A HUGE Difference
In the Media
It is my opinion that Amber Heard was trying to pull an O.J. Simpson. Be acquitted of a crime she had committed.
There is a large difference in the cases though. Simpson got off as he had earned his name in the NFL, at this time, outside the USA he was only another coloured actor in a small part in a low-budget film. Having earned his money in the NFL, he could afford a lawyer, with a dubious record, to twist his case, and muddy the facts enough to cause a hung jury.
Amber's error was to attack an actor who is well-respected in a mass media world, where he has millions of fans. If she had the presence of Eva Green, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, or Kate Winslet, she may have got the publicity she desired; as it was Johnny Depp had public support.
Ms. Heard could view the press coverage with the attitude of Irish poet, Brendan Behan, who said, "The only bad publicity is your obituary."
