Johnny Depp Vs Amber Heard verdict discussion

Post Reply New Topic

In my mind, she has figuratively gone from this . . .

They are both pieces of garbage and the fact that people are even interested in this at all proves that the human race is doomed. I'm just glad this blatant media circus act of stupidity will be over soon. Too bad the same can't be said about everything else about this horrible, horrible world.

And the men out there are just loving this because she's a woman, and all women are evil and to blame for all men's problems. We're the reason why men are becoming incels, committing suicide and shooting up schools. I get it, women need to be suppressed and treated like sub-humans. Good thing I was never a human to begin with.

I've not been following this at all as it doesn't interest me. The odd snippets I've accidentally seen on the TV news gave me the impression that neither Heard or Depp are very pleasant characters.

So Depp had drug and drinking issues and was known to get into fights and get arrested. But he has never ever sexually assaulted a woman nor has he ever threatened nor laid his hands on a woman. This was a lie Amber made in court and it was proven to be false.

I guess to Amber him cussing and slamming things and throwing wouldn't be abusive enough so she had to fabricate and it was proven she faked her bruises.

Plus audio was shown in court of her egging and taunting him and not letting him leave the room. Then she tried to use the rumor thst he shoved Kate Moss down the stairs but she testified and said this is not what happened.

I think the fact more people believe johnny, those who still believe Amber won't affect him. I see he has moved on because he is in London performing and lot of people showed up, even Kate Moss. I don't think he would have sued if he knew he wouldn't win.

Amber was totally insane in court and so dramatic while Johnny looked hurt and broken.

Been planning to rewatch Secret Window, I think it's quite fitting.

And Heard's lawyers were trying hard to make him out to be the abuser and kept interrupting him.

And now I see AH supporters saying her lawyers let her down or that she had bad ones.

Well the one who objected to his own questions was pretty bad.

I'm going to be honest, the strength and persistence of the vitriol against Amber Heard is something that disturbs me greatly.

NONE OF US KNOW THE TRUE STORY.

My first post on the trial indicated I saw reason to doubt her, but feeling uncomfortable with her actions and motives is not the same as knowing.

Having a jury return a verdict is not the same as knowing.

People are doing a whole lot of assuming here and making judgements that WILL harm domestic abuse victims. How any of you, or even the jury, feel about the facts doesn't matter when it comes to the lesson a domestic abuse victim will take home. All they will see is someone who tried to tell her story and was shredded to pieces for doing so.

It isn't as if there is no documentation of Depp acting in an abusive manner towards her. There is. Texts, things he's confessed to, etc. While it is entirely possible that his actions were a response to her actions, the fact remains that he also acted in an abusive / toxic manner in that relationship. THAT is what victims are seeing.

Lawyer friends of mine are surprised by the verdict. After all, she never mentioned Depp by name in the ad, or provided identifying characteristics. She described herself. It was a "me" statement; how she experienced the reactions of SOCIETY to her claims, including ones she made at a very young age. It says nothing about what happened in the marriage. It was all about the reactions of people and institutions around her. While she should have known that people would see her ex in the timeline, the jury result says, to me, more about how the power of Depp's personality than the reality of what happened in that marriage.

I don't mind that people agree with the verdict. I don't mind that people think Amber is shady. I mind the certainty and level of vitriol with which people speak.

I've worked with domestic abuse victims. It is very, very VERY hard for them to get anyone to believe them.

I am also going to repeat, cussing and slamming things and throwing things IS a form of abuse that can be every bit as psychologically damaging as getting hit. That is extremely important to understand.

A thing with Depp is he's pushing 60, and there's only so far the leading man hart throb thing can be taken. Him, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise are becoming the older generation of actors who've had their heyday.
