Description
Johnny Depp won his defamation case against Amber Heard, after her 2018 Washington Post article in which she wrote: "I became a public figure representing domestic abuse." But what will the legacy of this trial - and particularly the coverage of it, including on social media - be? Will this fuel an already escalating backlash against the #MeToo movement, in which women who had suffered sustained sexual harassment and violence from men had a moment in which a consensus grew that their voices should be heard? Whatever you think of the verdict, where does this trial - not least the way it was covered - leave women?We are joined by brilliant journalist Lucia Osborne-Crowley, who has covered the trial from the start.Please subscribe - and help us take on the right-wing media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.
