Eve you are ridiculous. This is not about Johnny Depp being a celebrity, or whatever scissors hands you are going on about. Never watched any of his movies to start with, furthermore it could have been the neighbour down the street; a victim is a victim, and an abuser is an abuser. We have listened to Amber side for 6 years! When she came out we immediately believed her, ‘because women support women’. But the truth is, our movement, our sweat and tears was instrumentalised consciously or unconsciously by someone who suffers from mental illness, is in denial, and wanted vengeance. She went on and on how she did not want any of the money her ‘abuser’ had given her and that she had donated it all (verbatim) split between charities. Now apparently she had pledged, but pledged and donated are not synonymous and the pledge was never signed. That lie was unrequited and honestly speaking, evil. She abused a man for years and then accused him of abuse, knowing that as a woman no one would believe the actual victim who was a man.
This whole situation is disgusting, Johnny might have said some fucked up things, but who hasn’t; I definitely have in life but that is not evidence of me being an abuser. She lied under oath in the U.K. for which she definitely will be persecuted, she also has abused previous partners and honestly the list goes on and on. If you are truly her friend, guide her and get her to get help.
And, now directly to you. I will say that, you were not compassionate when you doctored an old Instagram post to make it seem as though a witness had been communicating on socials contrary to court orders. You purposely got a key witness dismissed but now you want what? Fairness? Understanding? Because the world has finally seen the type of people you and Amber really are? This isn’t a joke, this is a case of domestic violence, where the victim suffered even the loss of a limb and got MRSA twice as a result. But, you are here doctoring Instagram post and publishing articles asking for understanding? Where is YOUR empathy? WHERE IS YOUR UNDERSTANDING? I honestly don’t have anything more to say, I hope you get prosecuted for your disgusting actions in court and I’m happy you and Amber have been exposed for the disgusting, vile and sorry to say borderline inhuman actions towards people.
So basically, no I don’t feel sorry for you, but from today onwards I do feel indifferent.
Thanks for providing Exhibit A regarding what Eve is apparently being subjected to. Histrionics and ad hominem attacks aside, the key witness was dismissed because she violated the basic rule against watching any of the trial before her testimony. As the instagram post proved she had also done at an earlier trial. Even if it was an old post, it was still relevant to show the attorneys at the current trial so they would know to ask if she repeated that violation here - as she did! Eve obviously loves and believes her friend. Even if she ends up being wrong on the facts (it happens, but IMHO unlikely here), to me her integrity and courage is self-evident. If I'd found such a post during testimony against my friend, I hope I would have shown it to my friend's lawyer even at the risk of being barred from the courtroom for texting. Go Eve!
Happy (and inspired by you) to act on my gratitude for your advocacy on other issues. However, this 61 y/o Jewish Orthodox lady has to say that diving into the online rabbit hole of JD vs. AH in order to address a troll was definitely not on my 2022 bingo card! Vicariously accompanying you on your journey is a wild ride, but I’m here for it
I was unsure what this post was referring to until I read your comment. I do not know much about all of this but what I do know: 1) In general, women (including myself) have neither liked nor, as you write, listened to Amber for the last six years; we did not and do not want her to be the victim. 2) The media 100% manipulates stories so Eve knows more about this than anyone getting their information from the media. 3) We are all flawed and have blind spots but not many of us have integrity. 4) Eve has demonstrated again and again that she has integrity.
The general prevailing pathological need to silence and eliminate women and our voices comes from all corners. The world’s misogyny is loud and clear, and it comes from all communities. Keep the faith, Eve, you give me so much strength. Sending you unconditional support and love from Chicago.
Eve, Like many of your fans, supporters, readers and Jews (and non Jews) who are here for you in any way that a fan base can be for someone...i have no idea what has just happened to elicit this article. Beautifully written, of course, eloquently stated, naturally...it is still about something that I dont know of. Like many who commented here, it might be the Depp/Heard case. If that is it...I think it is fair to say that the people who stand WITH you, are not going to TURN on you for any opinions you have, share, explore or post. I can tell you...like everyone here who is commenting, that i am horrified that you have been tarred and feathered in some way that has left you so burned. Your community STANDS WITH YOU! Please let that resonate. Keep doing what you do. Sending you unconditional support from Columbus, Ohio.
I’m 63, Jewish, and adore your energy, tenacity, openness, and fierce love of Israel and Judaism. I truly only know the “you” I relate to, that you’ve shared stories I relate to, but experiences I’ve only dreamed of. I am not brave like you. And I’m sorry that your courage in the face of such constant adversity is causing you to suffer. Your cause is just. If I could ease one burden, know how much you’ve touched my old terrified heart. I am a witness to the karma of my ancestral line. It is tumultuous times, but necessary for any real change. You have a place to rest wherever I am. Now, Oregon. Tomorrow? Maybe the EU to assist refugees. Please know you’re loved. 💕
I am sorry that people feel the need to question your opinions, friendships etc. You owe no one any explanations; I always know that what is put out into the media has an agenda and there is more to all stories than is portrayed, especially in cases such as this. Wise people reserve judgement realizing that they don’t know what they don’t know.
I'm proud of you for standing up for what you believe in, for whatever that's worth. I'm in awe of your strength and loyalty. I know nothing of the truth of the case, and I understand that I know nothing. Having watched a movie or two and enjoyed them doesn't make me his bestie.
It seems to me that people think if they defend him obnoxiously enough, he'll notice them. I mean, I thought if I cheered loudly enough, Becks would turn around and leave Posh for me.....when I was 12. Some of us grow up and learn that celebrities are people with lives, lives in which we do not register, lives in which they make choices and mistakes and are good/bad people, entirely apart from the roles they play.
We don't own them, and we don't know them.
I would hope the community would grant you the same grace that they demand of the world. You are so right.
Thank you for being a warrior for all the causes/people/communities that are important in your world. I find myself in some communities, I find allyship in others, and I find myself outside of the conversation sometimes.
I thank you for being brave enough to allow us to see multiple parts that make you whole.
Last year I changed part of my instagram bio from "always optimistic" to "never apathetic, often awkward." I think I'm finally ok with the change. Thank you for being an inspiration.
Indifference destroys everything good. My mom and nana survived WW2 in impoverished London. I was raised by strong, compassionate women, and a very artistic dad who brought us to America and taught me how to love and be myself. No matter how much I knew and learned of WW2, reading "Night" impacted my heart greatly. Stay strong Eve. ox

100 percent. You’ve got supporters out here. Keep doing what you’re doing.
From a random subscriber who adores your writing and your strength to stand up for the Jewish people. Sending love.

Stay strong. I have only a vague idea of what is going on, but know you have many many hands on your back.

Another random subscriber & fan here. I’d want you on my side in a fight.

Hang in there. You have my support.
I’m sorry to be out of the loop but who is giving you a hard time and what motivates them?
The sinister music from that Wizard of Oz scene is now playing in my head!
