We are told that we must “believe women” when it comes to claims of abuse. But why should we believe any accusation without question? This goes against all precepts of our legal system, not to say basic logic.
In fact, as many high-profile cases have shown, wouldn’t we be better guided to observe caution and consider that hell hath no fury?
In a case which probably escaped the notice of most BFD readers, YouTuber Jared “ProJared” Knabenbauer was mired in an unholy Twitter campaign in 2019. After being accused of being a cheat and abuser, things got even uglier when two underage fans claimed on Twitter that ProJared had allegedly solicited nude photos from them. Then, it all fell apart. After months of silence, ProJared made public statements and provided evidence to clear his name. The fuss died away as quickly as it had started – leaving behind a collateral damage of ruined careers, blackened names and damaged mental health for one and all.
Unlike ProJared, BFD readers will certainly have heard of Johnny Depp – and his similar fall from grace.
Depp’s now-ex, fellow actor Amber Heard, dragged the actor’s name through the mud with lurid accusations of abuse and violence. Without doubt, Depp’s career suffered: gossip mags turned on him and he was dropped from such lucrative franchises as Pirates of the Caribbean and the Harry Potter spinoff, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Depp also lost a defamation action against The Sun newspaper, which printed many of the claims.
But the legal battles are far from over, and this time it’s Amber Heard on the back foot.
A former production executive at New Line Cinema believes that Amber Heard may have been contacted by a influential and well connected member of an activist group and the author of the infamous “Emily Doe” letter to get her organisation worldwide recognition by smearing one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors[…]
The insider explains that the Office of Civil Rights was run by activists who have been vehemently against due process in campus sexual assault cases, resulting in approximately 700 federal lawsuits of which 300 or so have been ruled in favour of an accused student whose due process rights were denied.

Some other big names on the left are being caught up in the case.
Last year Johnny Depp’s attorney, Adam Waldman, revealed that a representative of the ACLU had contacted him after he exposed them for lying about receiving a sizeable donation from Amber Heard. They are now witnesses and possibly defendants in the Depp v Heard defamation suit.
In an interview with The Blast in 2019 Adam Waldman said, “The ACLU, co-conspirators with Ms Heard in her defamation against Mr Depp, also today sought permission to file a ‘friends of the court’ brief. Since the ACLU will be a fact witness, and possibly a defendant in their actual role as ‘friends of the hoax,’ we have denied their request. Ms Heard may have failed yet again in court, but she is succeeding at sucking a number of social movements that have hit rock bottom but are determined to keep digging into her scam”[…]
Since Amber Heard testified under the penalty of perjury in the UK court that she had already donated the entire sum of her USD$7 million divorce settlement to several charities, ACLU and other charities that backed her lies are now implicated and may be found guilty of charity fraud.
Recent photographic evidence has also led to suggestions that she and friends staged the hotel destruction allegedly wreaked by Depp.
Meanwhile, Heard hardly has a clean record on domestic abuse, herself.
Heard was arrested for domestic abuse against her artist girlfriend by Port of Seattle Police on September 14, 2009, according to Sea-Tac spokesman Perry Cooper[…]She ended up being arrested and charged for misdemeanour assault in the fourth degree/domestic violence, Cooper said.

But if she loses this latest legal action, she could be in a whole lot more trouble.
“Although this is just a defamation case, this could result in a criminal persecution [sic]. The evidence that Depp’s attorneys wants to bring to the court could open up Pandora’s box and lead to a federal investigation,” the source told us[…]
Johnny Depp’s legal team is very confident that they’ll will win the defamation case against Heard next year, the source claims. And just like Heard is trying to use the ruling from the ‘wife beater’ libel trial to dismiss Depp’s defamation suit, US law enforcement could use the defamation trial evidence to persecute [sic] Heard for her other crimes.
The source continued: “Being found guilty of defamation is the least of Heard’s worries right now, she’s looking at several major felony charges and could spend the next 5 years in prison. She’ll be 40 when she gets out and her career would be over.
