#depp v. heard
Text
Can we please acknowledge that it's common for domestic violence victims to not have photographic evidence documenting their abuse?
It's often dangerous for victims of domestic violence to take pictures documenting these things. If their abuser goes through their phone—as many abusers do—they could easily find those pictures and punish them for it. It is so common for abusers to exert control over their victim's use of technology.
The standards you are setting for victims to speak out against their abusers are almost impossible for most victims to meet.

Not a troll, genuine question: I thought Johnny Depp was good? Like all his wife's allegations against him were fake? Did he do other things?
no, no, he definitely is not... her allegations against him were that he's lying when he says she "defamed" him by writing an article in Washington Post about having been a victim of domestic & sexual assault. but she didn't even use his name ONCE in the article, plus she didn't say anything untrue and this is corroborated by an UK court who found Depp guilty of 12 out of 14 counts of abuse against Amber in 2020 when he sued The Sun for calling him a wifebeater. basically it was proven that he is one. some instances of this:
- in 2014 Amber was shooting a movie with James Franco, Depp got jealous, taunted and kicked her; proven by texts from his assistant to Amber he sent afterwards talking about how sorry Depp is for doing this to her
- in March 2015 they both were in Austrialia where Amber allegedly threw a bottle at Depp and the bottle sliced his finger off; but he also texted his doctor about slicing his own finger off later ("I cut the top of my middle finger off") + he admitted this in an audio
- in December 2015 he dragged her by her hair, slapped, head butted, punched; proven by the pictures of injuries she took + their marriage consuelor saw the pictures and the injuries in person (he admits to headbutting her in one audio)
- in 2016 he trashed their condo and again assaulted her, and there are pictures of the trashed condo, Isaac Baruch for one saw the condo and testified about it (even thought he was one of the pro-Depp witnesses)
- their neighbour (Raquel Pennington) testifies that she saw Amber cowering in fear before Depp during one of their fights and she covered Amber with her own body to protect her. when he attacked Amber, she was on the phone with her friend, causing the friend to call 911. Amber texted a nurse about that and a medical report confirms the injury. that's when she decided to file for the divorce.
there's more, but these are the ones there is evidence for. but based on what we know about Johnny as a person I believe Amber about all the counts of abuse she cited (including the rape allegation). he's a raging misogynist (for example he texted Paul Bettany that he wants to drown Amber, burn her corpse and then rape it, tried to submit Amber's nudes and proof of her working as a stripped for some reason, threw a bottle at his ex, Ellen Barkin), an addict, an alcoholic, he's pathologically jealous (confirmed by almost all his ex girlfriends/wives), prone to turning violent and throwing things or assaulting others.
he also lied about Amber abusing him, as in he tried to paint her as the perpetrator all while this is what you can find in the unsealed documents: "Depp’s team shielded him from undergoing a psychiatric evaluation on grounds that he “does not allege a specific cause of action for intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress; does not assert that Ms. Heard’s actions caused him a specific psychiatric injury; and does not claim that Ms. Heard’s actions caused him to experience unusually severe emotional distress.”". then he sat in the courtroom acting like he's traumatized by all the abuse he suffered from her, a not well known actress half his age back when they were dating. he was also so traumatized and scared of her that he started walking up to her as she was leaving the courtroom, causing her to take a step back out of fear and then he just turned around while laughing at her. demonic behavior!
for more I really recommend this timeline of their relationship and @justiceamberheard 's masterpost of the court proceedings summary (with links, so you can verify and see for yourself)!!

Really incredible reporting on the (anti-)fandom element of Depp v. Heard by Kaitlyn Tiffany. I spoke to her a little bit when she was researching the piece and some of my quotes about the similarities to what happened in Loki fandom are also included!

i think you missed this part of the virginia trial, its audio of heard gaslighting depp and trying to keep him from going to see his daughter. and watch the reactions, she literally dont give a shit about what she did to him. i challenge you to watch and read this conversation because she is manipulating tf out of him. jadoredepptumblrcom/post/682552417212121088/audio-transcript-jd-im-really-really-really
Yes, of course.
I'm sure that tumblr blog isn't biased at all, judging by its name.
I'll say this again, even though I know none of you are paying attention, nor do you really care, but not only am I not a lawyer, or a legal expert of any kind, but this isn't a trial to determine whether either of them are guilty of abuse. This is a defamation trial. This lawsuit was filed by Depp saying he was suffering from a lack of work due to an op-ed that Amber wrote back in 2018.
I know you don't care about this because you (and those like you in my inbox) have already decided that she's guilty, and there's no recovering from that in the court of public opinion.
No one is facing any jail time for this trial.
I stand with Amber in this lawsuit because Depp has repeatedly demonstrated that he's not suffering financially or professionally.
Get a life, and good day.

the depp. heard trial, by the way, is not about whether AH is guilty or innocent of committing specific acts of domestic violence. it is not about whether depp is guilty or innocent of committing specific acts of domestic violence.
it is about whether or not a person is allowed to write publicly about their experience. if you think people shouldn't be allowed to write publicly about their experiences of domestic violence unless their abusers were criminally convicted, you are absolutely going to silence many many many many many victims.

Lmao we all know it's possible to be hurt without visible injury. AMBER is the one that viscerally described her horrible horrible injuries in court! SHE claimed to have visible injuries! She claimed to have swollen eyes, bruises, split lips... and she clearly didnt.
No one is saying she couldn't have gotten off without visible injury. SHE said she had injuries while blatantly not having any! SHE is the one telling the world to look for the injuries she clearly didn't have! Why wouldnt we call her a liar? Do you not understand the situation here? We aren't calling her a liar because she didnt 'show signs of abuse', we are calling her a liar because she LIED ABOUT BEING ABUSED with wildly exaggerated, unprovable nonsense in court!
Unlike Johnny, she didn't have any records of evidence of these injuries SHE mentioned herself, which is why the court saw the situation as what it is-- she fucking lied.
I hope you see sense one day.
Then why is it that iO Tillett Wright describes seeing Amber with a busted lip and clumps of hair ripped out of her head, leaving her bloody? Why is it that there is a written record of Depp kicking Amber in the back while on a plane? Why is it that a makeup artist confirmed she had to cover up Amber's injuries, including bruising to her eyes and an injury to her lip, for a TV appearance? Why is it that she was seen in public with cuts on the outside of her arms shortly after she describes Depp dragging her across broken glass? Why is it that these injuries were corroborated by both her sister, Whitney, as well as Rocky Pennington? Why is it that Depp sent a text about Amber saying he would "smack the ugly cunt around" in 2013? Why is it that he told Paul Bettany he wanted to drown Amber, set her corpse on fire, and then rape her dead body to make sure she was dead?
Why is it that a UK judge found that 12 out of 14 incidents of domestic violence and property damage by Depp had been proven to the civil standard and two higher court judges denied Depp's appeals?
You tell me.

"Tell the world, Johnny, tell them, 'Johnny Depp, I, a man, I'm a victim too of domestic violence' and see how many people believe or side with you."

you people are actually sick in the head *edit: actually have worms for brains if you don’t see that this entire trial was a form of revenge and a pr move on depp’s part to globally humiliate his ex-wife with bogus allegations and by forcing her to testify in a televised trial (which depp requested) about her sexual assault.
the man has harassed this woman through the courts for 4 years, and caused her financial difficulties by causing her to spend up to 6 million in legal fees, as well as smearing her reputation so she can hardly ever work again.
that he is demanding money that he knows his ex-wife doesn’t have, is, in fact further financial abuse from a man who would get angry at her for working and who often made her swear to not take movies or meetings while they were together.
*edited b/c it was not my intention to make anyone uncomfortable with the phrasing or imply an actual mental disorder. apologies y’all 💖

THE MARY SUE Blog and Depp v. Heard
I had just stumbled across this OPINION PIECE from THE MARY SUE Blog that claims Johnny Depp has no case against ex-wife Amber Heard in his defamation lawsuit against her. In fact, THE MARY SUE Blog has maintained since the couple’s breakup years ago that Depp was a spouse abuser and Heard, his victrim.

Aja Romano at Vox:
Around the third or fourth time I logged into Twitter to find “#AmberHeardIsAPsychopath” at the top of the trending list, I realized that there was no longer any pretending that the Depp-Heard defamation trial was not a terrible, foreboding reflection of our culture’s worst impulses.
The media has covered the degree to which this trial has served as a referendum on the Me Too movement and a siren call to domestic abusers.
The narrative of the trial has been shaped in part by what appears to be, according to multiple researchers, an army of bots spreading rhetoric favorable to Depp. One researcher found more bots favorable to Heard, but said most of those bots were from third-party apps trying to capitalize on the trial; meanwhile, they found the highest pro-Depp bot post was shared nearly 20,000 times. The work of those bots has been further amplified by “men’s rights activists” — the part of the far-right-leaning extremist “manosphere” that seems to have decided discrediting Amber Heard is the key to destroying every woman who accuses men of abuse or domestic violence.
Conservative media outlets have also promoted a one-sided narrative of the case; Vice recently reported that Ben Shapiro’s popular conservative news platform the Daily Wire has spent nearly $50,000 promoting ads about the trial on Instagram and Facebook — most of it trashing Amber Heard. The presence of these bad actors has, if anything, only exacerbated the vitriol Heard has received within the mainstream.
Trial memes — almost universally weighted against Heard — have taken over every corner of the internet, from TikTok to Twitch to Etsy. Even Saturday Night Live has lampooned what have been portrayed as the many excesses and absurdities of the trial testimony, and social media users have similarly found the trial ripe for parody. On TikTok, for example, totally unrelated accounts seem to have given themselves over to full-time Depp-Heard trial mockery, to the point where the actual substance of the testimony seems completely irrelevant beside the need to mine the proceedings for entertainment. Sure, Amber Heard cried while on the stand, but did you see how ridiculous she looked while doing it?
To put it mildly, this surreal explosion of internet culture vilification of Heard feels dispiriting and troubling. What made so many millions of people feel so justified in treating such a personal, toxic relationship like popcorn fodder? At what point before the bot armies and men’s rights activists poisoned the well of discourse around this trial could a reasonable assessment of the evidence and the facts have been made? Did that point ever exist?
Most of the reporting on these memes has placed the blame for their sensationalist tone squarely on the evolution of fandom content creation. But recall that the white supremacist alt-right movement has a long history of memeifying everything they want to normalize and legitimize, and keep in the forefront of your mind that the alt-right latched onto this case as its bulwark long before fandom and the internet at large did. By now, after years of political disinformation campaigns, we’re used to social media’s natural ability to contort reality. Rarely, however, has it bent this far, this rapidly, for this many people, in service of something this vile.
Again and again over the course of this trial, basic human empathy seems to have completely flown out the window. More than that, nuance feels impossible, and there doesn’t seem to be room for even the reality of the situation. The contours of the abuse were well-established before the 2018 opinion column Depp is suing over was published. The basic facts of the case have gotten their day in court once already, having been heard in a British court in 2020, with the judge finding in Heard’s favor. But the basic, well-established facts do not seem to matter.
They do not seem to matter to people who would normally care about facts, truth, and nuance. They do not seem to matter to the tabloid media gleefully reporting on every aspect of this case. They do not seem to matter to the TikTok creators who seize every chance to parody a tearful Heard, turning her objectively harrowing trial testimony into a farce of over-the-top fake weeping.
The facts do not seem to matter to any of the people who have gleefully latched on to the image of Heard as a manipulative villain, as if she split her own lip, punched her own face, and pulled out clumps of her own hair.
What we’re witnessing here are the dramatically compounded effects of internet researcher Alice Marwick’s theory of morally motivated networked harassment, which holds that a group of social media users can justify any amount of abuse directed at a target if they feel their cause is morally right. At scale, this looks like, and effectively is, millions of people around the world lining up to eagerly subject one woman to untold amounts of abuse, public humiliation, and violent rhetoric. (Incidentally, this is exactly what Depp wanted to happen to her — so even if he loses the case, he still wins.)
To be clear, this isn’t an easy story of good and evil. It’s impossible to completely absolve Amber Heard, who has her own alleged history of violence, or frame Depp as a monster incapable of kindness, charity, and the positive energy that amassed him millions of fans to begin with. Yet you don’t need to do either of those things to acknowledge that this is a case about the deeply unfunny topic of intimate partner abuse and that the major points of this trial have already been decided in one court of law. The judge at the first trial in 2020 found Heard had proven 12 of 14 allegations of abuse. So far none of the trial testimony has substantially contradicted anything in Heard’s original claim of being a domestic violence survivor.
[...]
Some of the arguments made against Amber Heard sound like QAnon-level conspiracy rabbit holes. (Amber Heard’s trial outfits, for example, have somehow become part of a sinister narrative in which Heard is a manipulative abuser attempting to rattle and intimidate Depp by mimicking his own trial suits.) This trial has accomplished what our enraged, paranoid ideological fringe could not: a complete dismantling of the ideological breakdown that has divided us politically, and the general public acceptance of a narrative created and controlled by bad actors and far-right extremists.
The Depp-Heard trial has refined the Gamergate playbook in a way that will haunt us for years to come. It has proven to extremists that if you rally around the right beloved public figure or institution, blanket them in a protective sphere of outrage and misinformation, and weaponize fandom culture — already so prone to ideological radicalization and irrational groupthink — you can successfully push whatever media narrative you want into the mainstream.
There’s no coming back from this. The actual trial verdict is all but irrelevant now. It’s not just that Amber Heard will forever be an imperfect accuser whose own volatile history was used to help destroy a revelatory movement in Me Too. It’s that there will be other Amber Heards, and many of them will be marginalized, with far fewer resources to withstand this onslaught of hate.
This Vox article on the Depp v. Heard defamation case is spot-on “This isn’t an easy story of good and evil” between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, who both have major flaws.
The current Depp v. Heard case that has taken over the news recently has taken an ugly turn of discourse featuring vile and misogynistic attacks on Heard, often without any substantive facts.
In the Depp v. News Group Newspapers case that was decided in the UK in 2020, Heard won that case.
