A month after Johnny Depp won his multi-million defamation trial against Amber Heard , the ex- Pirates of the Caribbean star now officially faces the first attempt to smack down his legal victory, with a harsh one-two-punch. “For all the reasons set forth above, and for the reasons set forth on the record during the hearings and at trial, in the Motions in Limine and Motions to Strike, Ms. Heard respectfully requests this Court to set aside the jury verdict in favor of Mr. Depp and against Ms. Heard in its entirety, dismiss the Complaint, or in the alternative, order a new trial,” says a not unexpected memorandum filed July 1 in Virginia Circuit Court by the Aquaman star’s attorneys. Heard has long alleged that she suffered violent domestic abuse from Depp. She told a UK court in 2020, and the US trial this year that she had also been repeatedly sexually abused by Depp. Almost from the moment the over $10 million verdict came down on June 1 … [Read more...] about Johnny Depp’s Winning Verdict Should Be Tossed Out For New Trial, Amber Heard Says; Jury Vetting Questions Raised

LaVar Ball on Controversy, Kobe Bryant, Building NBA Family Dynasty
LaVar Ball’s house is the only one in his Chino Hills subdivision with a black garage door. Out back, it’s the only one with three different basketball hoops and a shooting machine. Two of them are professional and the third, a gift, is set up over the pool so his kids can jump off and practice dunking. Of course, that’s not the only thing that makes it remarkable.

And what’s inside is the outspoken scion of the premiere young hoops family in America. Ball’s sons, Lonzo, LaMelo and LiAngelo are all to varying degrees prep phenomena. All three starred first for Ball’s Big Ballers AAU team, then Chino Hills High, and will all at one point pass through UCLA.

Don’t tell LaVar Ball there’s a chance he might not; Ball will brook no … [Read more...] about LaVar Ball on Controversy, Kobe Bryant, Building NBA Family Dynasty
