me, rewatching Lucas (1986): wow, I always forget how young Corey Haim looks in this movie, I wonder how old he actually was during filming?

the internet: he was 14! Btw, fun little fact for ya, that’s also how old he was when he was SA’ed!

me: WHAT!?

#Like what????? #wdym???? #You’re really telling me that someone hurt that boy when he looked like THAT #He looks like a baby #with his fluffy hair and big eyes #Poor kid #he didn’t deserve that #I just can’t get over how YOUNG he looked while he was going through something so horrible #tw: sa mention #tw: sa #corey haim #lucas blye #Lucas #lucas (1986) #Lucas movie #the lost boys #Btw I know that the timeline is weird and a lot of misinformation was spread about this #But most of the stuff I found said he was 14/15 when it happened #Which is how old he was during Lucas

i'm sorry if you didn't want to discuss the jd issue anymore, but I keep seeing a lot of posts saying how there is a mountain worth of evidence against amber heard and that she has literally stated it herself that she abused jd. i haven't been following this trial, mostly cause of the way it was treated by the general public, so I can't really say that I know for sure whether the verdict was right or wrong. I am definitely disgusted by the way people have been making memes about ah but I feel like if there actually is evidence that she abused him then how can people deny or ignore that? (this is a genuine question btw. i know jd is a piece of shit in general and I'm not looking to defend him, I just wanted to know whether it's true that people who believe ah are actually trying to ignore evidence or something).

hi anon! i can tell you are asking this genuinely and in good faith so it's no problem. there's been a lot of misinformation spread on social media, which is why a lot of people will say there's "mountains of evidence", and it's really difficult to sort out what the truth is. i'm going to recommend social media posts here because that's just going to be quicker and easier to read than long articles or legal documents lol

what initially convinced me was this twitter thread detailing a timeline of their relationship, including alleged violent/abusive incidents. another helpful post is this list of common myths debunked. the same user made a part two a few days ago (in general the deuxmoi subreddit has been a great place to find discussion about this trial that is not horribly misogynistic). this is an article about his loss in a defamation case in the uk (where it is infamously difficult to lose an defamation case) where a newspaper called him a wife beater, he claimed it was defamation, they were able to prove 12 cases where it was highly probable that he had abused his wife and therefore lost the case and the sun retained their legal right to call him a wife beater.

in addition, the result of this case is just baffling. i'm not a lawyer (i read a lot about law as a kind of hobby lol and i nearly went to law school but decided against it) but the statements deemed defamatory in this trial were vague statements she made about being a victim of abuse. the jury decided these statements were defamatory and therefore untrue, but also that d*pp's teams statement that her abuse allegations were a hoax were defamatory and therefore untrue. so, that makes no fucking sense. it was a very weird ruling and i think there's a chance it will be overturned on appeal. it's also deeply troubling, for abuse victims and for freedom of speech in general; they essentially ruled that she's a victim of abuse, but that she's not allowed to speak about it, even in very vague terms.

that was very long, but i hope this is helpful, anon!

#if you'd like some articles and stuff rather than social media posts let me know! #i thought they'd be a good starting point bc it's a lot of information all in one place #abuse tw #anyway hope this is helpful x
