France 5 broadcast an episode of La Fabrique dulie which looks back on the defamation lawsuit between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, two Hollywood actors. A highly publicized trial, but by whom, exactly?
It appears from the documentary Affair Johnny Depp / Amber Heard – Justice put to the test of social networks that Johnny Depp’s lawyer passed information related to the trial to youtubeurs identified as “masculinists”.

The film also accuses masculinist circles of having ridiculed Amber Heard’s speeches and of having exploited and made fun of excerpts from the trial on social networks, helping to discredit her testimony.
Have social networks had an influence on public opinion towards the parties involved in the case? Does this questioning of the word of an alleged victim and his testimony create a dramatic precedent? Should the mainstream media have handled the case better?
All these questions are addressed in this episode of La Fabrique dulie dedicated to the Heard-Depp affair rich in revelations, and available free of charge on the france.tv site.
