Did Amber Heard concoct her SA claim against Johnny Depp from details of what happened to her assistant, Kate James, 26 years earlier? See this thread for what Kate says. #JusticeForJohnnyDepp
Kate James was a personal assistant to Amber Heard from 2012 to 2015. In the English case, Kate explained that she was the victim of a violent SA in Brazil 26 years earlier -- and that Kate had shared those details with Amber. deppdive.net/pdf/nw/witness…
While testifying in England, Kate James said that Amber Heard took the details of what happened to Kate and "twisted it into her own story...." deppdive.net/pdf/nw/JDvsNGN…
Amber Heard's 5th statement to the English court recalls conversations between herself and Kate James about what each had experienced, and that Kate told Amber not to refer to herself as a "victim" but as a "survivor." deppdive.net/pdf/nw/witness…
Kate James became upset when she "discovered that Ms Heard had in fact stolen my sexual violence conversation with her and twisted it into her own story to benefit herself." deppdive.net/pdf/nw/witness…
But Kate James did not explain what "documents" she reviewed. Amber Heard's statement to the English court about her claim that Johnny Depp committed a SA against her in Australia was made in a confidential proceeding. deppdive.net/pdf/nw/JDvsNGN…
Kate James confirmed that she had not seen the confidential statement by Amber Heard. So what did she documents did she that led her to conclude that Amber had stolen her story?deppdive.net/pdf/nw/JDvsNGN…
Will Kate James be called as a rebuttal witness by Johnny Depp to explain what she told Amber Heard? That would be powerful evidence if the details Amber used in court on May 6 match what Kate shared about her SA 26 years ago.
Channel 4 alleges Russell Brand engaged in sexual misconduct in the workplace, which it says was well-known and sometimes enabled by producers. If true, this includes C4's own shows in 2004 to 2007. C4 now admits it does NOT have all the facts.
Channel 4 says "is appalled to learn of these deeply troubling allegations, including behaviour alleged to have taken place on programmes made for Channel 4 between 2004 and 2007. We are determined to understand the full nature of what went on."
As C4 admits, it does not fully understand what happened. So why air the program about Brand? I am not questioning the veracity of the accusers. I do not know what happened. I am pointing out the conflict of interest and the incomplete investigation.
The Michael Oher story is heartbreaking. In the court petition he filed today, he explains how he was told that he was signing adoption papers as an 18-year-old, but the family's attorney put him under a conservatorship.
Michael is suing his supposed adoptive parents, Sean Tuohy and Leigh Anne Tuohy. In July 2004, after Michael became an adult, the Tuohys presented him with what they called adoption papers after they had taken him into their home.
Instead, the papers were an agreed petition for the appointment of the Tuohys as his conservators. It was drafted by attorney Debra Branan, who they all called Aunt Debbie.
The perjury and perversion of justice case against Amber Heard advances, with the Australian government confirming today that it has received evidence statements from US-based witnesses.
Thanks to @Paris2804 for obtaining a letter from the Australian government on the status of the investofation. It was sent today and confirms the DOJ/FBI have cooperated in obtaining evidence and providing that information to Australian investigators.
The Australian government needed the help of US law enforcement because witnesses to the alleged crime reside in the US. This important step of gathering evidence from US-based witnesses has been accomplished.
Amber Heard sued in federal court for making an insurance claim for Johnny Depp’s defamation judgment, and for refusing to cooperate with the insurance company in defending the suit. Read it here.
Amber obtained insurance in 2018 from New York Marine and General Life Insurance Company with $1 million of coverage.
The policy covers damages caused by Amber that injure another, including defamation. No coverage is allowed for a willful act by Amber. More on that below.
The Depp-Heard verdict remains safe and sound, despite a leaked court filing making further allegations against a juror. Amber Heard’s claim that Juror 15 is an imposter is sus. See this thread.
The Deadline headline that the verdict is in “chaos” is sensational but untrue. The court has not addressed the fake juror allegation, and there is no legal merit to the claim.
The July 8 court filing was leaked to Deadline. The document does not appear on the court’s website, so how did Deadline get it? Probably from the same person who wants the public to believe the verdict is in chaos.
The list of prospective jurors says Juror 15’s birth year is 1945 but Heard points out J15 “was clearly born later than 1945. Publicly available information demonstrates that he appears to have been born in 1970.”
Heard’s lawyer concludes: “This discrepancy raises the question whether Juror 15 actually received a summons for jury duty and was properly vetted by the court to serve on the jury.” She claims Juror 15 may be an impostor.
