  1. It's the fact most of em are persuaded by gender. Yes it's more common for women to get abused but everyone should be open to minded when it comes to abuse because even men face it. They're just stuck up feminist who can't accept that a man got abused. He was a gentleman and wasn't raised to hit a woman. Johnny has come from extremely hard times (in childhood aswell) and he is a humble person. Stop thinking that only women can get abused. If you think that only one gender can face any type of abuse, then you're a sucker fr.

  2. Seriously NBC??? I'm not a republican, I'm not a conservative, I am in fact very liberal. I'm a female and I'm a nurse. I watched the trial. Johnny Depp was definitely the one that was abused Amber Heard lied. Rihanna knows that. Why all the #Gaslighting ???????

  3. Another example as to why people are turning away from mainstream media.

  4. PLEASE ADD 🙏 JOHNNY DEPP

  5. NBC always in amber side Johnny prove is innocent by the COURT OF LAW this is her PR working hard to defamation against depp this woman not going to live him alone every time depp have some win she will be attacking with her stans depp prove by the COURT OF LAW amber was the abuser lier why NBC didn't reported all the people are supporting depp in tweeter NBC such crap and all this people in tweet against to depp they didn't watch the trial I have to read one she wS accusing depp for a cote amber heard using in court calling depp alfat and ugly the audio was play in court amber calling him that.and this girl saying depp call amber that ?? So you can tell they all being pay for spreading lies lies and misinformation they don't even listen to the audios anybody can go online and listen to them amber heard in her own VOICE ADMITTED SHE ABUSED DEPP AND STOLED MILLIONS FROM SICK CHILDRENS

  6. Go Rihanna!!! Don't be intimidated.

  7. So the man proves that he was being emotionally and physically abuse in his marriage and he’s the bad guy people are bugged out!! You need to get over yourselves Amber heard lied about everything

  8. NBC your beloved Amber Heard posted racist tweets in the past, but we who believe the victim JD are racists, rightwingers? Also white privileged rich Karen Amber Heard has beaten up her ex-wife in 2009 in public, at an airport and was arrested for it. NBY is a lying, warmongering, misandrist, racist network and of course brought to you by Pfizer.

  9. Efing mainstream media, sponsored by billionaires, phrama and the milliatry industrial complex. You lie about wars, you lie about the vaccine and you lie about Johnny Depp. Bu now people see through you, you dont control the narrative anymore. Journalism means doing research, you fcks didnt even watch the trial but keep commenting about it, keep disrespecting a courts decision. You keep lying although your own viewers call you out, you give a sht about them, because the money comes from your billionaires.Thats why peopel get their news now from youtubers not you.

  10. Look at the comments, same on twitter and Instagram. people believe Johnny and people ara thanking Rihanna for standing with Johnny and not the abuser. You are the only ones who still support a convicted abuser. You lost your power, you cant gaslight the people anymore, we all saw the trial , we dont trust you. Thanks to the judge for making this a public trial, this way we can see your lies. Rihannas show will hav the gighest ratings the day JD is on , I am 100% sure-

  11. Lying disgusting mainstream media, she didnt get backlash, she gets a lot of support for standing with another victim of DA, namely Johnny Depp. Again you are twisting the truth, again you are disrespecting the courts decision. Stop gaslighting the people-

  12. Doesnt anyone know that Amber Heard STOLE Rhinna's horrific story of sexual abuse by Chris Brown? I repeat: AMBER STOLE the story Rhianna told; Amber USED Rhianna's pain to lie about what Johnny didnt do to hrt. Word for Word.

  13. I think it’s sadly fascinating…I mean seeing this backlash is probably why lots of people WONT come forward with claims even in this day & age. Like JD was vindicated in count yet the media still seem to want him to fail.

  14. Right only difference is Johnny Depp was found innocent Chris brown was found guilty so not really comparable .

  15. Domestic abuse survivors helping each other is a good thing. Rihanna is not backing out, she understands johnnys pain as well as those delusional freaks that still somehow support the abusers.

  16. It’s just Eve Barlow being a bot for amber turd.

  17. So they are still going at it? I thought it was done and over and now I am seeing this. No news here actually have to look for it on the computer. Amazon car hop trays.

  18. Second chances NBC really he was a victim just like Rihanna. Main stream media is such a disgrace you should stop supporting Amber the actual abuser. NBC keeps trying to put down a man that had his life ruined by a vindictive woman who lied. If any of you had actually watched the trial you would see how disgusting your behavior is. I don't support NBC and will continue to speak out on your bias.

  19. Main stream has lost credibility in my eyes. Sigh

  20. The angry ones are herds lapdogs

  21. UNIVERSAL CRIMINALS…..

  22. Who told you about this backlash NBC? Was it one of your reporters, Kat Tenbarge, who used a little girl running a fan account on twitter as a source to explain court documents and a scam artist to analyze hate on YouTube? 😑 She seems to love picking fights on social media and acting like a PR employee instead doing actual journalism. And why bring up old backlash with Rhianna related to some Islamic text when that has nothing to do with the conversation? 🤨

    Edit: I also noticed at 0:14 two of those accounts are Amber Heard fan accounts that have said some very nasty stuff about JD and his fans too. But thanks for the "unbiased" reporting. 😑

  23. The title is wrong, it is meant to say "We, NBC, are salty for all the support JD is getting." Because we wasted our time supporting the wrong side and now have to live with our decision. We can not just simply apologize and move on. We will keep trying to push a narrative even though barely anyone is complaining so we can pretend we never lied and speak for the people(which is really NBC because who cares about normal people when we are NBC; whatever we say, the people must follow)." Who ever still believes journalism represents us, the people, must be thinking about a time in the past. That is sadly no more.

  24. Typical MSM always pushing fake outrage,JD was the victims, I wonder what will you do when your old viewers die off. There will be no one else to push your bs to, like your complicity in protecting corrupt politicians who loves lining their pockets with lobbyist bribe money.

  25. Maybe you people should watch the dam trial Amber is the abuser.

  26. Are you y'all crazy, this man was found innocent, smh!

  27. Notice the shirt and the eye rolling by the host. All men are abusers and no woman can lie, even when the evidence says otherwise.

  28. Go Rihanna!!!! She picked a great choice having Johnny Depp in her show.
    👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

  29. the parallel is that she and johnny are victims of domestic abuse. guy wins a court case against the abuser and you bots still group think against him.

  30. If you're not going to explain to the uninitiated what a Savage X Fenty is, the story has no context. What is this about?

  31. So embarrassingly petty.

  32. AH is pure evil, a covert narcissist. They are he'll, I was raised by a mother with this disorder and only two years with a man like this have gotten me suicidal for 50! years.

  33. Don't go against Rhi. WTF weirdos. There are too many MF issues from everyone in a cancel culture. That's coming from a GenX perspective. Yikes almighty 😬

  34. MSM needs to stop with biased coverage against JD! He was ABUSED by AH, and MSM just can't accept the truth.
    GO RIHANNA👍! We'll be watching!

  35. She chose well and with good reason! Johnny Depp proved he was the real victim in his relationship with his ex. Good on you Rihanna! Ignore the trolls!

  36. How can people still defense Amber, when she lying in court. And they proof she is lying, and there is tapes, that she don't act like a victim. I agree with Rihanna.
