Good on you for writing this. Making a mistake is part of being a human. Respect to you for accepting you made one just as each and every one of us has too at some point in our lives
Well done on 'coming clean' on this Dan, often we have to live a situation to know how it affects others and I admire you for being the bigger man and apologising.
It doesn’t matter about other people’s reactions. Enjoy the love that’s here for you in this community who have joined because they believe in you & want to stand with you on your journey. They’re all that matter.
I don’t agree with all things written, but I do applaud you for apologizing to Johnny. A man who wanted his (and hers!) private life to remain private. Amber made her very public bed with her antics such as getting the TMZ staged restraining order, public speaking engagements about DV and the Op-Ed. She now has to lie in it.
I don't know enough about the Johnny and Amber story to comment with any insight, however, I have quite something to say about the cancel culture that we are currently living in....please allow me to quote what I recently wrote on X.
Once upon a time, when someone made a mistake, they owned up to it, apologised, the other person(s) accepted the apology gracefully, and everyone moved on. These days, an apology is never enough, people are not happy until they have got blood i.e. someone has been cancelled. I am now of the opinion, there is no point in apologising to anyone for any reason anymore, it will never be enough, it will never satisfy people. And the best bit is, the worst offenders of this cancel culture tell the rest of us to be kind.
Take the recent media frenzy over Princess Catherine's photoshopped image. She apologised for her mistake and that should have been the end of it, but no, the media have carried on regardless, not letting the matter drop. Why? I have a theory it's because they think they have a right to know all of her medical issues, and as she is not telling them anything, they are angry and want revenge. The media need to realise that Catherine may be a royal, but she is also a human being, and her medical history is none of their business.
Catherine should not have bothered offering up an apology, it didn't make the media frenzy go away, it made them worse.
Whilst I am sure there are those who are grateful of your apology to Johnny Depp, you must realise, Dan, that some will not be, they will never forgive you not will they forget. You have done the right thing, admitting you got it wrong, and you have apologised. If Depp is ok with it, that's what matters, and those who will never be satisfied (even if you begged forgiveness), well they don't matter. Do not let the #bekind cancel culture destroy you when it's not necessary.
(advise on how to make my comments shorter would be gratefully accepted, sorry again)
Events in our lives shape our outlook and how we view things with a new perspective. It so awful and so cruel what you have been put through Dan, but that has given you a new outlook on life and it will have changed you in so many ways. Some good but some not so good - I imagine lack of trust being one of them. But overall you really have become so much stronger and are now able to just be you - probably even a better version of yourself - and we love you for it ❤️ ♥️
You were completely wrong about Johnny Depp. Amber Heard is complete unhinged. You're obviously not a very good judge of character. Perhaps you were silly enough to believe women don't lie.
When a person lies so much and they believe their own lies , they put on a great show of convincing others. We see it happening today elsewhere with photoshopped pictures , someone allegedly never makes those mistakes 😂🤣😂😁 hmmmm most of the alliterate one's photos are airbrushed or doctored to make her look younger or give her husband darker hair, a full head of hair .. 🤔
If you are really genuinely sorry, perhaps you should write to the courts, to accept you should not have got involved so that the UK trial can be overturned. The Judge denied Johnny Depp's team to scrutinise the evidence that AH used. Also why did you and the Sun fail to show up to the court, It does look very bad that you allowed a so called victim to show up against her so called abuser, without supporting her, When the case was actually against the Sun and Yourself
It's not always easy to learn from your mistakes, and you're admitting it publicly. And although there's two sides to every story I'll admit when I first read about the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard stuff I did think he was at fault, it wasn't until EVERYTHING came out in the American court that I realised he had been wronged.
Very magnanimous. Relationships can be very complex and you can rarely get to the truth in a 'he said she said, he said he said, she said she said, they said they said situation ( my attempt at being politically correct in 2024)

Absolutely. I want to have more of these sorts of discussions.
Takes a bigger person to do what you just did, have you had a response from Johnny or Amber on this ?

Bring it on 👏
There can be a high price to pay in defence of pride. If the important legal battles are won, move on, let go, use your voice for a greater good.
I don't disagree.
Another remarkable facet to your character. Accepting when you are wrong. Any chance you could get into politics?? We need you there too Dan
Ha, I wish more people in public life would do that for sure.
Ok how about starting your own lifestyle blog?? “Artful Reflections of Opulence” sounds good??
Yes, but no scented candles lol
It’s never easy to admit being wrong, but all of us are fallible. It takes a big person and strength of character to say so.
I appreciate that. Not sure everyone else will have the same reaction, so I appreciate yours!

Manners Maketh Man. Respect Dan Wooton
Exactly, I'm sure I heard my mum and her mum say the same .
Respect for you Dan for this. Takes a strong and decent person to publicly apologise.

Indeed. Most ppl are so gullible and will believe absolutely anything. Or at least anything that suits them for whatever reason.
High respect for this. You don't get many, if any journos admitting when they got it wrong 🌟
Thank God you are not perfect, Dan, otherwise you would be a Leftie Loon!!!

It takes a strong person to apologise when they are wrong and it shows good character.
As for the other two, in my opinion, they were both toxic people and I have zero interest in either.
