Prosecution & defense have rested. I guess #TonyOrtega hasn’t been called to testify after all. Would have been interesting considering that his pre-trial « interview » with one of the Jane Does; was apparently published WITHOUT her approval & consent. #DannyMastersonRetrial
As @GrowingupinSCN said; this is NOT about drama it’s about his position to talk about what he knows & experienced with #TonyOrtega
I think this is very important to know. It wasn’t an interview apparently it was a phone call in CONFIDENCE that #TonyOrtega had with one of the Jane Does (alleged incident #Dracula2000) and was then published as an interview without her consent.
Some statements in said article were NOT consistent with her recollection of events & therefore lead to inconsistencies in her testimony. As AS said, it could have been an honest mistake that Tony Ortega made. He doesn’t know for sure.
I think I understand what Aaron was trying to explain. #TonyOrtega has been reporting on #Scientology for over 20 years. His reports are valuable because not many journalists are ready & educated enough to report on the CoS.
Journalism— shouldn’t be about being 1st with a « scoop »— it should be about acting as an amplified voice— a truthful voice with journalistic integrity— for people who need a platform to have their stories told.
These are only a few clips of @GrowingupinSCN recap for day 12. For full context & extended explanations— please watch for yourself on YT.

🪡 🍿#CryBaby the brilliant intentional « kitsch » movie— the pathway #JohnnyDepp chose to truly escape his unwanted « teen idol » persona.
What inspired the director #JohnWaters (Hairspray) to write the screenplay for Cry Baby— was the dark memory of the unsolved murder of one « Carolyn Wells/Wasilewski » in Baltimore—his hometown.
To find a young actor for the role of Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker—Waters bought a bunch of teen magazines, all of which showed #JohnnyDepp in 21 Jump Street (1987) on the cover.
🪡 🎥 #EdwardScissorhands played by #JohnnyDepp— Inspired by #TimBurton’s own childhood & drawing — his most personal work—
A masterpiece; blending humor, beauty, innocence & tragedy.
#GaryOldman was offered the role of #EdwardScissorhands — but just couldn’t understand the story & therefore declined. It took him to actually see the movie— a particular scene— that finally made him realize what #TimBurton imagined all along.
FOX offered the role to many other known artists/actors at the time— Including #MichaelJackson, #TomHanks & #TomCruise. But FOX really focused on #TomCruise. However, Cruise, apparently asked questions & made suggestions that even #TimBurton categorized as « weird ».
#JohnnyDepp had always been Patrick Hasburgh's first choice to play Tom Hanson—but Depp initially declined the part. Hanson was then cast with Jeff Yagher. However, FOX disapproved of his performance & halted the show for weeks.
#JoshBrolin was sought after by FOX, but Hasburgh preferred to offer Depp the part once more. Depp agreed to play the part this time, and Yagher's portions were reshot.
