Joe Rogan shares thoughts on Johnny Depp – Amber Heard verdict

During episode 125 of the Joe Rogan Experience, the host watching the verdict come in, and shared some of his thoughts about Heard owing Depp money in the process.

“Look, I don’t want her to have to pay him money. I really don’t,” Rogan said. “I think that lady’s broken and psychologically she’s so damaged, she’s so crazy. I think the real punishment is that she’s been exposed to the world how insane she is.”

According to Joe, Amber Heard needs to take a trip to a jungle and have some time to herself in nature before she returns in the public sphere.

“Then [she should] come back and apologize,” Rogan suggested, before comparing the results of the trial to a one-sided UFC fight.

It will be interesting to see how long the trial remains relevant on social media now that it has concluded, but it’s clear everyone has something to say about it.
