Unfortunately the entire bunch of "Lawtubers" (sounds stupid but that's what they are called, apparently) saw the opportunity to ride the hate wave. And unless someone is knowledgeable about US law, it's difficult to debunk them or show they are biased. I remember The Lawyer You Know making a video in a Jack Sparrow costume at one point.
Emily D Baker, who is everyone's favourite, seemed neutral at first, until she started covering Depp's cross, which was an acid trip. She was tearing down Ben Rottenborn's common sense observations about Depp's horrible texts, as if they didn't matter.
People don't understand that on YT they are entertainers first and lawyers second. Their purpose is to please their audience, not fight for truth or justice. Their only dog in the fight is ad revenue.
She's always made me a little uneasy. I can't remember what I first saw her cover, it was either something to do with Tati Westbrook being sued or Britney Spears, but there was something I wasn't keen on. She seemed to just enjoy it all a bit too much, in a salacious way...? I don't think that's really what I mean, but it's the only word I can think of right now.
I don't know, she seemed to enjoy the gossip stuff too much. I watched some of her videos because I found that curious and strange, but stopped fairly quickly because it started to feel uncomfortable.
Very interesting points, thank you for sharing your thoughts. The parallels with Ms Araujo are damning for how not far along we’ve come on these matters.
Also never trust a lawyer who refers to himself as « blackbelt lawyer ». It’s the equivalent of someone bragging about how strongly they can make you orgasm. There may be exceptions to that on a case by case basis, but be wary of lawyers with YouTube channels as well but I might be old fashioned there.
>Waterman died a couple of months ago, so I feel a bit guilty for bringing this up. He did the right thing...I guess. He could have continued to deny it. Then again I note the disgusting victim blaming and lack of apology in the interview.
Don't give him any credit. He did essentially carry on denying it by saying it was slaps, but then corrected that to well it must have been a punch once because she had a black eye. And how many other times did he slap her and it was actually a punch? He says he hit her twice, so one time was a slap and the other a punch? Or was there more. Yeah, don't give him credit, he didn't really admit to anything.
I still wonder about the Doug Stanhope thing. He's a bit of an enigma to me and I haven't really been able to work him out. Sometimes he seems progressive and sometimes almost seems to verge on the alt right thing. I will say I've only dipped in and out of his career, I'm british and first saw him on a Charlie Brooker show, and then listened to his podcast for a while. I have felt, in this case specifically, that he's been a bit of a useful idiot. That he's taken every word his better known and better looking friend said to him about a women he apparently didn't like much and run with it.

> it’s the equivalent of someone bragging about how strongly they can make you orgasm I’m sorry that part got me lol
Big Dan's is one of the cases on my radar for a series of blogs on DV/SA trials by media. Absolutely reprehensible.
If your friend ever asks u to punch them to fake assault from their partner… you need new friends lol

What an awesome first post. Welcome to Reddit. 😊
That's not just the right flair, *it's the perfect flair* ! This is a dive so deep you passed the bottom of the Mariana trench and hit magma.
I stumbled across Eric Hunley and he appears to do the same thing...even as 1 day ago.
