Celebrity Paedogeddon and old men yelling at clouds

He is abusive, in terms of being very difficult to live with via his addictions and mood swings and seemingly having a 'deal with it or fuck off' attitude about it. Physically, it doesn't seem so.

The word "allegedly" is doing a whole lot of work in that sentence.

Yeah, not.

Even if she is/was a terrible human being, that wouldn't/doesn't remotely excuse Depp's abusive behaviour anyway.

Mélange a trois, like what Heard did with Musk and Delevingne.

Not getting into how it relates to the Depp / Heard bullshit specifically as I cba getting into that at all at the moment, but *in general* those things are all very much abuse.

Some are perhaps worse than others but they're all abusive behaviour and so can be treated in much the same way.

Amber does seem like a nightmare to put it lightly.

The article about the alleged affair mentions one night.

We know Johnny was a addicted to drink and drugs and often violent, in the very least smashing hotel rooms and his own home. Worst case being all the accusations are true and he was beating her.

As awful as she is, if an attractive 30 year old woman comes to the realisation she's married to a drink and drug addict 20 years her senior. I can see how having a fling with the richest man on the planet and one of the hottest models might hold some appeal to have a break from reality.

No justification, just I can understand how that could happen. But again this seems like mud slinging, if she did have an affair.. What does that prove? She maybe she deserved a slap?

Even the videos above, the thumbnails straight away tell you what angle they're going for. She's awful, but we know that already.

There's been some suggestions that this is why his legal team wanted to conduct the case in Virginia, not in LA (where they both live), so they could take advantage of its weaker anti-SLAPP laws and the case could be tried in the public eye (and thus, in the court of public opinion), rather than in private.

The Washington Post explains why it's in Virginia.

Not any mention of it being because of Anti-SLAPP reasons.

Exactly this.

I've had my fair share of Amber's, from gaslighting and cheating to physical abuse and stalking.

A male friend of mine recently had the police involved due to his mentally and physically abusive girlfriend, who eventually stopped him leaving the house.

But none of the above would excuse abusing the woman in question. We didn't write abuse on walls or mirrors, we didn't even go trashing the house in a drunken and drug fueled rage, which personally I feel is a form of intimidation and abuse in itself.

The focus seems to be how awful Amber Heard is.. How she lies, how she too takes drugs, allegedly has a personality disorder and even prostitutes herself out Elon Musk.

She might well do and be all those things and might have been a cause or trigger for Depp. That doesn't make any form of abuse from him any less wrong. Just feels dangerously close to justification from all sides.

Oh Hi Johnny!

While we’re on about the media circus around this thing, worth highlighting that there’s plenty of evidence of right-wing weaponization of the trial as an attack on feminism #metoo etc.

This has been an absolutel gift to them, though. 'See? We told you women suck!'. Ugh.
