I think the reports on the whole Johnny Depp/Amber Turd thing is some of the most disgusting form of click-bait media and I can't believe that even top publications such as Vogue are taking the side of an abusive, narcissistic, gold-digging bitch. I have no side on either but I do think Johnny Depp is a victim in all of this. In fact, the whole world owe him an apology.

As for Turd, I hope she doesn't have a career after this let alone any platform to say anything. She's been shown throughout that she isn't just a liar but a terrible actress and a horrible person. Anyone who defends her, man or woman, are just as bad. The worst part is that women who have been abused and have legitimate claims are going to be very angry at what this bitch did to them and it's going to be open season for those that abused them.

Aidy Bryant will be sorely missed, but I can't be too sad because I hope being free from SNL will land her more opportunities. That last sketch with Yang was delicious.

@thevoid99: "I have no side on either...." UM, I really really think you do.

seeing all of the love for cult leader tom cruise is really repulsive..
