I got a big question that could change the entirety of this whole video. What if Johnny Depp is genuinely really tired and that when answering these questions he is overwhelmed and confused a little?

[@shannond7437]

9:05 I think most of these are Depp finally getting to tell his story & it is important that they know about his tolerance. All of his answers (not just in this questioning) show that his drug use, drinking, & inexplicable stress from Amber are delayed and not clear cut answers that most would give. This is both good and bad for him.

[@levitatestudent]

Johnny has contempt no doubt for the phrase "wife beater" because a UK newspaper put that in a headline and he tried to sue them (but lost).

[@ceeelle9672]

One thing I hope his lawyer will bring up. Fact: no guitarist would ever damage their own finger. Quite the opposite. We protect our hands more than the average person. Drove me crazy that Rottenborn kept saying he cut off his own finger.

Happy to finally see this comment! Totally thinking the same thing.. Knowing this to be true! He's an Artist! Many musicians have had troubled childhoods, diving into the music, having a creative outlet for expression is what saved them. And many became great artists because such sensitive souls🎶🎸

[@ceeelle9672]

Exactly. To not be able to play guitar is a scary thing. Or any instrument. Even when I sleep, I keep my hands tucked close to me so hubby doesn’t accidentally roll onto them. Every musician I know feels this way. Losing the ability to play would be a tragic loss.

[@alisonanthony1228]

I completely agree and have thought this for a long time. No guitarist would ever damage their own hands. It's unthinkable!

[@hannuback]

Oh yeah, I've had 12 stiches on my middle finger after I climbed over a fence and coming down the ring on my finger got caught on the fence and broke, cutting my finger. I'm never wearing rings again! Luckily the finger healed alright, but it was a turning point in my life when I decided that I will start practising seriously while I still can. I can't even imagine hurting my hands voluntarily.

He was burnt on the face, had his finger chopped off, endured many surgeries, got kicked out of his own home, and he's the abusive one? Amber Heard should be in prison.

It's not that people are just sticking up for Johnny because he's a better actor, more likeable person, has integrity, etc., it's that Amber's personality shines through, and anyone who has seen that bullcrap once will recognize it again.

[@tracymartinson2927]

Note he starts using "you" instead of "I" when describing his experiences. This is evidence of trauma. Its a way to distance yourself from the trauma. Its speaking in third person in a way. He said "When YOU are in a relationship and YOU give YOUR truth to THIS person, its shocking" he is subconsciously making it an abstract or hypothetical statement because it was traumatic. It hurts too much to say "I was in a relationship where I gave her my truth and it was shocking...." I used to do this in therapy. Started using "you" my therapist would stop me and and tell me to use "I" or "me" because I was describing my own experience. For me to accept it, work though it I had to own it as being personal. Not an abstract "when you (meaning anyone) are being abused ....."

[@1985ThePedro]

I still struggle with this part. I'd forgotten my therapist reminding me of that, back when I was going to her. It's just hard for a person to face some stuff head-on. People struggle with that.

@Liz Muschinski hes been through rehab/detox several times.When you have been using as long as he has (since he was 11) its sort of hardwired in, he went through puberty as an addict, his brain probably never developed proper pathways for 'happy hormones' like dopamine so its likely to be harder than for most.

[@mindyhanson4124]

When I heard the testimony about how he welcomed her friends to the point that they actually lived in penthouses right beside them on the same floor and always was very kind to them and getting them whatever they needed and encouraging spending time with Amber, I knew he was not an abuser. Abusers focus on isolating their victims from friends and family so they can have more control and so the abuse won't be noticed. Johnny did the opposite. He opened himself right up. That's not what a wife beater does

[@joeking433]

Anyone can be an abuser with the right woman. Seen it dozens of times! Some girls are just masters at taking a guy who is not violent and making him violent. My brother dated a girl like that. He was always the nicest guy to his girlfriends but not to her. And she did it with other guys that had never been violent with anyone before or after dating her.

I believe that writing with his own blood was a self destructive act. Complete disregard for his physical needs. I believe the injury ripped his soul to shreds. She smiled because she loves that moment of hopelessness. She loves seeing him destroyed.

[@lindacousins9603]

The steaks was cut into pieces and wrapped in her nightie was the blood in the steak used

[@alexanderkreitner8275]

Sorry, just watched this and wasn't aware of the details. This does show the disconnect that happens in the midst of trauma and to use your own blood that way, haphazardly, indicates a sense that you are no longer clinging on to survival, or that (what he seems to be suggesting) writing down and remembering the worst aspects in a moment of clarity is more important for your future survival than whatever blood loss is occurring that you would normally respond to if you felt safer.

[@sarahpiaggio2693]

Yes, that sounds probable. But also someone who isn't quite attached to reality due to drugs and / or alcohol could be prone to doing something like that too. This is why it would have been so much better for him if he'd been able to stay sober so that people wouldn't assume that what was going on was mutual abuse. And he needed all his wits about him with a person like that around him, so taking anything that weakened him either physically or mentally was a big mistake.

[@laurenlaforest]

@Sarah Piaggio it was a big mistake, but often people experiencing trauma treat it by self-medicating, unfortunately... you just want to be numb to the pain and the ugliness around you, from my personal experience

[@_fender_899]

Amber heard is a MONSTER. How can you look at someone like that and SMILE. What a DISGUSTING, GROSS and TERRIBLE human being.

[@amyfu2047]

I think Johnny is ashamed of his drug use that’s why his response is so messed up. As a recovering addict/alcoholic and also a survivor of significant trauma I disliked answering any questions about it because it brought up so much shame.

[@underthegardenwall]

Exactly. There's so much stigmatizing and stereotyping of drug users as automatically violent or toxic, I'd be dodgy and defensiveness as hell too if I knew everybody was going to make me out to be a monster when I really didn't hurt anybody but myself. And Johnny even is upfront in his testimony that he sometimes felt he was letting himself and others down during his recovery, so you can tell he's self-aware and feeling shame about it.

[@dc-v4021]

I felt the same way, the shame he must feel about his drug use.

[@hosie9420]

I was thinking the same thing. You can tell he does not want to talk about it because he is definitely not proud of it. You can see it on his face that he's ashamed. Too many people look at drug addicts as these lowly people, and I have heard people like that say some terrible things that I don't want to repeat because it is awful to say about another human being. I agree Johnny is an introvert despite being a well-known actor. Before Amber, what did people really know about his personal life? Now people are bringing up his personal life, like his drug use and it is for the whole world to see.

[@orchdork775]

Especially since he probably knows that a lot of people think less of those who have struggled with addiction. I imagine he never wanted something so personal to be public knowledge, not just because he is a private person in general, but because it opens him up to criticism, which he may struggle to deal with. Having lawyers try to frame your past drug use as evidence of you being an abusive partner would be extremely triggering for someone who already struggles with self shame due to that drug use. I think a lot of people in recovery for a mental health issue can relate to internalizing the negative opinions that people in their life shared with them, and/or that society has perpetuated. I know that I can! Obviously, this is just speculation based on my own experiences, so I'm not trying to make any claims about what Johny is and isn't feeling. I'm just providing an example of what he "could" be feeling.

As a child, I was physically, emotionally, and mentally abused. From 7 to 16 years old. As an adult, I was in an abusive marriage for 13 years. I can tell you, without a doubt, based on her WORDS ALONE, that she has NEVER, NOT ONCE been abused by Johnny Dep. When he confronted her, her only complaint was that HE LEAVES. Let me tell you right now, someone abused, BEGGS AND PRAYS that the abuser will LEAVE! And you NEVER approach the abuser. Ever! There is a video, of JD being angry in the kitchen. And she approaches him. Antagonizing him. No way in hell, would a victim of abuse, do that, to the person that abuses them. She is an abuser. Period. Is Johnny perfect? No. But show me one person who is. So he is an addict. So is she! So what? So, did she not know he was an addict? I knew. So she knew when she got with him. Abusers love to torment. Love to put you down. Shatter your self esteem. But, he got clean. But she refused to. I know this is about body language. But their words told me the truth. Even the lies, are easy to detect, when they are so illogical.

[@PneumaNoose]

Omggggg SAME! I didn’t remember my abuser putting out a cigar in between my buttocks until some jerk asked me over 2 decades later (about the burn scar), “eww… do you have an STD?!” whilst being intimate. Now I can never forget it cuz the trauma I now have from that guy accusing me of having an STD even after I made us both get tested cuz I take that stuff seriously. He went on and on about why I was so adamant about getting tested and that’s why he reacted that way. But I don’t know anyone who can’t tell the difference between a burn scar and an STD. ~sigh~ anyway, so you’d THINK I’d never forget waking up to one of the worst pains I’ve ever felt in my life, but I have this defense mechanism of completely severing trauma from my memory. I’ve had people sit there and say, “how the hell do you NOT remember this?!! Dude I saw this happen and you did this and that…” Like they’ve had to walk me through entire situations with extreme detail for me to suddenly remember what clearly happened to me. I feel if I didn’t have this ability, I’d of never survived being s-x sl-ve at 14. Anyway, so now I’m super self conscious about my backside so I made sure to tell my current bf about it before any intimacy could even occur because I never want to feel so ashamed about it again. Trauma is a SOB. And hey… I’m really sorry you went through that. I’ve never been bit (without permission) but I cannot even imagine what it would be like to be bit by a human. How fkd up. So sorry 😢

I lay on the ground with broken ribs and one of my puppies (4/5 weeks old) was next to me. He stamped on his head and killed him 🥺 … I remember that one very well. He then went into the kitchen and tried to hack his finger off with a kitchen knife. Like wtf? That poor puppy I can never under that. You learn not to cry, you minimise it, you make excuses for it but you know it’s not right and you’re constantly walking on eggshells. There are so many assaults, many far far worse, and the sexual abuse I can’t write about. Funny your name being Lalala, the sister of the dog that was killed was nicknamed later in life as Lala. She suffered trauma too, but she lived til she was 18 years old … God how I miss her. As for any inconsiderate fuckwits who dared to shame you, you are better off without them. You have had a tough time, I get it 100%, I’m sorry for what you went through. I hope you are living your best life? It’s hard to get through the day with that level of abuse. It’s hard to learn to trust. I’m agoraphobic now and I keep to myself. I’ve grown to like my own company. Being with other people exhausts me and I’m always on high alert with my PTSD. I’ve been with my partner for a long time now and for at least 2 years I pushed him to see if he’d react but he didn’t. He’s a good one for sure. The defence mechanism you mentioned I have something similar. It’s like looking down on your life - watching it but not really living it. Kind of disassociated to all that’s happening.

Another reason why he is so detailed & explains so much: When we're constantly arguing with someone with a mental disorder, we try to use logic but they don't think logically, so we try & try, over explaining ourselves. Someone who was abused or neglected as a child, mentally or physically, will often explain themselves too much, in great detail. A person who as a child had a parent with bpd or npd, will often explain themselves too, in great detail.

This is exactly what I thought too. I had my mother doing this to me. One of the thing she would do would be beat me up, throw me down the stairs and then call the police telling she was abused and beaten up by me. I was a teenager. I never reacted to this psicological terrorism because I was the oldest of 3 kids and I wanted to be there to be the one to protect them and also because as a kid, even if like that, I was loving my mother. As an adult now I have real troubles to see people take advantage of others or abuse others. Can’t stay silent. If you have PTSD or a history as Jonny Depp has in his childhood, you need great power to remain calm andcentered in a situation as such. I loved him as an actor before and now that I know his story and have seen his power to stay strong in this case I have even more respect for him as a man. Thank you Mr Depp for have given the demonstration that women too can be beaters and abusers in the family. I believe you planted a seed for the change of history in this field.

Look, as a man who was in an abusive relationship, I can 100% relate to Johnny Depp. I was also physically and psychologically abused by a woman. A woman who spun a rather ridiculous version of the truth to everyone I knew. She legitimately had people believing that I was the abuser. To this day, many, many people still believe her story and treat me like a tyrannical monster. You keep going on about Johnny Depp saying more than he was asked to but I appreciate Depp's willingness to give EVERY detail even if not asked. It's really a sign of honesty. Not holding back information in an attempt to protect yourself. He lays all the cards on the table and says "This is me, this is what really happened. It isn't all pretty but it's the truth." This idea that Amber Heard was somehow innocent by default simply because she is a woman is sad.

If you listen to his sister’s testimony she explains how Johnny ran to hide when he faced abuse as a child. This is why she would book an extra room for him when he traveled with Amber. Depp also references his creativity and he likes to write, I think when his finger was cut he started to write on the wall because he couldn’t leave, this was his way to cope with this traumatic event, which only proves when facing danger he doesn’t fight, he tries to run, he wants to avoid! It looks like Johnny has experienced a lot of trauma and the smiling he does when he’s talking about himself comes from trauma. This is common when there is unresolved trauma.

Plus dissociating (which is common in abuse situations) will usually make you not register certain things properly. I have problems with frequent dissociations and once accidentally cut my hand while cleaning. The blood doesn’t register as “Oh this is bad” it kind of is just… there and it’s kind of interesting to look at because you’re not processing it as blood.

I can absolutely understand that Mr. Depp might be giving a lot of detail because he fears he might not be believed.

My mother is a domestic abuse victim, and I am a child abuse victim, and I also worked for the government for 15 years in domestic violence, mental health and substance abuse. And I can tell you 100% from both my personal and professional experience, Amber Heard is the abuser here and Johnny is the victim. She does not behave like an abuse victim who is scared and been battered by her partner. For one thing, a victim of abuse or domestic violence would never ever instigate a physical fight or argument themselves nor would they talk back to their abuser. I am so sorry you went through what you did. How did you manage to finally leave and get out? And when did you start to notice she was abusive?

[@frankiefranfraser]

@@SilkyShish Wow!! I am finding it really difficult to see how a woman could do this. When I first heard about JD being an abuser I was horrified it was him but then thought... "oh he is a man. I really did not think that he would be one of those men though." Disappointed but brushed it off, so used to men being abusive even famous ones. I have watched some videos and read a lot of comments. And I am relieved to no longer think Johnny is an abuser but I can't think or feel my feelings to the other one because I am disgusted and horrified!! The evidence that makes me relieved... 1) Abusers isolate from family and friends and certainly wouldn't let them move in next door. 2) The fact she had the phone recording him... I had an evil man do this to me because he wanted to make me seem the crazy one. All the times I was in abusive situations it never occurred to me to make recordings... I was too much in survival mode. Focus on surviving, it didn't occur to me that I could or ever would take these men to court. 3) like you say it definitely sounds like she is trying to cause a fight... never ever would I ever try to cause a fight. Too scared, that is not what I do in survival mode. 4) the fact Johnny escapes to each room to get away from the fight... I used to that too and get followed and yelled verbal abuse at, kept trying to escape the fight. Until I shouted back in anger... then I would be even more attacked, physically. Poor Johnny 😥 It's horrible to think he went through what he did and is still going through it. I am so happy he is being so brave now and taking her to court 💪 So happy. She is so evil. Disgusting. Evil humans in the world! The evil man that filmed me... I was kind of crazy to stand up to him. But after studying loads I KNEW I wasn't wrong and he had behaved badly and he had lied to me a lot. Funny how I studied so much and still fell for a dangerous man. He was the most dangerous. He was going to kill me infront of his friends. Really f***ing crazy!! His friend stopped him though, miraculously! Hard to get my head round all that so I don't think about it. Even after that, I still thought I loved him. It was crazy! I believed he was my twin flame for about 2 years. I don't believe in twin flames anymore, only narcissists that make you believe that. I saw through him from early but still loved him. Still had a fantasy relationship with him. I believed his lies. He said he was celibate and he said we would get married. THAT is what let my guard down to feel attached to him... f***ing craazy looking back!! But an amazing life lesson I needed to experience to finally feel better about past awful abusive experiences. I think I will write about it all in more depth 🤔 But... WOW... I am so very happy to hear that its not Johnny. It's still so CRAZY what happens though. Evil people. I used to not believe in evil people but that didn't do much for self protection and boundaries. I now still believe that people do evil and those people I do not have to waste my time or love on. I didn't feel worthy of love... but I now know I am worthy. I am married now. To a guy that is not violent or abusive. Not blatantly anyway. He tries to tell me my feelings and I shout at him for gaslight me. I give up standing my ground at least I KNOW I know my own thoughts and feelings are true and valid. Not nice not being listen to... but at least I am not in any proper danger. I know I choose what I choose... so I can't suffer. Practice my power of now tools. It's not that bad and really does beat being alone and isolated. He has a wonderful family and he pays for most things which I am not used to... used to being financially abused.

As an abuse survivor I often over explain myself. I've even had my siblings say that it's annoying how much I talk because I'm just trying to explain my thought process of how I got to my conclusions so that nobody can accuse me of lying or being stupid or anything. My biggest one was I was constantly told I was an idiot and so it made me doubt my own thoughts and whether or not if I was smart enough to understand things. So I now overly explain just to make sure that everybody's on the same page that I do understand what we're talking about. And that is what I felt was happening with Johnny Depp. Obviously I can't confirm as I am not Johnny Depp and I wasn't there in the situation or the moment but from my own experiences I felt very connected to the way he was talking and explaining.

[@eleanorcooke7136]

One thing that also spoke to me was when Spidey was talking about Depp playing Sparrow in the courtroom. I am a practicing writer and have a few characters that I find strong. When I am in a situation, I find my self pretending to be that character in my head because to me, that character is more equipped to deal with what is happening than I am. It's a way to make yourself feel comfortable and in 'control' by distancing yourself from something that you're scared of. IMO, Johnny is bringing a bit of Jack Sparrow into the courtroom to help him distance himself from the pain and the openness that he has to display on the stand.

Also, I can’t imagine a victim staring down a man she’s afraid of that dominantly. That’s not something a victim does, that’s was abusers do. They enjoy the power they have over their victim.

[@PneumaNoose]

I agree that she’s vile, but I’m not so sure his assessment on the smile right there is accurate. I feel like he might’ve jumped to a conclusion on this one. If you notice, her smile comes AFTER her attention is drawn to her lawyer. I don’t know if what he’s saying is that they’re coaching her in that exact moment and she let the smile slip, but it sounds like he’s saying she’s smiling directly at what Johnny is saying at that moment (about losing his contract because of her lies). Again, I think she’s vile too but I have to be unbiased because I have a scientific propensity. I genuinely feel the smile came as a reaction from whatever look/gesture/comment her lawyer gave her (which could’ve simply been a note on that paper she’s writing on). But again, if he’s saying it was a coaching gesture they gave her at that moment, then I feel that’s just as bad as smiling directly at his pain as he’s reliving it on the stand. EDIT: notice how it looks as tho Amber’s attention is drawn to what the lawyer is writing. Lawyers know how to make “invisible” gestures to their clients when in court. Eye contact is not necessary. But again, the content of the gesture could easily be (and is most likely) something negative about JD. What’s also a possibility is that the lawyer was simply writing something to discredit his testimony (because they take notes the entire time when they listen to the other side conducting their examination of the witnesses) and whatever she was writing amused Amber (which again would be something at JD’s expense). I’m merely saying the smile was directed at the lawyer and not in reaction to what JD was saying on the stand in that exact moment.

[@jennifercheyne3465]

Completely agree with @lalala about the smile. It’s a smile at her lawyer, because they made eye contact, not from what she has just heard. And she knew it would look bad to have smiled in any way. Also…many women tend to do that little smile whenever meeting someone’s eyes. Not that she isn’t horrid! Wow.

[@dragonqueenniisan4122]

Then you will love to know after the divorce with JD she is dating a reporter, who is banned from the court for handing her lawyers doctored evidence, DURING THE TRIAL that the opposing counsel doesnt have knowledge of. And that, is illegal on many levels. Ontop of that she was tweeting during the time of the trial when the Judge states that all phones should be off unless you are part of the legal counsel. The hole is deeper than you could even imagine because she found someone willing to help her destroy JD life further in any way they can.

She is just so hell bent on being right and nice the way she pictures it to the point that she gets controlling and agressive!

Ironically that has never been the case because all those "Men" failed because Depp lost all his cases! Depp was called wife-beater! Depp was hated by people! People loved Amber! It even got her a role in Aquaman by the time! She was the face of #MeToo and again its only people that started hating Amber!

[@missmadness1107]

I'd've answered much the same way. Like he said, if you do something often enough you'll register less memory of that particular thing. So Depp not remembering if he drank but truly trying to remember would come out like that. As for having a drug tolerance for a specific common drug THAT IS relevant because even if taken accidentally it wouldn't have resulted in a behavioral threat that could be twisted in the testimony of his experience. Marijuana does not effect me so say I ate a weed brownie and drove would I be "under the influence" while operating the vehicle? It has that kind of significance. Saying "yes, I consumed THC then drove home during the times between x and y" without the context that my body produces enzymes that process it more effectively would be detrimental to my testimony of the truth.

In a bright side kind of way, having been hurt makes you care more deeply for others, and through healing, makes you a stronger person.

[@IAmPotatoMan69]

Johnny's switch from the way he spoke to his attorney to the way he spoke to Rottenborn (Amber's attorney) is because Johnny went from feeling safe to express himself, to then having to be defensive knowing Amber's attorney is going in for the attack. Johnny handled himself with humor and sass, but he did NOT show aggression on the stand. AND, I noticed he actually placated Rottenborn a couple times by saying "Sure" - like he just wanted Rottenborn to move on to something else. He also placated Amber. It's a mechanism used to avoid or end a perceived confrontation. Sometimes it's easier just to agree or "go along with" the other person so they will move on or shut up - EVEN when the other person is completely wrong. Sometimes sacrificing a win to a disagreement, by placating, is paramount to actually being right. Especially when, like Johnny, your natural reaction to conformation is to avoid and/or run away. If the jury is observant and mildly intelligent they will see all this for themselves and can see Johnny was clearly avoiding a confrontation, even from Rottenborn - a man who's job it is to destroy Johnny on the stand. Johnny's use of humor, sarcasm and placating are pretty evident. It doesn't mean Johnny didn't show frustration or annoyance - but that was only shown at being constantly cut off and not being able to finish his thoughts and NOT at what Rottenborn was actually saying. BTW, Amber is vile!

We have known since he was young his continuous fight against this addiction. Also he has had many dry periods when he has actually been off the drugs for long periods but just like many addicts he relapses. Many that do not look further including the media ignore this and assume and presume too much. He is such an easy target. Oh yes drug addict so he must be violent is the usual excuse.

That part when they ask him "What did you say in response when she said tell the world Johnny, tell them I Johnny Depp, a man I am a victim of domestic violence" said it all. She was playing on that card that he will be ashamed to admit that and that no one would believe. It's time to end that way of thinking that just because someone is a man, he can't be a victim. In these times, with these crazy women I truly believe there are plenty of them.

She can’t hide her true colors and I’m so glad it’s all being laid bare for everyone to see. I’m so glad that she’s going to testify because she’s going to get caught in lies repeatedly no doubt.

[@rachelmartineau8102]

I as well am an empath. Didn't know the word but sure felt it. I grew up in an household where my sister was both covert and overt narcissistic person. I was the scapegoat. I was the last child and pretty much was quiet as a mouse. My parents forgot my 16th birthday, that night I went out with my friends and watched " 16 Candles" about a girl in a similar situation. I felt God spoke to me and protected me because of my upbringing. At 50 my 60 yr old sister was making me literally sick. Physical and mental and I finally stood up for myself and argued back. She went silent with me. After researching and found understanding, I went No Contact! When you don't argue back and give responses and escape the rooms you essentially remove the power they have over you. In Ambers case she resorted into throwing things at him from a distance when she couldn't hit him with fists. I hope to God he will find a more stable loving person, kids approved as well!

As someone who has been in a DV situation: laughing during discussion of traumatic experience is something my therapist told me is quite common- we try to minimise the amount of pain we are in because we don’t wish to appear vulnerable- walls are up, so we laugh or smile to try to devalue it- even after the experiences are over- it’s a trauma response 💔

[@m_booklover3937]

This 👏🏻 I generally can only talk about my trauma if I laugh or crack an awkward joke about myself even during therapy.

[@gemstar7286]

I said the exact same thing , people forget that when anyone has been through a tough or traumatic time they're still reliving it . And any nervous laugh or smile is simply just that and it's a coping & defence mechanism. And notice how Depp doesn't hide those emotions. Whereas Heard covers her mouth and bites her tongue because she knows she shouldn't be laughing and grinning.

[@tarawalsh7045]

Hi. I just waned to stand with you and say how true this is. I am a lawyer and have worked on many of these cases for both men ans women. The other issue that I cannot repeat enough is that DA does NOT mean or require physical violence. it is a criminal act to harass, cause emotional or mental harm to anyone, whether online or at home or any other way. So many people, men and women, are too ashamed and fear judgment because they are not perfect superhumans, to pursue these cases. No one wins in these cases and the type of detachment you describe is so, so commonplace in abuse victims of all sorts, including rape. It is also true that some lawyers encourage their clients to make such allegations for a variety of reasons. I never will but I have seen it many, many times. De-value is such a powerful word, isn't it? It's right at the heart of DA.

[@elizaandreadaki9942]

I can attest to that. My mum used to hit me a lot and talking about it is very uncomfortable so I usually laugh a bit. Also, this isn't domestic violence BUT talking about my dad's death also makes me uncomfortable enough to laugh or smile. It sometimes creeps people out but I can't help it. Instead of falling on the floor crying my lungs out, letting out uncomfortable laughs is far easier

The thing about the question about drug use at their wedding is an irrelevant question. Heard's team is incessantly trying to equate the disease of addiction with the crimes of domestic violence. These are two utterly separate conditions. The repeated attempt to conflate them is not only very offensive but very dangerous. I read Depp's difficulty in answering what is a specious question as the frightened discomfort of being forced to assist in a corrupt idea: that his addiction automatically indicates his guilt in these obvious lies that he abused his accuser.

They are trying to make everyone think only about his mistakes, how bad a person he his, what things he's done bad, etc. It's all about destroying his character and making people not really want to side with him. Convincing people he's a junkie alcoholic with violent tendencies makes people not really want to side with someone like that.

As an introvert I can attest to the nervous laughter and the outward "tells" that to many would signify guilt when I'm actually telling the truth. When I've been accused of outrageous things that I never did, I actually had to pause to try to recollect if there was a way the accusations could be true, because I couldn't imagine making something like that up. I think most people in society are extroverted and so there is a tendency to read nervousness and so forth as evidence of lying, but for me it's being stunned and shocked by the audacity of the lie as well as the irony that fake people can seem more believable, if that makes any sense. I can also relate to Depp's being more confident and fluent when he's playing a character.

They made an experiment, where making the kids thinking theyre playing a game, a game of guessing what is the card in front of them (obv the card is facing down) theyre gonna trick the kids that the adult is leaving the room if the kid is gonna look at the card. When the adult is back the adult asked "did u look? ", they showed a record of 2 kids one is a boy one is a girl. The boy answered no but he smiles, the girl answered no with a straight face. The girl was the one who is lying. The point is laughter is not an indicator of someone is lying. U can just search it "can u really tell if a kid is lying" from TED channel

[@blacktiger2154]

I second this, it’s particularly bad when your mind then spirals into an ”what if I look like I’m lying“ ”I have to keep a straight face, normal people don’t react like that“ ”what if I now look even more like I’m lying“ ”oh no, they’re all thinking I’m lying“ ”please believe me, I didn’t do anything“

Thank you for speaking out as a woman , - I was in several abusive relationships where I was snickered at (more as a young teen/man and lastly where an ex of mine at 23 , treated like a number more than a partner.) And , I actually tried to take my own life at the age of 25 over this type of manipulation.... Ive been stabbed , I been beat several times - and nothing comes close to what I went through with her. She after breaking my heart - went and dated my best friend. IT WAS ALL CALCULATED. She would try to impose herself back in my life after ect - very manipulative shit. Im now 32 and thank lord everyday I am here. But, theres a way Id like to say women are more emotionally connected to themselves and others while men in general are less emotional and why we result in using physical abuse I believe - Because were not too "sly" in general and dont know how to play that emotional abuse game because were less in tune with our emotions , cuz as men were told not to be... (again just major generalizing. Ofc theres a lot of vice versa stories yada yada) So I'm not being mysandrist nor' masogonistic by saying this - But Women are just smarter with words and know how to get under someones skin . And this can be torturous in comparison to a smack to the head. Not saying one or the other is better or worse. Again ,Thank you.... This means a lot hearing someone who has been snickered at and put in such a place mentally and was a puppet to the puppet master being my ex . I was young and dumb and she used that against me 100% - thank lord I dodged her and didn't overdose on the pill bottle of narcotics I ingested that day. This has caused me PTSD ect and affected my entire life since. I cant imagine being in the public eye and having my shit aired out to the world , mind you I am 32 now I would handle the situation MUCH better now after going through it - but for anyone at any age. this can be detremental to their health and mind , especially if you know they're on drugs already ect. This is just a trash human , no matter how much you hate someone - to manipulate the court and the world to create a hit piece on "someone she cared and loved" is just infuriating to hear from peoples mouths.

Again, he is not hiding, and that shows so much healing and growth on his part. As a DV survivor who also dealt with narcissistic abuse, I am cheering him on all the way! #JusticeforJohnny

Amen, Sage! I’m with you! More power to narc abuse and DV survivors! There comes a time we stand up for ourselves, but at the same time, narcissists love that we react angrily so they can use it against us… which is what happened in the videos that Amber Turd showed for evidence. She made sure to get video of him when he reacted angrily or did something to make himself look bad. WE know he is the victim and that says a lot… #JusticeForJohnny

@@AVMermaid Yes! My hope is that if we can see...so can the jury. It is so obvious, but I guess we'll find out what they think soon enough. 🙏
