But have you followed the case thoroughly? I'm not saying it's required content, but I find many people with this "well, they're both bad" takes have missed out on just how bad Heard is.
It seems to be the take of people who aren't interested in the discussion, frankly.
She seems like a true narcissist. Not the type of person you just call that for being a bitch. No, she seems to be the real deal. Depp seems rather innocent, aside from being a bit of a drunk who hardly even retaliated by most accounts.
The people saying this have no fucking clue what they're talking about but I'm not expecting better from NeoGaf to be frank.....
I bet you if the situations were reversed, you wouldn't hear a peep about this "they were both abusive" nonsense. Heard literally hired a PI to find dirt on Johnny. The guy found NOTHING. If anything, people couldn't say better things about him. His generosity and kindness is well well documented, his visits to sick kids without it going public in many instances, his exes speaking of him in glowing terms, his behavior on film sets in his entire life, his professionalism, and him as a person.
Heard on the other side has been arrested for domestic abuse before (yup), also arrested for other things. You can find tons of stories of people who worked with her and remarked how unpleasant she is.
About the facts:
-She literally said during her deposition that she beat Johnny up. She even smirks when hearing herself saying it on a recording. And about those recordings, they're out there for people to listen to. She chastises Johnny for fleeing any time she starts a fight. She calls him a baby, she says that he was not "punched". She mocks him, tells him no one will believe him that he Johnny Depp is a victim of domestic abuse.
-She threw a bottle at him that shattered and sliced a chunk of his finger off.
-The cops that were called to their house?! They testified that there were no injuries or marks on her, one officer was a woman too, and specialized in domestic violence. They examined her up close, no traces. And there are several more witnesses who saw no marks on her during several occasions.
-The bodycam footage by the way of a second set of officers coming back to their house that same day show absolutely no damage in the house, nothing, contrary to what Amber's cronies (who lived rent free at Johnny's expense by the way) claimed. Oops.
-Her ex assistant shared her sexual abuse story with Heard who then stole that story and used it as her own.
-Heard literally went on TV and said she donated her divorce settlement of 7 million dollars both to the ACLU and to the Children's Hospital in LA. Guess what? She never did, the money was never given, we know that to be a fact.
-Several witnesses SAW her abusing Johnny, throwing shit at him.
And there's so much more, that's just the tip of the iceberg. She's out of her fucking mind.
You're right when you say people need to do their research but the clueless few who are still unaware of the truth are just lazy and would rather spout nonsense like "their personal lives doesn't matter to me".
This shit is why male domestic abuse victims aren't taken seriously often.
