Hey, folks, guess what! We’re human!

The court in Fairfax, VA has issued an Opinion Letter dismissing most of Amber Heard’s counterclaim, and upholding only a few bits of it. But the parts where she mentions this petition say that:

“The allegations that “Mr. Depp has initiated, coordinated, overseen and/or supported and amplified two change.org petitions: one to remove Ms. Heard as an actress in the Aquaman movie franchise, and one to remove her as a  spokeswoman for L’Oreal” fails under the second prong of the VCCA. See Countercl. Paragraph 6. Nothing in that allegation implies facts showing that the change.org petitions included obscene language, threatened illegal or immoral acts, or suggest or propose obscene acts. See Va. Code 18.2-152.7:1. Likewise, the allegation that Mr. Depp “created, coordinated, controlled, and/or manipulated social media accounts created specifically for the purpose of targeting Ms. Heard,” also fails under the second prong of the VCCA. See VA code 18.2-152.7:1. The pleading fails to demonstrate that the social media accounts communicated obscene language, suggested obscene acts, or threatened illegal or immoral acts. Because neither of those allegations meet the second element of the VCCA, they cannot move forward in this litigation.”

So the court didn’t buy all that nonsense about Johnny Depp  being responsible for these petition and all us “Russian bots.” So even the court recognizes how ridiculous that claim was.

The only bummer about it is that now, I probably won’t be called to testify that Johnny Depp had nothing to do with the creation or maintenance of this petition. I was kind of looking forward to that.

There's a lot more to the letter, addressing more about Heard's counterclaim, but that's the part that deals with this petition.
