All of these losers and trashy click bait article authors know that this is a hot topic right now. Writing an article about how Depp was abused and how Heard is an abuser doesn’t generate clicks. The world spent weeks learning about that. It’s old news and it isn’t controversial.
If you want eyeballs, you need to create controversy. And the easy controversy right now is to defend Heard and maintain that Depp is a scumbag who is single-handedly destroying the me too movement. It doesn’t hurt that the MRAs have, to no one’s surprise, taken Depp’s side. The fact that side happens to be the right one allows all of these rags and gossip sites (and some legitimate media) to tag anyone who thought Depp was a victim as being part of the misogynists.
