Amber Heard & Johnny Depp....Your thoughts?

[Whatdoyouthinkaboutthisone]

I have seen this in the news over the past couple of days and wasn't really sure what to think. It sounds to me like a very volatile relationship and it may be that they are both abusers. Or at the least they are completely incompatible with each other.

Today I noticed that Amber Heard was walking into court and she had a scarf around her face. Then she removed the scarf and smiled for everyone and waved and seemed to enjoy the cameras being there. It's just an observation but maybe the accusations of her being a narcissist could be accurate? Or is she maybe trying to put a brave face on it all under what must be a very stressful situation for all concerned?

Johnny Depp kept his mask on but was also waving for the cameras I should add.

Anyway, I'm well aware it's none of my business really, it was just something I had thought about after seeing the news today and wondered what others thought!

And smashing up and setting fire to someone’s possessions is considered a form of DV per any DV charity.
So is shitting in their bed with her friend.

I also have my opinion and that is she's the abuser.

According to Twitter JD and PB are legends despite their corpse rapey texts.

Using Depp's edited recordings as some kind of gotcha is both intellectually and morally dishonest.
Depp has admitted in court to: throwing a vodka bottle when angry, slamming cupboard doors around AH when angry and high; wrecking and attacking a couch when in a hotel with Kate Moss.
This is clearly volatile and abusive.
Amber hasn't admitted to any such behaviour in a court of law. Her behaviour will be scrutinised when she testifies.
But at the current time, Depp has condemned himself with his own words.

Just to right some earlier statements on this thread, Kate Moss was not sleeping in the next room when he trashed the room, it was during an argument between them. Report from 1994.

It’s a real shame when a man and a woman can do all the things listed on a universally respected DV charity website about what to look for in a violent relationship, but only the woman be called the “abuser”.

It is possible for both people in a relationship to be guilty of abuse.

In fact, I’m going to change that sentence around - but only the woman be called the “abuser”.

Equally wrong.

It’s a check list. Did they do the abusive things outlined as abuse on a website designed to help victim identify abuse. Yes, he did some, she did some. We shouldn’t be saying I believe him or I believe her. We should be condemning all and both the behaviours, not suggesting one is worse than the other, he did this so she can do that, or vice versa. Lets look at our own reactions to this and understand why we feel the need to find an excuse for either of them, so that we can better understand abuse and teach our children how to recognise potential abusive behaviour.

And of course I meant man in that changed around sentence

Amber MUST BE HEARD!

Well one party has a history of being abusive towards their partners.......and it isn't Depp so 💁🏻‍♀️

Except it is. He’s been heavily rumoured to be a domestic abuser for 30 years, there were abuse rumours surrounding at least three of his previous relationships (rumours that pre-date him meeting Heard) and he has a long history of violence.

Amber Heard has never been accused of abuse by anyone she’s been involved with prior to this.

People witH too much money having a slagging match through the courts. Instead of spending 1millon each on lawyers they should donate to domestic abuse victims.

All the fame and money, but underneath, just a couple of rough people who are a bit odd and looney.

@possiblepickle

heartsonacake He is worse because he should have known better. But don’t they all think through their dicks at that age? No fool like an old fool and all that. He is 57, she is 34. That IS half his age. Unless of course you ignore statistics. He could even be her grand pa! 🤮

It's not half his age though 😂

It’s not. Hence the joke about stats. Rounded the numbers.

Yep and I think some of Depp’s fan army are finding their way on to this thread. I doubt there is anything that could be said about him that would change their opinion of him.

In the reports from court yesterday there was something like an incident described on a plane in which she says he kicked her. An assistant tells Heard that Depp cried when he heard what he had done to her whilst in a drunken rage. JD didn’t dispute the fact that she was told this but said it was just said to appease her and that he didn’t actually kick her...bollocks!

Don’t get me wrong, she may well be violent and toxic too, she doesn’t come out of this well at all, but I can absolutely believe that she suffered violence from him. People’s blind loyalty on Twitter is just weird.

I also agree with the pp who said that a drunken and/or drug fuelled man raging and slamming doors/smashing things up is abusive and it is shocking he doesn’t seem to have awareness of this.

Depp seems to be going for the Alex Salmond defense - admit everything except the main point (the physical abuse in his case).

Even if he wins any of these libel actions, hard to see how he’ll work again after all that’s come out.

The drug and alcohol binges sound miserable and sad, nothing counter culture or glamorous, he might he as well have been drinking white lightening on a beachfront.

I have no idea how I’d side if I had to judge this - the only winner here is the gossip mags and papers who I’m sure are raking it in as always.

It’s kind of odd that they recorded their arguments. Why would anyone do that?

There was a reference somewhere to it being “homework for couples therapy”.

I think the lawyers involved are also doing very very well

I think it also shows how huge JD ego is and how he has become so used to being pandered to his reputation of being a nice cool guy has to remain regardless of what else comes out

He is clinging on to an image of himself that was created that made him so successful he isn’t that person anymore (and probably hasn’t been for a long time)

That photo of him curled up on the floor by his bed screams sad old addict - I can’t see people regarding him as cool after this. The only thing up for debate is whether he’s a sad old abusive addict or not.

Agree enthusiasm forgot about the lawyers

I haven't read the full thread yet but I'm going to scroll through in a minute to see everyone's views. It certainly seems to have been a very toxic relationship though on both sides.

My main thought at the minute however is that somewhere in the world Paul Bettany is sitting with his head in his hands thinking FFS stop mentioning my name.
