Johnny depp interview

Amber Heard has asked a Virginia judge to throw out her losing verdict against Johnny Depp and order a new court case, claiming the judgment wasn't supported by evidence during the trial. Lawyers for the 36-year-old Aquaman star set out a 43-page motion, claiming Depp "proceeded solely on a defamation by implication theory, abandoning any claims that Ms Heard's statements were actually false". Calling the verdict "excessive", the document went on: "Ms Heard respectfully requests this court to set aside the jury verdict in favour of Mr Depp and against Ms Heard in its entirety, dismiss the complaint, or in the alternative, order a new trial." The court case came to an end on 1 June, with the jury finding that a 2018 article Heard wrote for The Washington Post , about her alleged experiences as a survivor of domestic abuse, was defamatory towards 59-year-old Depp. The jury of five men and two women reached the verdict unanimously, saying Depp had proven all the … [Read more...] about Amber Heard calls for new libel trial against Johnny Depp after losing multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit

Popular podcast host Joe Rogan said Monday that he had shot down several opportunities to interview former President Donald Trump on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” explaining, “I don’t want to help him.” Rogan discussed politics and comedy — among other things — during a July 4th appearance on Lex Fridman’s podcast, and the topic turned to the former president . “The Trump era is also going to be one of the weirder times. When people look back historically about the division in this country, he’s such a polarizing figure that so many people felt like they could abandon their own ethics and morals and principles just to attack him and anybody who supports him because he is an existential threat to democracy itself,” Rogan said. Fridman asked whether Rogan believed Trump had caused the division or that he was more like a “symptom” of the division that had already been present beneath the surface. “You said it got real weird. Maybe it’s gonna get weirder,” Fridman said, at which … [Read more...] about ‘I Don’t Want To Help Him’: Joe Rogan Says He Shot Down The Chance To Interview Trump — More Than Once | The Daily Wire

Viewers of Good Morning Britain praised Susanna Reid for holding Dominic Raab to account after reports Boris Johnson was briefed about allegations about Chris Pincher. Deputy Prime Minister Mr Raab appeared on Tuesday’s show where Susanna and Ed Balls quizzed him on whether Mr Johnson knew about the allegations of inappropriate behaviour. Mr Raab appeared uncomfortable during the questioning and pushed back when Susanna said Mr Pincher had been ‘found guilty’ after an investigation into the claims. He told Susanna that ‘no formal disciplinary action was taken’ against Mr Pincher, despite the investigation having upheld the complaint. After a back and forth over whether it was acceptable to say he was ‘found guilty’, Susanna asked him: ‘Was he guilty of inappropriate behaviour or not?’ Mr Raab responded: ‘He was found… the claim was found to be substantiated but we didn’t-‘, as Susanna interjected: ‘So he was found guilty of inappropriate behaviour?’ ‘No, … [Read more...] about Susanna Reid praised for ‘absolutely skewering’ Dominic Raab in car crash GMB interview

A former civil servant publicly accusing a Prime Minister of lying is a rare event, but Baron McDonald of Salford is unlikely to have had any pangs of guilt about calling out the man who effectively ended his career . During his time as Boris Johnson’s Permanent Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office, Lord McDonald - or Sir Simon, as he was then - was suspected by Mr Johnson of running a spying operation and orchestrating damaging leaks about the then foreign secretary. Mr Johnson believed that media stories accusing him of being lazy and failing to attend properly to his red boxes of ministerial papers were being briefed by Lord McDonald’s department. When the Foreign Office merged with the Department for International Development , Mr Johnson, by then Prime Minister, saw to it that Lord McDonald was squeezed out. So when he had the chance to expose Mr Johnson’s Downing Street operation for what he says is a lie over the Chris Pincher affair - an undeniably important … [Read more...] about Lord McDonald: The former civil servant who ‘never saw eye to eye’ with Boris Johnson

Buckingham Palace and the Sussexes appear to have called a public truce over a controversial bullying report, after its contents were kept secret from the public . The Palace has blocked details of a report into the handling of bullying allegations made against the Duchess of Sussex in 2018, with its limited findings kept hidden from even those who contributed. In response, the Duke and Duchess will make no public comment on the unresolved allegations, despite previously authorising the strongest of statements defending Meghan. The unusual silence on either side has led to speculation that the Palace and Sussexes, who work closely with their lawyers, are both moving to downplay the long-running dispute . Both sides are understood to be hopeful of drawing a line under the episode. Those involved in the review, said to be around half a dozen one-time members of staff, have so far remained tight-lipped about the details of the Duchess’ alleged behaviour in 2018. 'We will … [Read more...] about Uneasy truce as Prince Harry and Meghan keep schtum over bullying report
