Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a Jono and Ben podcast. Spilling the tea on Hollywood's A-listers. Kardashians. I have met every single one. Exposing scandals. She's not a good person, but either is he. Digging the dirt. Is she a diva?
Starting point is 00:00:13 Yes. And finding out what's going on behind the scenes. Yelling at cast members. Yes. It was a script. No. His identity is a secret. But his stories have been proven right time and time again.
Starting point is 00:00:24 This is NT. The big news this morning that everyone's talking about. It's all over the media. The jury has found Amber Heard did not defame Johnny Depp. He's been awarded $15 million in damages. But she has also won sort of council. She's got $2 million in damages back.
Starting point is 00:00:40 So it's all a wee bit confusing. And we're joined now by our Hollywood insider. He has all the filth on Hollywood. He's not washing their hands. He hasn't changed their bed sheets, that sort of stuff. His name is NT. How are you? You know, we're talking so much, I feel like we should be dating at this point.
Starting point is 00:00:55 I know. We know all your hobbies and interests, which is celebrity scandal and gossip. And you know that we're just desperate radio hosts. So big news this morning. Obviously, it's right around the world. The Johnny Amber Heard defamation trial. It's been in the media for probably the last six or seven weeks. So he has won, but she's also won a little bit as well.
Starting point is 00:01:16 What's going on? I always thought that Johnny would lose. And I'm not alone in that. And it's not about the personalities or anything like that. It's just basically about the elements that you need to prove defamation. And I don't think that he proved them. That being said, you know, a jury said, no, I think that he did prove them. One of the issues that Amber's legal team did not do a very good job on at all. They got so caught up in the whole cult of personality. Let's talk about the drug.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Let's talk about the drinking. Let's talk about how much money he spends on this stuff. Let's bring in all of these people, all these people. And they never focused on just the elements. And just to say, look, if he ever touched her in a violent way, he loses. And that's all they really needed to prove. And they already had a court case.
Starting point is 00:02:13 They already had the UK. They had Johnny Depp sued the son. It wasn't Amber. And so he sued the son and lost. One of the other things that we can take from this is Amber Heard was sued because of an op-ed, an editorial that was published in the Washington Post. He wasn't suing the Washington Post, though. He didn't sue the Washington Post. And the reason he didn't sue the Washington Post was because they have bottomless pits of money because it's owned by Jeff Bezos. So he knows
Starting point is 00:02:40 that he would have no chance. So let's go ahead and we'll just sue Amber. We'll totally ignore the fact that it is, you know, the Washington Post. Interesting, isn't it? So how much would they have both spent on legal fees? It seems like it would be obscene. It would be millions, wouldn't it? Because it's been going on for weeks and then all preparation time for how he had a team of lawyers. Yeah, I mean, you're talking five weeks of trial. I would imagine that whatever money was won was also what was spent on legal fees.
Starting point is 00:03:09 And Johnny won. He didn't get everything he asked for. He got $10 million in compensatory and $5 million in punitive. And Amber Heard got $2 million in compensatory and zero in punitive. It will be appealed. If you're Johnny Depp, I wouldn't count on the fact that you're going to get that money. So, OK, so we have been hearing about it for the last six weeks. As I say, I feel for everyone involved.
Starting point is 00:03:29 There's no real winners here because you just feel like all these people have had their dirt exposed to the world. But now it's going to carry on, you're saying. So it won't be the last we'll hear about it. It's not. And, you know, I think Johnny wanted the publicity and he wanted, you know, hey, if I'm going to be down that I'm going to take Amber down with me. And like I said, if you go back and you look at when they were together, Amber, you know, trying to get him to drink, Amber's being horrible, Amber's doing this. And she was. But that that has nothing to do with the fact that she still shouldn't have lost this case, because all she had to do was prove that one time just once that he did something that could be called domestic violence you know it didn't have to be you
Starting point is 00:04:11 beating her or anything it just had to be something will johnny get his career back after this you reckon johnny dip you know he's got some offers and things like that but will will he ever get the big headlining movie again you. Do you want him out there? I mean, you could say, oh, well, look at all the fans he has. Look at all the fans that were willing to pay $10,000 to sit in the courtroom and stuff. So, of course, they're going to go out and they're going to buy his, but his last movies haven't done well. Well, E.T., thank you so much for your time this morning,
Starting point is 00:04:39 and we'll look forward to catching up with you next week when I'm sure there'll be more things going on in Hollywood just like this. All right, I'll talk to you guys You guys have a great weekend Jono and Ben On the hits For more podcasts From the Hits Network
