To be concerned that the Depp/Heard trial has put off genuine DV victims from coming forward?

[PetraBP]

The Depp/Heard trial was troubling to me.

On the one hand, people do sometimes make false allegations, especially after relationship breakups.

On the other hand, dragging someone to court for alleging domestic violence might deter some women from reporting it.

Assuming the court got it right and Depp was not a perpetrator, how could he have handled the situation so that it would not put domestic violence victims off coming forward for fear of being sued?

Worrying all round.

No not the same evidence by any stretch. You are not credible

Brilliant post
You are 100% right

it keeps being said on here but ive never seen it

‘women are never abusive’

where does that even come from

That's all fine.
But not ONE word about AH's lying, bullying, taunting and punching? Sorry hiting not punching the "big baby"

Who said that?

And this is what's really happening. Women who are calling out AH are not being blamed. Men are crawling all over this as a gotcha. They're teaming up with women against liars and abusers. I've seen this time and time again.

Men are NOT* crawling all over this.

I have a sticky pad!

tao

its been on a number of these threads

i think men and women can be abusive…ive never heard anyone saying anything different.

😀

@RufustheFloralmissingreindeer

I think it's the women can be abusive too, but....

Yes AH was abusive, but....

And the cherry picking of posts to twist the narrative, I.e,

"What you posted isn't what you posted so I'm telling you what you posted and it's this"

@RufustheFloralmissingreindeer I do and I'm paranoid now and have to correct it 😂

tiddy

there is nothing worse than typing a post that you think is going to nail it…

and then finding you’ve made a typo which either changes the entire meaning or makes you look illiterate

i do it A LOT 😀

There honestly do seem to be posters of the opinion that only men can be abusive/bullies/narcissists/psychopaths.

When you ask them outright they back off. Yet every word they say speaks to a deep belief of men bad , women good.

Or a women behaving horribly is the fault of a man.

Someone very close to me in my family is in a similar situation. He is a very unassertive but kind person and a brilliant family man. Yet we know he is being verbally and physically abused by his wife who is a covert narcissist and probably has BPD/HPD.

One of my in laws is a consultant psychiatrist and we have both seen hours of video of her abusing him. We are trying to help him escape this situation.

Nobody is trying to cast JD as a hero.
But AH was exposed for what she is.
The similarities between AH and the woman in our family are astonishing. The histrionics, the micro-expressions, the lies, the gaslighting, the taunting, the externalisation of blame; the victim mentality, the shallow switches in emotion within a second and on and on .

The jury saw through her. The whole world saw through her.
The evidence provided in the UK trial was nothing like in this trial.
They were also much more prepared for her. It takes huge focus and attention to detail to try and derail a lying narcissist in full flow.

Many women are horribly abused by men.

AH tried to jump on their experiences and feign the same thing for her own vengeance and gain.

She is a very dangerous personality.

@RufustheFloralmissingreindeer haha I do it all the time.

I'm not the most literate, shoot from the hip and type as I think and find myself in situations 😂

She is @taotaos I too have experienced this myself and my DH with his ex. We are a pair of losers who found each other 😂but although opposite genders abused us it's absolutely textbook what they do. Sex of the abuser does not change it.

It was a response to a poster who reasoned why JD had so much support

AD has never and would never receive the adoration he is receiving at the moment

no woman would after acting like he has regardless of you think he has been abusive or not towards AH

"It takes huge focus and attention to detail to try and derail a lying narcissist in full flow"

And although Camille has been vilified online by some on how she treated AH on cross. Camille knew exactly what she was dealing with. She's not a "skirt" or a "pick me girl" which has come from some extreme feminist circles. That's a fucking insult.

"AD has never and would never receive the adoration he is receiving at the moment"

No and nor should she.

However his female lawyer is to the world and also been promoted to partner. Go woman!

Camille Vasquez was doing her job

I have no issue in her promotion or her being held in high regard in her profession even if I don’t like their legal tactics

I do for Johnny Depp. Like I said in a previous post he is not worthy of such adoration

Its been said over several threads that women cannot be abusive because they don't have the power.
Or because they are weaker and cannot do as much damage when hitting.

@HRTQueen don't confuse adoration for Depp with the justice felt for AH being exposed.

I am no depp fan per se. I do like some of his films, I also respect his generosity towards others and that he had, frankly, a toxic childhood which led to his addictions starting at age 12. He had enough empathy to forgive his mother and supported her through her life. Im not keen pirate films so probably his biggest has passed me by.

Now Matthew McConaughay.... different story.

No need to worry TiddyTidTwo I’m not confusing the two separate issues

Like I have pointed out a few times now he is not worthy of such adoration that he is receiving

Abusive behaviour isn’t just hitting, i thought that had been established by now

Now Matthew McConaughay.... different story

what did you think of his white house speech?

im off out in two minutes so not ignoring you if you reply

taotaos
I doubt she has wandering womb syndrome given it doesn't exist.
