Thursday 2 June 2022 10:01 PM Kyle Rittenhouse says Johnny Depp's win is 'fueling' him to get moving on suing ... trends now Kyle Rittenhouse said Johnny Depp's win in the defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard is 'fueling' the young man to hurry filing lawsuits against Mark Zuckerberg and up to 15 others for allegedly defaming him. Rittenhouse, 19, who was acquitted on murder charges last year after shooting dead two men during the 2020 Kenosha riots, tweeted on Wednesday that news was coming this week about the defamation cases he plans to file against those who labeled him a 'murderer' and a 'white supremist.' 'Johnny Depp trial is just fueling me, you can fight back against the lies in the media, and you should,' Rittenhouse wrote, saying the news would be announced on Fox and on his The Media Accountability Project website. Attorney Todd McMurtry, who is representing Rittenhouse, told Fox News on Thursday that there will be about 10 to 15 lawsuits filed against 'large defendants,' including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Kyle Rittenhouse said he is preparing to file is lawsuits against those who allegedly defamed him when they labeled him a 'murderer' and a 'white supremacist' Rittenhouse's attorney named Meta CEO and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, pictured, as a key figure who will be sued by the 19-year-old, along with nine to 15 others Rittenhouse said he was fueled to speed up the lawsuits following Johnny Depp's (pictured) victory against ex-wife Amber Heard in their $100 million defamation lawsuit McMurtry singled out Zuckerberg over Facebook's alleged designation of the Kenosha shootings as a 'mass murder incident.' 'This was not a mass murder incident,' McMurtry told Fox. 'It was clearly factually false.' 'To call somebody a mass murderer is seriously defamatory. And then to use the power of social media to basically… censor any views that would take opposition to that mass murderer statement is a serious effort to destroy his character,' he said. 'It was seriously mistaken and seriously defamatory.' 'Facebook has an outsized voice, they can do a lot of damage, as compared to somebody maybe who has a small blog with 100 subscribers. But we're going to look at everything that we have access to and that's been published, and decide which ones are actionable,' he added. McMurtry has previously represented Nicholas Sandmann, a high school student who sued NBC, CNN and the Washington Post after they labeled him a racist when he was spotted beside fellow Covington Catholic High School students shouting slurs at Indigenous protestors. Sandmann had claimed he was there to try and defuse the tense situation, and settled the lawsuits on undisclosed terms. Earlier this year, Rittenhouse suggested that The View's Whoopi Goldberg and Cenk Uygur, of the Young Turks, would be among the people he plans to sue. Rittenhouse (right) had told Tucker Carlson back in February that Whoopi Goldberg and Cenk Uygur, of the Young Turks, could be among the people he sues Speaking to Tucker Carlson in February, Rittenhouse said:' 'We are looking at quite a few politicians, celebrities, athletes, Whoopi Goldberg is on the list. 'She called me a murderer after I was acquitted by a jury of my peers. She went on to still say that, and there's others.' He also revealed that Cenk Uygur the founder of the Young Turks show is on his scope .The Young Turks show is a liberal and left-wing news commentary show on YouTube that additionally appears on selected television channels. 'We're going to hold everybody who lied about me accountable, such as everybody who lied called me a White supremacist,' Rittenhouse told Carlson. 'They're all going to be held accountable. And we're going to handle them in a courtroom.' Last year, a Wisconsin jury acquitted Rittenhouse of all charges. They ranged from murder to reckless endangerment. 'My trial exposed a deep corruption in our media that cannot go unanswered. Their blatant lies, defamation, and propaganda were malicious attempts to tear our nation apart and destroy my life — and I am committed to holding them accountable,' he said following the verdict. 'Me and my team have decided to launch The Media Accountability Project as a tool to help fundraise and hold the media accountable for the lies they said and deal with them in court,' he explained. 'I don't want to see anybody else have to deal with what I went through. So I want to hold them accountable for what they did to me, because I don't want to see anybody have to go through what I went through.' McMurtry told Fox that Rittenhouse and his team will be able to prove damages to the 19-year-old's reputation and that his 'job prospects are permanently diminished.' 'Not to mention what they call perpetual reputational harm, which means that Kyle is never going to have an interaction with anybody where they don't know who he is. And this is going to follow him around for the rest of his life,' the lawyer added. 'Everybody's going to prejudge him in every new interaction that he has with everybody for the rest of his life, and that's called perpetual reputational harm. … The social media hysteria caused all this because people can't act reasonably and rationally in certain circumstances.'
