The Johnny Depp v Amber Heard trial that played out in its ugliest form during the publicly televised libel case ended up having one person deified and another ostracized in the eyes of the majority. Yet vestiges of the trial linger in the background, and debates sometimes ensue between the two factions to argue and counter-argue the validity of the evidence presented. In the meantime, however, Tubi Originals has continued to produce and direct a film based on the televised libel lawsuit that aired on September 30.

The libel trial which took place in the grounds of the Fairfax County Courthouse, Virginia, proved to be one of the most popular televised and real-time events of the century.

What began as a career-destroying move intended for mutual damage and destruction quickly ended up redeeming Depp in the eyes of the court of public opinion.

Tubi has now taken the liberty of fleshing out the intricacies of the courtroom drama, adding a creative twist or two, and then producing the original for audiences to witness. But this is where it gets offensive to the general public. The Johnny Depp v Amber Heard trial has already been fully televised publicly. This has further proven to be a trigger for many victims of abuse, and even though Heard has collapsed several times on the stand, the vulnerabilities expressed, whether real or fake, are now being acted out by actors. of television for the entertainment of the public and the profit of the streamer.

I don’t understand. We all watched the trial. Why would anyone want to watch this? The trial was triggering for victims everywhere and re-traumatizing for Amber. Why would anyone find that amusing?

Along with claims that the show is “one-sided” and “dehumanizing,” it also stands out as ethically wrong for a streaming platform to use celebrity lawsuits for profit. However, given Tubi’s limited reach, the audience’s outcry will do very little to help the TV movie get retracted, if that’s what they intended. In the meantime, the poorly acted, low-budget film allows rage to ensue as both sides prepare for round two of the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard real-time trial.
Hot take: the Depp/Heard trial aired on Tubi on September 30, 2022.
