Johnny Depp Against Amber Heard The story of two Hollywood stars who accused each other of domestic violence and made comments around the world during a live-streamed defamation lawsuit on the Internet. In the spring of 2022, this media frenzy was accompanied by an unprecedented online campaign of hatred and defamation against the American actress. Behind the usual mockery of social networks, in reality, lurks a campaign organized by groups of angry men who have made hatred against women their priority for years: the masculine…
What is the purpose of this survey?
Cecile Delarue: Above all it is educational because social networks are often the only source of information, especially among young people. As a French correspondent in Hollywood between 2010 and 2019, I saw America’s transition from Obama to Trump and from simple beautiful plants to activists to actresses. But during this hearing, I was intrigued by the wave of hatred towards Amber Heard. How did the web manage to make fun of a woman survivor of domestic violence so brutally in the midst of the emergence of #MeToo?
Why such a step back?
Depp’s defense has found the support of masculine, these extremely violent men on social networks whose sole purpose is to break #MeToo. Like Weinstein’s example of the big bad, they found in Amber Heard the woman who lied and did anything to prove it and question the words of others.
Did social networks influence the court decision?
Who knows ? One thing is for sure: jurors are not prevented from seeing what’s going on online.
