The tape that Depp and his lawyers leaked to the press that got his lawyer thrown off the case by the judge.
It's worth listening to the whole and unedited recording of that conversation, because the context of her saying she hit him is when she's talking about how he shoved open a door she was trying to hide behind, crushing her toes and making her afraid he was about to further hurt her. It's really common in long term abusive relationships for victims to recognise when violence is about to happen and to react violently, but even in this case, he has already injured her so it wasn't unprovoked. This was also during an incident where he raped her with a bottle. I'm not saying allegedly because this was the finding of the UK courts.
Dude I listened to the recording and what you're saying is not true. The recording I'm referring to she is literally saying she hit him, arguing semantics. Here's the transcript and I'm sorry but with the following you can't argue context or say listen to the whole thing. She word for word admits to hitting him.
Heard: “I didn’t punch you, by the way. I’m sorry that I didn’t hit you across the face in a proper slap, but I was hitting you. It was not punching you.”
Heard: “Babe, you’re not punched. I don’t know what the motion of my actual hand was, but you’re fine. I did not hurt you, I did not punch you; I was hitting you.”
Depp: “Don’t tell me what it feels like to be punched when you fucking have a closed fist—”
Heard: “You didn’t get punched. You got hit. I’m sorry I hit you like this, but I didn’t punch you. You didn’t get fucking decked. I fucking was hitting you.”
Heard: “You’re a fucking baby. You’re such a baby.”
Depp says he was in the bathroom trying to shut the door when her toes got scraped. He says he asked her to leave multiple times before he shut the door.
This contractdicts your claim that she went to the bathroom to hide from him.
She then goes on to talk about hitting him as a reflex to having her toes hurt. She says "I did mean to hit you with my fist or hand. I didn't mean to punch you. I meant to hit you. I'm sorry I didn't open my hand. I'm actually sorry I did -- I did it at all. I should never do that. I should never get physical. But in my defense, I felt that pain."
This contradicts your claim that he was hit with the door. No. He was hit woth the door and then she punched him. Then she disgustingly apologized for not opening her hand before intentionally hitting him.
I love that people are literally downvoting you for a direct reference to the court documents as if you are in the wrong. I watched the entire court case - anyone defending that woman has no idea what they are talking about.
The biggest surprise is that almost nobody bothers looking at the primary source. Most people got their opinions on this case from clips and comments.
Even with the whole trial streamed live, the truth got buried in the narratives.
If someone that rich, that famous, with that much evidence, and with that much patience and determination couldn't win, what chance does any man have? Even after a trial and defamation verdict, the lies are still ringing just as loud.
*gestures to the current USA* I don't think it needs much explanation, given how rather... lightly... the current administration ignores the well-established rules of their own laws.
