Depp's Libel Case Thrown Out of Court

Johnny Depp has lost his libel court case against the Sun over an article they wrote describing the actor as a 'wife-beater'. He lost. 

Judge Mr Justice Nicol threw Johnny Depp's case out of the court, ruling that the Sun's description of Depp as a 'wife beater' is 'sustainably true'. The case was heard over the course of 16 days in July at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, where the judge claimed that Depp had put his ex-wife, Amber Heard, in 'fear for her life' on three separate occasions. 

The Sun have stood by their claims that Johnny Depp is a 'wife-beater'. After the trial was over, a spokesperson for the Sun said: 'Domestic abuse victims must never be silenced and we thank the judge for his careful consideration and thank Amber Heard for her courage in giving evidence to the court.'

This trial has now cast doubt on Depp's claims against his ex-wife in the ongoing court case in the US.

The After Effect

Love your friends was a very heartfelt post about some things that happened when I was only 16. It was an incredibly strange time in my life. This post is more about the aftereffect of losing friends. I felt that it was the right time to write it as recently a couple of my friends lost someone they loved dearly and for me, it has been many years since my close friends died. I hope that this blog post provides comfort for anyone reading this. While I'm writing this, it has been just over two years since Mollie passed and a year and 10 months since we lost Natasha. It's been a strange few years in my life, to be honest. Two breaks up and others in my life have passed away. When so much grief happens in such a short space of time, it can bring along with it many negative feelings. I'm not a stranger to bad thoughts and bad times. Each and every day I miss Mollie and Natasha and long for them to be here again. At the same time, it makes me feel almost lucky to be living and giv

The Fear Won't Go Away - Single Release

 On the 14th December, my latest single 'The Fear Won't Go Away' came out on Soundcloud for all to hear. It is completely self produced and one of my favourite songs I've written in a long time. This year has been a rollarcoaster of emotions for everyone. With the lockdowns bringing about feelings of loneliness and friends passing away, this song really refelcts a lot of I've felt this year. The lyrics are a combination of old messages that were sent by old friends and the emotions I feel while reading them. I really do hope that everyone has enjoyed listening to this song that means ever so much to me.  Recently on this blog, I've written a lot about grief and how it has effected my life over the past few years. Creating music to help express the emotions that I have been feeling has helped bring some sort of relief. The feedback that has been recieved from previous posts has also been incredibly positive and encouraging to keep on going.

Why You Should Take Photos With Your Friends Many events have led up to the point of becoming a photographer. My mum always took photos as she has gone through life and as I grew up. It’s interesting to look at what she has done throughout her life and the documentation of my childhood. Each picture shows something different and has a memory attached to it (even if I can’t remember the photo being taken). Within the past few years, I have fallen out with friends and had some even pass away. This has made me cherish each and every photo taken. Some of those photos are the last ones I’ll ever get to take with some of those people. Others I never even bothered to get photos of or with. It made me realise the importance of documenting each and every memory as we never know when the carpet  will be taken from underneath our feet. Moving away from the  place that I grew up to study somewhere else has made me  appreciate every photo that I took in my early teen years.  These days I al
