s attorney. Those four words say it all. Let it go Amber! He’s a million times the human you think you are.
She’s lying. No way he did the things she’s said. Ie: that he drug binged & got drunk, maybe; they get into an argument, he beats her, and rapes her w a glass bottle…Next day she gets a book @ working on your marriage? BS!!! No woman would stay w a man after that for nothing & no amount of $$$! Bull fkn sh*t. I know of him thru long time family friends & no way he did those things to her. No doubts at all. He’s a super nice super mellow & loyal friend. She’s a mean spirited lying, conniving, greedy b*tch.
Poor Johnny. I know that we he did to Vanessa wasn’t cool but he didn’t deserve this. Really , really, nice guy. It’s painful to see & hear. No way he did those things. No one believes her.
But he's the one who's suing her...
@@giallogallo7023 to try and repair the reputation she so savagely destroyed. He doesn’t care about winning the money! He wants his name back.

I am siding with Johnny at this point. Amber has many unfounded allegations & unsupported ones.
Have you ve live with a drugaddict?
You should’ve supported him as soon as the evidence came out against her. I can read and see right through her

@@Dreamteamhot101 it honestly is and it’s so sad Johnny has to put his whole personal life out for everyone to know just because of amber. He shouldn’t have to prove these things. She made it very clear why she was in that relationship, for the money and fame.

My one word...CROOKED
@@misled6190 1 word: LOSERS
Gramma is animating her full body narrating stories as if she was literally seeing them.🤣
Elaine is making me feel physically ill…with her preposterous “ narrative “ . It is asinine, inaccurate, contradictory, disjointed and downright ridiculous…. But then again, so is her client…
I literally laughed out loud when she said none of the jury had watched more than three of her movies. Uh, has anyone? I myself have only seen her in Aquaman and trust me I didn’t go and see it because of Amber
A: I had no idea who she was
B: Hello Jason Momoa!
Would anyone know who this chick was if she hadn’t dated Johnny Depp?
Right?😂
Lol ......HELLO Jason Momoa(the only reason I was able to sit thru that awful movie!)
Honestly I had to google her and the only thing I’ve seen her in was the stoner movie Pineapple Express, she was Seth Rogen’s characters girlfriend. Pretty small part. 😅
She was in zombieland for all of 5 minutes, also didn't realise it was her in all the boys love mandy Lane but that movie is so awful I've been trying to forget it 🤣🤣
I didn’t know she made 3 movies. 🤓
Nope! I had no idea who she was prior to all this junk she drug up a few years ago.
Just started watching and holy cow 54 minutes. Was she trying to convince herself? Lol
She could afford Starbucks 😮 😂
I've done MDMA before. There is no way it would have made him violent. That drug litterally dumps your serotonin and you become overwhelmed with empathy. I could never have been violent on MDMA. All you want to do is talk about your feelings and connect with people. Thats ridiculous. Never in my entire life have i heard of or witnessed someone on MDMA becoming even so much as argumentative, let alone violent.
