Even when he states how angry he is with Amber he still wishes her the best and to heal, now that’s class

[gregoriojrdiokno]

Isaac Baruch was so authentic, raw, and honest. Such a gem!

[lesleybrunet]

You can judge a person by the people they surround them selves with. A 40-year friendship says a lot. Great job by a great friend.

[flamingfoxx]

Imagine getting CACKLED at by a witness you're examining and then having to continue like nothing happened

[embeth]

One of Elaine’s biggest mistakes in this trial was letting Isaac pour his heart out when she asked if he was mad at Amber. She could have cut him off and said it was a yes or no question, non responsive, anything. A real turning point imo. You couldn’t ask for a more honest and credible witness. Not a single moment where he appeared evasive or misleading in any way.

[ABeautfulMess]

I adore him. He's so real in a world of fantasy. Johnny has such loyal friends. Shows his character too.

[casarnp]

This man is a treasure of a friend! The fact that he refused to associate with Amber after her allegations shows his loyalty to Johnny and wisdom in avoiding AH.

[TheFever]

All these stories of kindness from Johnny that were never made public until now. Johnny is an incredible friend.

[kassi.]

You can genuinely feel the love and appreciation that Issac and Johnny have for each other. The way that Johnny is giggling knowing what Issac is about to say is awesome!!! It truly shows what a beautiful human being Johnny Depp is! And I love Issac!!!

[SalterStreet]

You can tell his story is real and he’s remembering true events based on his gestures alone. He looks up when he remembers the 13 floors of the building, he sketches the shape of the penthouse with his hands. Relaxed, natural, and detailed. Just a chef’s kiss witness

[laurapeterson]

I wish I had someone in my life like Isaac. He is truly a genuine soul.

[gregorio]

Isaacs Baruch was so spontaneous. So truthful. And did not have to remember anything. Because he was telling the whole truth. Elaine fumbled. Big time!

[grannyvroomvroom]

This is classic and one of the most sincere demonstrations of Johnny's true character by a dear longterm friend, something Amber Heard will never know.

[moeskeetz]

His testimony obliterated Amber’s defense. I can’t believe Elaine let him say all that he did without an objection. She knew he was telling the truth through those real tears and Amber knew it too .

[LeGioNnd]

"He's called me a cunt". Now that is a sign of true friendship.

[ChrisMorray]

You gotta love this man. He lived a dream thanks to Johnny. Amber goes "People will come out and say anything for him", but honestly who wouldn't come out for him and preach his good name if he let you live in a penthouse to pursue an art career. The lawyers asked about loyalty, but you can see where it comes from: Mutual appreciation. Something Amber doesn't seem to have.

[lmdavtube]

The way JD looks at Isaac is so touching. Genuine affection.

[RubyZanUK]

It's been ten months since I saw this the first time. But I still remember the disgusting belittling comments against Isaac's broken heart and emotional crying over what Amber did. If I were a juror, that would've done it for me. I had zero respect for her and I'm soooo happy Elaine suffered a humiliating defeat.

[marthab]

I watched this live and I’ve read-watched a few times. Isaac’s authenticity is palpable. I want to listen to him tell me stories about his life all day. He needs to start a podcast. I’ll listen!

[ShimitBlast]

Best investment Johnny ever made was becoming his patron. Just goes to show how the kindness you put out returns to you a hundred fold :)
