It devolved from here where he tried to defend himself from other questions. "Maybe I'm wrong! Maybe you didn't say that! But I know you did!" The Judge clearly did not like him and had to admonish him a few times and from reports from people who were there, she looked like she felt uncomfortable being close to him.

Wayne asked a simple question "So you are not rendering any diagnosis on Mr. Depp here or any day?" The man broke. Lurch just was mouth agape, taking forever to fire off a response and said yes and then defended himself terribly again. Then said it was just a provisional diagnosis he made! Basically, Wayne just kept asking questions to see him spin his wheels and just devour himself.

Then Wayne points out he compared Johnny Depp's performances in the Pirates movies to the deposition he gave earlier, and he elaborates he compared it to other things too like commercials and interviews Johnny did. He then said he simply misspoke and he apologized.

"Did any of Mr. Depp's other portrayals in movies affect your analysis of processing speed?"

"Only if I've seen him interact on interviews. That's it!"

"Willy Wonka doesn't matter to you?"

The man straight up short circuited, made bizarre lizard motions with his mouth, and then asked the Judge if he had to answer that. B R O K E N

"You have to answer questions, sir."

Then Wayne asks why he called Mr. Depp an idiot in his deposition. He goes into this big explanation trying to defend it and Wayne just goes "So 'I mean, he's an idiot', those words are mistranscribed?" More defense. "Is idiot a professional opinion? Is it a medical opinion? Is it your practice to call people you diagnose idiots?"

I mean, you get the gist of this. This man was a disaster. Other stupid things are that he admitted to not knowing anything about using an ear piece in acting and collapsed there and said he was sorry and was wrong but that he would assume it's a sign of cognitive decline still. He said Johnny Depp vomited on himself as another example of cognitive decline and then he was like "That picture had ice cream on it." And then he said that he was TOLD that it was vomit (gee by who?) and that he was wrong and he apologized.

This guy was killed and buried. I think Wayne got a little too lost in the weeds at times, but he got this guy to melt down and admit he was wrong multiple times so I can't be too hard on him. The jury hated him, and apparently one of them is in the medical field because she was nodding a lot when Wayne was talking about the Goldwater Rule.

Elaine comes back to re-direct. She didn't do a good job rehabbing this guy because I think it was just impossible. She overstepped the bounds of cross. She was failing to properly ask questions. The Judge fucking hates her at this point and it shows. Like who even cares what they said on re-direct in general this guy is a clown and looked awful and Elaine fixed nothing and the jury didn't care.

Next up is Kathryn Arnold who is an "entertainment industry consultant" which is a fancy word for saying she is a wholly unqualified expert who cannot be fucked to do any work. This was another legitimately awful witness who proved absolutely nothing about Johnny or Amber. It was fucking crazy how bad this woman was.

Basically, she was trying to say that Johnny's career was ruined because of literally everything but Amber Heard's accusations and op-ed. Like come on lady. She's just trying to use hearsay to say everything she was saying was fact. When she stepped over there, it was objected to and sustained.

It was so bizarre because she alleged that every little thing with Johnny impacted Depp's career, but when she talked about Amber she was like "Okay, only THIS one article was the cause of her losing work." First of all, she knows nothing about what was going on in Disney and she claims there are no damages because he didn't sign a contract and the movie doesn't exist and nobody believes that shit. Second of all, they literally have reasoning from Amber's own talent agent saying the reason she was given for almost losing the Aquaman 2 role was because of no chemistry with Jason Mamoa. So what are we even doing here?

Just wild speculation from her. Supposedly the Jack Sparrow character ran its course. Supposedly nobody in the industry knew of the op-ed before Johnny sued Amber. Supposedly everyone in the industry was more upset about him being late to things and filing lawsuits. Just speculation. No actual evidence. Literally "trust me bro" the expert. It was so bad. But not as bad until she started talking about Amber's damages from that one article from Waldman.

She "accidentally" calls it the Depp-Waldman article, and then they have a big ol' laugh about it and only call it the Depp-Waldman article from now on and I don't know how that wasn't objected to.

See, with Amber's career, she was ascending and rising steadily. She interchanged between saying Aquaman was the highest grossing DC comics movie ever and saying it was the most successful movie and all kinds of nonsense titles. Like stick to just saying it is DC comics stuff.

"The press tour was doing well and they wanted to give her more press." Ma'am, there are two interviews where she was drunk or high off her ass and couldn't even answer questions properly. One of them was so bad they had to pull it entirely.

She claimed all of the 1.2 million negative tweets about Amber directly referred to the Waldman article which is so outrageous. Oh, and it was a "campaign" apparently, to try and destroy her.

See, Aquaman was Amber's Star Is Born moment, where everyone knew her and she was world-renowned now! But then they decided to not let her be in the movie, but now it was James Wan and Jason Mamoa who demanded in emails their support for Amber (nevermind that Jason Mamoa didn't even want to touch her in the days leading up to the original movie). And this person said there were no chemistry issues between Amber and Mamoa because they did a chemistry test before the filming of the movie and it turned out really well! Nevermind that the movie came out and was wildly panned for their lack of chemistry, and they literally used that as the reason they wanted to boot her from Aquaman 2.

Amber made $1 million for Aquaman 1 and then $2 million for Aquaman 2 and she said that if it weren't for that article then she would have been able to negotiate for more. What makes her think that? Fuck you that's what. She couldn't keep track of these numbers at all.

But she talked about how Amber's role was reduced in the movie exponentially and how does she know specifically how it was gradually brought down? Fuck you that's how. She could be lying about anything and all of this and nobody would know and the most we get from this is just what Amber has told her, which is wild. She did no research on her own.

She then listed some comparable actors to Amber Heard before this. Everyone, contain yourselves.

Amber Heard's career was comparable to:

Jason Mamoa
Gal Gadot
Ana de Armas
Zendaya
Chris Pine

These are the most comparable to Amber Heard's career trajectory before the Waldman article, according to this woman. Because she said there are so few examples of people who were in super hero movies, this is her sample size. If you don't buy this and think it's hilariously stupid, don't worry! So did the jury. Word is this is the moment they thought she was absolutely out of her mind.

But she said if her career kept going the way it was going to, she would have made $50 million in the time after the article. WHAT? Where is the other $50 million she wants too? Absolute lunacy.
