Johnny Depp Deformation Trial

I learned the actor called Johnny Depp had taken his ex wife to court because she claimed he was an abusive husband. Her claims caused his acting work to be stopped. Film makers are afraid to shoot actors and actresses with a bad reputation because their bad image can cause the film to fail. 

He claimed that she was actually the one that was abusive and even managed to gather some evidence to prove it. He had audio recordings of her admitting she hit him. He also claims that she caused the tip of his finger to be severed when she threw a bottle at him; he used his severed finger to write notes on the cupboard doors to himself in blood,  you could say he had some pen-t up frustration. Perhaps he should take up blogging. 

It seems more common now for people to go to court to settle their problems. People look up to the authorities as a kind of parent figure that can step in and resolve their grievances.
