Sent the ask about the motion to dismiss thing - apparently I got it wrong and there are only WaPo printers in VA (I'm not 100% sure but I just checked what was said and it only mentions printers). Idk if it's just bc I'm a layperson but this seems absolutely bonkers to me that this was approved somehow because... they printed the newspaper there?
have you seen the case where the coal mine baron sues john oliver for defamation over the nutter butter squirrel bit? that was filed west virginia. idk why the virginias have decided they want to be *the* dream location for defamation plaintiffs...
the aclu wrote an amicus brief in the bob murray v. john oliver case which may be the funniest legal brief i've ever read. the whole thing is worth a read. my favorite parts are footnote 3 ("anyone can have dreams"), the argument header "Anyone can Legally Say 'Eat Shit' Bob", and the quotes "It is apt that one of Plaintiffs’ objections to the show is about a human-sized squirrell named Mr. Nutterbutter, because this case is nuts.", "Bob Murray thinks John Oliver was mean to him, and he doesn’t want him to be mean again. While that is sad for Bob Murray, it is unconstitutional for a court to order such relief", and the single greatest use of a photograph inside a legal brief i've ever seen:
okay but i got a little off track there. i bring this up because, in the wake of Oliver winning his lawsuit against Bob Murray, his show did a segment on SLAPP lawsuits. the clip can be found embedded here, and Oliver discusses the virginia(s)' weak anti-SLAPP laws which allowed the depp v. heard case to proceed in the first place.
anyway. this doesn't really answer your question. the virginia court found that depp met the minimum contacts requirement, a civpro rule used to determine when it is appropriate for a court in one state to assert personal jurisdiction over a defendant from another state.
the seminal minimum contacts case, from SCOTUS and thus binding on all lower courts, is International Shoe (International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310 (1945), the Supreme Court held that for a defendant to have minimum contacts, the defendant needs some combination of the two following factors: systematic and continuous activity within the forum jurisdiction).
if i was an appellate lawyer working on this case, i'd certainly be looking at Calder v. Jones (a defamation case involving Florida & California). 465 U.S. 783 (1984). i'd be analogizing that the appropriate venue would be California for this case, as its where AH and depp lived during their relationship, where both their careers were, etc.
But if I was depp's team, I'd be looking at Thousand Oaks Barrel Co., LLC v. Deep South Barrels LLC, 241 F. Supp. 3d 708 (2017)(holding that a company that directed electronic activity into Virginia with the manifest intent to do business with Virginia residents by setting up an interactive ecommerce website accessible to Virginia residents and used that website to fulfill Virginia customers’ Internet purchases was sufficient to establish minimum contacts). Based on that wildly broad interpretation, you could analogize that WaPo prints newspapers that are delivered to Virginia residents so by choosing to publish her article in WaPo, now she's subject to personal jx in Virginia.

The pages in this category are redirects from names that are unsuitable for inclusion in a printed version of Wikipedia. To add a redirect to this category, place {{Rcat shell|{{R unprintworthy}}}} on the second new line (skip a line) after #REDIRECT [[Target page name]]. For more information follow the links. Never substitute redirect template(s), nor place them on soft redirects.
See also the complete list of redirect templates and the redirect style guide.
This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories.
This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.
This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (appearance → show hidden categories) is set.
These categories can be used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.
These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).
"Unprintworthy" redirects are redirect pages on Wikipedia that aid online navigation, but would have little or no value as pointers to target articles in a hard-copy book. The name of a redirect may be unprintworthy for a number of reasons, including being nearly identical to the name of the target page, containing typographical errors, or not being encyclopaedic. Redirects are not unprintworthy just because the name may be offensive to some, unless the name is also not encyclopaedic.
