DAN WOOTTON: JK Rowling has a spectacular list of achievements to her name but her courage in defying the cancel-mob is her crowning glory

She seemed mad that I had suggested re-casting Depp in the movies was 'the only decision that would show she's a woman of true character and principle, even when her famous friends are involved'.
But I held my nerve – aware the facts were on my side – and the very rich Scottish author eventually relented, with a few tough words from her over-paid lawyer thrown my way.
Depp didn't relent, as you may remember, losing the court case after his ex-wife Amber Heard agreed to give evidence for me, documenting his appalling record of physical abuse and mental torture.
Both Amber and I offered to meet with Rowling separately to explain what we knew about Depp's behaviour, but she rebuffed our attempts to reach out.
It was obvious to me that her close friendship with Depp – an actor who she idolised – had overshadowed principle on this issue, disappointing for someone who is undoubtedly an advocate for female victims of abuse, given she is one herself.

Confidentiality agreement
It's still interesting to watch... for research purposes... Still do not understand why Team Depp like Sherborne would ever ever ever want to participate to a documentary.... we all KNEW it would be one-sided and out of context but whatever. Enjoy watching!
Someone needs to tell her and her so called attorney that people are still getting covid who have had their vaccinations and booster shots AND wearing N95 or KN95 masks. Why should JD's team have to notify the local police dept. of the place and time - isn't her team capable of doing that and what is she so worried about when she is demanding private entrances to the rooms and to and from the parking garage? She wants JD to pay for her and her counsel's lunch. I guess her support team is on their own. 
I really hope there is a nice surprise waiting inside her sandwich.
