Dubbed the No. 1 relationship coach by YahooFinance, Jaime Bronstein told The List that public perception will play a significant role in the fallout of Johnny Depp’s libel trial. The “Love Talk Live” radio show host laid out what would need to happen for either to have a successful “redemption arc” in Hollywood. “Whoever ‘wins’ the case has a greater chance of looking better than the other,” the relationship expert explained. “Both parties will need to work hard to gain back society’s respect and the entertainment industry’s respect.”
Every aspect of their lives is on full display, making the winner of the case relatively moot when it comes to public opinion. Bronstein confirmed that the couple’s “dirty laundry” may hurt them both. She stressed that to mitigate the case’s effect, “It is highly recommended that both Amber and Johnny seek professional counseling to heal from the overexposure of their lives and the trauma that it has caused”.
Since his divorce from Heard and subsequent court hearings, fans have been vocal about their support for Depp. Rolling Stone detailed how deeply invested each actor’s fan base has been in the trial, with social media amplifying their voices. Despite the insults flying, Bronstein is adamant that a resurgence is possible.
“Many stars have made ‘comebacks,’ so I believe that if they desire to better themselves, mature, and have a healthy relationship with themselves and others, they could potentially make comebacks.”
