DEAR MEDIA, PLEASE STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH!

Thanks to the efforts of @aburkhartlaw and the generosity of many others, 6,600 pages of recently unsealed documents in the Depp v. Heard trial were made public and distributed far and wide (again, thanks to the effort of Andrea Burkhart). Instead of taking a careful look through (again, I repeat) more than 6,000 pages of motions, responses, objections, exhibits, e-mails, etc., several in the media have tried to ascribe their own perceived motivations on those who sought the release of these documents.

This rush to print caused some rather obvious blunders in the reporting, to include articles in The Daily Beast, NBC, and Newsweek. Some of you might have seen that I asked the author of one of these articles about the misreported information on Twitter. Rather than respond to the substance of my question, said author and Senior Entertainment Editor decided he'd make an attempt at doxing my Twitter account as "just another bot" because the account was created after May of 2022 (for fairly obvious and previously discussed reasons). Well, that didn't sit right with me so I'm going to have a little chat with all of you about the whole mess...

Joined by some of my favorite people! @Emily D. Baker @Runkle Of The Bailey & @Hoeg Law

I also want to give a quick shout-out to @Eric Hunley for the creative wooden robot in the intro!
