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

999 replies

Whatdoyouthinkaboutthisone · 08/07/2020 18:53

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!

Thank you!

Loads of celebrities have been arrested and convicted for far worse than what Depp has been accused of and they're fine and still as successful as ever.

Does anyone remember how, in the nineties, after beating up his wife and her being pictured in the papers with a bruised face and her arm in a sling, Gazza did a McDonalds advert? I remember being really shocked by it at the time, but there didn’t seem to be a fuss about it. I hope it might be different today, though.

Why have you put JK Rowling in that list, CeciledeVolanges? For her ‘Wrongthink’?

JackiesArmy · 12/07/2020 20:31

That's a very odd list to put JK Rowling in Angry. She isn't just a writer, she's also a philanthropist and has done wonderful work with her various charities. As well as being a thoroughly fantastic human being.

JackiesArmy · 12/07/2020 20:32

x-post Dozer!

Russellbrandshair · 12/07/2020 20:55

Agree- JK has NO place amongst paedos and abusers ffs, JK is awesome.

Yes I also thought J K Rowling shouldn't be on that list

SirVixofVixHall · 12/07/2020 21:50

JK Rowling on list with “criminal, worthless people “ are you on glue ?

SirVixofVixHall · 12/07/2020 21:52

Spending five million dollars shooting a dead man’s dust into space when that money could have done so much good, is decadent to the point of obscenity.

JKR is a goddess FFS - how can you put her in with that company?! Even if you disagree with her views she’s not a bloody paedophile FFS Angry

CeciledeVolanges · 12/07/2020 22:42

Not at all! I absolutely worship JKR, have taken her books away with me when I ran away from home and so on. She is amazing. Just someone who has been on the receiving end of a lot of abuse recently.

CeciledeVolanges · 12/07/2020 22:45

Sorry to have offended people, I was just trying to show how honourable, lovely people can end up on lists with people who aren’t. No I don’t have drug problems but do have massive self harm issues, thanks for your replies and I’m sorry if I have offended you. I wanted to write to JKR but didn’t think I was worth her time honestly.

Why did you include her in a list with Jonny Depp (alleged child abuser), Michael Jackson (alleged child abuser), Rolf Harris (convicted child abuser)? We’re not stupid!

She really isn't a goddess. Jeez can't we have anywhere on the Internet that doesn't descend into mindless jkr worship?

Has anyone actually even read The Casual Vacancy??

SisterAgatha · 12/07/2020 22:47

Yep. I’ve read it. I like JK.

Railingsohno · 12/07/2020 22:50

@famousforwrongreason I’m being slightly tongue in cheek. I know she’s not perfect. I do however think she’s incredibly brave, inspiring, articulate and a brilliant role model for young women.

CeciledeVolanges · 12/07/2020 22:51

Yes, I’m not stupid either. I was making a list of people who have been blacklisted on the Internet. Just to be absolutely clear, Jackson was a child abuser, Harris looks like a child abuser, they are everywhere. Rowling is a totally outstanding, shining example of a human being who has saved my life several times and improved it many more times. She is neeessly abused online because she is categorised (stupidly) as being on the same side as some of the other people I mentioned.

Railingsohno · 12/07/2020 22:52

Sorry meant to say JDepp was alleged wife abuser not child abuser! Confused

CeciledeVolanges · 12/07/2020 22:54

And no, I haven’t fucking read the casual vacancy. I have really severe PTSD and the part in Harry Potter where he tells Voldemort he’s the weak one and will never know love does it for me. She’s done enough with that. People get singled out and cancelled for less than that. That’s why I put them in the same list.

CeciledeVolanges · 12/07/2020 22:56

There is a needlessly there too, uncorrected.

Railingsohno · 12/07/2020 22:59

OK @CeciledeVolanges thanks for clarifying Flowers

CeciledeVolanges · 12/07/2020 23:04

Thank you. I honestly didn’t mean to characterise JKR as someone who has at all done wrong because I love her to bits and agree with what she has been saying! But they do all seem to be on the same unmentionable list, don’t they :(

YesIDoLoveCrisps · 12/07/2020 23:06

The whole time this was going on they were photographed on red carpets in beautiful designer clothes looking like a perfect couple, holding hands and smiling. It’s crazy.
