Relationship therapist, coach, and host of “Love Talk Live,” Jaime Bronstein, revealed to The List that there’s a very real reason the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard trial is so public, and that’s attention. According to Bronstein, “Celebrities often make things public to gain attention if they have been out of the limelight for a while.” For the same reason you’ll text a friend you haven’t see in awhile, Bronstein admits, “[Celebrities] don’t want the public to forget about them.”
When Depp took to the stand to testify, he admitted that the reason he has decided to bring this case to court is, “It was the only time I was able to fight back and use my own voice.” Depp likely felt silenced after being accused of domestic abuse in Heard’s 2018 Washington Post op-ed, especially if he feels that it was the reason for his firing from projects like the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise (via Time).
