Wow, wow and wow. I AM a Doctor in Psychology, specializing in both clinical and forensic psychology.

To sit in court and make the assertions that she has made without ever interviewing both parties is truly insane. Most of these experts are nothing but hired guns, hired because it strengthens one side over the other. In my 20 years plus of experience I have only testified as an expert twice. Why you may ask, well let me tell you why. As part of my agreement I must meet with all parties involved and I will report it as I see it. Most of the time my findings are not what the hiring legal team is looking for. Therefore, I get paid for my time and never get called as an expert. This “expert” is doing a huge disservice to my profession.

Attorney: "You can't assess a relationship without talking to both parties can you?" Dr Hughes: "Yes you can, you can get a lot of information from one party absolutely" This is exactly why in family therapy while my mum did all the talking and I was only met with half the time- and sat in silence of fear of speaking up anyways- the psychologist had no idea what I was going through because of my mum. My mum has PTSD, OCD, anxiety and depression, and she coudn't regulate her emotions well with all of that and took it out on me and my teenage years were miserable. But all the psychologist saw was a battered down mother with all the things listed above who had bratty children. I didn't get help for my own plethora of issues until I got a personal psychologist. So no, you can't get a lot of information from one party. You can get a whole bunch of BIASED information for sure.

Her claiming that psychologists should check their bias’ and then her coming in with nothing but bias is hilarious and the “battered woman syndrome” is quite outdated and was originally published as a way of discrediting the “battered husband syndrome” in the 70s/early 80s. Not only does she need to brush up on recent studies but she also needs to take her own advice and check her bias which is harmful and reinforces the male perpetrator stereotype; it’s especially damaging in cases like this one. The fact that she provided an assessment without meeting Johnny or as she saw him, “the perpetrator”, is a huge red flag and she should never have been allowed to testify in the first place without having the insight from both sides.

If you listen to her testimony, honestly, then you will pick up on many emotional emphasis that she puts upon Johnny's actions, even though she never, not once, met with him or witnessed the alleged events. EG, when she described a transcript she read were Johnny "allegedly" walked out of a couples counseling session (where Johnny did not lose hus temper, but instead, removed himself from a potentially volatile situation), she described it as, "he STORMED out of a counseling session". Also, the fact that she diagnosed trauma before administering the proper tests, and blamed Johnny for their volatile relationship without ever meeting him in person.

@@evien3790 The police officers never seen any marks when they arrived. Are you referring about the picture of her arm being bruised. What happen to the pictures of her face? Isn’t that the same time AH claimed that JD hit her several times in the face also. Where are those pictures of her face?

[@jamesdrynan]

She is basing her evaluations on a prejudicial basis, never having met or conferred with Depp. She is argumentative and unbelievable in her testimony.

[@Ohioblues]

Abusers will not talk to evaluators. He refused to be evaluated. Red flag.

[@cdragon88]

@@Ohioblues What? JD never refused to be evaluated, she clearly stated that she deem JD not to be stable enough to be evaluated.

[@dr.vegapunk5853]

@@Ohioblues yeah because she is a saint right?

[@barryfrench2534]

Her answers clearly indicate an inherent bias relating to "Female on Male violence". Only refers to Male on Female, Male on Male, Female on Female with the exception of defending women who have killed their Male partner "as a result of domestic violence". One possibility is that she has never encountered such an event (extremely unlikely given her claims as to number of cases handled) other is that she refuses to take such cases and the third is she is being deliberately "opaque".

[@l.w.paradis2108]

In real cases of abuse and PTSD, when there is a legitimate perpetrator, they often cannot be located or refuse to come in, and (absent court order) it is always their right to refuse to come in. It is not a stigma to refuse and proves nothing either way. Hence these disciplines _have to_ develop ways to determine whether the patient who does come in is being truthful, evasive, guarded, or exaggerating, etc. She explained all that under direct examination. I don't blame Depp if he declined to be evaluated by her, and I don't understand why Heard agreed to talk to the muffin lady.

[@dariahernandez5315]

God she is so painfully defensive, she can at least say "yes" to some questions there is no way every question is a "no"

[@SanetLemmen]

I love this lawyers way. He is sooo good.

[@richardshiflett5181]

She never testified in defense of a man against a woman abuser.

[@mattielucius6849]

Oh my… what do that tell you👀

[@thesummerland6165]

EXACTLY

[@paulpolpiboon9535]

FACT.

[@dextermoore278]

Exactly 💯

[@A358M]

Her unprofessionalism is classless. The tone in her sarcasm her arrogance her attitude is disturbing. Does she think the jurors and public can't see through her unprofessional behavior? She's way to personally invested.

[@_birdie]

Esp insane when u compare everything u just mentioned to dr curry’s time on the stand. It’s night and day.

[@AdrianTheR]

You’d be shocked how stupid the average juror is.

[@TheSteel101]

Jurors may be swayed as she looks at them

[@xXCybranXx]

Shes a feminist

[@robsome2946]

Tbh, the justice system is very much like wrestling. You have goodies and baddies during the show; but afterwards, everyone are the best of friends, win, lose or draw!!

[@peacetea2017jb]

This woman is clearly getting paid more then what's on record " There were many Errors in my deposition I just chose not to fix them because I didn't have enough time" . Sounds more like " I had an initial statement but I got paid a bunch of money so I'm going to change my mind"

[@himuahmed4741]

Love how decided to tell what kind of a person one is without meeting or seeing him. I need that expertise in my life.

[@reptileguy1124]

That woman shouldn't have authority, she's a professional testifier, she's paid to make Amber win not to tell the truth

[@ASHMANDAN]

As is all those depp pays

[@Rome__king]

@@ASHMANDAN the difference is the expert witnesses on JD side have a unbiased testimony record lmao. Its like a racist have a Grand dragon as a expert witness vs the plaintiff has a Preacher of a multiracial church for their expert witness. then You come in and say the are both the same lmao. No one clearly shows public records of being clearly biased lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this has to be a troll post

[@heidi9520]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!

[@heidi9520]

Paid to stretch and spread AH lies.

[@shannonm.4087]

I believe you may be right. I wonder how many evil ex-wives have passed her name along with to future evil ex-wives. No way to get that percentage, but I'd bet it's high!! I cannot believe she teaches people how to testify in cases- when she truly sux at it!

[@Fixated17]

It’s a crime that she can charge $500 an hour to be this idiotic. I feel sorry for anyone who has been swindled by her “expertise “. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@TechTails]

Why do you think many people enter the medical field? Legal robbery most of the time. Her professionalism is the norm.

[@denisbute6205]

This guy is a Master in asking and adjusting questions !! Dayuuum

[@miketoon6997]

She looks towards the jury almost with the same frequency as Amber. I would surmise that she also gave advice, based on her PowerPoint presentations, on how to conduct herself in the court.

[@JasonAdam719]

This is what we call a “Hired Gun.” She has an existing relationship and history with the defense and was brought in to substantiate the claims, not to run evaluations to make a professional and unbiased decision.

[@peajay3557]

EXACTLY! Thank you.

[@rammillim5555]

THIS. This comment should have more likes.

[@badcampa2641]

I saw yesterday an explanation as to why she isn't a hired gun that says what you want, she is more like a crusader that says the exact same thing every time she gets hired. Both types are despicable and dangerous.

[@cakepudding3220]

And Anbers lawyer “Karen” had the nerve to go on about Shannon Curry psychotherapist having “dinner & Drinks” with Johnny

[@SUPPAcHERO]

Her testimony for the other trials must all sounds the same. "I interview only the women and I believed her while disagreeing and disregarding others."

[@kristaw2686]

Normally I roll my eyes at lawyers picking apart words of testimonies, but I definitely noticed that she repeatedly referred to victims as "she" and "her" when NOT specifically referring to this case but speaking generally about victims of abuse.

[@Shasha-jo5iv]

Ok I'm on Johnny's side but on average more women are victims than men in straight relationships so that is not that strange

[@lisamcelhannon1637]

That was pissing me off yesterday too. Surprised it took so long to bring it up.

[@rzawistowski33]

Yeah, she basically implies women are the abused.

[@korgothofbarbaria2841]

@@Shasha-jo5iv Men don't go to police in abuse cases and abuse from females mostly is attack on character. Physical abuse is definitely domain of men beacuse on avarage we are stronger but abuse comes in many forms.

[@AT-lp8qg]

@@Shasha-jo5iv Yes on average that is true. But individually it is not. Every case need to be treated separately based on the evidence presented and not based on the "average". Without acknowledging this, it could to biases and wrongful judgement. An average person may make that mistake, but a professional/expert should not. They should respect that every person man or female could potentially be the victim and need to be objective first.
