60 minutes

Barnaby Joyce was Agricultural Minister of Australia when Amber Heard was charged with smuggling Pistol and Boo into the country in October, 2015. He told the dogs to buggar off back to America and threatened to euthanize them.

Well, Barny obviously hasn’t forgotten about Johnny Depp or Amber Heard. He told 60 minutes Australia: “Hey, Johnny, look where your life ended up, old trout! They might be royalty in Hollywood, but we don’t give a toss about that.”

From the beginning, the Aussie documentary seemed heavily slanted toward Amber Heard’s version of events, showing pictures of Johnny sleeping on the floor and sleeping on the couc”h covered in her ice cream, her incessant blathering about how he beat her up and pulled out clumps of her hair.

I watched, waiting for the show to give Johnny equal time, but it didn’t really happen. While the show didn’t try to predict the outcome of Johnny’s libel trial against the Sun, they did say with certainty that everybody involved walks away “stained.”

Me, I disagree. Throughout the course of the trial, with all the evidence being made public every day, there has been an increasing outpouring of support for Johnny Depp, while Amber Heard’s public opinion took a heavy nose dive. People waited outside to give Johnny flowers, while all Amber got was boos. I think Johnny will walk away vindicated, win or lose. The world knows what she did to him, now, and there’s no going back from that.

I’ll give the show some credit, though. While they played Amber’s whining about being abused, they did show pictures of Johnny’s actual injuries, albeit fleetingly, and playing the tape where Amber admits to hitting Johnny repeatedly.

They made repeated use out of that TMZ video, where Johnny was kicking cabinets, as that’s just about the only “evidence” Amber’s team could present that he was ever violent. And I was less than thrilled when it was thrown out there that Johnny might have shat in his own bed and said that he was self-immolating by bringing the libel proceedings.

Ultimately, the show insinuated that both Johnny and Amber are guilty, and that they’re both damaged, no matter who wins.

What the show seems to forget is that this case isn’t between Johnny and Amber. THIS case is between Johnny Depp and the Sun tabloid. Amber was just a witness. So there’s no way that Amber Heard can win, here. I’m sure she’d claim victory for herself if the Sun prevails, but such really is not the case. Despite her narcissistic need for attention, not everything is about her.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t finish watching the show. With about 10 minutes left, I decided that I’d seen enough of the both-blaming game they were playing.

HERE is the show, if you’d care to give it a look yourself.
