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

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.

Sorry, @Friars23 my fault. I can see it but I missed it. I took my dates from Edward White in the trial. That man was not a man to be doubted or trifled with. Mind you, for nearly $1,000 an hour, I'd expect him to be bloody perfect too. The winners in Hollywood aren't the stars, they're the money managers!

@LetitiaLeghorn
I remember when I was a child I was in awe of film stars and their lives and money.

My good, what an eye opener. A shit show of a life, isn't it.

I rather poo in my hands and clap than live like this lot do 😂

When you see how they live, Rabbit! Their houses look so dated and manky. And everyone's taking advantage of them. It feels like he's had to buy all his friends. Their whole life just seems so sad.

Here we go. One of the big YouTube Depp supporters has now transferred his attentions to the Marilyn Manson case. Naturally, he doesn't believe Evan Rachel Wood.
But of course this whole thing has been just great for abuse victims.

Even by the picture that you posted that is dated 4 months ago.
So he hasn't transferred his attention to the MM case.

Powerful men are using defamation lawsuits to shut down allegations against them, and anti-choice groups are trying to pass laws criminalizing speech about abortion

That's so depressing.
Have you read Vox by Christina Dalcher? It doesn't feel very far off tbh

Aspiringmatriarch · 08/07/2022 12:03

Interesting article, thanks.

Just read this thread on Twitter, there were quite a few things I didn't know about JD and they're 😱😱😱

He is horrible

Rabbitholedigger · 08/07/2022 17:17

That's a paid AH bot. I'm wondering whether some are on here too now. This Kamilla Who may well be in hot water for harassment and targeting. Honestly, heard is a liar, Australia want to extradite her for perjury. Shes been arrested for DV before she met depp. She's arrogant and a user.

I wish people would accept she's a disease to womens rights, not Depp, her! The more people double down to defend her the more damage you do to real survivors

Aspiringmatriarch · 08/07/2022 17:39

The thread is nothing to do with Amber. Honestly what a childish response.

Rabbitholedigger · 08/07/2022 17:45

This thread has nothing to do with Amber?

Ok

Rabbitholedigger · 08/07/2022 17:45

Sorry misreads. That thread absolutely is to do with Heard. Look into the other crap they post.

Rabbitholedigger · 08/07/2022 18:02

I also find it incredibly coincidental that the thread has been reawoken with the usual Heard supporters posting links as the thread nears 1000 and in the UK there's other things to discuss.

FrippEnos · 08/07/2022 18:45

Interesting how we have gone from 'how dare JD post stuff on sm about AH, he is horrible its a campaign against her'
to
'look at all this stuff I found out about JD on sm, isn't he horrible'

Seems that once again some posters have double standards.

AdamRyan · 08/07/2022 18:51

Eh? You calling us bots now? Honestly....

There is nothing in that twitter thread that isn't true. If Depp doesn't want stuff like that on SM he should not be a nasty piece of work. And none of it is about AH so whether or nor she is a narc is irrelevant

Rabbitholedigger · 08/07/2022 18:58

@AdamRyan you seem to continually defend heard despite her behaviour since the trial and despite she's up for perjury in Australia. I hope it's the UK next. Survivors don't need a liar or their supporters ruining what we achieved so far.

Rabbitholedigger · 08/07/2022 19:00

"whether or nor she is a narc is irrelevant"

THERE IT IS. All of us that have survived a narc or still living with one. There it is.

Rabbitholedigger · 08/07/2022 19:03

It's irrelevant she's a narc. Narcs are liars and gaslighters.

You've completely exposed your real thinking. You've continually gone against everything I've said, as a survivor or a narc, on this thread. And now I know why.

LOL talk about taking something out of context!

Mad as a box of frogs, honestly. Though I'm probably not allowed to say that.

Rabbitholedigger · 08/07/2022 19:11

@Aspiringmatriarch you'd like it be out of context but you and your mates are still cherry picking and not answering the posts.

Perjury. Previous arrest for DV?

OK, I'll quote the post you took it from which was very clear:
