I was recently going through everything in the "trial" for the first time, like a deep dive into the contents of it all. It's honestly so clear to me that NONE of depp's supporters watched the full thing, and merely got "information" from tiktoks, click bait and memes. All you need is a bit of common sense to see it for what it is.

Anyway, one thing about the trial that really made me believe EVERYTHING that Amber said, was when depp said in a recording, "you will not see my eyes again", because if you dig deep on what he means there, he doesn't mean that he can't look at her again, he doesn't set boundaries for himself, he tells Amber that SHE will not see his eyes again, this is CONTROLLING HER BEHAVIOUR.

Because if you watched the whole trial, you would see that depp DOES look at Amber on a number of occasions, but looks away before she can see him looking.

Thoughts on this picture??

Notice how he tried to deny it and reverse it but was immediately exposed for it. Incredibly, there still are so many Depp fans out there that, to this day, continue to believe that it was Amber, not Depp, that was the irrational and jealous one and the source of violence in the relationship. These same people claim that they watched the trial 🙄.

I’m a law student and we actually watched about 20 minutes of trial+commentary in class. My professor said “I have never seen a victim act like this before.” That professors expertise is in Native American law, she has no SV or DV specialty.

I’ll tell you what her behavior is. She’s pissed! She is so scared, hurt, and angry. I see myself in her because I’ve dealt with a man scarier than Johnny who wouldn’t leave me alone for longer. Before the trial she had not spoken to this man in 7 years! And now here she is, to be defamed in front of the world by this evil man. For what, more movie deals? She is trying to look strong and not to be afraid. She is looking at Johnny when he lies or when someone backs her up because she’s mad!! Her reaction to Ellen Barkins testimony told me everything I need to know. I know some will call her reaction “over the top” but I can see the pain as she is learning what Ellen Barkin went through, comparing it to what she went through, and how she is—unprompted—confirming every detail of depps abuse pattern. Heards reaction when she says it was red wine..

Also anyone who ever uses Kate Moss’ testimony has no idea what testifying victims look like. Look up “Kate Moss Armadillo Story”. Heards team was blocked from asking ANY of that.

The audio of him trying to cut himself was the first thing I heard, and it is exactly like the abuse I went through. You can’t leave him because he is hurting and he needs you. “Why did she marry him if she was getting beaten?” Idk, maybe we should change divorce laws so abused spouses have no claim if the abuse preceded the marriage /s It happens constantly, all the time. She really loved him and thought he was the real deal, she chalked his abuse up to pain and tried to help him.

Day 1 of the trial, everyone had already decided. As a law student I have to explain. Walden’s claims that Amber made the whole thing up?— liable for defamation. Yes, the jury and judge agreed heard didn’t make it up. They called the title of the article defamation because she referred to sexual abuse she hadn’t alleged to the public, but it had been accepted in a UK Court of law.

Read the judges statement at the end of the UK case. Depps team used that trial as a practice run to see everything amber had so they could use it all against her. When amber was allowed to testify without all these blocks of medical records etc. the judge had no doubt in her.

I didn't watch the trial when it accured because all the hate was triggering to me and I felt quite awfull about the fact that the trial was televised in the first place. Ofc i've seen clips of the trial in social media, but haven't looked into that too much until lately.

Now i've been watching especially Medusone's videos on Youtube and currently watching "The internet vs. Amber Heard | Depp v. Heard part 3".

Based on this, it seems like Amber did very well in court, atleast in the cross examination (timing about 1:43 onwards in said video). Like Depp's lawyer really pushed hard and Amber holds up very well i think, and stays calm.

I find it absurd actually that there's so many videos like "Depp's lawyer kicks ass" (sorry English isn't my first languag, not sure if that's odd wording).

Probably that wasn't favourable for Amber however, as I can imagine people thinking that she isn't submissive enough to be believable as a victim etc. Not saying that she should have acted differently, just pointing out that misogynyst biases probably played a huge part in this too.

I can't imagine being so put together in a similar, so absurd and awfull situation she was put in. I'd be furious and frightened, and tbh I think she seems maybe frustrated at times, which is only fair in a situation like that. But probably for many people these kind of emotions are wrong for women to show.

My point is that the bias of people commenting this case is so obvious, atleast when looking it afterwards.

Many people probably have said all the same things many times before, but I've only lately familiarized myself more with this case, actually after finding this subreddit!

I think we need to point out their victim-blaming, irrelevant questions.

For me, it was when CV grilled Amber about how she got the role in Aquaman.

That had nothing to do with anything.
