Body Language Analyst REACTS to Amber Heard TESTIMONY! Did Johnny Depp Hit Her? Shocking PERJURY!

[@TheBehavioralArts]

Hey everyone! Hope you enjoy this breakdown! I have a few additional post-edit comments I want to make that could be important. Also if you’re new to behavior analysis and want to learn more about the science of it and some amazing studies about it; check out this video of me and one of the best in the business, explaining everything you need to know about this amazing field: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoOqnZ6meLCYepo 1) A lot of you caught that in the clip I asked you to “bookmark.” She said “loosened my grip” instead of “his grip.” Great catch! In my initial listen I heard “the grip,” then heard “my” in editing. But for those of you who caught that. 👏🏻 👏🏻 2) Another really crazy thing about the bottle he was allegedly holding is she says “did you drink THIS whole thing?” It is excessively rare that we say “this” about something somebody else is holding. She would have said “did you drink THAT whole thing.” Of course anything is possible… .. except that, she’s totally making it up. 😆 jk! (Kinda) 3) Other analysts have mentioned that she often shifts from past to present tense while telling her story and it’s important to them. I always respect other pros in my field and we all have our own styles. But I know that a lot of people think back and step into the moment and re-experience it in the present tense, it’s common in trauma recall. Especially sensory memory like “I can feel the heat on my arm and there’s this noise behind me.” I would say SHIFTING back and forth is suspicious but I wouldn’t call using present tense for recall a sign of deception. (While respecting other analysts who do.)

I agree with the above comment. I was watching some stale quartet do analysis on these two and it was nowhere near as in depth, articulate, clear and obvious as your videos. You’re the best. Not bothering to go anywhere else for my analysis. Also, very awesome of you to mention colleagues and their channels.

[@ProEllusionist]

That bookmark clip, she says “at some point I’m in his face” was she implying she retaliated by getting up in his face and slapping him, or was it a slip and she should have said “at some point he was in my face”? I don’t remember the full context of that but of the story so can’t really tell

Johnny’s responding verbal abuse is called “reactive abuse”. Basically the narcissist pushes you past your breaking point intentionally. Then when you lash back, the narcissist points saying, “see, see! You’re abusive to me!”

[@mollieosinga6691]

That's what I've been thinking.

[@Georgia.J]

Valid point, should have more likes 👍 I thought the same. He adored her and she must have a certain charm as well as beauty but at some point she was abusive ,mentally and physically and continued in that vein relentlessly with increasing venom. She basically made him have a nervous breakdown. When crazy behaviour in a couple becomes the norm he responded in kind. In the texts from him pouring his heart out and apologising he says they mutually go too far. He is referring to cruelty in verbal form and crazy acts of spite. I believe he did say she was "whi*ring herself out" by taking acting parts he deemed unworthy because he is a bit of a snob. I believe he wrote profanity on lamps. But this was after all her gaslighting , calling him a bad father, physically abusing him, wrecking his self esteem and warping his perception of events. This wouldn't of been helped by his subsequent drinking and substance use but I also feel he was heartbroken. At some points when she was cold with him following a huge fall out he needed a reaction from her. Any reaction is better than none. Because at that point he still loved her and wanted her, no matter what that entailed. He was verbally abusive but nothing more and did so in retaliation and far less readily than her. She was physically and verbally abusivex , created and insisted upon a turbulent toxic relationship ,did not love him as he loved her and committed perjury for the most part of her testimony. I have no idea why she could not enjoy being Mrs Depp and being genuinely adored by her spouse as she clearly was. She must have married him as gets is so famous and relished the fame and fortune it would bring. Either she is a narcissist and enjoyed tormenting him as she didn't really love him or did it out of boredom. I think she leans more towards women than men (not shaming just stating) and so there wasnt the same strength of feeling for her. She grew bored and so the toxicity began. He is very brave to face her, his abuserx, in court. It must have taken a lot of courage but I'm glad he recovered from her devastating treatment of him. That alone will really annoy her.

[@darrellwilliams1991]

That's because every instance of abuse is true, however she is actually the perpetrator in those moments, she just tries to play the role of johnny, as she knows she was the aggressor, and he the victim, she lets it slip so many times that she was actually the aggressor. Watch how she changes between 1st person and then 3rd person narration, as if she's reading a book, like it didn't really happen to her. she constantly changes between, past, present, future and past perfect tenses

yeah, she's a terrible liar. I get people mix up their words sometimes, so I don't want to pounce everytime someone does that. BUT SHE DOES IT OVER AND OVER. It's particularly hard for the victim to accidentally put themselves in the shoes of the aggressor. I can let it go once or maybe even twice, but she did it again and again every time she told a story.

[@jumperguy9867]

According to Johnny Depp's assistant, he would routinely book a second room so he could escape when things got out of hand. And Amber would never know where it was. Let me ask everyone out there. How out of place does it seem to be for an abuser to want a room he could escape to so he could get AWAY from the person he is abusing???

I'm so glad you pointed out her behaviour when reminiscing about the start of their relationship!! You're the first I've seen address this. Her behaviour didn't make sense to me at all. I was in an abusive relationship for 8 years and I've been out of it for another 8 years. I do not feel in any way nostalgic about him or our beginning. As you say, the emotion that comes up when I think back to that time is disgust. I've been around many other abused women in group therapy as well and never once have I seen someone discuss their abuser the way Amber did. Again, it was disgust or deep disappointment/sadness.

[@TheBehavioralArts]

I’m so glad you got out and found the help and support to get on with your life. ❤️

[@korosuke1788]

This matches to a friend I met while she was in the "good" part of an abusive relationship. I remember them being very happy, but 10 years later she refers to him by an ugly nickname and makes a face of disgust whenever those moments come up in conversations.

[@nancylorenz5082]

Kelly, I totally agree with you! I too got out of an abusive marriage and I don’t have any positive feelings towards him. I’m glad to be free and don’t ever want to cross paths with him again. Everything that could have been good was sullied by him. I look back at that time with disgust!

[@Darth_Mom_2]

Yes compare this with how Johnny describes it. A sadness because you feel fooled. He is sad when he says he thought she was different.

[@louizianna80]

I’ve just commented virtually the same thing, then spotted your comment. Im the same, I get an overwhelming feeling of nausea, disgust and a bit of an anxious feeling when I think back. I had 3 relationships (one cheated and was low level abusive, one lied pathologically and one was abusive and I think cheated - I’m clearly a glutton for punishment) and the whole memory of each of the relationships is tainted by what they did. There’s no happy memories.

[@Tara_OvO]

Same here. I never payed attention to these two before so I’m completely unbiased at first. I am quite empathetic, and I often feel something for Amber (like sympathy or so) and then immediately get confused and put off by her expressions and words. The way her emotion fades and comes up, the way she stares at the jury and the camera, the way she speaks and basically indicates that everyone except her is lying…I feel insulted as a logical human being. It doesn’t make sense and for me this process is very annoying.

[@milanahoward4736]

All I pick up on is her anger and her hatred, her aggression, no sincerity...contempt maybe for herself and Johnny, lots of her boredom and annoyance and confusion of coming up with lies or trying to remember lies while being questioned...no real sadness or hurt to empathize with other than her hurt pride and desire for confirming attention.

[@natalie4787]

Empath here. Her hysterical testimony didn’t make me feel her pain, it left me absolutely exhausted. I’ve been with a narcissist who was abusive. The abuse I experienced made me do and say crazy things that I have never done in any other time or relationship before or since. It doesn’t surprise me that Johnny said or did some crazy sh!t. Narcissists can push you to the edge of your sanity. I don’t necessarily think that makes him an abuser.

I think Ben Chew, Johnny's attorney, got excited about the "bee story" Amber was telling, cause she went to the vet for the dog, and suprisingly didnt go to the doctor for all the psysical abuse she allegedly suffered. Edit: Yes, while its totally common for abuse victims not to speak up, you have to first remember she (Amber) isnt just some "housewife" in the suburbs, financialy dependent on her husband, taking care of the kids, with no one by her side. Her friends lived with them, she had a NURSE and a DOCTOR dedicated to her needs. She is in the entertaiment industry, fotographed every day, hairstylists,makeup artist are around her EVERYDAY.

I don't think Johnny does either. He made his point. Amber is NOT an innocent DV/SA victim. She is just as guilty, if not more at fault than him. I pray they move on from this.

[@Tiffany-Rose]

I completely agree. When he said that I was like yup. I have a very strong intuition and I'm also Neuro divergent and have been watching people and picking up patterns my whole life and I think I'm very empathetic and watching her testimony all I felt was AWKWARD, uncomfortable and just grossed out. I was physically embarrassed by her, not really for her but, it was just cringe 😬. I can't imagine being on the jury having her staring you down while shes trying so desperately to tell her story 🫣🫢 Whatever the outcome, it's been a wild 🧐 look at human behavior. 😳

[@Tiffany-Rose]

@William Tell Honestly, I have to agree. He mentioned before how she wouldn't leave him alone, wanting him to fight, calling him names, pressing his buttons. It reminded me of an ex of mine who would mentally and verbally abuse me just to get a rise out of me. Just to piss me off. Almost wanting me to do something. It's possible she did this all the time. There is only so much you can take before you react. I'm not saying it's justified unless he was in fact defending himself from an attack but like the verbal stuff and his trashing places, that sounds like a person that's pushed to their limits having no outlet or feeling like they don't. I can relate. I have never been pushed to those limits since that ex, never. I fully believe he would never have done anything if she hadn't worn him down to nothing. She is evil and twisted in my opinion. She's making a mockery of DV and SA victims everywhere and it's disgusting.

[@crissyc9831]

I definitely feel like I am an Empath, and I felt something for sure during her testimony. It wasn't empathy though.... Lol it was cringe, just horrible second-hand embarrassment for her to the point where I just had to stop watching at certain points. When I see other people cry, I start crying too, but when she cried, I felt nothing but a cringe... With Johnny, I definitely felt a deep sadness for him, but the way he copes by joking made me quickly feel better about a very sad situation for him.

My dad was extremely abusive while I was growing up and he'd regularly hit me and choke me in public and not _once_ was I embarrassed by it. I remember reaching a point that I became indignant about it and would actively try to get _more_ attention in hopes it would make him stop, that _he_ would get embarrassed. I knew even as a 6-year-old that being abused wasn't something to be embarrassed about, but that being an abusER was. When you're in that kind of situation you go primal, there's only fear and sometimes anger, there's no room for sophisticated emotions like embarrassment. Embarrassment might come later, especially if you're gaslit into thinking the abuse is your fault, but it just does not happen in the moment.

As a TRUE survivor of domestic violence who suffers from PTSD I gotta say, she has the same mannerisms as my ex who was my abuser. It really triggers me watching her testimony...not because of the story itself but her mannerisms and how she says things. I get flashbacks when I watch her. I am "free" from that abuse and the person now but I don't ever feel like I'm actually free. I have severe anxiety, I get physically sick (nauseous and even actually throwing up), I shake uncontrollably, I dissociate from life and people around me, I have night terrors and wake up drenched in sweat and screaming and crying. All caused by the abuse I endured. If I was to ever have to be in the same room with my ex now I wouldn't be able to physically handle it and I would probably have to go to the hospital for an anxiety attack...

When I saw the texts in the end, I broke down. I am a guy who was in an abusive relationship with a younger woman for 12 years. Being the older one, I was always trying to be the "bigger" person in all situations taking in verbal and sometimes physical abuse, quick to apologize and always ready to admit my shortcomings. I was an eternal optimist that being patient and forgiving will eventually work out... but the abuses kept escalating. Those texts seem so familiar, I authored quite a few of them. I cut my losses and called it quits finally, and got out clean. I really feel for Johnny, but I am glad things are turning around for him, there is overwhelming support for him everywhere I see. Good people deserve redemption.

[@paulw3745]

I feel for you. I'm only copying my comment from above because I'm genuinely interested in your view, given your experience, which I understand. It reads: Hypothesis - she is drawing on and visualising, experiences from her early life. Many of her statements that appear to have integrity look as though she is drawing on that pain. (note when she said " I was sitting on the sof... [meaning sofa, but she stopped herself] ...the floor). The factual statements related to JD appear fake and contrived. Maybe JD is the wrong person on the end of her pain. I can't be alone in being this pattern - why isn't it being referenced more? Honest question BTW - due to legality? too sensitive to cover?

[@jaghond2]

In cases of he said she said, it can be hard to figure out who is right. But I can say there is no side that is completely blameless. JD may have been aggressive verbally or even physically (pushing or grabbing ) towards her during the course of arguments, and she may be drawing on that experience. Three years is a long enough time to have all kinds of experiences. FWIW, most of her statements appear rather insincere to me… I sensed a big pile of lies with truth sprinkled, which may make it seem as though she really did experience all of the things she is claiming.

When it comes to his apologies, abusers are very good at making their victims feel it is their fault. I am a victim of DV and for years I blamed myself and apologized constantly.

They were arguing and she came in there and crawled into the bed with my brother, sister and I. Then he comes in there and dragged her out of the bed and into the bathroom and began to beating the hell out of her and began screaming for me to go get the police. At the time we lived a block or two from them. I hopped up and ran for the door and was halfway across the floor when he shouted if I moved he would kill me. I was frozen to the spot. I regret to this day that I did n ot go getm y mom help because it wasnt long after that, that he got mad at her for something else and shot her and she still carries the bullet in her to this day.

excellent video, as always, Spidey. I am a psychologist and I have worked with survivors of abuse, but also with people who pretend to be victims of "life", who are always whining and complaining about everything, they act "like crying" but they don't actually cry, they are like "sad" but they are not actually sad. AH acts in the same way, and you have explained it perfectly. And it's true, they have had, in fact, a very toxic relationship. But I guess she is great to push your buttons, specially those of someone that has suffered abuse during his childhood. Also, in the messages when he is apologizing, it's strange her lack of response, only "i love you", "i miss you", she is not engaging in a real conversation, she is not wasting her time texting to him, using more words. Only beautiful, universal phrases, very stereotyped and short, and she is not apologizing! Usually victims are the ones that apologize. And in a functional couple, after a disagreement both of them apologize, in a sincere way. Anyway, sorry for my bad English.

You do your best not to antagonize them, so they leave you alone. She's lying and hurting so many victims of true abuse. She's disgusting.

[@rars0n]

Johnny's text apologies are interesting. There's a certain... vibe to them that really resonate with me. Having grown up with a physically abusive mother, I was very close to her at a young age (5 or 6) only to go in the exact opposite direction during my teenage years as we began to yell and scream at each other more frequently. I think I was about 16 or 17 when my mom tried to hit me in the face and I had finally had enough of it. I reached up and grabbed her hand and stopped it in its tracks. The look on her face was unforgettable. For the first time in my life she looked truly frightened. In that moment, she realized that not only was I now stronger than her, but I wasn't going to let her hit me anymore. That day was a turning point. From then on, she stopped being physically abusive, and mostly stopped yelling altogether. All that aggression that had plagued my childhood seemed to have finally worn her out. My siblings thought that she had changed and became a better person, even if they had no idea why that was the case. The truth is that my mom was forced to find a different way about going about things. The aggression was replaced with passive-aggressiveness. Now, SHE was the victim. She would make sure to say the meanest things in the most polite way so that any resistance to them whatsoever, even if it were just a rational statement of disagreement, was somehow a personal attack on her. If she was being incredibly rude and insulting by giving advice that no one asked for, well you couldn't be mad at her because she was just trying to help! It took me a long time to realize that the best way to deal with this stuff was to ignore it completely. I cannot argue with my mother because I will never win, even if it's just to point out a minor thing she misspoke about. I have to just let it pass by me like I didn't even notice. The reason why I bring all this up is because I've found myself in countless situations where I've reacted a bit too strongly in a situation, only to feel badly about it after a small amount of stewing time. Because of all these interactions with my mom, and it always being MY fault no matter how correct I might have been and how wrong she may have been, and it being MY responsibility to be the bigger person, apologize, and accept the blame, I found myself getting into this habit of apologizing for every conflict I ever participated in. That is, if I had an argument with someone and we parted ways being mad at each other, within a few hours I was ready to apologize to them for everything I did or said and tell them that they were absolutely right, no matter what the argument, especially if it was someone I deeply cared about. I would always exaggerate in my head the severity of my most negative responses and minimize the other person's role in raising the tension level of the conflict until I was so upset over the strife that *I* caused that I *had* to profusely apologize. Even if they continued to stay mad at me, I just couldn't leave the situation as it was without at least attempting to apologize for my part. I'm not saying this to excuse Johnny's behavior or to say that he did nothing wrong, but these texts read to me like a lot of text messages I've sent to various people, especially if I had an argument the night before while being drunk. Him saying things like "you're absolutely right," in bold letters no less, really remind me of myself when I felt distraught over the thought of having possibly negatively impacted an important relationship because I got a little bit too carried away in the moment about an ultimately meaningless argument for a brief period of time. It just feels a lot to me like someone who is used to being the one who has to extend the olive branch and make amends after a conflict, like we're our own impartial arbitrator of our personal disputes because no one else is willing to step up. When this happens with an abusive person, it often takes the most profuse apologies to even open a channel of communication, while with everyone else, it's usually immediately met with a "no big deal, I'm sorry, too" type of reply.

You see, there's indication that JD was verbally abusive, even if he was not..his comment may have easily offended AH's self-esteem, which then AH reacts, and JD reacts, scream and yell at each other. Yup..endless cycles.. But hey, it's just a film theory.

I just noticed, and I've watched this same testimony multiple times, that she's not wearing mascara or eyeliner here. Her eye makeup is very light, just some natural looking eyeshadow. She'd been wearing both mascara and eyeliner every day until this one. I'm not one to speculate but we know at this point that everything this woman does is calculated and has a reason. Mascara and eyeliner would smudge while tears are being shed, even if using waterproof formulas because of dabbing and rubbing, and would make it obvious that someone is or was recently crying. If she knew ahead of time (and she obviously did) that she wouldn't be able to cry on the witness stand and that her makeup would reveal this, it is entirely plausible that she chose to forego these products altogether as a way to further conceal her deceit. And it would also give her an excuse if questioned about it because, knowing that she might cry during her testimony, she can say that she chose not to wear eye makeup. I swear this bitch.

[@InvisibleRen]

I remember the day I slapped my mom after she yanked me by the hair. Next thing I knew, I was on the ground curled into a ball and my dad was either kicking or hitting me, saying not to put my hands on his wife. I honestly don’t remember thinking “I’m going to die” or “I’m going to get hurt” though my body obviously had that reaction as I was curled up protecting my head. Maybe I did think those things. I DO remember that strong feeling (whether immediately after or during) of “I have no place to belong.” I was utterly alone. So I get that hierarchy of needs but I don’t think it’s strange to have those types of thoughts in such a situation. Not saying this in defense of Amber herself, but in defense of that type of “higher need” reaction from an abuse survivor.

[@InvisibleRen]

I believe some people who are used to abuse and have an extreme level of unfulfilled higher needs will go to that place during violence. Especially if you’re in an environment where your other lower needs are usually met. Food and shelter was/is never an issue. It’s those higher needs you’ve been stripped of since you were little. So it’s those ones that are glaring and going off like sirens when you’re under attack by someone close who is supposed to be helping you meet those higher needs. Again, not saying this to make a case for Amber’s testimony but on behalf of other abuse survivors.

[@janmarieneverdosky1347]

@@InvisibleRen I just want to say that, in your situation, your thought of having "no place to belong" is a very likely combination of the first three base tiers of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. As a child you literally depend on your parents to provide your physiological needs, your safety needs, and your needs for love and belonging. Their mutual abuse dissolved your security in having any of those needs met starting with their destruction of the family and connection between the parent and the child. It makes perfect sense for that to be something you would think in your specific situation... "I have no place to belong"... "I have no where else to go"... "I am not safe here"... "how can I survive without them"... This is not the same as being "embarrassed" because your friends witnessed your abuse as AH claimed. Your thoughts were 100% consistent with what was happening to you. Her claim is easier to question but also possible... every mind is different, every experience is experienced differently.

[@Amelia_Rose_333]

26:24 - 26:28 : “I don’t know if he had let go of my neck, uh, or loosened MY grip.” Another HUGE slip up of Amber that wasn’t caught in this video. She, again, slips up and hints that she was the one with the grip on him and not the other way around. Someone online edited together how many times Amber uses “I remember” at the start of her sentences. It happens so many times that it’s almost comical. If someone is recalling their story I would expect them to say “This happened, then this happened, then this.” OR, “I don’t remember everything due to blocking it out.” She starts almost every single sentence (especially after being asked a question) with “uh, I remember…” “I rememeber” “I DO rememeber.” This, to me, sounds a lot like someone who is trying to recall a script or story rather than truly recalling an event. Even if someone said “I remember” while recalling, I would think she would say it quietly and meekly because she would not want to remember these events, but she emphasizes it to ENSURE us over and over again that she remembers it correctly and not to challenge her. Kinda the same idea as saying “honestly” or “sincerely” as you pointed out. I also wanted to point out that in JD’s apology letters: when he mentions “the monster” we know from him and Amber that that is talking about his addiction. It is not uncommon for someone who’s abused to apologize because they’ve been broken down to think it’s their fault or something they’ve done to cause the abuse happening to them. Also, apologizing for setting her off isn’t really a fair thing to look at because he testified that him taking his own boots off would set her off. Him trying to leave the room to escape her abuse would set her off. Him trying to explain to her why he would ‘leave’ in those moments would set her off. If he didn’t compliment her right, that would set her off. I don’t think JD is a saint and We know he said some not very nice things, but I’m sure there were times he didn’t want to put up with her abuse anymore. I’m sure that the more wasted he got (to escape her and his situation with her) he would be less willing to accept it and be more angry at her about what she was doing to him and probably wanted to throw some mean words at her to hurt her, as she had been hurting him. Just some perspective. Not justifying his behavior in those moments, but trying to understand why he would get that way.

It's also inhumanely possible to hold a frown for that long lol, plus, victims who've deviated from the abuse for 5 or so years tend to be less in shock of the abuse. Rather they've become stoic by that point, and perhaps some may be in shock for remembering those repressed memories, but most definitely would've acted and talked like Johnny. Just quiet mumbling for mentioning the ugly parts, pauses where it makes sense, like actually trying to remember the important parts and not some tiny ass details, and some laughs and smiles here and there, because remembering how fucked up those memories were makes you feel a sense of twisted relief and exhaustion. Also, compare Amber's attitude to the UK trial and this one. Attitude drastically changes, and you'd think that the attitudes were supposed to be switched.

Omg I felt as if she were writing/reading a novel. “He shoved me and I landed HARD on the cold white tile, as I lay there I couldn’t help but notice how filthy the floor was, was my husband right? Am I not a good mother/housewife? I begged him to stop as I heaved a heavy sigh, knowing that the man that I once knew and loved wasn’t there.. his eyes were black, like the deep abyss of nothingness, not the man I fell in love with! NOOOOO!” Lol the end!

[@PuzzlesC4M]

I learned some things about my son with autism from this video! He does a lot of eye flickering and long heavy blinks when he doesn’t want to do something or be somewhere. But you said these are signs of stress, and that totally makes sense for him. I will be on the lookout for this now, not as signs of deception, but to gauge his stress levels. Very cool!

[@roweme]

I worked for 2 1/2 years with an autistic lad and he'd eye flicker too if he was asked to do something he didn't want/like (some work or change in activity) It was always a warning sign to me he needed support to co-regulate and calm down before anything else, because he felt anxious/stressed.

[@wildflower1397]

I saw a video where somebody called those 'Rumblings'. They said they are the first tiny signs in someone with autism that a storm is coming. People who learn to recognize their own rumblings and react can prevent going into overload. They said that whenever they or their partner notice rumblings, they go to a quieter or darker place, hug their stuffed animals, put on a soft fluffy blanket or coat, play with their favorite stim toys, etc. Apparently it is enough that don't go into meltdown nearly as much now. My daughter has autism, and I wish I could figure out what hers are so I wouldn't trigger her unknowingly with too much stimulation or sensory input. It's awesome that you figured some of his out! 🥳

[@lesleykruijt8580]

When Amber gave all the extra details on how the carpet smelled and felt, it made me think of Dr. Curry who tested her for PTSD and said she doesn't have it. I believe she said that Amber couldn't give the details PTSD clients usually give, such as smells and sensations. It (the story of the carpet) was at the beginning of her testimony, or at least the first day, so maybe she wanted to include those details to convince the jury that she ACTUALLY does remember the PTSD-traumatic-sensory-details

[@tracythompson8731]

Good point

[@krystinaxxlea]

💯

[@bleachlowery295]

Yep

[@EdenAzuria]

I for one have PTSD, and can vividly remember everything that happened in the moment that caused it. I can recall the time of year and like the weather at the time of the event, but a good majority of the memory was in the deep emotion and fear of the situation. I do remember a lot of the events that led up to the moment and much more after. Like where I was walking and what I was wearing, and why I was there. I remember a great deal about the event because of the impact it had on my life. I've delt with it for years and it's not something easy to get over. The problem with Amber's testimony is the over the top trying to produce a tear to sell it. If she was telling a truthful story about the most painful time of her life, she would not have to force herself to tears AND not produce a single genuine tear for the record. I relive the pain and emotions like it happened just minutes ago when I try to tell the story to someone. I don't have to pretend or go over the top to sell the story, because it's just too real for me. It's something that lives in my nightmares ya know, keeps me up at night. Causes my heart to sink just at the thought of it.

[@AnandaSea]

Yes. When you're in fear actually, you don't remember the dam floor. You remember things that are way more important.

[@BitHappyy]

Excellent analysis! One thing I wanted to add just when you said around 37:45 that Johnny was repeatedly sending harsh text messages without her responding; I believe we actually don't have any of her text messages at all. So she could have been saying awful things in between those and all we get to see are his messages that were "leaked" (probably stolen by amber heard because where the hell else would they have come from)

[@psychologicalprojectionist]

I really detest the way she has implied that Johnny was guilty of inappropriate sexual behavior in the early days of their relationship. How did she find herself in a towel in his trailer with a bottle of wine? That was obviously her being professional!

[@diaelamiri3427]

As an "empath", I literally cried in the last video when Johnny was testifying. I don't know neither Johnny nor Amber before so I don't think I'm being biased here. But Johnny really seemed genuinely sad, humiliated, and small when he was talking. I could tell his emotions where honest and he truly was feeling so wronged and in deep agony. With Amber, however, I couldn't even complete watching the clip. It was that cringe. I could tell it's acting, and a bad one btw.

[@anabel2anabel]

Yes!! I didn’t even know what was going on till the first day of Jhonny’s testimony. I was like “why is Johnny in court??” Then I started listening to him and I’ll be honest here… I was annoyed by how he was slowly talking. But as I kept listening to him and learning about the case, I truly became interested in what he was saying and that annoyance I was feeling about him talking disappeared. With Amber in the other hand, I was looking forward to hear her but soon I became totally disgusted by everything she was saying and how she was saying that I just can’t hear her for too long.

[@diaelamiri3427]

@@anabel2anabel yes, exactly right ?

[@OwnedByKitties]

As an empath also, with Johnny I felt he was sincere. I could feel the sadness & humiliation, I felt that he truly went through a horribly traumatic time and I felt so bad for him and still feel bad for him as he relives it all in this trial. With Amber, I did watch the whole thing but felt nothing except like I was watching a bad Lifetime movie. I couldn’t feel for her at all. I’ve had enough liars in my life that I’ve learned if what they are saying doesn’t make sense, they are probably lying. She didn’t make a lot of sense to me. That’s all I got from her testimony, that she’s spinning tales in a very theatric way. I also looked at all the other evidence which doesn’t support her story, she has no proof but her say so. Their recorded talks (or arguing) I listened to and I couldn’t help feel for him. When you look at everything, Johnny has all the characteristics of the abused in the relationship, while she has all the characteristics of the abuser. Her constant complaints that he leaves arguments. An abuser doesn’t walk away because they have all the power. The abused will try to exit. She talks to him with no fear, and while Johnny sometimes could get mouthy at times, he did spend time placating her too. Abusers placate to nothing. She could sometimes take responsibility for something she did but then ruin it with he made her do it. He kept saying that he just wants peace, whereas she always wants to fight it out. He doesn’t want physical altercations because he didn’t want to snap on her so he would have to either leave or lock himself in bathrooms. That only pissed her off more but he was smart for doing it. She doesn’t come off as the abused at all. I once had a husband who had what I called a “rage” button. He wasn’t abusive, but if I said something in just the right snarky way he would get very angry, so I walked on eggshells because I didn’t want to piss him off too much and he wasn’t even going to hit me. If I had talked to him the way Amber talks to Johnny, there would have been WWIII. I’m supposed to believe she acted that way to an ABUSER? Nah, I just am not buying it. Not to mention her seeking him out when she had a TRO on him, trying to get back with him. During divorce proceedings that he wasn’t fighting against? It’s painfully obvious to me she just wanted to ruin his life. She probably also thought during the “Me Too” movement she could get sympathy and support, maybe even more work while he was getting nothing in the way of work.

[@karens_9234]

Also an empath, I definitely resonated with @The Behavioral Arts at 35:38 when he suspects that empaths won't "feel" anything from certain parts of Amber Heard's testimony. YES! Not only did I not feel any empathy or sympathy while listening to her testimony, I had to turn it off; it made me sick. But I've been torn, because while I have the opinion that she is lying and can't even listen to her testimony, her legal team does provide texts and sound clips that portrays JD as emotionally abusive. The whole relationship seemed like a total train wreck....

[@vicnick6430]

@@karens_9234 Every human has their breaking point and I feel & while JD is no saint...he was provoked, hounded & abused for years, until he reacted and yes this may have manifested in either test and verbal....But as the abused, remember that in text he can 'spill" his feelings without being attacked...its really the only time he has a full voice and of course the pent up venom comes out..... I have been in his exact same shoes and repeat a human being can only take so much (also this type of person 'Amber type', can make you feel that you are going insane). I too am an empath and felt for JD in his testimony, but with Amber I felt only disbelief, whereas up until this trail I believed the lies :(

[@kathryncainmadsen5850]

When she does that story about not seeing Depp in his eyes, I felt overwhelming disgust. I literally reared back and turned away. I was empathetic in a weird way. I felt horrified at how humiliating for her to be lying SO BADLY and over the top. My friend calls it the "dumb chills." Like watching someone singing in a show and being the world's worst flat and sharp pitched overacting singer. You cringe because the notes are wrong AND because they person is making a fool out of themselves. Make it stop!

[@laughwliz]

Omg I felt the same way! Like I was watching a movie where she's playing the role of a someone being pursued by a ghost/monster. Very over the top, dramatic, borderline hysteria. Like yeah, I emphasized with that fear right in that moment, but then not even a second later after she finished her story, it just completely dissipated as if a director yelled "CUT" in the back. Really weird, like you said.

[@dalnim4294]

I’m normally so empathetic towards people, but her stories just repulse me. It’s SO clear that she is lying. I just get uncomfortable listening, even nauseated because she’s lying about such things. Dr. Curry’s histrionic diagnosis is so spot on with her.

[@carlcurrie1]

I don’t ever respond or write responses to these sort of things, BUT today I felt compelled to do so. I thought it was AMAZING when the behavioral analyst stated that there were a number of empaths watching his vids, and as he went onto describe the scene of her crying, I was certain that he was going to say that this was the one time that these people would be able to relate to her. As I’m thinking 10 steps ahead of his speaking, I said to myself “I didn’t feel a thing,” and was utterly surprised when he went on to state that he was certain that he was we were unable to relate to her or feel anything. He was totally correct. I felt nothing and I am super sensitive and easily relatable to others pains and grief, but not in this situation AT ALL.

I know what it's like for me, I never ever use the surnames of my abusive exes.

If I were to appear in court I would also say Mr. ... ; a name I never called him/them when I was in the relationship so I could distance myself from him/them and be less emotional. I would also never look them in the eye again because they just want to get a reaction from you.

I have a longtime friend who had the same name as my ex, and although it was his middle name, he preferred to use that name. We used to call them _____#1 and ______#2. When my ex husband and I separated, I started calling my friend by his 1st name. Only his mother ever called him that. Now my whole family does...

38:00 I truly believe that all the pictures of the writing and broken things left by Johnny, to me show that he would direct his energy to THOSE things rather than directing physical energy against Amber.
