  1. Amber's lawyer said that Johnny slamming kitchen cabinet doors would count as psychological/emotional abuse. Is this actually the case in the US? Bewildered of UK x

  2. Finally the media is being in biased. Especially since men can be abused too and we should not believe all women just because they are women

  3. He went through his entire life with not abusing anyone. Then a monster came into his life.
    She was antagonist, manipulative, and did nothing but caused problems for his family.
    One can only be pushed so far until they break! So he yelled, spoke ugly words, and hit cabinets. He admitted to all of his wrongdoings, she tried to paint a picture of herself being perfect. Lying about even the most simple of things.
    Then she claimed even the slightest things triggered her into having a meltdown. Yet not one was seen in this trial. Only dry eyed acting on the stand. She smirked and held her head high. Not the sign of someone suffering from abuse and PTSD.

  4. Amber must be having hallucinations because she answers questions while looking right at the jury. Canโ€™t wait for outcome to happen, crazy bit**

  5. Johnny is a loving caring man who goes out of his way to help others he deserves justice respect and most of all to be truly loved xxx

  6. amber is gonna be living 1 lonely life….

  7. J Deep had living rent-free all her friends, right beside their pent house, friends that have keys to that PH, please… Amber is a liar, with severe mental issues.

  8. There is actual evidence that she was the abuser, recorded by Heard herself. Unfortunately Johnny's body guard in that recording has since died of old age it seems so it was not allowed into the trial.
    The reason the public supports Johnny is because we have access to all that evidence, and we can research where inconsistencies in claims lie, such as her using a makeup kit that did not exist during their marriage as her evidence of covering up bruising. She was forced to walk it back in testimony, but still kind of failed by stumbling into saying she did use bruise kits.
    She also submitted false evidence, lots of it, Depp's team pointed out a few of the photos that had been photoshopped, submitted as separate exhibits, but clearly the same photo with a color change.
    Even one of the last photos submitted, used to confuse Johnny about his bruise on their honeymoon, was edited either by Heard, or her attorney's, which calls into question if they should be sanctioned for using doctored evidence to confuse him on the stand. That picture of him holding a baby, there's a higher resolution image of it with far more vivid colors, you can clearly see the shadow of his eye socket he was describing. The photo submitted into this trial was horrendously shrunken so the pixels are the size of bricks and the colors are so desaturated you can barely make some of the original colors out at all. https://twitter.com/winonasrider/status/1117115073993035777 Here's high resolution images, with the kid's face covered for some reason, and this is what Heard's team submitted https://twitter.com/siannnyyy26/status/1529573795589148673
    Unless you're legally blind, there's no denying she is gaslighting everyone with lies.

  9. If you put a poster over a freeway telling stories about your relationship it is verbal abuse. To publish it through a news outlet far worse. . . .I found the ABC's in Australia defence of Amber Heard as a strike against women, compellingly wrong. It says that all men deserve to go to jail, or be victims as soon as a woman opens her mouth. It does nothing in ABC's article to mention facts and evidence from the trial, and certainly not bi-partisan. . .The trial proves beyond a doubt Amber is a violent Woman. It proves beyond a doubt she is verbally manipulative. And it proves beyond a doubt she is verbally abusive. And it proves beyond a doubt Warner Brothers were selective on gender violence and who to reward, and who to cut off. I feel the ABC realise the ramifications of the Sun law suit if a court in Virginia prove the allegations true, or skewed in favour of Amber because of the "Me too" movement. It opens them up to litigation for miss trial. And I feel when ever a news outlet claims it is a step backwards for women's domestic violence claims, they are automatically claiming Johnny is guilty because he is a man. . . They disregard the fact Camille Vasquez (A Women) has presented the facts. Which she needs the credit for. And like Amber says. No other woman has come forward yet to provide evidence against Johnny. Sure some of what Amber said could possibly be true. But there are to many lies to pick right from wrong.

  10. However MSM spins it, Johnny has his โ€œrepโ€ back no matter what, and will any sane guy ever contemplate marrying AH? #MenToo

  11. I am a woman. Ive seen everything on this trial. I am not a fan of either of them. In my conclusion, I am for Johnny all the way. #justiceforjohnnydepp #MenToo

  12. As far as mainstream media is concerned, I donโ€™t care.
    As far as the trial is concerned, I believe and stand with #justiceforjohnnydepp.

  13. Oh Gawd, please no more of two weird little sociopaths and their dysfunctional attempt at a stable relationship being played out in public!!! ๐Ÿคฎ

  14. In other news, mainstream media is finally deliberating. Take it on the chin, ABC, at least you did finally come to the party. Nice interview and good choice imho. Peace.

  15. Please please can the media stop showing pictures of them together ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ’” .We don't want to loose Johnny. Please he has children and fragile situation. Please

  16. O Lord am i glad i am so fed up with this two spotlight seekers . Please go away!

  17. I am glad that Johhny able to tell his side of the story. At first i truly support Amber but with all of these evidence and how Amber behave, i just realize that she is the abuser. Altho, i think the relationship itself is toxic but seems like Amber is the one that abused and start all of this. Prayers to all victim of abuse and violence out there, be it men and women. May you find peace and happiness.

  18. There is a SEA of SUPPORT for Johnny D. Love as an Ocean โค๏ธ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ€

  19. I say both are at fault but no body cares what i think๐Ÿค

  20. I believe Dr. Curry nailed her diagnosis of Amber Heard. She is a very scary person …like the character from Gone Girl. I hope her innocent baby is the focus of protection now that the trial is over.

  21. There is not hope for the rest of usโ€ฆ.these people with money , beauty and fame and still managed to be miserableโ€ฆ.

  22. Yeah sure he's there for his name the multi million price tag it's just for show ,, come on…lol Your name is forever tarnished especially after this trial just shows you how abusive both sides were to each other..And how messed up he was on drugs Or whatever the hell he was on

  23. Men can be victims of abuse too. Those claiming that Depp sympathizers are in the wrong for taking his sideโ€ฆdef worth keeping in mind that men rarely report abuse. Two sides but only one has physical evidence of abuse. Nothing wrong with siding with the true victim.

  24. THE MERCENARY Head crushing blood spraying violence by former 2 REP French Foreign Legion Sniper now free on Amazon Prime ……..

  25. People are brainwashed
