  1. So they're saying it's ok to lie a pretend you're a victim?

  2. Jurors always go home, this isn't the first trial that they did . . .

  3. No victim of abuse is going to video their abuser, especially when they are in an anger rant. The kitchen video is all the proof I needed to see, Depp is clearly not abusive, and Turd is pushing his buttons; if she feared him, she would NEVER go where he is having a fit of rage. She would have been slaughtered.

  4. Kalhan decided to pick and choose what she reported. Not great "journalism" here. There are thousand, upon thousands of women who have said Amber has harmed DV victims. Johnny was awarded $5 million in punitive damages for being DEFAMED. That is HUGE, and speaks volumes – DON'T MAKE FALSE CLAIMS.

  5. AH is/was not a superstar.

  6. Wrong!!!! Why are so many mainstream media companies telling this stuff. Did any of you watch the trial?? I watched everyday of the trial and even went to the trial. Amber Lied!! She hurt DV survivors with her lies!!

  7. Fakers beware. Weaponizing the legal system is a form of domestic violence. If your a victim come forward, if your planning on manipulating the court, jury, lawyers, media, public, it's not gonna be so easy anymore. How about you cancel your evil plan and put your energy on self growth, oh yeah, you don't value that, life is a competition and you need to win.

  8. NBC : AMBER = VICTIM
    PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD : WTF!!?? IT'S EITHER YOU'RE BLIND OR JUST STUPID.

  9. 2:20 "Other domestic violence survivors" Is she referencing Johnny Depp? as it is crystal clear that Amber was telling lies

  10. Such biased reporting that alludes to the fact that men can't be victims of domestic abuse. How shameful!

  11. These media absolutisms are so damaging. When you ask about DV survivors, it includes MEN and WOMEN and you use the term as if « obviously » there can only be the one = WOMEN. Which is enforces the narrative now that if you’re a female victime, no need to show evidence and tell the truth. You should just be believed by default of your gender. -_-
    Secondly, female DV survivors are individuals of their own, so to say that « they feel » afraid of coming forward due to this verdict means you’re lumping people’s very different experiences and opinions into one category of a stereotype label. And it isn’t true that all DV survivors feel that way MAN and WOMEN. For many of them this wasn’t a set back. And for those who say it is, it’s not for the same reason. It’s because AH lied and made a vile use of female victims’ story for her own evil intentions to destroy someone. What you’re doing is such a lazy, pathetic, low hanging fruit, unprofessional tactic. It’s unethical spread of information. You’re failing at your journalistic job and not living up to your vows to present the truth. Your callous, irresponsible spread of inaccurate and manipulated information is shameful.

  12. How much did amber team pay u NBC. There are literally tons of dv victims supporting Johnny depp. They even made video online explaining how amber heard does not seem or act like a real dv survivor. If you're going to report on the matter, present both sides. Otherwise it's clear to people you're trying to push your own narrative.

  13. They’re just trying to
    Continue the drama lol, good for their ratings ..

  14. Why would some victims of abuse be concerned about a verdict going against an lying, manipulative, narcissist who physically assaults people throughout their adult life? Doesn't make any sense.

  15. You are wrong, I know more DV and SA victims that hate that Heard made it harder not Johnny. Weren't you there at the trial like everyone else. She is a liar. I am a survivor. Stop lying or people are going to stop watching you. Most people are tired of News Media lying or skirting the truth.

  16. Why don't you talk about the crap ton of survivors who identified with Johnny Depp, who are celebrating the ACTUAL abuse victim getting justice. 🤨

    You know – instead of victim blaming. BAD Johnny Depp! How dare you clear your name by telling the truth! It's YOUR fault Amber Heard crapped on MeToo by making false allegations! It's YOUR fault she's a narcissist liar.

  17. this is a massive set back for women coming forward.. many will never seek help or speak their truth after the circus social medi has made of this trail 😞

  18. She said she hit him! so who is the victem? And are you saying that if a man is the victem he shouldn't report it

  19. Which abuse victim? Amber or Johnny? Total BS.

  20. NBC NEWS:

    (CORRECTION): "AMBER HEARD IS "NOT" A SUPERSTAR"!!!
    MOST PEOPLE ON "SOCIAL MEDIA" HAVE NEVER "HEARD" (👈pun) OF HER!!!
    ("Fact Check")

  21. jonny depp is the victim of domestic violence and he won , justice
    big step for dv victims, justice is on the side of the truth

  22. So lovely to see an attorney accuse jurors of being dishonest. Didn't she go out of her way to thank the jurors BEFORE the verdict?

  23. Oh man 60 likes and almost 8 million views. 😂

  24. This is purely disinformation this video this video must be taked down. Unbelievable!!

  25. Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days

  26. Simping for Amber Heard is pathetic even for NBC

  27. They're basically picking which tweets to broadcast, there's also tons of people who work with victims and are victims themselves that don't think it will have any effect. Even if it does, nothing should stop justice.

  28. Reported to YouTube for misinformation . 99% of those victims report they are happy that the real victim – Mr Depp received justice and the violent abuser and defamer of his character Amber Heard was found guilty.

  29. Nobody's "afraid to come forward" you liars. But I get it, you backed the wrong horse and now feel stupid about it.

  30. The media has proven itself to be completely ideologically driven and evil during the course of this trial

  31. If you can't see past that crazy beach I fell sorry 4 your momma lol…

  32. ‘So many DV people are heartbroken with verdict’ Q-what’s your source? A- Trust me bro 😎

  33. Johnny Depp WAS the Victim of domestic violence. NOT Amber Heard!

    I can't comprehend where or why anyone would think or believe from the way this case ended will in any way be detrimental against the "Me Too Movement" or in anyway prevent future DV victims from speaking out. Johnny Depp did just that and the legal system did what was right and not just heard him but also believed him.

  34. How can you say that victims will not be able to come out and spoke. This is all about truth. It has nothing to do with gender. This verdict has proved that.

  35. Johnny Depp proved in court that he was the victim of domestic abuse and violence. If #MeToo can't get behind that, because of his gender, then #MeToo is a joke. Amber Heard sought out the company of James Franco, while her husband was away. Let that sink in, while you vilify Johnny Depp just because he's a man.

  36. YALL MAKE IT SOUND LIKE JOHNNY WASNT A VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!?!?!?!?

  37. oh, don't be silly man. amber heart lied everything that is why she lost . point!!!!!

  38. You do realize Amber recorded herself after breaking off Johnny's finger right? She was the abuser in the relationship, and she's still lying about it.
    Why is the media helping the abuser?
