One of the most common techniques to do this today is to file a defamation lawsuit. <i>Silenced </i>explores this global phenomenon through the lens of both high-profile and under-examined cases. One of them is Brittany Higgins, who reported <a class="link" href="https://link.mail.beehiiv.com/ss/c/u001.xKky0oHbIR8GsvQMwFDbzxPBF0gxMwgdOcwYhHWfHMfCDX_ozVOr8RNI2fX7eA-rFsisqjmYgSXWX9tKRsFp4B5ytCGbOYs7xQlzV7J6jsEfYe39SldE9YLM4aqJ0H1qSKufcXdde0inJPAb2PFevoiF0oj8tD0IWW1fRmk75Y83hxMhRo29DrejnGJNwxrKB_4SlKYi5Ku0XukB6GGZlG5SLMPdXRketLH-PmboCgGL4RvqSnbpW77SN1gEU4kAvvMc9rtxNSQvZe2m96bU-rAEkKGOIV4L-onGdGn32ASIrK0E1qFeNkcOBI5u-ZtPXxrSuXofA4v4WtIse1Seu6vZ70XG4bpdXIjB_zMZU13x9GeabNLv9CPej3S0r3az/4nx/xcBycyeTTqy6Mheti6ZK4g/h27/h001.DxCLDt2Sr0mztt0CpmoP9s4ilWZ7ZUFpX5KPg7yo5Q8" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><span>being raped</span></a> in Australia’s Parliament House by a fellow staffer.

Robinson worked directly with Heard when Depp sued the U.K. outlet <i>The Sun </i>and lost, with the judge in the case finding evidence that Depp abused Heard throughout their relationship. But when Depp sued Heard directly in the U.S., the case turned into a mass media spectacle that upended the premise of the #MeToo movement. Depp’s victory and the public’s abuse of Heard have inspired a slew of copycats and is now considered one of the major turning points in #MeToo backlash. </p></td></tr><tr><td class="dd" align="left" style="padding:0px 15px;text-align:left;word-break:break-word;"><p style="mso-line-height-alt:150.0%;"> Heard’s detractors worked as an online mob to smear not only her reputation, but also anyone who defended her, pushing trending hashtags like “#AmberHeardIsALiar” and #AmberHeardIsAnAbuser” and review-bombing Heard’s lawyers and expert witnesses on Google. They harassed anyone who spoke up in Heard’s favor online. I have folders of screenshots of harassment I received for reporting on the disinformation campaign against her. And now Miles says that anti-Heard trolls are attacking <i>Silenced </i>in a similar fashion, review-bombing the film without even watching it. </p></td></tr><tr><td class="dd" align="left" style="padding:0px 15px;text-align:left;word-break:break-word;"><p style="mso-line-height-alt:150.0%;"> “In a way, the response to the film is proving the point of the film,” Miles said. “The lack of empathy, I just find staggering.” </p></td></tr><tr><td class="dd" align="left" style="padding:0px 15px;text-align:left;word-break:break-word;"><p style="mso-line-height-alt:150.0%;"> My hope is that <i>Silenced </i>can be distributed in the U.S. and beyond, so that people can really grapple with just how dire the circumstances are for survivors seeking justice. There’s a lot of resistance to the idea that survivors are mainly punished further by the institutions that are supposed to help them, but it’s proven true again and again. If this documentary is given a larger platform, it will broaden perspectives and change minds. Miles told me that some viewers have already told her it changed their minds about Heard. Now we need people to understand the stakes are just as high for every victim. </p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td align="center" valign="top"><table role="none" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"><tr><td><tr><td class="b" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#030712" style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;border-style:solid;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color: #FFFFFF;border-bottom-left-radius:10px;border-bottom-right-radius:10px;"><table role="none" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"><tr><td align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#030712" style="padding:12px"><table role="none" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"><tr><td><span style="padding-left:1px;"></span></td><td align="center" valign="middle" width="75" style="width:75px;"><a href="https://link.mail.beehiiv.com/ss/c/u001.xKky0oHbIR8GsvQMwFDbzxgpDGDt5UAe01pW-E9gqBJV-dvfECpvW0U0iZtqBj35VqW-OVC379y3YmtrzlttWt9VA2fiQ9jDodqIWtxSdF5QQpjzzRKPYSIodr6Yvwob6tHUdrrmLO6n7wsHi7jvwoP-MG0QPtQhg6z-vYG3XgdxvmLzTSPuC7u917Yv9B_zWVwsnx3sjPNRaTeoWqiEXIw9VaKypnAVxjof4PQgt3u4y19rutnK1nr7pTT77yw7AV3BTYok4l78k35fuFFhFw/4nx/xcBycyeTTqy6Mheti6ZK4g/h31/h001.oBCRmGxoAED-mIeorBNHmTjxUV_JsdIlLwrQlJiSnSk" style="text-decoration:none;"><img width="22" height="22" alt="ig" border="0" style="display:block;max-width:22px;color:light" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/static_assets/instagram_light.png"/></a></td><td align="center" valign="middle" width="75" style="width:75px;"><a href="https://link.mail.beehiiv.com/ss/c/u001.uP0QS_diFLgi8m-4cLSdATZxPzwAuOxbPiu_KooIzNrER-GBudIVgRwOdhg5GZGUdgHJTqU0td-p1H0SOOnP3f9mOPXqxa12nCpD5ihN2b0NtPJKmxMCca9RS9-9uDRYqb68NArK8QN98SaAol8ENmyL9OavzHJBjCXoqFIC1vP5GihAuQA2Pl9CDfEjV6ROQYxEKFe6IrCv1JWgJ56w3BbjJx_pmFeOIYTfVpJ7K4CYkiokovb8FiuBxwXM-8wv27GD8JDxcRn0APRuaC8DRVFCKnShQ_zG6BwJRybUjSk/4nx/xcBycyeTTqy6Mheti6ZK4g/h32/h001.CXz6QMBfT_kHO5Sr2birG8kWusVlNnCG77iW-ke1Ksw" style="text-decoration:none;"><img width="22" height="22" alt="in" border="0" style="display:block;max-width:22px;color:light" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/bluesky_white.png"/></a></td><td><span style="padding-left:1px;"></span></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td height="10" style="line-height:1px;font-size:1px;height:10px;"> </td></tr><tr><td class="w" align="center" valign="top" style="padding:15px 15px 15px 15px;"><table role="none" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"><tr><td align="center" valign="top"><p style="font-family:'Verdana',Geneva,sans-serif;color:#FFFFFF!important;"> Update your email preferences or unsubscribe <a class="link" href="https://link.mail.beehiiv.com/ss/c/u001.FIK02fInvGXCNK3vQPbydX2TX2bVgL9wMkHYjIaKRxyJKQMByLjRtLuEzrdk5MxSr-XFAK80kYc1nEVBATteNAjAKaKa8Tf2zV0EYs0GmEWREuqq68X3pAX4GcTmOOpm33Lwgysv8DwBYci_TdD9CMyl4JPFQf1mvPnEpOpLiiiv-FXuxXhANjiddjN7RuNzd0QOXvHdr5LnI-PEGmbgSpojz_ImtYj-ZAzXj0ctojfRuL9ExJAhN9QB29OCB419XVZViywbXjnQ2TiPtgipEiLRBC3NgH5BdCq-fv-Bxsc3JsY2ta9E7-hsAGna4yTIKn6sSEbd_ReXAGFXlckqsmZgMRbdMyXe7uAAnHm3NKsYXkRIJO6hfP9U2z34TeyU-UNXmI_WqEQDQFR8J4rZR0kn8lmAyav4hcYP2EW_qZopL5HJ-fs8JJnUDGHhy8csANneAGUesvEi0YTPdqzF4yClqDARIWuHd9_HjbwupBrZJ8vJvfpPk2mI-VzqIR93n42zO7oXyz-M0GNppPNzNfM8R5mL5ycfSV4Ii3zH6GXOy33k1aB9fMtAimvX2b1BJkR2VS0E8eYd9Nktw8nx8eACaFoQ3q7dnngmWsNNBPBTfGW1GeTYebYt-RGBFyyNsfRrrI_LlmveFdNlZkmWBIS6VdjIUIHdyuFF5qaADx6lXW3zuR2SWpOTHH1oTGfdem158nvDf6IK6ERYqPLWK2wz9Lzr0XschVuLhD2wgEFanE6GhHFKf7IwhJX5eJxrJHsP2UwnUCyikU7XrrRmsDwfearPJmKjRFDww5B6rDyPR0oRKu5WjxPA1WESsKg1737O63SLVAsmmOJmKay7ZO5QKCjOQfHm_v4ZilJnKgNf8I9svcnyP46ZWEBenAtlVQCZteblMHjqMYxIimQw9lv8V42zES6bvO5suFd1mOJu5shXVz3q1hZikrzafTHcGuwifD4_6VfKZpGiFWW27xd_A1XmUBC1zzSD3FIT1QBvoH6_VNitJA0DB4UN8k2z4QSxNks85h6I2cIAEBR0Eg/4nx/xcBycyeTTqy6Mheti6ZK4g/h33/h001.jRieKve0s6TkDUpYBhpE-KrLFvbR-1d-MDrqde60RRQ" style="text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-color:#FFFFFF!important;color:#FFFFFF!important;"> here</a></p><p class="copyright" style="font-family:'Verdana',Geneva,sans-serif;color:#FFFFFF!important;"> © 2026 Spitfire News </p><p style="font-family:'Verdana',Geneva,sans-serif;color:#FFFFFF!important;"> 228 Park Ave S, #29976, New York, New York 10003, United States </p></td></tr><tr style="display: table-row !important;"><td align="center" valign="top" style="padding-top:20px;" style="display:table-cell !important;"><table role="none" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" style="display:table !important;"><tr style="display:table-row !important;"><td class="u" align="center" valign="middle" height="32" style="height:32px;display:table-cell !important;
