Fashionably late to the Johnny Depp party

[qandatime]

Before anyone jumps on me I’m fully aware that Depp V Heard was years ago but I keep seeing reels about it and want to understand.
I watched zero of there trial so I maybe wrong here but my understanding is.. He abused her, found guilty in a Uk trial. She wrote about it and he then sued her through the American court system because of the jobs and money the story she told lost him.
It came out in the American trial that it was more of a case that they both abused each other.. so if I’m correct both guilty of domestic violence to each other.
If I’m correct why do a lot of people have forgiveness towards him but none towards her?
Was (again if I’ve got this right) the fact he’d been found guilty in the UK not a big part of the American Trial?
Like I said I know people are over this now but if anyone knows and is bored enough to enlighten me, please do.

Is he forgiven?

Pretty much, Whenever the conversation comes up in say the staffroom at work he seems very much forgiven.. Yet people seem to hate her.

I recommend listening to the podcast Who Trolled Amber Heard? There was a concerted, global effort to undermine her reputation as widely as possible. Not just in terms of the US trial but to make sure mud stuck long term. Jonny Depp's side mobilised a massive (largely bot-farmed) "fan" army to give the impression he is widely loved. She doesn't have the same resources.

Also... Misogyny. (The details of the messages between Depp and Paul Bettany - one of his friends - were horrific)
