Amber Heard. The hate she received during the trial Heard vs Depp was highly disproportionate. Usually, when someone is -really or allegedly- cancelled, many people lose their shit, but strangely, when she was cancelled for real, not so much people complained, while Depp was unfairly victimized. She was clearly a scapegoat for misogynistic low instincts.
I have to agree. I do think they were both in the wrong and were toxic for each other. However, the amount and severity of the hate Amber received is astonishing to me.
The internet portrayed her as the devil while making Johnny appear as the most innocent victim ever. I'm not going to lie, I was 100% on Johnny's side at first, until I realised no one bothered to share Amber's testimony. And when I looked more into it, I figured she was a victim as well.
Again, I don't think she's innocent but she definitely didn't deserve to be treated so harshly and Depp shouldn't have been praised so much
Past partners confirmed Amber was prone to violent outbursts. She had an affair with Elon Musk of all people who then paid for her terrible attorneys.
Never forget that she shat in Depp’s bed - she’s unhinged. You can’t come back from that.
Right and that's why I said she's not innocent and is in the wrong as well. Does that excuse Depp's abusive behavior?
Regardless of the merits of their respective cases she was very much a victim of a poor choice of legal representation. The contrast in the degree of preparedness and competency between their legal team couldn't have been clearer. The future careers of way more than Amber and Jonny were determined during that trial.
