I'm still trying to quit the Depp vs Heard trial
The trial has been over for weeks but I still miss it.
The trial taught me something about myself. I was really surprised by how much I hated Amber Heard and yet am drawn to watching her. I think I'm a obsessed with her. And I'm not talking about a sexual attraction or anything like that. It's just I can't get enough of video footage of her obviously lying, body language all wrong, frowning and smirking at the same time, contradicting herself. It drives me nuts but I keep wanting more of it. When I was a kid, my family would watched the TV series Dallas and the star of the show was also the villain character - J.R. Ewing played by Larry Hagman. They would hate him so much but they would tune in every week and get irritated. I didn't understand why they would do that to themselves but now I get it. Amber Heard is my J.R. Ewing.
The Youtube channels that were covering the trial are still milking it for every last drop of newsworthiness it still has. They're still coming up with videos daily with titles like, "Amber Heard is in big trouble now!" Every day, she's 'in big trouble now'. It's ridiculous. But the fact that these algorithm gurus are still covering it means I'm not the only addict.
It's not healthy though. I need to quit.
