Johnny Depp sues ex-wife Amber Heard over article

Is this literally "pics or it didn't happen" being used as a legal defense?

 

I would assume that is irrelevant. She could have been totally unfaithful but it doesn't mean he had a right to abuse her or that he could have done it in such a way that no one knew (or those who did would confirm it). Unless they have some kind of unrefutable proof of her saying she will lie about his being abusive, I don't know how they can prove he didn't.

I haven't seen anyone else who will say Depp was ever abusive towards them or anyone else. Which goes back to people wanting to protect themselves and/or their own interests but it does lead some credence that he wasn't abusive.

At this point I am leaning towards her side but I'm not definitely believing her either. These kinds of messy celebrity feuds are never as straight forward as they seem.

 

Depp didn't look his best in 2015-2016, I don't know much about him but this pic (and other pics) around that time speak for themselves.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence he files a lawsuit against her years later and right after she just raked in some Aquaman cash.

 

I'm sure it's hurt his career and he wants to clear that up. If he is innocent of this heinous crime, suing her might be the only action to clear his name of domestic abuse. Of course, he could be out of his mind and lose as well.

Personally, it sounds like they mutually abused each other.

 

These two should just invest in a merry-go-round. As lovely as Amber Heard is to look at, it wouldn't suprise me in the slightest if her claims were false.

I don't know much about Depp, but despite his slightly crazy lifestyle, he's never (to my knowledge) been implicated in anything along these lines; didn't his ex wife even speak up saying he'd never been violent toward her? Then again, if he'd been taking excessive drink and drugs, he could have simply lost control and lashed out, with Amber being the recipient.

With that being said, and it's hard to speculate, but Amber just doesn't seem all innocent in this. Ever since the claims first came around, I've always suspected she was more interested in the public attention (or) her than the actual troubles. Maybe she sought a way to get a win over Depp for their failed marriage or something?

Who knows.

 

It is pretty much accepted that the death of his mother deeply impacted Depp. So, his ex-wife's experiences are not necessarily how he is now. Heard was able to get a restraining order against Depp. That is going to make things very, very difficult for Depp in court.

 

I doubt he was ever a clean living guy, but his habits with substance use seem to have tipped over into abuse in recent years as well. Alcoholism and spousal abuse are well acquainted.

 

I've also heard after he hung out with then played Hunter S. Thompson in Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas it messed him up too. Not sure how much of that is true but he definitely has had a slide in his behavior over the years.

 

Depp's always been a bad boy though. He trashed hotel rooms in the 90s and swung wood at paparazzi. That doesn't make him an abuser of women though. And most in Hollywood are still standing beside him considering the allegations.

Heard herself physically abused her former girlfriend.

 

Hollywood has issues with admitting whether someone has a problem. See: Polanski.

 

Tis' also note to point out that just because he never physically abused his ex wife, it doesn't mean that he didn't do it to Heard. By all accounts he was sober/clean while married, so his ''dark side'' didn't come out as they say, he was also at the peak of his career imo.

 

Specifically J.K. Rowling and such, people who usually don't support that kind of thing.

To be fair, he had a pretty wild, dark streak with Kate Moss in the 90s, drinking, trashing hotel rooms, and she also claimed that he never abused her.

 

Yeeeeeeesh.

So what’s the Cole’s Notes on that?

 

Several eyewitnesses including 2 DV trained police officers and 87 surveilance videos?

Will Mera be recast?

 

She was also arrested in 2009 for domestic violence against her former partner.

I did not know that.

 

It was a "minor" slap on the hand at the airport, but still it was always weird to me this was never mentioned again


If I had to guess this was one of those mutually abusive relationships. I'm sure they both hit each other

 

Nah

 

man everyone on twitter is now apologizing to depp lol

sick girl severed depp's finger off

 

Wait if Depp had all of this evidence how come he still settled?

Again, probably mutually abusive

 

He just recently got the security footage. But he was probably willing to let it drop before she published the piece in the Post in December and 4 days later Disney dropped him as Jack Sparrow.
