#depp vs heard

[wh0re-cha-ta]

Pretty depressing that we live in a world where far more people are willing to believe that a 24 year old woman got married to a man 25 years her senior, all so, over the course of 7 years. she could meticulously gather fake evidence of abuse (including diary entries, corroborating texts and photos), convince a bunch of witnesses to lie under oath and goad her then husband into admitting to headbutting her on tape in an elaborate Gone Girl scenario to… *checks notes* write one line in an op ed, than it is for people to believe a rich powerful man with a documented history of substance abuse and violent outbursts hit his wife.

a man sues a woman for saying she was abused. she doesn't name him in the op-ed he sues her for. he claims that she abused him. he files the case in a state where it will be televised, even though neither of them live there. youtubers get rich off of explaining how the woman's breakdowns in court means she's crazy. experts explain how the justice system is stacked against DV victims and how that's reflected in the case. laywer youtubers explain how the woman is an abuser, based on what they've learnt from the justice system they are part and parcel of.

domestic violence advocates and experts say that the man shows the hallmarks of an abuser and the woman an abuse victim. people cry out about how society believes women can never be abusers. some people say they were abuse victims and support the man. they say that experiencing abuse qualifies them to identify the abuser, despite having no further experience beyond victimhood. some people say they were abuse victims and support the woman, but they don't count.

domestic violence advocates and experts speak up in an open letter. but the man is famous. he's rich. he's calm. the woman does not act with extreme rationality, which is what we should expect of people reliving extreme trauma. the photos are fake. of course, we shouldn't blame abuse victims for staying in their relationships. but it's weird she tried to go back to him after they broke up. how could she accuse him of abuse after doing that? society is biased against men. the courts are stacked against men.

My biggest flex is that I never ever fell for or partipicipated in misogynystic hate campaigns. Not with Taylor Swift, not with Billie Eilish, not with Megan Thee Stallion, not with Ariana Grande, not with Amber Heard, not with Millie Bobby Brown, not with Meghan Markle, not with Hannah Kae Kim, not with Brie Larson, not with the Kardashian family, not with Daisy Ridley, not with Mia Khalifa, not with Doja Cat, not with JKR, not with Amanda Bynes, not with Azealia Banks, not with Selena Gomez and not with Hailey Bieber. Did I forget someone? Women are never held to the same standards as men. Chris Brown, Johnny Depp, Charlie Sheen, Woody Allen, Kanye West, Mel Gibson, ETC, they never even got half the portion of hate that the women did for *checks notes* dating many people…uhh, believing in biology, uhhh… not smiling enough in the movies… uhhh…being visibly mentally ill… yall get the point.

amber heard weight before vs during/after her relationship with johnny depp

Depp would often call her “fat” during arguments, leading to her losing a significant amount of weight which her friends and family noticed at the time. She is said to have weighed around 100 pounds in the bottom pictures.

The weight loss resulted in her developing a heart condition and she would express fear that she would have a heart attack. In one audio Amber asks Johnny to feel her heart for palpitations, in which he responds “deal with your own fuxking heart”.

In fact, if you spend enough time inhaling the sulfurous fumes of the Depp-Heard live stream, what it starts to resemble most is a high-budget, general-admission form of revenge porn, an act in which the person with the upper hand in a relationship forces the other to be complicit in the sharing and dissemination of raw, vulnerable, literally sensational moments for the delectation of an unseen audience. One of the hallmarks of revenge porn is the way it freezes its victim in time, a plight that Heard summoned at the end of her direct examination. “I want to move on with my life,” she said. “I want to move on, I want to move on, I want Johnny to move on, too. I want him to leave me alone.” But the consequences of his legal action against her will never leave her alone. This is who she is now—the victim of an unprecedented Internet pile-on, a bruised face on an iPhone, a woman who makes people laugh when she cries.

exactly oh my god.

i try to keep this blog free of shit and lighthearted these days because i just cant live with how goddamn dark the news cycle is but ill say this:

it didnt matter who won the suit today because all of you, the common people, turned this into a circus where the only losers were domestic violence survivors, not heard, not depp, but you

the slander from both sides against DV survivors of any and all genders was astounding and i dont know how any person, regardless of gender, could ever trust you again

you meme-ifyed and fandomized a trial, which is fucking gross

it made the trial about owning the “other side” rather than actually supporting the survivors in your life

i live with two DV survivors, one guy and one girl and im so fucking terrified at how this is going to affect them in their daily lives, who’a going to believe them, what happens in their upcoming court cases etc.

seriously the attitude that all of you have shown is abhorrent and i wish you could be ashamed of yourselves

also if you’re a TERF and see this post i hope you get a cactus shoved down your throat and choke to death on the spines this post doesn’t support you at all

anyway, support your DV survivor friends today & every day— theyve been through a lot and need it

It feels like we’re collectively being fucking gaslit when I look at THE LITERAL FUCKING PHOTOGRAPHIC, TEXT, AUDIO, AND VIDEO EVIDENCE that Amber was being abused since at least 2012 & people look straight at it and say “Okay but where’s the evidence at though? You’re just taking her word.” WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!? YOU JUST LOOKED AT TESTIMONIES FROM BOTH OF THEM ON A SPECIFIC INCIDENT. AMBER’S IS CORROBORATED AND JOHNNY’S IS CONTRADICTED BY MULTIPLE TEXTS FROM JOHNNY, A VIDEO, AND A LATER AUDIO ADMISSION! What the fuck is going on?!

“Ugh can’t stand it seeing ah smirking yet people think she is the victim”

???? Johnny has been laughing and joking throughout this entire trial.

Timing is everything, Anon.

Johnny laughed when his lawyers leaned over to whisper to him, he laughed when AH's lawyers were being unprofessional, he laughed when making a self-deprecating joke on the stand.

Amber Heard laughed and smirked while Johnny was describing having his finger sliced off in Australia. There's a big difference.

Tumblr’s toxic feminism once again ruins a happy moment for me.

Johnny Depp won and rightfully so.

He wasn’t an abuser, Amber was.

That lying, conniving, manipulative bitch did everything she could to ruin this poor man - including but not limited to lying under oath and faking “evidence” - and he still came out on top.

As an abuse survivor myself, I couldn’t be happier and all of you fuckers who are still defending Amber - probably without even having watched the trial and her shitting acting - can suck my dick. You’re an embarrassment to yourself, the metoo movement and feminism in general.

What comes to mind when you think of Amber Heard? Liar? Survivor? Narcissist? Millions of us watched the celebrity trial of the century, Depp v Heard, in 2022. Amber Heard lost and Johnny Depp was vindicated. But what if Amber was actually the victim of an organised trolling campaign? What if the online hate against her was manufactured? Alexi Mostrous, the reporter who brought you Sweet Bobby and Hoaxed, investigates what happened to Amber and who might have been responsible. It’s a story about how our own thoughts and opinions can be moulded without us even realising.

(Open letter linked below)

“More than 130 people, including Gloria Steinem, and organizations in the field of women’s rights advocacy and domestic violence and sexual assault awareness have signed an open letter to support Amber Heard, who lost a defamation suit this year brought by her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, for an op-ed in which she said she was a “public figure representing domestic abuse.”

The letter, which was exclusively shared with NBC News ahead of its public release Wednesday, was signed by groups like the National Organization for Women, the National Women’s Law Center, Equality Now and the Women’s March Foundation. It was written by a group of people who identify as domestic violence survivors and supporters of Heard.

Heard filed a brief last month laying the groundwork to appeal a seven-person jury’s decision in Virginia’s Fairfax County Circuit Court to award Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages in June. Heard, who had countersued, was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages but nothing in punitive damages.

Although The Washington Post essay never mentioned Depp by name, Depp’s attorneys said it indirectly referred to allegations Heard made against him during their 2016 divorce. During the trial, she testified in graphic terms about a sexual assault she alleged, as well as allegations of incidents of physical abuse. Depp denied all allegations of abuse.

The letter, which denounces the “rising misuse” of defamation lawsuits to silence people who report domestic and sexual abuse, is one of the biggest public shows of support for Heard after months of silence from many groups after the verdict.

Representatives for both Depp and Heard declined to comment.

The jury’s decision was a legal vindication for Depp, who lost a libel case in the United Kingdom two years ago over claims that he had physically abused Heard. Justice Andrew Nicol ruled against Depp in 2020, saying a British tabloid had presented substantial evidence to show that Depp was violent against Heard on at least 12 of 14 occasions.

After the June verdict, activists called out other groups, like Time’s Up, asking why an organization that had championed victims at the height of the #MeToo movement was now silent. Many who did speak out in support of Heard, including the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, were met with ferocious backlash from Depp’s supporters online.

A spokesperson for the group behind the letter, who asked to remain anonymous because of the online harassment she has faced for posting in support of Heard, said she believes that after the trial “individuals were afraid to speak out because they saw what was happening to the few who had.”

The letter says the “ongoing online harassment” of Heard and her supporters was “fueled by disinformation, misogyny, biphobia, and a monetized social media environment where a woman’s allegations of domestic violence and sexual assault were mocked for entertainment.”

The vilification and harassment of Heard and her supporters were “unprecedented in both vitriol and scale,” the letter says.

Kathy Spillar, the executive director of the Feminist Majority Foundation, said her organization signed the letter after it observed what she called a “growing backlash” against women who speak out against perpetrators of sexual assault, domestic violence and intimate partner violence.

“If this can happen to Amber Heard, it will discourage other women from speaking up and even filing reports about domestic violence and sexual assault,” Spillar said.

The letter says the verdict and the online response to Heard “indicate a fundamental misunderstanding of intimate partner and sexual violence and how survivors respond to it.”

In addition to two dozen feminist organizations, more than 90 domestic violence experts and survivors’ advocates from around the world signed the letter to “condemn the public shaming of Amber Heard and join in support of her.” They include doctors, lawyers, professors, authors and activists.

Others who signed the letter echoed their concerns that reaction to the trial on social media was harmful to everyday victims of domestic violence.

“They see the environment that this has created, and they feel even less safe than before to come forward and speak out about the abuse they suffered,” said Elizabeth Tang, the senior counsel for education and workplace justice at the National Women’s Law Center.

Tang said abusers can use defamation suits to “silence their victims” or as retaliation against their victims for speaking out.

Tang said that among the “reasons we felt it was very important to join this letter” are that “when courts do not dismiss these defamation suits in early stages, it creates a lot of trauma for victims to have to go through a very long, drawn-out and invasive process just to prove that the things they said are true or that they did not defame the person they reported.”

Christian F. Nunes, the national president of the National Organization for Women, said she hopes the letter is a reminder that the court system should never be used to strong-arm victims to recant statements about their abuse.

“We cannot silence victims by using courts and lawsuits as a way to retraumatize them, because this is what’s happening,” Nunes said. She said she hopes the letter raises awareness of new tactics some abusers use against their victims, such as social media campaigns.

Since the trial, there has been more public support for Heard on social media, the spokesperson for the group behind the letter said. She and other anonymous Heard supporters had been “working to combat disinformation for months” when they joined for the open letter initiative.

Experts said they had a unanimous message they hoped to send to survivors who read the letter.

“It is also a way to speak to all survivors and tell them, ‘You are not alone,’” Tang said.”

I realize I may lose some mutuals over this, but it needs to be said. The criticism of the Depp v Heard trial is just as biased and oversimplified as the clickbait tiktoks and youtube videos.

If all you saw of the trial were those videos that made light of a serious situation, then I understand your misconception, however there was and is legitimate coverage by actual trial attorneys who provided unbiased commentary, as well as education.

Heard lost the trial because her evidence was not good. Her testimony kept changing. Her witnesses were refuted by actual, empirical evidence. The forensic psychologists on her team did not meet with Depp, while Depp's psychologists met with her. This is on top of a myriad of other points in Depp's favor and/or Heard's lack of credibility, as well as her history of DV and Depp's refuted ones by former partners.

He's not a saint, but he was abused; Heard is on record (as testimony and in a recording between herself and Depp) as acknowledging she struck him, then to tell him that he will not be believed

I was under the same biases at the beginning, too, but a lot of those biases came from the internalized misogynistic* perspective that men cannot be victims of women. Women can be abusers, too; we have to think that more than we just say it and think we mean it.

If you'd like some recommendations on YouTube, see NatalieLawyerChick, EmilyDBaker, and AttorneyTom. These are practicing attorneys and/or legal professionals (Emily was a criminal district attorney, but stepped away and is now a legal consultant/commentator).

Believe who you want, but consider your reasons for doing so. Or don't.

*yes, misogynistic, I did not mistype. The assumption that women are too weak or too pure to be violent is rooted in sexism, and the assumption that a man cannot be abused by a woman comes also from the perspective that to be abused is to be female, to be female is to be weak, to be weak is subhuman, and men are the only ones with "True Humanity."
