Okay, that could be misleading. Depp wins in court, and apparently the jury wasn’t convinced that Depp physically beat Heard. He’s awarded $10 million in damages and $5 million in punitive (reduced by statute to $350k). Heard wins $2million in her countersuit, but only for what Depp’s then attorney had claimed publicly. Depp clearly a big, big winner today.
Didn’t watch the trial, but what a sad, sad tale. . . .

From the post game reports I heard this afternoon, Depp was exactly the opposite of narcissistic. He laid all his personal issues out there, but convinced the jury that spousal abuse wasn’t one of them. Takes juevos to do that.
That said, alway figured he was an odd kind of guy. Never thought of her before; no respect for her now.

In terms of traits, Suzanne Degges-White Ph.D., highlighted the 9 narcissistic traits as follows. The individual:
- Believes that he or she is special and unique
- Shows an excessive need for admiration.
- Has a grandiose or exaggerated sense of self-importance
- Possess a sense of entitlement
- Is jealous and envious of others
- Has a pattern of exploiting others
- Is arrogant and haughty
- Lacks of empathy
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) lists these nine criteria for NPD. However, an individual only needs to meet five of the nine to clinically qualify as a narcissist. In his testimony, Dr. Spiegel indicated that Depp displayed a number of these traits and went on to give examples of each, including a need for admiration, a sense of entitlement, fragile self-esteem, and a lack of empathy.
Not trying to prove he is or isn’t. IMHO, working in the entertainment business makes one a candidate.
