And nah, I didn’t buy that he couldn’t hurt a fly.

That was some of his fans’ claims. Definitely not a teetotaler. Depp and his team actually admitted this on the court. It was Amber that actually denied her drugs used and her drinking.
Because domestic violence has pattern and most of the time a recurring one. That’s why it’s common that when a person accused of DV, usually other survivor(s) came forward.
And Depp already did drugs and drinking since he was young and went through multiple years of long relationship. Yet no other exes claimed that he was abusive. Even without abuse, relationship that ended usually soured either one or both parties but in Depp’s case, his exes back to his first wife in the 80’s actually backed him. Amber’s allegations actually open the gate for more allegation yet his other exes actually defended him publicly.
No, two. Writes in blood on walls was Depp after Amber (she admitted it was her fault in her own secret recording) severed the top of his finger. The one who defecated on the bed was Amber. Come on, even Amber and The Judge agree that Depp wasn’t in the building. And no, definitely not from her miniature dog.
I spare the rest of us from the cursed image, but you can actually Google the said poop image that was taken by the housekeeper. She found the poop covered under the sheet. Definitely not a dog’s poop, that’s all I can say.
How likely? That’s why I believed in Amber first.
Depp wasted a lot of the times, but as you can see and heard from Amber’s own recordings, she never mentioned about him abusing her. Even in the kitchen ‘fight’ video (the one that TMZ edited which seemed that Depp angry at Amber then after dumping her phone, beat her), if you see the full version (both this and TMZ version are full cussing, I can't display here), you can see that even when angry Depp didn’t touch her and just slamming cupboards and inanimate objects.
She acted meek and said sorry, but in TMZ version, they removed his response. He said things that happened to him wasn’t happened at her. So, he didn’t even angry at her, and after he realized she was secretly recording him, he dump her phone and left. Without touching her. You could see Amber dropped the act after he took her phone. She was actually unafraid, even taunting him and laughing at him. Even following him and you can see her smirk and clean face afterwards. She collected ‘evidence’ even then.
Amber planned it from the start? It was a possibility. She wanted to get married (and fought hard for the marriage) and Depp said that ‘knew the fights wouldn’t stop when we got married, but thought it would curb them a little’ (they discussed it in the recording).
Interesting that you mentioned emails. Amber’s team actually used her unsent email drafts as evidence.
It was unbelievable for me at first, but from evidence, it seemed that it was indeed the case. Immediately after marriage, she began to wrote a diary that mentioned Honeymoon incident on a train, how Depp beat her (The Judge ruled this in Depp’s favor, so I don’t think I need to broke it down). But somehow her diary never brought up again for other incidents.
You can Google Amber’s parents’ text to Depp (it has swear words) after Amber issued DV. You can see how shocked Depp was, and her parents admitted to Depp that Amber just following her lawyer’s advice so she could stay on Depp’s penthouse. They even said that Depp has every right to be angry. They also agreed that the restraining order and the doctored photos were her lawyer’s idea too, so they hoped they should together again.
I don’t know if those actually her lawyer’s idea, but Amber’s parents text Depp that Amber confessed to them that the abuse was made up and an excuse for her to not get evicted.
I’m aware that The Sun was the one sued for libel. I stated that in my first post in this thread.
But these evidence will be used later for the Virginia trial next year.
Okay, I’ll give one instance that on top of my head.
In Amber’s case actually she changed dates because later people found that there are photographic evidence that showed that she didn’t have face injuries like she claimed. Initially she sworn, and deadly confident that it was March 8, 2013. Her sister Whitney, also sworn the same.
At the time, she claimed that Depp hit her caused bloody injury and caused them late to the Keith Richard’s event.
The Smeg fridge, however, only purchased more than a year later.
After the photo, suddenly she changed her story and dates, claimed that Depp hit her at March 22, 2013. Said he hit her with fist with rings, caused heavy injury. Whitney suddenly changed her dates to matched Amber’s.
But there are photo of her with Ian Patrick McLagan at March 23, free of facial injuries.
Amber swore that her face was injured in that photo.
This is not just she forgot the date. She claimed a date with specific details, yet when there are pictures said otherwise, she changed her story and date. Her sister is unreliable, because she was just parroting what Amber said. Identical to the details and even the mistakes. She changed her version of story and dates because Amber changed them first (both sisters was appeared on the court).
The police officers, medical professionals, concierges, anyone who is a neutral party.
The issues are, while Depp provided pictures of his injuries with metadata from the phone, there are pictures of Amber’s injuries that she provided without metadata. That meant she couldn’t prove her pictures are legit, because there are possibility that she could took it later. There are pictures from her with ‘edited’ in the filenames. This is important because multiple witnesses saw her without injuries, while makeup free. This metadata is important because her 2016 DV case against Depp was dismissed with prejudice because of her evidence.
In my subjective thinking, actually they negated Amber’s claims. Because I followed the trial and read court documents (unfortunately, my brain is way too weak to remember all details), and Amber and The Sun couldn’t proved even one incident with actually enough evidence vs Depp’s counter evidence.
But somehow The Judge dismissed neutral parties’ statements but accepted Amber’s (because she said under oath that she said the truth). He rejected Depp’s staff and friends’ statements (because they’re loyal and close too him) but accepted Amber’s friends and sister’s statements even though they lived off of her (some, for quite a while).

I think you are actually being perceptive. I hope I didn’t offending you in any way.
