There isn’t much going on between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard these days. There isn’t any new news about Johnny Depp’s appeal in the high court of London regarding his libel suit against the Sun tabloid for calling him a Wife-Beater.

And there isn’t much new that’s going on in Fairfax county. A few new subpoenas or motions get posted now and again, laying all the groundwork. But nothing too earth-shattering.

Johnny seems to be upbeat, carrying on with the task of being fabulous Johnny Depp. There are whispers of upcoming projects that might include the Addams Family and maybe even Beetlejuice.

Amber Heard has been keeping up the appearance of being an active actress and relevant activist, putting her speaking services on the market. For a mere 30 grand a pop, you can hire Heard to give a motivational speech about surviving hardship, civil liberties, or some such.

Neither one of them seems to be addressing the upcoming defamation court case. Maybe there’s nothing new to talk about, or maybe they’re both playing the long game.

Me, I think it’s the calm before the storm. We still haven’t seen the majority of the footage from the Eastern Columbia building’s surveillance system, and we’re waiting with bated breath for the Toronto tapes. When those hit the public purview, nothing’s going to be the same.

Why didn’t we see this evidence in the Sun trial? Because the Sun had nothing to do with the Eastern Columbia building. The Sun had nothing to do with Toronto.

Too many people lost sight of the fact that the Sun trial wasn’t between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. It was against Johnny Depp and The Sun. Amber Heard was only a witness.

The Fairfax, VA trial is between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. As such, ALL the evidence comes into play. And I sincerely doubt that we’ve even scratched the surface with all the evidence we’ve seen so far. If I were on Johnny Depp’s legal team, I’d save the best for last, pulling out the aces when the time’s right. When it’s so damning that Amber Heard will have absolutely no defense. When it will well and truly screw her, finally revealing her for who and what she is, what she did, and holding her accountable for it.

We want to see the worst of it so that we can commiserate with Johnny and support him. But we also want him to prevail. We want him to win so that he can clear his good name, once and for all.

Wait for it, folks. Things might be quiet now, but I’m betting that the very best is yet to come.
