The accusations have flown back and forth - today ends the case between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard | Culture | DR Today is the last court day in the case between the two movie stars and the ex-couple who accuse each other of partner violence. Are you on Team Johnny Depp or on Team Amber Heard? Or are you just well entertained? For the past many weeks, it has been almost impossible to avoid video clips and crazy memes on social from the lawsuit between movie star Johnny Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard, who is also an actor. On TikTok and YouTube you have been able to follow the case directly several hours a day thanks to live streaming from the courtroom. In other words, you have been able to patch the case in you both on the bus on the way home from work and on the toilet. Now, however, the case is drawing to a close, because today is the last day of the famous lawsuit between the two stars. , there is a very special reason for this, says Line Nybro Petersen, who is an associate professor and researcher in fan culture at the University of Copenhagen. can imagine us. And then we are just allowed to see all their flaws - they are the ones who will be exhibited in this lawsuit, she says. explains the researcher.- The fact that it is being livestreamed is quite important for the case to explode so much on social - for the same place as one can consume this lawsuit, one can also comment on it. And it does not even have to change platform. It all started when Amber Heard in 2018 accused her Johnny Depp of partner violence in a column, which put his million-dollar film career on standby. That led Depp to sue her for defamation and a claim. about $ 50 million to ruin his career. He also lost his villainous role in 'Fantastic Creatures' - a role that Danish Mads Mikkelsen took over. This afternoon Danish time, the jury then withdraws to make their decision on whether Amber Heard has deliberately tried to harm Johnny Depps reputation with false accusations of violence.If a decision lands on Friday, however, is as it can take the jury anything from a few minutes to several days to vote. the role of Jack Sparrow in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films and the role of Grindelwald in two films in the 'Fantastic Creatures' series. The role of Grindelwald was taken over by Mads Mikkelsen in the third film in the series, 'Fantastic Creatures: Dumbledore's Secrets' . The film premiered in early April. But should a case of partner violence be entertainment in the way we have experienced in the last many weeks? At the association Live without violence, Louise Glerup Aner, director, says that it is good that there is talk of partner violence. However, she also adds an important but.- We think it is important to emphasize that partner violence is always serious, and therefore must be treated seriously. At the same time, it is important to talk about partner violence - both for individuals who are exposed to it and in society in general - because it can make us wiser and also increase our ability to provide assistance to the parties. - But having said that, we believe also that it is important that the collective conversation about partner violence is knowledge-based, because it is a complex size, and it is important that we understand that part, she says. it namely flew with accusations between the actors. She has accused him of being violent, but he has also accused the ex-wife of committing partner violence against him. hug on the social, says associate professor Line Nybro Petersen.- Many of those who participate in the chats on livestreams and Youtube, are people who have thrown themselves into the debate because they can see that here you can be allowed to bully loose. Here they can exhibit Amber Heard's perhaps not so pretty pages in a way that is completely limitless. from only old Johnny Depp fans who have taken his side in the conversation about what's up and down the case.Depp supporters argue that he is the victim, she is the villain and that men who are victims of partner violence rarely Line Nybro Petersen, Associate Professor Johnny Depp has had the advantage from the start that we know him so well from film and. At first it was therefore fans in the classical sense who supported Depp, but now there is also another and new type of fans added.- They can see the possibility of promoting some political views by taking his side. So they take on a fan sticker to mark a political conviction, says Line Nybro Petersen. Their political, says the associate professor, is a showdown with. a part of . Depp supporters argue that he is a victim, she is the villain and that men who are victims of partner violence rarely speak out, says Line Nybro Petersen and adds: - But the same fans' treatment of Amber Heard on social underscores that problem , who in his time tried to deal with: Namely, to sacrifice for being suspected of being liars, manipulative and out for money when they tell about experiences with. © Ritzau ScanpixAmber Heard is a 36-year-old actress from the USA.She is known for her role as Mera in the film 'Justice League' from 2017 and 'Aquaman' from 2018. She plays the same role in 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom', which is expected to premiere in 2023. She also starred in the film 'The Danish Girl', which was about Lili Elbe, who was the first person in the world to have a gender reassignment operation. In that film, Amber Heard played the character Ulla. So it is not only the juries that today discuss who is right - no doubt many of those who will follow the case on social Friday afternoon. But we must be careful a little about assessing everything possible in such a case, it sounds from Lev without violence.- This with cultivating individual cases can very easily become a question of who is right - and it can often be based on attitudes and immediate impressions , which is not necessarily knowledge-based or qualified, says Louise Glerup Aner. Such a case here may well discourage others from telling about their experiences and deter them from seeking help. Louise Glerup Aner, Living without violence that makes us wiser, she believes - and the consequences can actually be great when everyone suddenly comes up with their opinions.- When trying to go in and judge in such a case, there may be the risk that it deters others from opening up and tell about own experiences with partners old.In advance, being exposed to partner violence is often associated with guilt and shame, she says, and therefore it is very important how one is met and recognized by the surroundings.- So such a case here may well deter others from telling about their experiences and deter them from seeking help - for fear of being judged by or the people they seek help from, says Louise Glerup Aner. But what then becomes the aftermath of the trial? Line Nybro Petersen is in no doubt about that. Of course, the outcome of the lawsuit could have an impact on Johnny Depp's career if it does not fall in his favor, but he will hardly be unemployed forever. - It seems that there is so great for Johnny Depp at the moment that no matter what the outcome of this lawsuit may be, I think it's quite likely that we'll get Johnny Depp seen on screen again. Because it's so massively popular to him. It's a little harder for Amber Heard, who does not have as flashy and long a career as his in the bag. Amber Heard has to put his trust in "that Johnny Depp fans throw themselves at something something sooner or later ", it sounds from Line Nybro Petersen. - But the consequences of this lawsuit she will probably have to live with for a long time yet. And that, unfortunately, becomes the signal to victims of partner violence no matter what may be true in this case. The price of saying it out loud can still be quite unmanageably high, says the associate professor.
