It's being paraded around the whole world because Amber lied and ruined Johnny's career and reputation. Not because they're celebrities. Plenty of celebs don't have this happen to them. She decided to air their private lives publicly and lie about it. That's the reason why this is happening.
Again, Depp's trying to restore his reputation from the slander/libel she used against him. The chances of winning a defamation case are slim and this trial is costing him millions, supposedly. He's not doing this for the money.
Also, she admitted to hitting him and he had that sliced finger. Still waiting to hear WTF he ever did to her, physically. She clearly seems worse. And is the one w/ a prior history of domestic violence.
We care about both, thanks.
And I care about this because, as Amber said, no one was gonna believe him b/c he's a man. Men are victims of domestic violence about as often as women (hell, most cases are mutually abusive and not just one abusing the other), but they're automatically assumed to be the perpetrator, both socially and by the actual law (Duluth Model).
Even when they're the victim calling for help:

It took Depp years, an utterly absurd amount of audio recordings, and millions of dollars just to possibly clear his name. Plenty of other innocent men w/ less means (and paranoia?) than him are falsely accused and are never vindicated.
OK, when did I say you can't care about both? I was stating the disproportionate care between the 2.

The fact that you felt compelled to post your whining in this topic means that you're literally a part of the problem that you're bitching about. If you truly didn't care, you would've ignored the topic and went about your day.
What? What kind of dumbass logic is this? Lmao
