Is abusive based on evidence at trial that he is now refuting.

Am I right in thinking he's now suing his own previous legal team and Amber for defamation of character (for being called abusive)?

The reason the assault on her past girlfriend was dropped was due to them visiting the state not living there, it’s all in court documents online.

Smotheroffive · 26/03/2019 00:17

Wasn't this misreported, and Heard was immediately released without charge?

OP posts:
MorganKitten · 26/03/2019 00:21

Heard was arrested and her mug shot taken, her case was assigned a number and she appeared in King County District Court in Seattle the next day and prosecutors declined to press charges against her.
Doesn’t mean she isn’t a former abuser to her partners.

Smotheroffive · 26/03/2019 00:48

What's all that about then, why would they want her arrested and then back off?

I don't think that's true actually. I don't see the point in only making conjecture about 1 of them! The female police officer Did make a statement that she had seen Heard and partner in a domestic argument and the she has seen Heard punch her on the arm. She did make a facebook statement hat she was pissed off at being called homphobic.

Why not belive that woman?

Why do all the minimising?

I hope Heard isn't lying, but am not ready to leap to her defence no matter what!

The “Mark” on her face from him throwing a phone at her wasn’t there the day after she said it happened and then a week later or whenever there it was!
Lots of people in her building said she didn’t have a mark on her.
I don’t believe he was abusive ,I believe they were in a volatile relationship and they are as bad as each other

I don't care either way about Johnny Depp, and I'd never seen Amber Heard before now. But I just googled, and the only photos I can find of her injured appear to all be the same injury. Where are the dozens of photos?

shedid · 26/03/2019 08:54

Twitter is full of the Johnny Depp fans saying that he was abused and he's the one who has been wronged.

Reminds me so much of my abusive ex who accused me of being abusive when I'd finally had enough and said he had to leave. He went on a total smear campaign.

QueenOfTheTofuTree · 26/03/2019 09:17

It's perfectly normal for bruises not to appear straight away...

whitesoxx · 26/03/2019 09:38

You're all very sure that what you have read is the true version.

Except it's all very conflicting! Hmm

whitesoxx · 26/03/2019 09:39

And yes, a finger can easily be severed with a vodka bottle.

Patroclus · 26/03/2019 10:54

Hes starting to believe he is living in one of his films. It happened to Brad Pitt as well and nearly to DiCaprio before he pulled back.

All the self-conscious monologues and attempts at wit in his interviews. He'd be a fucking nightmare if he wasnt famous.

Besides it’s very dodgy that every article and forum where Depp’s long, loooooooong history of abuse and violence is discussed is suddenly overrun with people fixating on whether Amber Heard grabbed her girlfriend’s arm one single time years ago.

Maximising one whilst minimising the other. Good job.

Smotheroffive · 27/03/2019 03:37

So explain how throwing a vodka bottle hitting your finger severs it from your hand, as I'm struggling with that.

He also just presents as very weird and detached.

And we have seen people wrongly accused of things for just that reason.

postiepostie · 27/03/2019 07:53

I don't get why the severed finger is so difficult to understand.

He puts his hand up to stop flying vodka bottle hitting him in the face. Bottle smashes on impact and slices his finger severing it.

The exact same thing happened to a friend of mine only the bottle wasn't a vodka one Hmm

CuriousaboutSamphire · 27/03/2019 09:04

Bloody weird thread!

So many knowing the unknowable!

Pk37 · 27/03/2019 13:17

Also hate the fact that because he is the man he must be the abusibe one .. why?
Because she claimed it first?
Because he looks abit “creepy” as some have said ?
Double standards ..
maybe, just maybe she’s a vile person and she’s made all this up because she’s vindictive or maybe he was the instigator but we’ll never know

My son nearly severed his finger on a glass jar just before Christmas as it fell out of the cupboard, it broke on impact with his hand and he had a very nasty gash on his finger .
Was sorted at the hospital

QueenOfTheTofuTree · 27/03/2019 13:49

Because he has a very long history of being an abusive violent twat where as she doesn't. And no that one incident at the airport ten years ago (that might not even have happened!) doesn't suddenly change or excuse his long history of proven violence.

It is a huge double standard to constantly reference the alleged airport incident to try and prove she must have been abusive whilst ignoring his long history of proven violent outbursts. Either past history is evidence or it isn't but you can't have one rule for one party and a completely different one to another.

Amber Heard may be no angel or a particularly nice person but Johnny Depp is certainly not a pleasant person. And before anyone jumps in about his charity work or how they know someone who met him once and he was very sweet, blah, blah, blah; anyone who goes around assaulting people to the extent he does is not a nice or a sweet person no matter how nice he may appear to other people. Anyone who then also assaults someone and then brags about it afterwards is not a pleasant person.

Depp may have a photo of a severed finger but Heard also had the bruise on her face. I realise there were people doubting it and doubting her story of she ended up with bruise which people are free to do. But it is a massive double standard to question her bruise and the story of how she came to get it whilst accepting his injury and his story of how it happened without question. You either accept both their versions or you question both of them but again, you can't have one rule for one person and a completely different rule for another.

You want to talk about double standards then go talk to Depp defenders. They're full of them.

Pk37 · 27/03/2019 14:31

Both sides are full of them!
That’s the point

BoneyBackJefferson · 27/03/2019 18:35

QueenOfTheTofuTree

Where so you get "alleged" from, it is a well documented incident.

And once again for clarity, I think that they are both as bad as each other.
