the fact that Depp was happy to settle is so telling honestly he got exactly what he wanted from that whole situation and can just put it behind him without a care on earth. i genuinely hope hell exists just so that he suffers for eternity
i should say more accurately he was happy to settle WITHOUT AN ADMISSION OF GUILT. he did not go through this for justice, he did not go through this to have the article and allegations against him ruled inarguably to have been defamatory. he did this specifically to have amber smeared in the public eye, to rehabilitate his image, and to force her to relive her abuse. he doesn’t care whether anyone believes it was defamation or not. he only wanted to make the world forget that he is an abuser.
