Amber Heard is facing the "most voluminous" social media smear campaign ever

[CaptSkippy]

I just came across this link on Github and I suppose it should not be shocked by this, but the sheer numbers do shock me. It's the number of posts, comments, tweets and accounts that have been used to spread misinformation about Amber Heard. Here is the link:

Am I being unreasonable to be shocked by this? Why on Earth is this woman targeted with so much hate? Why are MRA's scope-locked on her in particular?

My life, memories and experience isn't a bloody narrative, how reductive and ignorant of you.

I didn't understand the data from the original link, how many attacks of her have been made by bots?

The whole thing is disturbing, Johnny Depp is elevated to god like status and Amber Heard will likely never work again.

I'm sure she can sell her story (again) to TMZ and Daily Mail
Ironic and a bit sad

threecupsofteaminimum I’m sorry it wasn’t meant that way. The narrative is that a victim should act a certain way or survivor as for many that is the term they prefer to use

my experience is completely different to yours of my confrontation with my extremely violent step father and my violent ex partner (and reaction to both of them were different)

there isn’t a wrong or right way for a victim/survivor to react/behave that is the narrative we have to move on from its damaging to anyone who have been abused

I've worked with survivors of domestic abuse for almost 2 decades. I've watched some of the trial. They are both unhappy people and both victims of DV from childhood but Amber's testemony just does not add up. She does appear to have an altered view of events and loves the attention. She is arrogant, self important and emotionally erratic. She is far too confident near him to be as terrified as she states.

Neither are lily white, both have been verbally vile to each other but there is no way her body language matches what she says. She is making some of it up but maybe not all of it. He is not as humble as he's making out and does have an air of power and entitlement but that's understandable considering the circus of people and fans surrounding him which is why Amber is vilified to such an extent.

Johnny is underplaying his part in the toxic relationship and I do think emotionally he was abusive to her, they did become physical but she really was the aggressor and pursued him for a reaction. She got a reaction and now she's the sole victim. 🤔. He can't have been pleasant to live with when addicted and drinking so much.

They need to go very separate ways and have no contact or comment on each other. This isn't going to happen. I am relieved they didn't have children together.

There are something like 5 BILLION people using social media - of course any celeb in a high profile 'celebrity gossip' situation will generate a staggering number of unpleasant hashtags, tweets, comments etc. If anyone were amassing the numbers about Depp over the years, there'd be rather a lot too.

Lets not forget, Heard tipped off the press. Heard has lied repeatedly in court. She has had people lie for her, she has via her legal team, hired some absolutely ridiculous 'expert' witnesses to back up her lies - I can only assume because anyone with any credibility said 'hell no I will not argue that for you in court'...

She has done herself no favours and at the heart of all this, there is the very real possibility she HAS lied about abuse, she has made herself out to be a victim when she is not one, that she has used domestic violence and the very real horrors some people suffer, to raise her own status and by assocation, income.

there isn’t a wrong or right way for a victim/survivor to react/behave that is the narrative we have to move on from its damaging to anyone who have been abused

I agree. There's no wrong way...except lying. That's a wrong way.

I keep on getting anti amber heard propaganda on my Instagram feed - which I use to look at cute dogs.

I presume it’s Johnny depp paying for an awful lot of social media pr and that then other rich men who hate women going with it.

the comments on this thread show how effective it can be.

so many men and women hate women

my view is that she is clearly a troubled and unpleasant woman. And he is clearly a troubled and unpleasant mature man.

i think they probably were both abusive to the other. But in terms of the power dynamic it is bizarre to me that people don’t think that he had the most power in the relationship.

im also genuinely shocked at how little importance is attached to the uk court finding that he was physically abusive to her on several occasions.

someone above thought that the judge was corrupt. It is vanishingly unlikely that a judge could make a clearly incorrect finding on this.

The only evidence of domestic violence is her attacking. The only evidence of lying is on her side..what smear campaign? I'm also a domestic abuse survivor but I don't believe her. Plus this is all public because of her. She took this to the press.

@Josette77 a uk judge found that there were I think 12 incidents that it was more likely depp assaulted heard?

she may also have abused him. But that does not mean that he was also abusive

Because she is a pathological liar who simultaneously abused her ex husband whilst creating a now proven false narrative about her being abused. Non of her evidence has been backed up or justified, her recorded abuse of him is horrendous and SA/DV victims across the globe saw through her narcissistic tendencies and vicious/vindictive behaviours to see her for who she is. AN ABUSER.

@WhatDoIDoNow3 a uk court found it more likely than not that drop physically assaulted herd on several occasions. How does that sit in your narrative?

I just wanted to say after seeing this I've scrolled through pages and pages of my instagram just to check, and not one post on Amber Heard or Jonny Depp...

as said my Instagram feed is full of it 🤷‍♀️

For me the audio recordings said it all. When she goaded him telling him no one would believe him was the point I lost any sympathy for her. She's not a victim of DV she's a victim of her own ambition and married him to further her career.

The family courts are full of women dragged there by their abusive exes as a means to continue the torture.

That may of may not be what's happening here but you criticising her for her demeanor is hugely problematic. There is no 'right' way to behaviour.

I have found the hate towards Amber Heard shocking. People saying they hope she never works again - that she is finished. On Facebook there is constant talk about him rising from the ashes, that Disney should apologise .......

Witnesses have called Johnny Depp jealous, paranoid and controlling. Ellen Barkin claimed he threw a wine bottle at her. He has been arrested for punching security guard, threatening a photographers with a plank of wood and trashing a hotel room when angry. There is also an outstanding case regarding him punching a location manager on a film set. The awful texts about Vanessa Paradis to Elton John and the vile things he wrote about Amber to Paul Bethany. 'Let's drown her before we burn her!!! will fuck her burnt corpse afterward to make sure she's dead.

Johnny Depp is no Saint - I am not saying that Amber is - she too has been arrested for assault. They clearly had a toxic relationship. Two people who should never have cross paths but the hate is so one sided.

On another note Dennis Waterman died a few weeks ago and how quickly his abuse was forgotten.

Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby didn’t get nearly as much hate as she got. I’m definitely not saying that Amber is innocent but there’s more to this then people being outraged about domestic abuse. In my idea this is all about discrediting the me too movement, setting standards on how the perfect female victim should be and propagation of the idea that women are as much capable of being an oppressor to men as men are to women. I think of a lot of people who have an interest in promoting these ideas and combined with die hard Johnny fans who can’t separate the art from the man, it has turned into a perfect shitstorm.

Amber rode the wave of the ‘me too’ movement and initially received an outpouring of support. People were outraged at JK Rowling for refusing to fire him from a fantastic Beasts. I always remember she supported him despite that backlash because she said she had seen evidence that vindicated him. It was only when the audio recordings of the Depp/Heard conversations were released that people started to think there was something wrong with Amber’s story. This is no right wing movement to bring down the ‘me too’ movement. A lot of people have been following this case for years. The videos on YouTube and tik tok have amassed millions of views even before any trial took place.

The ‘me too’ movement took down monsters like Weinstein and Cosby but it is only powerful when rooted in the truth. It’s clear they are both toxic but there are literal recordings of him saying he doesn’t want any physical violence and she says she can’t promise not to get physical. I’m not sure if Depp will win the trial but there is clear evidence now that the narrative she put out was false.

But the left haven't been nearly as clever/ruthless with the use of bots. I sure they will at some point but the right have nailed it. First noticed it on the Brexit campaign which they now have openly admitted they did this for.

I was quite willing to believe that he was what she said he was prior to this trial. Having listened to the testimony so far he is absolutely not innocent. He is an addict, his behaviour was often appalling. However I don’t believe he beat her, I now believe she was the violent party in this. She seems to have so little credible evidence and there are plenty of credible witnesses who are saying there were no bruises when and where she claimed to have been horrifically injured.
