Page 15 | Part 2 -AIBU to wonder why so many people assume Johnny Depp is the good guy and Amber Heard is the villain

Just thought I would start a follow on thread for anyone interested in the trial. I have kept it in AIBU so that it is easier for previous posters from Part 1 to find. We are halfway through and have heard JD's testimony so next week we will hear from AH.

She's going through so many different emotions in such a short space of time

ENoeuf · 04/05/2022 20:03

I could tell you stuff that happened but not in so much detail. I had my head smacked on a shelf deliberately but I could tell you I was late home but not the in between words.

Same here. I can't remember all the details of my abuse, some things are blank. I think she's acting and overacting at that.

See I thought she was coming across delightfully when she was talking about growing up. Now she's talking about "the first time he hit me" I find her testimony unbelievable. How many times has she mentioned something being the worst thing that ever happened to her? I am up to three minimum. Her moods change very rapidly.

Midlifemusings · 04/05/2022 20:05

I have never seen any of her movies but now I have a sense of her acting.

This is bizarre. It feels like a dramatization. I am not sure if it is just over rehearsed or memorized or what but it is so strange.

This is very weird to watch. It doesn't feel natural.

Her mood changed quickly when his team tried their first objection. It was a flash but it was there.

ENoeuf · 04/05/2022 20:07

Yeah I feel like it’s quite difficult to talk about it all for me. I wouldn’t be rambling about wine.

ENoeuf · 04/05/2022 20:09

theres too many words. I would be able to tell you about the fear of this brooding man sitting in darkness waiting for me but not what he said etc .
i don’t know what I think.

Completely agree. Way too many words. For me, when telling what had happened, I didn't linger on the actual physical harm part. She spent a long time on that, describing every little detail.

Giraffesandbottoms · 04/05/2022 20:11

She’s talking way way way too much it’s really like listening to someone telling a story

Boulshired · 04/05/2022 20:11

i find you only really get to see the person on cross. I finding her unbelievably but I found Depp the same at this stage.

MrsH1983 · 04/05/2022 20:13

If you watch her chin, it never quivers. Real emotions when crying make your chin quiver but this is not happening on AH

Boulshired · 04/05/2022 20:18

This is also the problem with pre trial prep, it’s learnt from script so becomes a performance which in fairness is not her fault it feels like acting.

W1ldl1f3 · 04/05/2022 20:21

I’ve been in this situation. I recognise so much. People vary in they show emotion and speak.

What are all the pills and jelly beans?

@Boulshired

It is very theatrical on top of sounding scripted. I agree she is probably over prepared but it just comes across as so insencere and disingenuous. Cross will be interesting for sure but this makes it really hard to get any sense of truth right now as is disjointed and clearly rehearsed vs recall.

MrsH1983 · 04/05/2022 20:26

Did anyone on here who has suffered DV confide in family as soon as it happened? I hid mine for 9 years and my own father didn't know anything about it.

Giraffesandbottoms · 04/05/2022 20:30

When is cross?

ENoeuf · 04/05/2022 20:30

@MrsH1983 Well mine started a massive row on our wedding day and ended up half naked shouting in the car park so…..

So sorry to hear that. Sounds awful.

MrsH1983 · 04/05/2022 20:32

Giraffesandbottoms · 04/05/2022 20:30

When is cross?

I'm guessing it will be tomorrow or towards the end of the week. They are off all next week as well.

@MrsH1983

I find it hard to reconcile that Amber's mother would express so much positivity towards Johnny in private texts even after the divorce after hearing about her daughter being violently attacked and psychologically abused for 5 years. That is hard for me to accept. I have a young family member that was abused by a partner and everyone, including her own very dysfunctional and abusive family, encouraged and supported her to get her out and were angry, upset at him. No one was sending him texts saying how amazing he was and how we still loved him as family and sorry for all the hassle.

My mum did to be fair. She tried to be super nice to him to appease him. There was no challenge to him from anyone. Even when I ran away and stayed out with a family friend those people were polite to him after I went back (they were scared of him).

This is an excellent point and one I never thought of. I think of my own daughter and if she had confided in me and I knew she had been abused, I would never want to speak to her ex again and I definitely wouldn't be pleasant to him. Excellent point.
