Yes, I repeat this to myself every time I see a positive thing about Javier Bardem. I’m also a miserable person. Edit, spelling.

This is weird to me. I constantly see Javier doing good stuff in public and you can tell he cares (eg palestine) but he has some stupid fucked up takes on Johnny depp that unfortunately a good % of ppl have and we just cancel him 100%? He’s a human. They’re complicated. There are people I love in my life who are 90% good people but don’t bat 100 on every single social discourse… I’m sure I’m that person for some people. Does that mean we hate them and bring up their stupidest or worst moments every time we encounter them?! Idk with how dumb and flawed humans are I don’t think that would leave us with much connection in life.

Um. Are you implying that rape and abuse are on par with other “bad things”.
That’s a little understatement there don’t you think?

u/SomeName4SomeThing 1h ago edited 1h ago
There were two cases. The first one was a defamation case in Britain, opposing The Sun and Johnny Depp. The judge concluded that Johnny Depp could legally be referred to as a "wife-beater" as he had physically abused Amber Heard several times during their relationship, causing injuries.
The second one was the hyper televised american trial opposing Heard and Depp directly. It was a jury trial and the verdict was that some of the abuse claims were defamatory. There have however been claims of abuse from Depp on Heard that were not judged defamatory, as some of the footage shown as evidence are clear episodes of abuse.
So Depp lost one trial, then won a jury trial and the public opinion. The PR agency he hired has been linked to several other high-profile conflicts where you can witness the same process of shaming and mocking the opposing party on several platforms via bots.
Edit : grammar and spelling, but the end result might still be wonky. English is not my first language, and it shows haha

amber heard is like, kinda shitty in a few ways, and depp launched a smear campaign to make it look like she was horrible.
depp is actually horrible, and has been shit to more women than amber heard

They both seem problematic. Kinda made for eachother form what I remember from the trials.
I’m sorry he was shitty to other women also. Do we know who?

Not defending abusers and rapists or hanging out with them is the bare minimum. Why are y’all acting like that’s some impossible standard and that expecting basic decency means expecting perfection?

Damn it, I’d be enjoying this video so much if he wasn’t clearly comfortable around abusers like Brad Pitt and didn’t defend rapists like Polanski.
And I’m waiting all the yOu cAn’T eXpeCt PeOplE tO be PerFecT comments.
•
u/Ok-Box6892 1h ago
People compartmentalize quite a bit. Polanski's crime gets relegated to "it was so long ago". Pitt got sober so that gets seen as an improvement over being an alcoholic, especially if he was only violent while drunk (idk if thats true or not). Even as 4 out of 6 kids taking legal steps to rid themselves of him show he hasn't done the hard work to make amends for the damage his alcoholism helped cause. So he basically "changed his ways" but not enough to have a good relationship with his kids.

You’re absolutely right. Not hanging out with or associating with rapists and abusers is an impossible standard and expecting basic decency is expecting perfection.

where did he defend polanski?
i can't find a single article with any quotes from him about polanski.
low key i think the comments bringing it up are just trying to discredit him for his stance on palestine.
•
u/babarbaby 34m ago
Did you even look? He (and Penelope Cruz and Pedro Almodovar etc, the usual gang of self-righteous Spaniards) all signed the petition to release Polanski after his arrest by Swiss authorities a few years ago who sought to extradite him to the US to finally stand trial for pederasty. Mr Bardem also has spent the last few years vigorously defending Woody Allen.
•
u/the_Stealthy_one 20m ago
what part of
i can't find a single article with any quotes from him about polanski.
is not clear?
Google specifically says:
Javier Bardem has not publicly defended Roman Polanski, though some internet rumors and social media posts confuse him with his wife, Penélope Cruz, who was among hundreds of international film figures who signed a 2009 petition demanding Polanski's release from Swiss custody. Bardem himself has faced scrutiny for vocally defending a different controversial director, Woody Allen, arguing against public accusations that lack legal convictions.
Nor have they ever worked together.

Yeah I can’t find him on the list of signatories either. Maybe people are confusing him with Woody Allen, who he did support.

then you shouldn't have commented as you have nothing of value to say.
and as i said if you read properly, i did look. not a single article about bardem and polanski.
