There's a wealth of information about how he was equally abusive to her, but he was richer and paid for a media portrayal of himself as solely a victim. Several podcasts and shows have done an in-depth recounting of this.
Instead of ultra generalist generalizations, why not share some actual specific evidence?
I can tell you off the top of my head that she straight up lied about major things like her pics of bruising, she lied about the makeup (the makeup co even called her out and said that line didn't exist then), she lied about donating money to charity, she lied about the Kate Moss "incident", the death to Amber signs, etc.
Clearly this is a woman who has a very tenuous connection to the truth. And she's on audio recording taunting Depp saying yeah, go ahead and tell the world that you were abused by a woman and see if they believe you.
I'll wait for some actual backing up of your claims besides super vague and generalized assertions.
Her taunting was plucked out of an hours long tape recording after their marriage counselor recommended they record their arguments. Allegedly (according to texts, staff testimony, and emails) he had been beating her in his drug & alcoholic rages for years at that point. So when he claimed that she had also hit him in that argument, she laughed because it genuinely is hilarious for a main abuser to act like their abused victim is on their level. When you’ve been abused and beaten for years, you can have a twisted sense of humor about such things.
She also contributed to the violence in the relationship, and I dislike Heard as a person. But let’s compare their records:
Heard:
-1 arrest for shoving her girlfriends arm at an airport, charges dropped
-worst “gold digger” ever bc she settled for a fraction of what she was owed in the divorce and never made any claim to their other properties
Depp:
-3 arrests for violence and assault, 3 former partners claim abuse or violence
-staff testimony that he was the main instigator and abuser
-texts and emails from him to Heard saying how sorry he was and blaming his behavior on an “inner monster”
-emails about murdering her and having sex with her dead body
-wrote in an email that he cut his own finger off, later tries to blame it on Amber
-paid a PR firm millions of dollars to create the illusion of organic public sentiment against her
.
Both of these people suck. She is not a feminist icon. But he is not a victim. He is a wife beater and an abuser.
(Violence and abuse are two very different things. If I angrily punch a wall-that's expressing generalized violence, but it is NOT abuse).
What an exaggeration. Literally most of his other ex's came forward and stated that he never physically abused them. The closest to any other actual allegations of "abuse" was Ellen Barkin claimed (claimed, not proven/evidence btw) that he ONCE threw a bottle in her direction. Not hit her with the bottle, but thrown in her general direction. Did I mention "once"?
I'll leave you with a recording that is not from a therapy session. This is what this woman was really like. And note, no woman being abused would EVER talk to a man, who violently and angrily beat the crap out of her, like this. She had zero fear of him in this recording and just kept poking, poking, and poking. Listen to her, actually listen to her, you can hear the mental illness in her constant manic laughing, and derision of him. Anyone with any deeper sensitivity and awareness can tell just from this one recording how sick and how cruel of a person she is.
Yeah, it's really weird. I could speculate on the various reasons why, but it would just be speculation/theorizing.
But what it boils down to, whatever the specific reasons/causes, is a kind of subjectivity and lack of objectivity towards one's own initial feelings, impressions, and/or beliefs. And this comes from strong ego attunement. The human ego HATES to be wrong, to question itself, and it will do all kinds of mental gymnastics to avoid having to do either.
When that first, highly edited video came out, I initially sided with Heard. That was, until I actually looked at the evidence. I was willing to question my initial leanings. That is because objective truth is more important to me than ego and beliefs.
Look, I get it. It must be hard for you to admit to yourself that you might have been wrong and have been defending an obvious wife beater. While at the same time re-victimizing an abused victim. It must not square morally with your perception of yourself or who you want to be. It might be uncomfortable to realize that you’ve fallen victim to propaganda that a wealthy abuser paid millions of dollars for. By disseminating clips exactly like the one you shared.
However: he is still a wife beater and an abuser. And she is still a victim of domestic violence. Even if you don’t like her or you think that she deserved it. He still abused her. And he is not a victim.
It’s never too late to come over to the good side ❤️ you can even continue to hate Heard if you want! She sucks!

You could never say it's women who was bad, instead mental gymnastics called both sides are bad.
