What we have learned from the Johnny Depp / Amber Heard trial: - A woman can hold a drug addiction trial against a man when the trial is about defamation - A woman can ADMIT MULTIPLE TIMES she physically hurt a man but still be out free, enjoying herself - A man can be trauma-bonded into submission - A man can love hard and be fearful of failure in a relationship and force himself to stay - A woman can mock a man and call him a “baby” when he tells her not to hit him; “I didn’t punch you, I hit you. You’re such a baby!” (Imagine if a man said that to a woman) - A woman can illegal record a man without his consent and get away with it - A man can battle addictions but like everyone else, cannot battle it alone without support - A man can get clean and be open about his addiction struggles but then is openly condemned and mocked on a world stage for having addiction struggles - A man can lose his career over allegations but a woman with the same keeps her job - A man is not allowed to defend himself in court without ridicule and harassment - A MAN CAN BE A VICTIM OF ABUSE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE #IStandWithJohnnyDepp #JusticeForJohnny #MenAreVictimsToo

His patience is extraordinary. And when he's out of patience he takes a break so both can calm down. JD extracting himself from an unhealthy situation is NOT abuse, even if AH cries "you're killing me" by leaving. In the kitchen video, he's obviously agitated, but not violent TO HER. She is clearly baiting him, almost giggling, not a person who seems afraid of being hit. So he called her a c*nt and wrote frustrated texts to friends. As if he's not allowed to have human feelings.

As the daughter of a WONDERFUL father, who was absolutely nearly destroyed by my mother… a mother who abused me in many ways and tried to lay it at the feet of my father in court… I resonate so hard with your position on Mens Rights. In my experience, women/mothers are the abusers as often as the men. I remember always being by very curious about peoples position on “dead beat dads”. I never saw any? It was always the mothers, including my own, that were the deadbeats. My father was antagonized and drug through the mud in DISGUSTING ways, but he never let me down and he never ragged on my mom. He always told me “in the grand scheme of things, this will pass”. He was right. I moved in with him the second I was old enough to make the decision of who I wanted to live with, at 13. Unfortunately, there was already a lot of damage done and I lost the ability for many years, the capacity to be a good daughter to him. We are thick as thieves now. He is my hero. But I know I broke his heart a lot. It took many many years of healing and deep self-psychoanalysis to be where I am today. I am SO THANKFUL for my father!

Abusive people aren't abusive most of the time, even if they have fun being abusive they get tired of it and stop for a while, even if you're there for the full duration of them being abusive you're still amazed it's happening, you're still in denial about the kind of person you're living with, much less someone you just know and to strangers abusers could be the perfect icon of a model individual.

When I did my own research I was already seeing Amber’s contradictions and fake bruises and it broke my heart to see this happening to him. Fast forward 5 something years later and I’m so happy he’s finally getting justice because even though I wasn’t as big of a fan as I was in middle school it outraged me to hear people talking about him like that when I knew for a fact that he was being falsely accused.

It's more likely that they will develop the same toxic traits as their abusers if they grow up in an environment like that. In fact, you telling me, a survivor of childhood abuse with severe C-PTSD, to not speak on this is evidence of what I am saying. That's a narcissistic abusive thing to do.

JD does the right thing when an argument escalates, he is trying to leave to take a time out to avoid violence which is the right thing to do and she doesn't want that because she wants him to do something to justify herself and place the blame on him.

The psychologist's description of BPD and Heard's behavior made my blood run cold because years ago I dated a girl who behaved exactly the same way (she would constantly switch back and forth between treating me like I was a literal saint and then a piece of human garbage, it was wild). Fortunately I broke up with her after a few months because it was just exhausting me and I was too focused on school to really put effort into a relationship anyway. Thank god I did, who knows how that would've ended up. I hope Depp cleans out that awful woman's bank account. Edit since this is blowing up: This scenario played out to its end is exactly what happened to Will Smith. Anybody who's seen the horrific clips of him actively being cucked on his wife's podcast, and her asinine instagram clips humiliating him, knows exactly what I'm talking about. The damage a woman can do to a man when she is full of malevolence is beyond description, only a woman can destroy a man's soul. Additional Edit: When this lovely woman was in her 'high phase', she literally tracked down my GRANDMOTHER'S address and wrote her a two page letter describing how awesome I was and how happy she was dating me. After FOUR WEEKS of dating. My gamgam's reaction was, and I quote, "Um, she seems nice...but a bit intense. You be careful dear." As soon as I heard about this my skin started to crawl and that was the beginning of the end.

Now you are following me into my own bedroom in my house to yell at me when you said you wanted space. Are you prepared to talk it out now or do you just want to yell?"

I don't think people like Amber realize that when you're in a situation that is becoming heated where things can be said or done that can escalate to an extremely unhealthy level, asking for space protects both people. There is nothing wrong with saying "I'm not comfortable in this moment or at this level of confrontation. I'd like to take a break so neither of us says or does anything to hurt the other." Couples fight and argue. However, when you berate and abuse someone, and that person demands their space, that is *not* your queue to deny them that space by any means necessary. Insisting on what she calls "working it out" is just a Disney-esque way to manipulate the other person to stand there and let you abuse them some more "for the sake of the relationship". That is 100% abuse, and she perpetuated it.

I feel for Johnny. My friend is in a similar relationship. His wife is diagnosed BPD (borderline personality disorder) and NPD (narcissistic personality disorder). She's beaten and berated him for 10 years now but he won't leave. I hope Johnny's story can inspire other men to take a chance and get out and speak up.

[@FernandodeAndaO]

Similar as my story... Hope your friend take therapy, understand the manipulation and... RUN

[@digger420]

My little bro has a wife with the exact same diagnoses. She kept having kids (3), cause she got tired of the last one. SHE left him (thank God) cause she decided she needed to hack off her tits and become a dude. I kid you not. The oldest is in grade 4 youngest still too young for school, and the middle one does half days at school then daycare with the youngest. It is the HARDEST thing for a guy to admit, and if she hadn't decided she was a boy, he'd probably still be with her. As a woman, I am appalled at the behavior of not just the abuser, but the public when it DOES get exposed. I hope this works out for JD. He seems like the best type of friend anyone could ask for.

[@iw9472]

I truly hope he can leave, and as someone with BPD I hope more of us show the world not all of us are psychos like her.

[@FocusedFighter777]

@prawns12 Holy s**t..... why is he staying......?

[@praws12]

@@FocusedFighter777 1. They had a child together. 2. Her father is an attorney and would rip him to shreds in court. 3. He was/is conditioned to the abuse. Luckily he found a therapist this year and is realizing the abuse he's been enduring. He finally said "I don't know if I can last another 20 years". Which is progress because he used to say "I'll never leave her" at least now it seems the veil is being lifted.

[@Nuka0420]

Which it should be. Too many women have destroyed a man's life over something petty and crying rape or abuse.

[@TechnoMinarchist]

No it won't. The only reason this is even going the way it is is because Johnny is popular with women. All this case is showing is that you need to be extremely popular with women in order to get a fair trial in public opinion.

[@jasminecaulden1089]

I've know about female abusers since the 80's. My mom was responsible for getting an abuse centre opened for women in my hometown, though wasn't able to get one opened for men. No one would accept the fact men could be the victim in such cases. There is also a movie called Men Don't Tell, based on a true story, you all might want to check out.

[@laurenfox1899]

Man, listening to these audio clips… she sounds like my ex-husband so much I feel like I’m having flashbacks. “You did this by running away”. Brutal. Hope there is justice for Johnny.

[@Rae0811]

I’ve definitely known women like this and it makes me sick. I know a girl who used to hit and talk down to her boyfriend when we were in high school and he ended up dying in a car crash in our 11th grade year and to this day (we’re in our 30’s) she still posts pictures and words of sorrow and sympathy regarding his death and I’m just disgusted because I can’t help but think “… You treated him like absolute dog sh** though!” She’s been doing this since he passed. I want to believe that she’s being genuine but I can’t help but feel it’s just a bit for her to get attention.

[@KrGsMrNKusinagi0]

I have mostly girl friends and literally 3 out of 4 of them are like this.. they jump around between people, relatiionships, say they are in love when just meet someone eff em then it doesn't last for 3 weeks and goes back to doing the same $%$%.. what ADD in heck is this behavior? its gross AF.. Then literally will take a toothbrush and rub it in the toilet and give it back to someone.. THATS DISGUSTING evil manipulative BS

[@ziggyhogan7560]

I had a friend die in high school getting hit by a car. And all the girls that bullied hated and ostracised her started saying “oh she was my best friend I can’t go in without her “ all for attention/sympathy it was and still is one of the most disgusting displays of behaviour I’ve ever seen. Like they just couldn’t handle her even in death getting attention . I confronted them once and said she hated you and you hated her and they cried and denied it until I reminded how they used to call her shamu they were 17 too not 13

As a man who got out of an abusive situation with a woman like this, though thankfully nowhere near as bad in some ways, my heart breaks for him and having to prove things. Always keep your phone close to record things fellas, don't be afraid to do it, that evidence of you not being an aggressor or even touching them is priceless and can save your ass.

I was married to a woman who was physically abusive toward me for six years. She convinced me she would commit suicide if I left her. I've been out of the relationship for almost ten years, but hearing the details of case, and seeing these issues exposed to the public, is totally vindicating. The similarities in the dynamics are almost eerie. Thanks for doing this Sydney

There are women out there who are really going through domestic violence situations and for Amber Heard to make a mockery of this and to bait him. I am just not impressed with her. She has to pay for this. Does she have the $50m to pay him?

[@GLoLChibs]

High profile case highlighting the disparity in how society treats female victims vs male victims, how easily society will believe the woman even when she's the abuser off claims alone and when truth comes to light, society still dogpiles on him. This man is abused and lost work because of lies. I house male DV victims, at any given time I have a group of men that are in similar situations. Erin Pizzey, feminist who founded the first women's shelter in UK, tried bringing attention to this issue as far back as the 70s when her work led to showing half her intakes were also abusive to men...and she was removed from her own shelter for suggesting a men's shelter. And you...made it about women. Good job. This is why it's such an issue, no one can have the conversation without a crowd taking attention from the male victims to focus on women.

Maybe the domestic violence grievance industry, which is heavily biased against male victims and have belittled and ignored men's voices for decades, shouldn't have made psycho Heard their ambassador and poster girl and made JD the horrible abusive monster because, let's face it, he has a penis? Maybe those greedy sexist bureaucrats have a hand in making a mockery of women who are really going through domestic violence situations? Maybe they need to be held accountable?
