Maga is misogynistic and supports Depp. Far right republicans are celebrating his “win.” I’m not sure anyone is supporting AH the way Depp’s loser fans support him. People simply recognize this is a bad verdict for victims.
It's a good verdict for male victims.
It’s not. This verdict will make all abuse victims less likely to come forward, including men (who already face stigma). All abuse victims fear being disbelieved and vilified, for good reason. This trial has been a perfect distillation of that. There are few perfect victims. Amber Heard certainly isn’t perfect, and look how she was destroyed. But Depp did abuse her— there were witnesses, and not just her friends. Depp himself confessed to it in his texts. The plane incident alone constitutes abuse. But because Heard is deeply flawed and guilty of many of her own transgressions, Depp has somehow been exonerated?
If you were a man who had been abused, why would you risk this happening to you?
I can’t speak for everyone but I believe Amber took advantage of Depp much like people who prey upon east targets such as the elderly.
Depp is an addict. Either she fell for him when he was in the darkest depths of addiction (which we know wasn’t the case) or she strategically encouraged him to amp up his drug and alcohol intake precisely to prompt situations she could tape to build a case for her lucrative exit plan.
1. Latch on to him
2. Use his connections to further her career
3. Push him off the edge to ruin his career
4. Destroy his image and garner public support
5. Leave the winner with a big bag of money
A simple divorce wouldn’t work. She know that.
Everything points to a scheme. The jury saw that.
Depp has loyal friends and exes going back decades who support him. Drunk rages trashing hotel rooms aren’t the same as beating your wife. He didn’t beat up Amber or anyone else. Throwing things at nobody and smashing cabinets aren’t the abuse Amber hoped they would be. And, her very obvious scheming were transparent.
This verdict is terrible for abuse victims.
