Of course across the internet there’s no shortage of people exaggerating and sensationalizing the case, and people only willing to categorize opposite sides of the battle as pure good or evil so they can unabashedly cheer for their sides without reservation. However, I don’t see people staning Depp in this thread. Nobody in their right mind thinks he’s an angel or “innocent”.

Maybe the public fallout against Heard has been disproportional to similar cases, but I don’t see misogyny being the reason at all. I see that being a result of this high profile case that became a bit of a circus that ended up getting a lot of hype largely via being fully televised for everyone to follow along with closely. That and she’s shown herself to be not very likeable or credible.

Even if people were out for a juicy target, I’d bet almost everyone who had turned on Heard was just as ready turn on Depp before they’d heard both sides. She seems to have failed to prove her story in that link both in court and it would appear the court of public opinion. It’s a case where the public had access to all of the court testimonies and proceedings.

You know that she hired a P.R. firm in part to directly influence the media, right? Why are we supposed to put weight in one random opinion article that is clearly just parroting her story as true when there’s just been an in-depth court case looking intensely at the matter?

I fully acknowledge misogyny is an issue in the world and that a much higher proportion of men are abusers. However, this is simply an individual case that’s seems like an exception and I think most people here on Depp’s side are smart enough to categorize it as such. It’s great to always try to be aware of potential misogyny out there, but at the same anything can feel misogynistic if one is inclined to want to feel that.

Amber Heard Hires New PR Team To Help With Bad Headlines

Amber Heard’s New PR Team Just Contacted Us. Here’s What They Said.

Amber Heard’s new PR guru faced sex harass claims, has history of DUI arrests
This is going to be the last piece I say on this matter.

At no point have I defended Amber Heard as an abuser or said she hasn't lied. I've stated that this subject is quite a bit more complicated then it's been portrayed as, and while I do believe she has lied about aspects of this story I also recognize that there is a significant amount of evidence that Johnny Depp also abused her as well which I think is silly to ignore.

Go on and keep living your lives.
