00:00 Can you please tell the jury why you're here today?
00:02 Ms. Hurd accused me of abuse.
00:05 My ex-husband is suing me.
00:08 Brutal, cruel...
00:09 This is humiliating for any human being to go through.
00:12 ...and all false.
00:15 Amber Hurd forever changed Mr. Depp's life and reputation.
00:20 Behind the fame, you're gonna see who the real Johnny Depp is.
00:23 Depp was the one who wanted the cameras in the courtroom.
00:27 She didn't.
00:28 I would argue it's a PR campaign disguised as a defamation case.
00:31 There's the man himself.
00:32 It's been a social media circus of commentary from creators and influencers.
00:37 Did you commit any kind of prank?
00:39 Absolutely not.
00:40 On my side of the bed was human fecal matter.
00:45 This has moved away from a news story or a lawsuit.
00:55 And it's transformed into a cultural moment.
00:57 People are live tweeting.
00:59 People are live streaming.
01:01 Where does it end?
01:02 The engagement is phenomenal.
01:06 Videos can be very easily manipulated and republished.
01:09 We're being influenced by bots interacting with bots.
01:12 Johnny Depp is clearly winning right now in the court of public opinion.
01:16 I've never been so scared in my life.
01:20 She's acting.
01:22 This trial is about so much more than Johnny Depp versus Amber Hurd.
01:26 Why are we all so fascinated with this case?
01:28 Because they're famous, because of the details.
01:31 What did the jury see?
01:32 It just kicked me.
01:34 It didn't happen.
01:35 I don't know who to believe.
01:36 I was hitting you.
01:38 Mr. Depp is your victim, isn't he?
01:42 This is not so much about the legal merit, but rather what the public perception is.
01:47 And that leads us to the real question, which is what is the actual truth?
