29: Johnny WINS Depp v Heard Jun 02, 2022

25: Amber Turd? May 25, 2022

As Amber Herd enters Fairfax County Court you can hear the chants of; "Amber Turd". On today's Park Bench interview, after Day 22 of the trial Nick sits down to chat to Priscilla, who has come dressed as a giant turd.
Has the trial been reduced to a circus? Does she think her actions dissuade DV victims from coming forward? And does it bother her what Amber thinks of the greeting?
The end of the trial gets closer, and the Park Bench interviews are definitely getting weirder.
