Reputation is Everything
Even though this trial became somewhat sensational in nature, let’s not forget the reason why all of this started. Defamation is when someone tries to damage the reputation of another, which is what both parties are claiming against the other, on top of other allegations. But either way, if you look at it now, it seems unlikely that either actor is going to come out on top, regardless of the result.
It is no secret that the internet rallied behind Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp for the duration of the trial. And there is no denying that Heard has not received the same courtesy from the public, but rather she has received the opposite. At the end of the day, these are the things that are going to hurt their careers more than anything else.
