Honestly, one of the reasons his article was so impactful to me is because he used to co-host You’re Wrong About, a podcast which, among other things, dug deep into how terribly we treated Britney Spears, Anita Hill, Tonya Harding, and so on, so he has a lot of credibility to me when he says that this is the exact same thing.
I hope you’re wrong about this turning into a Phil Spektor case, but regardless of whatever Depp does for the rest of his life, this has absolutely had a chilling effect on victims, especially those accusing wealthy and powerful men. And that’s a situation that nobody worth talking to should want.
