We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

Yay: Because she won the Johnny Depp case.
Nay: Since when are partners promoted on the basis of Twitter stans? Many other lawyers win defamation cases and don't get promoted. She was hyped by the media and social media because she is attractive. False news was spread by the New York Post, Daily Mail and Joe Rogan that she was dating Johnny (it was later revealed by the NY Post and Daily Mail itself that she has a boyfriend).
It's fine to be a fan of one side or the other, but as lawyers you / we should be a little more circumspect about the media spectacle the case actually was and not view it so uncritically like the average US TV watcher / Twitter stan / men's right activist / incel who sees this as vindication that all women are liars and metoo is a sham and women should go back to the kitchen and shut up more.
Also, can you please reach out to AH's PR team asap. You have some excellent points here. Thanks
When you take one side the whole forum looks like biased and not favouring the freedom of speech.
Therefore whether is posting such comments should post anonymously rather than posting with the official ID.
If you talk crap or falsehoods or are obviously trolling or abusing others or spew hate or are just generally being foolish, moderators can and should at the very least say: "with all due respect, Sir, thank you very much for your comment, but you're talking crap, please do so at your friend's house or Facebook or leave your house and shout it on the town square".
But sure, you can stan all over Camille / Depp as much as you like and it makes you happy.
But in the process, since you're on LI, you might as well and at least also learn a little bit about US (public media) jury trial strategy in cases such as this (as well as in rape / sexual harassment cases in general): if you as a lawyer / law firms are not thinking about how to humanise your male client to the jury and the media, then you're not doing your job of doing your utmost to represent the interests of your client.
And if you, as a lawyer, are swallowing the entire media spectacle theatre hook line and sinker, you are in the wrong profession and are being played.
You're welcome :) Now you may go back to stanning.

She has now made this remark about her boyfriend: "He’s wonderful and supportive and loves me; has met Johnny. He knows that I’ve worked for Johnny for four-and-a-half years now, so there was no issue there ever. He’s just wonderful and supportive.”
So why didn't she say all this when the press was reporting that she was dating Johnny? Why speaking out only now?
Quote: Because it was of greater advantage to her client's case and winning in appeal to make the media continue to spin their narrative?
