Johnny Depp: Amber Heard refused to give meds during detox | LiveNOW from FOX

[@chenonceau7342]

For the people who wonders why JD smiles while recounting all these bad memories, it is because he is anxious and nervous. Many people smile or laugh when they tell their bad stories because that’s a coping mechanism to prevent themselves from crying. That’s my way too when I get anxious, scared and nervous. It is obvious that amber heard is an abuser (she abused him emotionally, mentally, physically, financially , etc)

[@sharonburke100]

It's called Duper's Delight.

[@janicem9225]

I do the same thing and always have, especially due to childhood and adult trauma. It's just a part of coping with bad things. That's also what first responders often do, when recounting something traumatic.

[@dwaynemasters5215]

Absolutely agree

My psychotherapist (who was a consultant with 40 years of experience) genuinely believed that smiling meant you found it funny rather than it being a coping mechanism. People are insane lol.

[@anaalfarra3138]

Yes, she's the abuser and enjoyed it. Poor Johnny Depp, pity he didn't kick her to the corner long before the abuse went to extremes. He'd been abused by his mother, so in real life it's easy for women like her to control and abuse a vitctim again, she saw his weak points and went for the kill!

You have NO IDEA!!! I was prescribed 80mg/day of oxycontin/oxycodone, my husband was taking ever more. 3 years after this 'treatment' began, he attempted suicide (almost succeeded). We were seeing the same Pain Management Doctor, who decided he didn't want to see either of us again... no step-down, no rehab, no help getting off these horrible meds. It took me 3 weeks of throwing up, diarrhea, skin crawling, and just feeling like crap all over. _This was the 1st time I had felt any of my nerves for 3 years - imagine ALL of your nerves firing at the same time - and everyone of them were just SCREAMING!!_ Both inside and outside your body, and there was nothing you could do!! [I like how Depp described it as 'electricity,' I never thought of that, but I know EXACTLY what he's referring to]. Good job at getting off that poison Johnny!! I would not wish this on my worst enemy!! NEVER, NEVER start these drugs - if you must (for a surgery etc) use the lowest amount you can, and ween down as quickly as possible. Trust me, you'll thank me later!!

[@rebeccagraham3462]

Also opiates dont make you violent. Maybe it differs for each person and what exactly the opiate IS. But I can say from experience that opiate pills never made me angry. They made me feel elated and happy and more social... unfortunately. That's the devil in them. I wish they wouldve made me angry. I wouldnt have taken them..

[@Navygrl58]

As a nurse for over 35 years I’ve pretty much seen everything and I too have dealt with patients withdrawing from heroin and opioids and alcohol addiction, especially alcohol withdrawals which can be fatal if not done properly, it is one horrible heart wrenching experience and as a nurse or even a person with a loving kind human nature you would naturally want to do everything to reach out and help that person. It is appalling to me that this woman would stand there chopping vegetables telling her husband who is suffering and pleading in front of her that it’s not time yet? If what Mr. Depp says is true, and I assume he is telling the truth, then there is something very wrong with this woman far beyond just being mean and uncaring, there’s something wrong with any individual who would not be moved in such a situation just from sheer panic and helplessness, it’s just human nature to want to ease the suffering of another human being, especially your loved one. If she was confused about the time being too early to give the medication she should have contacted immediately the nurse or the doctor and asked “what should I do, he’s suffering,” but it doesn’t seem that she did that according to what was described in the court proceedings at least. When Mr. Depp described the shower scene he was spot on. When the human body is going through withdrawals the nervous system kicks in and the immense pain emotionally, mentally, but especially physically, is overwhelming, so when he described the shower scene I believed him right away because what he was doing was redirecting the pain to a different part of the body. Mr. Depp was correct when explaining how the brain considers the dependency on the drugs as “normal” after awhile and when it’s deprived of that substance the brain will send out warning signals to the rest of the body to “feed” that addiction to re-program the brain and reset it back to its “fake normal” state just to function again, there is no euphoria from the drugs anymore, that disappears after a certain amount of time if the person stays on the same dose, the drug is needed just to bring the brain and bodily functions back to what the brain considers normal. It’s a horrible cycle and a horrible trap that drugs can enclose you in. Those warning signs present themselves in the unbearable withdrawal symptoms Mr Depp was explaining. When you’re going through chemical withdrawal and you cannot get anything to release that physical pain you do what you have to do to get the brain and central nervous system to redirect the agony to a different part of your body, it’s only temporary but the sympathetic nervous system, the flight or fight mechanism of the human body, will kick in to do anything to get away from that withdrawal. And if this woman really just stood there and let him go through that she needs psychiatric help. That tells me a lot. None of us were there so I don’t think any of us will ever really know the truth I just hope that at the end of all of this these two people can go about their lives and find some peace and normalcy and not destroy each other anymore than they already have.

[@jenniealarid1421]

That is gut wrenching. I was imagining people detoxing in prison when he was talking about that, idk why. I know people are not taken care of in jail and i can’t imagine the pain. So sad

[@meaningoftheunicorn]

That she didn't give meds before schedule (especially if they were controlled) actually strikes me as one of the least abusive things she's done. Even if it's just Ibuprofen, there's still a risk of toxicity... But good point that she could have at least tried to call the medical team.

[@nickelandimed]

This in my opinion is the most heartbreaking story of the entire trial - a wife's total lack of compassion for her husband when he's at the lowest point of his life. What Amber did was not only heartless, but proves that she's an emotional abuser as well as a physical one. Johnny had to beg her to be allowed to finish the detox program on his own. Let that sink in. When Johnny tried to communicate what he needed in order to succeed in the detox, she made it about HER. I can't wrap my head around how she classified denying him medication and perpetuating his suffering to feed her desire for control and self-aggrandizement as "you don't appreciate all I've done for you." I wish Johnny's sister had been there instead. Christi at least had his best interests at heart, which is obvious by her trying to get him life-saving treatment in the first place, unlike Amber, interestingly enough. All Amber cares about is herself and her image, even when her husband was in desperate need of help. If that's not the textbook definition of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, then I don't know what is. She wasn't there to support him. She had an agenda from day one and when she didn't get her way, out came the histrionics. She only has two settings: psycho and manipulator. Rotten to the core.

[@Liz-in8lu]

1000%!!! Finally someone said it for what it truly is! It is when you need them that narcisissists show who they really are: zero care for others, but worse Amber clearly enjoyed harming him!! That's sociopathic narcissism. Her abuse is calculated, trying to destroy him. Her motive is control and to dominate: Sociopathy. She's 100% a malignant narcissist.

@BumbleBee she probably wanted him to relapse to keep him medicated. That way it'd be easier for her to manipulate and control him.

In short: I’m still healing, but I’m safe and I’m happy! *Background info for anyone curious* Oh boy I only intended to give you a short summary but I got carried away 😭 I have a tendency to ramble and I’m sure none of this makes sense. Sorry for any spelling/ grammar mistakes! ** I use they/them pronouns for amber #2 cause they literally trained me to lie about their gender as “a joke” and I didn’t notice till I read everything back. His pronouns are actually he/him!!! I’ve actually had two unfortunately. I was very young the first time and suffered because of amber #1 for a long time in silence until amber #2 came along and I realized for the first time that I could have freedom outside of that first relationship. The thing is, I knew I was just going down the same path of trusting someone who didn’t have my best interests at heart (amber #1 and #2 were actually “best friends” for a while and left me in the dust until things turned sour for them and #2 came to me and hyped me up all while saying #1 never actually liked me and they were using me. I thought I was being careful with #2 and I kept most of my secrets and true feelings to myself because I noticed they talked about their other friends horribly. But I really thought they just had “some anger issues” and I was their safe person to vent and they weren’t actually “like that” I also felt like I’d be a hypocrite for judging them since I talked about amber #1 horribly with them. The first thing that made me realize they didn’t like me that much was when they used to “play fight” with me and would choke me and try to pin me down. At this point we were in our late teens early twenties 😭 we had no reason to play like that 😂 but I honestly never felt afraid until they full strength like kneed me in the stomach and I got the wind knocked out of me. And they weren’t sorry at all and they just mocked me saying “I can tell you didn’t grow up with brothers blah blah” and they started to be more aggressive when we “played” like that. But I started to get more aggressive with them after that and they realized that because In my head we were “playing” I was always holding back but if I didn’t… I was actually quite a bit stronger than they thought and all of a sudden they never wanted to “play” like that again. I ignored all the red flags waving in my face because I missed them terribly after leaving for college for two years and I really just thought they had some issues, but they were going to therapy and everything would work out, so I suggested that they could come live with me. Then we moved in together and I thought it would be so fun. We had made all these plans and I pulled all these strings so they could live with me (my college apartment was supposed to be single gender but I convinced res life to let them live with me since I had like 4 empty bedrooms 😭 Literally everything went downhill. They just… changed. They just started being so cruel to me. They made fun of my weight and appearance. They took videos of me and showed me to their “friends” without my permission. They tried to convince my friends to exclude me from things and it all built up until I made an angry post on my social media 😩 it was a screenshot of something they sent to me that hurt my feelings. They literally went to my friend to see it cause I blocked them since they told me “You just post depressing stuff and nobody wants to see it” They then broke down my bedroom door after I told them I was upset and needed some time to think before I talked to them. My other roommate managed to pull them away and after that for 2 months they ignored me and blocked me on everything… while trying to poison me. They tampered with my food and stole and destroyed my property. And I watch enough true crime to know that no matter what I needed to tell somebody what was going on. For weeks I insisted I didn’t need any sort of “emergency” help (I was so dumb) cause I was convinced they were just having an rough time and things would go back to “normal”. Then things just got worse and worse and I was getting sick and losing weight and got diagnosed with adhd and started meds on top of all that and I couldn’t take it anymore and I finally allowed a chaperoned meeting. At that meeting he berated me and cursed at me while I just sat there. Right at the end I finally yelled back at him and he left and I felt so awful I just broke down but the counselors were so sweet and helped me. The harassment continued until I tried to file a report for theft on the heavy insistence of a family member to do so. The officer told me that amber #2 actually didn’t have a right to remain in my apartment after he contacted the resident director of my building and got a team and literally moved amber #2 out that day. Amber #2 broke in one time 🙃 but after that I didn’t hear from him again. There’s no way to really explain how much I cared about them and loved them before they changed. They were my best friend in the whole world, I invited them to my house for Christmas and thanksgiving. In my culture that’s huge!!! My mom adored them. And they just… hated me. The whole time.

I actually heard the tapes and immediately said I think she’s borderline! And then we discovered she was. With the one I know, she will go after kids sadly. Most people won’t stoop that low. They understand kids are kids and should be off limits. But it’s like opposite thinking with this person. She sees them as easier to target because they won’t pick up on things an adult would. I could write so much on this, but just know that not all people are wired the same, and some genuinely don’t care if they hurt people. So it’s so important to protect yourself. One thing she does is tries to get really close with people quickly and gets them to divulge secrets, then gets paranoid (it’s part of the disorder) and tries to ruin that person before they think they’ll leave them. They’re always trying to stay one step ahead, but when they hurt they don’t operate normally. They try to literally destroy you and try to hurt you in whatever way they think would hurt you most. They are ruthless even moreover, wreckless. They never think about the consequences of their actions. Like accuse someone of molesting because they got mad about something and then be confused why the person freaks out. It’s so much more complicated than that, but you get the idea. Boundaries and don’t let people in who don’t deserve it.

Opioid withdrawal is not life threatening whatsoever. The risks pale in comparison to benzodiazepine or alcohol withdrawal. The only possible way to die from opioid withdrawal is if you keep vomiting or having diarrhea to the point where you become dehydrated.

I myself have had to go through detox; my story is a bit different; I became dependent due to having cancer. Chemotherapy treatments are absolutely terrible: so of course my Doctors wanted to keep me comfortable, well when one pill would stop working, they’d try another, stronger; and your body becomes used to those pills; and without even knowing, or even abusing- you become dependent; never on purpose, but you need those medications to help get you through the pain of cancer and all the side effects of the chemo. Nobody wakes up on morning and decides to become addicted to prescription medications, it doesn’t work that way- So, to not only suffer from whatever reason you’re placed on them, but to then suffer to get off of them; while being abused… It is so heartbreaking, it’s dehumanizing, it’s disgusting and it’s mean!

I’ve never touched any other drugs, only ones I’m prescribed. This likely happens often. The pain of withdrawal is indescribable. Hearing him recall that time brought up some horrible memories for me. I can’t imagine another human being seeing that and refusing to help. Absolutely inhumane!

this is more than disgusting. People who have never experienced this kind of pain can't even imagine how horrible it is. like he said, it's nothing i've ever felt before.. you feel like a prisoner in your own body and you can't leave, the only way out are those meds or heroine or whatever you're on and it's the worst feeling in the world. it's more than disgusting, it's pure cruelty to do that to someone else knowing they need it. nothing else can help you in that moment. that amber did that shows how cruel she really is and how she liked it being in control and having him suffer, she probably loved it when he had to beg for his meds, she enjoyed it. if you love someone really, you couldn't see them in such pain and you would give them their meds. this is nothing someone who loves someone else would do.

[@jedidaforce2595]

I’ve broken 16 bones, been stabbed, dealt with the pain of having my appendix burst, and broke my back in an accident, but none of those come close to the pain of fentanyl withdrawals. Johnny Depp gave an accurate description of opiate withdrawals, and that’s with him being a millionaire with a personal medical staff. There’s nothing worse than going through withdrawals and not having anyone around to help, or any meds to contain the withdrawals. I begged my girlfriend to just kill me because the withdrawals were so bad… and those were just from stopping the fentanyl patches. I ended up doing a 3 month course of methadone, and now I’ve been clean for 3 years. I know a lot of people don’t like methadone because it’s still a narcotic, but it saved my life and could do the same for anyone else. Even if you’re a hardcore addict and have to stay on methadone long-term, it’s still better than street drugs and being addicted to prescription opiates. You drink your dose once a day and live your life.

[@shireeknightly9608]

I was given methadone as a chronic pain reliever after many unsuccessful hip replacements and revisions. Unfortunately, the methadone caused a change in my mental state. It had been doing that for the eight years I was on it. But I didn't know. My family knew though. The angry outbursts and manipulative behavior I displayed caused a deep rift between family and myself. I was denied access to my grandchildren for obvious reasons and had little contact with my children. Still I didn't realize the change and could not understand why they were so hard on me. One day after a particularly unpleasant altercation with my son and the usual weeks of silence in between, my son came to me and explained how they were affected by my behavior. They had noticed me changing from not long after I began taking methadone. He also told me that they couldn't take it anymore. I had to get help. Brought me to tears when I realized how right he was. Anyways, I decided to stop taking the methadone. I knew it wouldn't be easy so I devised a plan of slow withdrawal over 16 weeks lowering my dose every 2 weeks by half. I didn't tell my doctor or my family. Just shut up my house, curtains closed and got on with it. It wasn't fun but the motivation of getting back to family was strong and I dealt with the withdrawals by praying, reading my Bible and watching TV. I ached, I vomited, I cried, I slept waking up drenched in sweat and so very cold, even though it was summer. But I did it and now I am free from opiates too. I went to my doctor and she changed me to a non opiate pain reliever which helps. I will never allow another opiate in my body again. It just isn't worth it. Some say I shouldn't have had a reaction like I had to methadone but we are all different. I know it was that affecting me and it has been confirmed by my actions now. I have my family back. But mostly I have me back. Johnny Depp lives his life in public and I can only imagine how hard it is to bare his soul like he has. He is brave, courageous, and so deeply honest about what he went through. We can see how affected he has been by the drugs. But to go through withdrawals and be denied what has been specifically prescribed to get him through, is the highest form of degradation. She took what position she had and used it for enjoyment and power. There is a special place in hell for people like her.

Just listening to him recall his withdrawal experience made my legs twitch & my stomach turn. I used the same exact nerve trickery at the rehab I went to where I was lucky enough to have my own bathtub. I'd run the hot water without ever touching the cold water tap and, whenever the water temperature would get too low, I'd let some of it out & run the hot water again full blast to heat it back up. I'd do this until either the hot water ran out or my attendant would have to force me to me to get out so I wouldn't boil myself alive. The reason I even had to have an attendant with me was because the first time I'd used this method to deal with my withdrawal I fell asleep in the water and woke up with a 103.2 degree fever. Absolute worst, most horrendous excruciatingly painful physical & mental nightmare I've ever experienced. There are no words in any language on earth that can be put together to make someone who's never felt it themselves truly understand what it was really like. It literally changes your soul.

I’ve been through heroin withdrawal many times. More than I care to admit. Those were the darkest, most awful, lonely, hellish times of my life.

People always talk about the physical pain, but the psychological torture, the depression and anxiety, the irrational, intrusive thoughts that this feeling is never going to go away, and the worst part is that you did this to yourself, and it’s all your own fault. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, and definitely not someone as kind and sweet as JD is. He did not deserve this. I guarantee this experience was like psychological torture for him. She is evil.

It is strange and I totally sympathesize with what Mr. Depp had to go through. Being on top of the world as he was, and you can see how all this in his life has affected him cognitively, trying to come back to reality, and deal with the ups and downs of life, fame and going through the drug withdrawal, all while dealing with a vicious, self serving wife. He clearly would have been better off with his sister during this time. But, the persistence of his wife to control him, and to control the situation, is astounding to hear. One can see the honesty and deep thought in his words, while stammering to get through it. But, if you look at society, I wonder if our society would have felt the same if the person was black. I noticed how people actually mocked Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson during this time, which I'm sure contributed to their deaths. I wonder if either one of them would still be here if they had the same societal sympathy. I know some people will hate on me for saying this, but as a black man, I have to say it. I also have to say that regardless, I do sympathesize with what Mr. Depp had to go through. We all get caught up in bad situations, bad choices, and circumstances, and it isn't based on a persons skin color. I wish the rest of the world would understand that, and I'm sure that the world would be a better place as a result. Maybe that understanding and caring would help everyone to understand the societal struggles of people of color, and not just rich, white people. No offense to Mr. Depp and what he had to go through during this time.
