This is the big problem to me, Amber Heard (and a lot of the media outlets) have dealt damage to their movement. But, IMO, this was almost inevitable after the movement became “#IBelieveWomen”. At some point, there was going to be a highly-publicized, unsubstantiated case where the woman should not have been believed.
I certainly believe that most women that come forward are victims, but it’s not 100%. The end point should never have been that all claims of abuse begin and end with the claim of the alleged victim. Those claims need to be taken seriously and investigated without bias. And the women making such claims in good faith should not suffer for bringing the claim forward.
But this is not that scenario (based on everything I’ve seen, though admittedly I haven’t followed as closely as other posters). This is not a he said, she said of conflicting testimonies. This is she lied, he said AND he had the recordings and other evidence to back it up.
