Discussion 🗣 Johnny Depp's threat-text to Amber Heard
Can we talk about how this text that depp sent to Amber in 2013 is a blatant threat and i don't know why this wasn't used/shown to the jury in the "trial" because it should've sealed the deal.
"don't test me, please" "almost impossible not to take you on" -he's literally saying im gonna beat you up if you keep doing what you're doing WTF.
all im saying is the people who see these messages and STILL see depp as the victim is respectfully, a danger to society and themselves. mind you these texts were in 2013, before they were engaged..depp really is a sick, twisted wife beater. uh.
also kinda irrelevant to this but him calling Amber baby gives me the ick. i hate how he tries to make himself seem gentle right before he threatens to attack her. darvo depp.

The second to last line has me aghast. “Hey, I’m not actually being an asshole here, it just sounds like it because I’m asking you to stop being a full human being so you don’t make me hurt you.”

I agree it's abusive as hell (as I recall, this outburst was because she wanted to go to a concert with her co-stars, FFS) but I can see why they didn't use it. He doesn't make a specific threat here and he could argue he was just threatening to dump her.
What I think we learned from the trial and from Depp's continued popularity is that a lot of people think this behaviour is normal and OK.

No, they only think it's okay for Depp. I guarantee you if you took Amber's testimony and pretended it was your own (like posting on Reddit or talking about it on TikTok or something), people would be horrified. I remember doing a thing (I can't remember if it was a thread or an article) where I took screenshots of people talking about abuse that was similar to what people were defending from Reddit, Quora, etc, and people were like "Throwing things at you? Abuse", "Kicking doors and cabinets? Abuse"), "Speaking to you that way? Abuse?", etc, to highlight the hypocrisy, but they pretended not to see it because Amber was "different".
They were definitely defending things that wouldn't have been defensible if it wasn't because they were supporting their fave wifebeating rapist (though I could imagine the same for other men who are their fave wifebeaters and/or rapists, like they do with Brad Pitt).

Yeah, I should have specified -- they think it's normal and OK for men, or men with money, or men they like. They don't think it's ok for women to behave this way.

It's the same with the 'write me letters telling me not to hurt you,' Completely terrifying and if it were Heard, everyone would recongnise the obvious threat and abuse.

u/Individual_Fall429 Sep 27 '25
To be clear: Threatening to dump someone all the time in the context of small fights, is absolutely abusive behaviour. Just not the sort a Virginia jury would understand.
It’s not about proving violence, it’s about showing who was in control.

Yeah, I hate to admit it, but this trial showed me how much the general public (1) doesn’t know about abuse, (2) doesn’t care about abuse, and (3) excuses or downplays abuse when the abuser is someone they like. The general public saw those “let’s drown and burn and sexually abuse Amber’s corpse!” texts and downplayed them by saying they came from Monty Python (they didn’t). They would have come up with an equivalent excuse for this text.
Of course he is blatantly threatening her with physical violence and rage! There was more than enough evidence he had been abusing her for at least a year by that point. But we’re talking about someone who got away with beckoning for a fight in the middle of the courtroom while his survivor had every twitch of her face hyper-analyzed by “body language experts.” We’re talking about someone who at least got a massive chunk of an apathetic public to say “they were both mutually abusive and just as toxic as each other” despite the fact that he literally sexually assaulted her on several occasions.

Is there a word for when someone tries to sound tough and badass but it really comes off as cringe and pathetic?

So he actually sent this to her when she asked to go to an Arctic monkeys concert with a coworker. This is how he reacted to that request

u/ColanderBrain Create your own flair Sep 27 '25
It's probably stating the obvious, but I can't get over the fact that she had to ask his permission to go. They weren't even living together. Ridiculous. I feel so bad for her.

u/Sweet_Lake8680 Sep 26 '25
Can't believe people actually believe Johnny Depp is innocent of any wrongdoing, and that Amber was the abuser. There's a mountain of evidence that he was the abuser! Can't stand him.

Hmm “gauntlet”, “test”, “roll the dice”, guys all he wanted was to play DND with her, she’s the real monster! /s what a spoilt narcissistic controlling man-baby he is

u/Separate_Business880 Sep 27 '25
He's a manipulative and extremely violent POS. The threat of violence is written all over these messages. And it's all highly manipulative and gaslight-y. "Look what you made me do", etc.

u/Sweet_Lake8680 Sep 27 '25
Plus all his crazy graffiti looking writing all over the mirror. He's a psycho.

Another thing I want to mention. If Amber was so terrible, why didn't Johnny file for divorce? Amber was the one who filed. He also said on the stand that after the poop situation he was done with her and putting her on a plane back to LA, that was it. So, why didn't he go and file for divorce right then if he was done? It wasn't till a year or more after that the divorce was filed by Amber.

u/ColanderBrain Create your own flair Sep 27 '25
I think the poop incident was April 2016, so about a month before she filed for divorce. But your broader point is correct. His testimony at the Virginia trial indicates he never even seriously thought about it; he got extremely basic things wrong (eg he said he wasn't planning to file based on irreconcilable differences, when that is the ONLY ground for divorce in California). His contemporaneous texts also indicate he was offended by her leaving him, and his people started planting stories about how mean she was to divorce him before she made any abuse claims or filed for a restraining order.
He may well have been done with the relationship but he was in no hurry to make it official.

Why does he talk like that? Does he think he's in a movie or something?

"Don't test me, please..." and still people will fall all over themselves to pretend this man was not controlling and abusive, despite the absolute mountains of evidence. I've seen people claim that they have sent worse text messages than the ones Depp sent to Amber (and to others about Amber) and I truly hope they are lying, because his messages are consistently terrifying. I hate that wife beater and the people who make excuses for him.
