Johnny Depp...was the media wrong?

[ChrisFL]

I've seen a lot of posts on twitter about this and found this article that talks about recordings that seem to show Amber Heard perpetrated some of the violence.

I'm not saying Johnny Depp is innocent in this, or that he's a saint in other ways, but it seems there's a lot more to the story than was told before.

If I have to believe her or him, I’m going with him.

I couldn’t care less about either one of these people.

More of a story coming out after the media ran with only part of it seems to happen a lot lately.

 

[luvsJack]

They have been coming out with proof of this for awhile. Witnesses, pictures, etc.

Sounds like they had a history/habit of assaulting one another.
Not the healthiest relationship. Lol.

Her Lawyer. Who are you going to believe me or your lying ears?

Fortunately, we can all believe our lying ears.

(Editted: I may have originally gotten it backwards. I do remember ONE of them admitting there was violence by both parties.)

I *think* I remember Johnny saying and admitting in a public statement, after Amber posted pics of bruising she had, that there was violence by BOTH of them and that their relationship was tumultuous. Hence, the divorce. So, he's said this before.

I believe I read somewhere that she was arrested for domestic abuse against a previous girlfriend. I am not surprised. I believe it was a mutually abusive relationship, but the media just ran with his part of it. I'm glad they are divorced. I hope they both get the help they need.

it turns out her bruises where inflicted in June 2016 when Johnny Depp was out of the country for two weeks. considering her friend Amanda De Cadet and her entire legal team have quit it does not look good for her. She should be sacked from the Aquaman movies like Johnny Depp was for this false accusation

Can you really trust a pirate though?

I think they’re probably both A holes.

Depp really missed the boat when he let Charlotte Gainsbourg get away.... She is more stable than anyone else he has been with. The song lyrics match this video and Depp specifically amazingly well.

Okay, let me see if I can find an explanation of the difference between "actor" and "character"...

There's way too much conviction by popular media these days. What happened to 'innocent until proven guilty'?

 

[Planogirl]

I don't believe anything Amber Heard says. There have been plenty of articles with proof that she was the abusive one.

I will always love his acting skills.

Full, honest opinion:

Johnny Depp was always a troubled person. Everyone seems to have forgotten his infamous drunken tirades in the 90s. He and Kate Moss tore up hotel rooms (he was even arrested over it once.) He has admitted to self-mutilation. He has battled drug addiction and alcoholism. Many people, including his FRIENDS, have stated that he has a very, very bad temper. So do I believe that he was abusing her? Yes, I do.

Does that excuse Heard? Absolutely not. Do I think she was abusing him? Yep, I sure do.

I don't think this game of trying to make one or the other culpable is appropriate or necessary. Neither is more responsible than the other. They're both unstable, violent people who were abusing each other.

He really seemed to study role. I was working while back at publisher and h ecalled the editor to ry to get copy of book character he was playing had written, it was years out of print.

The media is about 95% wrong as we have all learned in this time of pandemic and racial inequities.
Tough to know where to get accurate and not tabloid news.
