Fans of Johnny Depp crowdsourced thousands of dollars to see unsealed court documents that contained even more allegations and embarrassing claims against the former couple. It may have backfired.

While an initial analysis of the document dump — more than 6,600 pages — doesn’t seem to do Depp any favors, four legal experts tellthat what people are seeing are all the explosive allegations and potentially embarrassing claims that Depp’s lawyers successfully kept out of the trial.

Andrea Burkhart, a lawyer in Washington state who had garnered 50,000 YouTube subscribers from content primarily devoted to covering the trial, raised the funds by Jacobs ultimately testified about Depp’s conduct, as did his ex-girlfriend Ellen Barkin who told the court about Depp’s alleged drug use during their relationship in the late 1990s. But a claim she made in a 2019 deposition about Depp allegedly giving her, never found its way to court, according to the unsealed filings.

Los Angeles attorney Ryan Baker says Depp’s team appeared to have the upper hand due to clever legal maneuvering, such as Depp’s team fighting hard in pretrial motions against having him undergo a psychiatric evaluation, which Heard had done.

The Unsealed Court documents have shown nothing negative toward Johnny Depp. megcelu's editorial confronts well the various misinformation spread around over these documents. You can read it right here. JohnnyDeppWon JohnnyDeppwins JohnnyDepp

The more u keep lying about the truth that occured in Court & what was exposed about JohnnyDepp's ex-wife, the more u are proving that ur rag has an agenda to silence & demean men's voice. The truth is in the courtroom. Watch the trial. JohnnyDeppWon

Rubbish! The unsealed court documents have revealed nothing negative about Johnny Depp. Get your facts straight. JohnnyDeppWon JohnnyDeppWins

Boycott Rolling stones

So disappointed in ... you know...writing the TRUTH won't hurt your readership...in fact, I'm certain it would skyrocket it ...but alas, we will never know!! 👎👎😪 cowards!!

JohnnyDeppIsALegend hasn't cared what you write since summer 2018 (when you wrote 'The Trouble With Johnny Depp') 3 still - I'm asking because I'm myself curious - what's with your headlines being multiple complete sentences these days?

You are becoming a laughing stock in the industry. Cant remember when last I have read an article that was worth it. Totally biased and hidden agendas, no desire for the truth.

Lmaooooo it backfired for the media, that's for sure AmberHeardIsFinished JohnnyDeppDeservesAnApology

Backfire? Why dont you talk about how HD fans are treating britney spears?

justine_collns May have LOL

Damn....that was a big nothing RS! When did you become a waste of time?

Do you think JD cares about some embarrassing things?he just went through a trial that he knew stuff would come out.he also knew the unsealed stuff would come out.he just wanted to prove he’s not a DA or SA perpetrator and he proved he wasn’t.i don’t think he cares what you say

For a moment, I thought RS was on to something huge. Then I looked further into it and concluded that RS is talking out of its anal sphincter.

This is disgusting. The unsealed docs showed us nothing that made us think any worse of Johnny. If anything, they made us think worse of the defendant. Rolling Stone, get back to talking about music because you clearly don’t have the intellect to apply critical thinking

Rubbish!! Shame on you RollingStone I have no respect for you!! Done! BoycottRollingStone the magazine not the BAND! JohnnyDeppDeservesAnApology AmberHeardIsAPsychopath

It absolutely did not reflect bad on him. It did however reflect bad on AH and her lawyer. The bias you are showing is painfully obvious. And the reason I canceled my subscription to .

No it didn’t. It made Amber and Elaine look like an even bigger asses. And I wasn’t even sure that was possible.

Opinion is synonymous with shill media in this case

I think it's more embarrassing for Turd as she's been outed as k1lling her friend in a car accident & being a groomer & predator. That should be your story but hey, keep trying to ruin Depp. Most likely Turd types working at RS which is why they're diverting to smear Depp instead

Not true at all!

Wait a minute. Amber spent the whole trialing saying ' well if you could see the unsealed documents I have medical reports and proof of evidence. And now we see them, and it further proves Amber had absolutely nothing its now JDs fault? LMAO. You couldn't write it.

Straight garbage. This isn’t journalism.

Looks like somebody got paid this time. Not Just Pledged!!

The only backfire is it gave the PR wave something to refer to from AH’s side. Fact is there is nothing of value in there except the fact AH team can lie even more about things. Because nobody checks facts anymore. A major publication should do much better on that front.

Definitely didn't backfire. I don't know why this always gets twisted, I don't know what Johnny Depp did to deserve it, but all you're doing is making yourselves look foolish. The truth is out, you're fooling nobody. AmberHeardDeservesPrison

Yet again u keep forgetting Johnny fought for the documents to be unsealed while Amber wanted them sealed🤦🏽..It's funny and stupid to think him wanting it unsealed was also him trying to hide things🤣🤣..

Aren’t you the publication that did an entire front page exposé on a UVA rape story that never happened?

It never backfired because it's not true. The only reason it seems that way is because piece of trash journalists and publications like you and yours refuse to print the truth.

The judge unsealed the documents. The crowd funding was to download the unsealed documents. The excess was donated to children's hospital of los Angeles.

I hope every celebrity and artist sees what you are doing here. And never give you an interview again. Once respected now nothing more than an disgusting tabloid.

JohnnyDeppWon and your smear campaign is not working in the public opinion, neither her stans bullying celebrities and companies who support JD. AmberHeardIsAPredator

Am guessing your source for this article is not the actual document itself, but the threads posted (which are out of context, misinfo & cropped ) by the defendant's supporters Anyways the document revealed her true colors even more

He won. Stay salty

Yes we did. So what?

Johnny Depp People want everyone to lie to fit their narrative, you did it yourself and the document revealed that we were deceived, we were blaming the victim and I personally regret it AmberHeardDeservesJustice

DiamandisLa Depp stans will scramble to find anything to make Amber look bad, meanwhile people supporting Amber don’t even have to try bc that man & his fans are doing it themselves 💀

No, it has not. God, this is so tiresome. And we are not 'eager' and are not all 'fans'. But since the media and some very loud twitter trolls keep spamming fake news, everyone who has a a little bit of a backbone HAS to stand up against it. And thats why we are still 'here'.

Is that why Johnny Depp was okay with unsealing those documents whereas Amber Heard fought like hell to keep them sealed? 😂

Millions of people are going to realise they have blood on their hands cheerleading for this man

And here are the DeppFans, desperate for him being innocent😂newsflash: He is not!

Atleast we know who shits 💩 on their marital bed, cheats, lies, manipulates, abuses their partners, found guilty by the jury in court and best of all overusedfloppyfishmarket

Guess no one at Rollingstone read the court documents. How you can support the defendant after everything from the trial and documents is rather worrying.

I will never not laugh how this backfired😂

Rolling Stone source now are Twitter Tolls.

💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

.The STORY is why are msm going so hard like this for an Heard? An abuser? Why are msm so relentless in trashing the jury system, the verdict, genuine victims, independent journalists, lawyers and the public who actually watched the trial, and the truth That's the real story

.This is wrong! This is misrepresenting what occurred Do better The documents support the verdict Why are msm gaslighting the public over this trial? It's getting really obscene

You know what else I would like to see? One, just one mainstream publication or media outlet tell the story of how she lied to advance her own social standing and promote her career. So. Ok he gave her a kick in the pants. Now what about her violence.

Actually if you bothered to read the documents you would see they show even more evidence that Amber Heard is an abuser and fraud!

You’re reporting on tweets What has happened to real journalism. What an absolute joke article.

Uhm sure sure cheyenneisround

Backfired last time I checked Amber is still owning 10 millions to Johnny for defaming him with malice 🥳

It didn’t backfire at all, we can’t help that the people that say it did can’t read court documents. And if you’d done any kind of investigative journalism your article would read so differently. It’s sad the msm can’t report facts

Also--Kate Moss is an absolute witch...she lied by omission to aid an abuser, hurt a woman who she likely was very jealous of. Moss & Depp had huge public & private fights, where he was violent, arrested, jailed in NYC. Disgusting. Jury never knew.

Nah it didn't backfire, it showed more of Amber heard in the bad light.

Shocking piece of journalism, oh did I say journalism, I meant copied from some other publication who copy from another etc etc

Good to see your news is totally useless.

AmberHeardIsAPredator

There are reasons why that bullshit never got into the courtroom.

Weekend paid placement at Rolling Stone must be dirt cheap. 'Wah wah wah, why won't anyone trust legacy media? '

Have you read the unsealed documents. Just cherry picked? Seems that's what journalist do in 2022

I am a sub and supporter of your quoted source here. I watched her shows regarding these documents. You are leaving out ALOT of information. Did she mention the Heard team as well? What did she state regarding that team?

JohnnyDeppIsAWifeBeater

boycottrollingstone

How dumb this is

No. No it didn’t lol

I wonder what Rolling Stone executive was a frequent guest at Ambers sex parties for the magazine/website to lick her boots with every post?

What has backfired is this PR stunt

Crowed didn’t raise any money to unseal anything. The documents were unsealed by the Judge! People paid for print outs at $0.50/page This massive hit pieces starts with a freaken lie! Misrepresenting what actually happened When will there be a correction on this?

And did you report what happened to the extra money that was raised? I'm going to guess not because you're so biased against JD you wouldn't correctly report his age if it wasn't easily verified. The extra money went to the CHLA and Art of Elysium - two charities AH ripped off

amberheardisastripper

It didn't backfire. Johnny was ok with putting the info out. It's bad and worse for amber. Now we all know she was a stripper and porn actress

No at all... Everything thats in there about Johnny WE KNEW!!!! but AmberHeardIsAPredator she is worse than what WE SAW on the trial... One will think Rolling Stone would do a better job...

Karma at its absolute finest! Fantasies about raping teenagers in caves with his bestie. WTF? If it's all just 'dark humour, not everyone's cup of tea', why fight so hard to exclude? Thanks to this lawtuber! Bet jd is grateful. The world now knows about his blistered limp noodle

Anyone reading - MSM is trying to cover their asses which are showing right now that they did not watch or report on the trial, now they’re reading intentionally misleading anonymous Twitter threads and reporting that as fact without references to sources

Same media that was caught lying and refusing to report the facts during the trial are now at it again lying about the unsealed documents that Amber Heard lawyers fought to keep sealed. Meanwhile no reporting on her about to be arrested for perjury in Australia for her many lies

AmberHeardIsAPredator Stop 🛑 spreading lies!!

Remember that it was Ambers side who wanted them sealed not JD. The documents don’t favour Amber at all but you will never report on that. The fact that she admits abuse and enjoys instigating it.

More damaging based on what Amber Heard cult threads wit lies and misinformation with locked comments? 🤣 Actual lawyers who read all docs say more damaging for her with info that her own sister admitted she cut off his finger. Propaganda from people who didnt read the documents.

No, no it didn't backfire realamberheard is still an abuser & liar, justice was served. Nice try!

WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?! These unsealed documents just reveal just how much Amber was trying to hide and just more proof of what an abuser she is!!

This is like last weeks news?! What stone have you been hiding under?

Backfired on whom? Bunch of bickering lawyers. I guess that's what pretrial is for. It doesn't change the trial, evidence was excluded on both side. For a reason=law. Doc. show which evidence are true and relevant in the case. Based on the evidence and her own testimony she lied.

Oh please! Is there no independent researcher anywhere in MSM All the docs do is further justify Johnny Depps win... go read for yourself!

Y’all should just stick to music , your embarrassing yourselves. The media loves to hate in men. Yet y’all ain’t even talking about all the predatory behavior Ambers done. Do your fucking research Rolling Stones

JohnnyDeppWon get over it already

Nope.

R. Kelly, Cosby, Ghislaine Maxwell, Amber Heard. All abusers. All held accountable. Love to see it. 👩🏻‍⚖️‼️ Remember… the jury's verdict confirmed Amber Heard's accusations were unfounded and malicious. AH owes Depp Million$ in damages.

These are TERRIBLE numbers for a rolling stone article. Y'all have really struck an embarrassing all time low! I guess someone at this magazine must be following orders too! Enjoy the fall guys! We'll be watching!!! 😉

It's important to remember that MOTIONS are not FACTS. People are seeing unsealed motion *documents* & jumping on them like they're testimony or something. Here's a twitter thread outlining why the idiotic thread that misinformed so many people is WRONG:

Keep trying. Johnny keeps winning.

AH is a serial abuser!

What hack through this sloppy piece together? 👩🏻‍⚖️‼️ Let’s all remember, the jury's verdict confirmed Amber Heard's accusations were unfounded and malicious.

Yes it backfired and is changing a lot of minds about supporting him

I think Amber's embarrassed herself enough AmberTurd 💩

No it did not. And no it doesn't. Get a job your actually good at because this isn't it

you mean the documents that show AH admitting to abusing JD even more and her sister telling her own boss that AH was the one who cut johnny’s finger off? yeah definitely backfired😭💀 which is why AH’s council was the ones who tried to keep them sealed while JD’s team didn’t.

On the surface, it looked like JD'd supporters were 'winning' but now that perception is eroded, so the needle is moving & it's a good thing.

It backfired but you can't find a deposition transcript of Dr. Bonnie Jacobs who AH told the early abuse to or any motions in limine to keep out therapist notes that she tried to bring in. Yet AH goes on to say a binder of notes was presented and suppressed. But let's focus on JD

Well, now people are starting to open their eyes, but it's too late, you ruined a woman's life just because you're obsessed with Jack Sparrow. AmberHeardDeservesJustice AmberHeardDeservesAnApology

has always been biased towards JD and favors Amber Heard who abused her ex-wife too 🙄😡

Ask for the truth and recieve the truth. Modern law has nothing to do with fairness or truth- it it about the law... the truth is usualy more akin to a broader range of information that leads to a more focused, understandable point of view. The truth will continue to roll out.

Not enough people are comprehending the Asian hate in the tweets between Depp and Marilyn Manson. Probably because, much like the Nazi memorabilia they collect, the slur being used is ancient. StopAsianHate

This article is ridiculous.. it didn't backfire at all! The evidence is still solid.. all these documents show is the background litigation that went on before trial. Motions etc like would they bring up her arrest for abusing her ex wife.

hold them accountable

Didn't see this during the trial.

He's a dirty old drunken flop

TikTok is shifting.

Two months after the trial’s conclusion, Johnny Depp fans (still eager to consume anything related to the case) helped raise more than $10K in a matter of hours to fund the $3,300 cost of recently unsealed trial documents.
