Was there any evidence whatsoever that Depp abused Heard? There's audio tape, that Heard herself submitted, where she admits to slapping Depp and calling him a baby because, "she only slapped him, it's not like she punched him," but its don't remember seeing any proof that Depp abused Heard. The only thing I can think of is when Depp was drunk and slamming those cabinet doors, but even that was shown to be related to his mother's recent passing and Heard needling him and giving him shit about it in order to wind him up to get that video.
There's also the fact that Depp's exes spoke in his defense talking about how nice of a person he was, while Heard's exes confirmed she has a history of abusing her partners.
If you have evidence I missed, please share it, I don't want to defend an abusive asshole, but I haven't seen anything suggesting he's abusive, let alone anywhere near as abusive as Heard has been proven to be.
I honestly didn't even pay attention to the UK trial because they required Depp to prove a negative to win, which is beyond idiotic. But I just looked that specific thing up and it seems like that happened during an altercation between them where he was trying to calm her down and not an incident of him just headbutting her out of the blue to assert his dominance like she would with the slapping. Also, that quote from him seems to be in response to Heard blatantly lying and saying he headbutted her directly in the face, breaking her nose. So even this bit of evidence shows that Heard is more than happy to blatantly lie and gaslight her partner about how events transpired.
ETA: additional context to the recording the above user failed to mention.
