A disclaimer that I am not a psychiatrist, so I will not be making any comment about this issues.
I’d also like to note that the diagnose is from a doctor who’s a highly trained professional.

Here’s the hilarious thing about pro-Amber people: this case isn’t about who abused who, because Amber never cared to press charges because that would have been disproven in court just like its being disproven now, what with Amber’s legal team insulting the intelligence and threatening the careers of the vast majority of witnesses who were around Amber during and after the alleged abuses. Abuse that her legal team is no longer trying to prove occurred and begged the judge to dismiss the trial because even if they can’t prove Johnny ever laid a hand on her any time she claimed he did, he did verbally abuse her, and isn’t that enough? So what if she may possiblyhave boardline personality disorder. She’s stressed out being a girlboss, so she’s not to be blamed for elaborately orchestrated allegations she makes.
This case is about defamation of character and if Amber’s interview damaged Johnny’s career. Proving he did abuse her is supplemental TO that, but the issue remains: was Johnny cancelled for it?
Amber’s lawyers are happy to say he was cancelled, but blame anything else but her interview, but using the headlines of articles – not the articles themselves, mind you – from undetermined times of publication to say that a man who has been in 3-4 movies a year almost every year since Edward Scissorhands in 1990 and has been an addict that ENTIRE time, has somehow, suddenly lost Hollywood’s patience with his addictions and it just so happened to coincidentally have aligned with Amber’s tell all.
So, the dilemma for pro-Amber people is that this is a LEGAL situation and not just an opinioned moralistic diatribe. Are YOU willing to look someone in the eye and use the actual LEGAL point of this whole trial: “It remains to be seen if Johnny Depp did or did not batter Amber Heard, however, it cannot be overstated that Amber exposing Johnny for the alleged abuser he is did NOT cause his sudden expulsion from major Hollywood productions, such as Fantastic Beasts and Pirates 6. Especially since Amber did not technically name Johnny as the abuser in her interview so it remains to be seen if Amber was even referring to Johnny or if public speculation has led to naming Johnny as the abuser, which, in that case, also makes it not Amber’s fault that Johnny lost his deals.”
I want to sit down every single person who supports amber heard or claims its “mutual abuse”, and force them to listen to the 6 hours or so of audio recordings on youtube that clearly show Heard harassing, insulting, mocking, talking over, and gaslighting Depp, essentially psychologically torturing him, as well as admitting to hitting Depp, throwing things at him, chasing him through the house, and severing his finger which almost killed him.
Female abusers (whether physical, sexual, or emotional) are just as disgusting as male abusers. They deserve absolutely no sympathy.
Male survivors, whether victimized by other men or women, aren’t rare. They are just as valid as female survivors. They deserve nothing but sympathy and support and they certainly don’t deserve misandry.
Amber Heard is just one of many female abusers. Johnny Depp is just one of many male victims. If you support Amber Heard and/or don’t support Johnny Depp, fuck you.
i’ve loosely followed the depp vs heard trial, and seeing how social media has reacted i was pro-depp like everyone else. then, i saw one (1) tweet talk about how the fact people are reacting to Heard talking about her abuse how damaging this will be for victims who are reading this backlash, reading the incredible horrfying things about Heard from strangers, from their friends, from their own family and what the consequences of that will be. What should abuse look like? Does abuse only look like one particular thing? Do victims overreact? Should they? Are they allowed to? What if they don’t remember one memory to the T, does that mean they’re lying? Does it mean I am lying when I don’t recall an event perfectly bc my brain blocked it out? It’s just very, very strange the sudden…shift in the perception of victims of abuse. As if everyone reacts the same. As if everyone suffers the same. As if everyone copes the same. It’s fucking weird.
Coming back to Depp vs Headd, do people not see how hard Depp’s legal team is working to fuel this perception? How are people not fact-checking all the bullshit social media is trying to push to paint this image of Depp as a innocent angel? He is not innocent lmao. He is not some sort of angel who has done no wrong. I have seen one (1) video of this trial-him in the kitchen-and let me tell you, my fight or flight mode kicked in. I was scared of him in that video. It reminded me of my own experience with a grown up man being physically intimidating on purpose to scare and psychologically abuse you and your family. Yet people reacted like Depp was being normal. That was not fucking normal. What the fuck?
And fuck, wanting to televise and actually televising the trial like it’s a fucking sit-com is so fucking damaging and not a “win” for male-victims. Look at how everyone is so fucking happy to have a pass to be a misogynistic asshole, how they’re so bloody happy to FINALLY not have to believe the woman and feel free to shred her apart raw. I did not see this kind of heat for Harvey Weinstein, for Roman Polanski, for literally any male abusers.
And I won’t even start on the weird fancams of Depp and reenactments of testimonies and such on tiktok. That’s fucking weird. Like, incredibly weird. This isn’t fiction, it’s a real life matter. Can we please just? Think a bit more critically? And stop with the weird fandom reactions to this trial?
Look, if you’re gonna spout shit and nonsense about how Johnny Depp is abusive and an asshole, or about how Amber Heard is a sweet innocent woman being attacked by “the Monster”, you can unfollow me or block me right now.
If you’re gonna ignore all of the evidence that points out that he was NOT the abuser BUT the abused, and if you’re going to ignore how Amber Heard has admitted ON AUDIO TAPE that she was hitting him and called him a “fucking baby” and a “coward” for running away from her, unfollow or block me right the fuck now.
If you’re willing to ignore everything that the witnesses are saying, all the proof he’s submitting, /just/ because he is a man and she is a woman, go fuck yourself right now, and unfollow or block me.
Male abuse survivors exist and they deserve better. They deserve to be heard, to be believed, to be loved, and they deserve respect.
Female abusers exist and they deserve jail time. In a truly equal world, their crime should be punished in EXACTLY the same way of male abusers.
You know what, it is a setback. Now real female victims who deserve to be heard when they say they’ve been assaulted or abused would have less platform to be believed in because of her bullshit. While I’m incredibly joyful for male victims being able to come forward and hold abusers of any gender accountable, Amber Heard created more damage to women’s rights than she ever helped it improve.
Amber Heard pledging to donate $7 million to charity:
I feel like out of all the lies and misinformation meant to smear Amber Heard, the 7 million dollar thing is probably the easiest to debunk.
Amber testified in court that the only thing that stopped her from following this payment plan was being sued by Johnny Depp to the tune of 50 million.
I have no idea how you could interpret that as nefarious in any way unless you’re determined to see everything Amber Heard says or does in the most uncharitable light possible, which is completely unhinged.
AH: “I haven’t been able to fulfill those pledges because I’d been sued.”
CV: “You had all of $7 million dollars for thirteen months before Mr. Depp sued you, and you chose not to pay it to the charities you pledged it to.”
AH: “I disagree with your characterization of that.”
