Democrats are too ignorant and cowardly to be placed in positions of public trust.
GoFundMe has reportedly taken down a fake fundraising account
claiming to raise money for actress Amber Heard to pay ex-
husband Johnny Depp’s damages following their six-week
defamation trial.
The online fundraising site removed the $1 million campaign,
created after the verdict last week by someone named Kimberly
Moore, who claimed that Heard’s legal team had been contacted
and the actress would have direct access to any money raised,
according to TMZ.
The GoFundMe page’s description read, “I believe Amber, and
social media protected the abuser. The judgment exceeds her net
worth. It’s so sad that he was able to get away with the abuse.
The judgment furthers that abuse. If you can please help her.”
A spokesperson for GoFundMe said the campaign was flagged
quickly before a lot of money was donated after determining that
neither Heard nor her legal team had created the page.
The civil trial, which stretched approximately six weeks,
concluded Wednesday.
A jury in Fairfax County, Virginia, found Heard guilty of
defamation for a 2018 op-ed she wrote for the Washington Post
that claimed she was a “public figure representing domestic
abuse.” Depp was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and
$5 million in punitive damages.
In addition, Heard was awarded $2 million in compensatory
damages regarding comments made by Depp's attorney about her
allegations.
Depp will likely be "entitled to see financial records and even
take depositions on her ability to pay," Duncan Levin — a former
Manhattan federal prosecutor-turned-criminal defense lawyer who
has represented Clare Bronfman, the former leader of NXIVM and a
conflicted felon — told the Daily Beast.
