Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard Case The Full Story
The court trial of the Hollywood celebrities Johnny Depp and Amber Heard was perhaps the most popular in the world. Surprisingly, it wasn't even a criminal trial. It didn't have a direct impact on people's lives. Still, people all around the world were very interested in the personal lives of these celebrities. During this trial, fan bases were developed. "I support Johnny Depp." "I support Amber Heard." Some people say it is an injustice against women. There were references to #MenToo as well. How men are falsely accused in such cases. In today's video, let's find out what happened. And what it reveals about our society. I'm curious if you expand a little bit on the Amber Heard-Johnny Depp verdict. I'm here because I stand with Amber Heard. What did Miss Heard say about the defecation in Mr Depp's bed? What have you lost as a result of Miss Heard making these allegations against you? Nothing less than everything. All of you would be familiar with Johnny Depp. He's a popular Hollywood actor. He is known for the eccentric characters he has played in films. His most famous character has been Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. On the other hand, Amber Heard is also a Hollywood actor. But isn't as popular as Johnny Depp. Some of the famous films she was in were Justice League, Aquaman, Never Back Down, Drive Angry, and The Rum Diary. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard met on the sets of The Rum Diary in 2009. In her court filing, Amber had said that they had started dating in 2012. This was the same year Johnny Depp announced his separation from the singer Vanessa Paradis. Johnny and Vanessa have 2 children together. Lily-Rose and John Christopher. Around the same time, Amber split up with her previous partner. And in 2014, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard got engaged. The following year, in 2015, the two got married. The marriage didn't even last 1.5 years. In May 2016, Amber filed for a divorce. When the divorce was granted by the court, it even issued a restraining order against Johnny Depp. A restraining order meant that Johnny Depp couldn't contact Amber Heard, couldn't meet her. You might wonder why the court issued such an order. Because Amber Heard had complained that Johnny Depp used to physically abuse her. That he would be violent towards her under the influence of drugs and alcohol. She cited one such example when she claimed that Johnny threw his phone at her it hit her face injuring her. But a spokesperson of the police told People's Magazine, that when the police officers investigated this complaint, they found no evidence in support of the claim. Johnny Depp denied all such accusations. Johnny's lawyers claimed that Amber was trying to negotiate the divorce settlement by making false accusations. so that she could get more money for the "abuse". In August 2016, Johnny and Amber reached an out-of-court settlement. Accordingly, Amber got $ 7 million. The newspapers then reported that Amber had donated half of the money to a children's hospital in Los Angeles, and the other half to the ACLU, American Civil Liberties Union.

Why I Hire Foreigners Over Nigerians to Manage My Lagos Restaurant - Tracy Nwapa
It is something that I've been definitely noticing a lot more of and I'm happy to hear one business person's reasoning on why this is the case. If you go to a lot of high-end restaurants or businesses in town, you'll notice that while a lot of the staff are Nigerian, the management positions are usually filled with expatriates (i.e. foreigners).
