#MenToo trending as Johnny Depp, Amber Heard trial nears end

MAHMOUD BENNETT: IT’S THE FINAL WEEK OF TESTIMONY IN THE JOHNNY DEPP AMBER HEARD TRIAL.

AND IF YOU’VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE CASE – YOU’VE PROBABLY ALREADY MADE UP YOUR MIND.

BOTH ACCUSE THE OTHER OF BEING PHYSICALLY VIOLENT DURING THEIR RELATIONSHIP. AND THEY BOTH DENY THE OTHER’S CLAIMS. 

AMBER HEARD COURT RECORDING: “Tell the world Johny I’m a victim of abuse … and see how many people believe or side with you”

BENNETT: THE CASE IS FUELING A DEBATE ABOUT HOW MEN ARE TREATED IN CASES OF DOMESTIC ABUSE. 

NOW TRENDING UNDER HASHTAG  #MENTOO 

IT WAS BORN OUT OF THE FEW FALSE ACCUSATIONS FROM THE METOO MOVEMENT – WHERE WOMEN OPENED UP ABOUT THEIR STORIES OF ABUSE.

THIS USER SAYS BOTH SIDES NEED TO BE HEARD BEFORE BELIEVING ONE OVER THE OTHER.

RESEARCH SHOWS IT’S HARD FOR VICTIMS TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE -PARTICULARLY FOR MEN.

ONE FACTOR AT PLAY: PERCEPTIONS OF THEIR OWN MASCULINITY AND SOCIETY

JOHNNY DEPP: “Suddenly I was guilty until proven innocent”

BENNETT: ON TIKTOK – HASHTAG I STAND WITH AMBER HEARD HAS GARNERED 8 MILLION VIEWS WHILE JUSTICE FOR JOHNNY DEPP HAS RACKED UP MORE THAN 15 BILLION.

WE’LL BE COVERING THE FINAL VERDICT AS THE TRIAL COMES TO A CLOSE. FOLLOW US FOR THE LATEST.
