[@mrswizzlestickz2646]

I think the most telling part is the fact that she's been in court before many years before for the same exact thing. Back then it was much closer to the day that Johnny's alleged abuse occurred and back then she was as cool as could be and even snacking the whole time but now years later after that one she's much more "emotional" even tho it's further removed from the alleged incident

[@atinity6749]

Right? She's obviously trying put on some performance here. I hate to speculate, and before I heard Amber's testimony I was quite sure that she's endured some sort of DV, at least emotional one. Or at the very least that the relationship wasn't easy for either of them, there must have been a time, just statistically speaking, when Johnny was more of a dick than she was. But then I heard her testimony and it was just so... fake. I found it hard to believe that anything ever happened to her. Only now when my emotions have faded a bit, I finally realize how her testimony sounds; it sounds exactly the same when one person is trying to tell a long and complicated story that happened to another person. It's not their story, so they don't quite know where to put the emphasis, and sometimes they forget the order of which the events occurred. So it sounds disjointed and not very interesting. Some people rumored that she took abuse stories from other women. And that actually sounds believable. Also she just doesn't really sound like she was emotionally affected by any of what she's saying. Well, at least not in a way you'd expect. You'd except sadness, fear, desperation, shame. She just seems vindictive and argumentative. I have suffered through domestic violence, so I hate to say negative things about another person who claims to have gone through that, because I recognize that not all victims respond the same way and just because I personally cannot identify with her story doesnt mean that it couldn't be true. But still, this was bad testimony. By all accounts it just doesn't add up 🙈

[@gamingcantina9157]

You would think that she would be emotional in the first trial but you could see a smirk while she snacked on whatever not at all hurt or affected. this trial shes been caught lying multiple times , if she was truly abused she wouldnt have to lie thru her teeth and shes more emotional crying crocodile tears. She also contradicts herself.

[@jocelynkreiser]

all a performance for the media and the jury imo

Her testimony started by her trying to make it seem like Johnny was some old man being inappropriate and unprofessional with her. Then she switches to saying how kind he was and how in love she was. She emphasized things that would be embarrassing for Johnny and repeats things that she wants the jury to remember. Much like Dr. Curry said she would she minimizes the things she does wrong and maximizes and lies about being a victim. It's a full act and a bad one.

Someone In the comments on another video about this made a very good point. When Johnny is recalling memories and uses hand motions to describe the scene, his are always defensive actions that he shows. Like putting his hands over his head to block a punch. When Amber 'acts' out what she is describing,, it's always the aggressor. Like when she says he punched me, she is showing a punch in the air. Very telling.

Yep. When she talked about being dragged by the hair, she acted out the dragging, not being dragged.

And the head butt, she acted out a head butt, not reeling back as if you'd been head butted.

[@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468]

Omg yes!!!! Thank you for pointing this out! That is so true and noticeable now that you said that!

[@Stacy-]

She reversed her role as the abuser to use Johnny's experience as her own. That's why she kept switching between past & present tense or as a spectator watching the abuse. Her repeated argument was "he always runs away at the first signs of an argument". That's not the actions of an abusive person. She tried to force him to stay during an argument, chased him around the house if he tried to walk away, harassed him relentlessly, tracked him down if he left, or "HIT HIM TO PREVENT HIM FROM LEAVING"...according to what she told the therapist. Have you ever heard of any DV victims that would actually beg their abusers to stay & fight or chase them from room to room? DV victims are usually relieved when their abuser leaves or walks away. She consistently contradicted herself.

[@yeenbean3318]

Copying outfits is definitely an odd psychological game. Someone did that to me for years, including copying my hairstyle and buying shoes that look similar to mine. It was a drastic change from their original style, and not a coincidence. It wasn't even remotely flattering either. It was just creepy. Especially considering this person was abusive to many people, and had an unhealthy fixation on becoming me. So to see someone else pulling that kind of unsettling shit on live tv was surprising, but I felt strangely validated that I'm not the only one seeing stuff like this.

[@dessieangel1021]

I had a girl do that to me and she was trying to be friends with me. She was dating a guy that was friends with my husband for more than a decade. So, I think she was trying to appease me bc I was her boyfriend’s best friend’s wife. Cool. But she was so insecure, I felt her try to change herself in order for me to like her. She tried to change the way she dresses. She suddenly wanted to go swimming with me. She suddenly wanted to see a show she saw me get excited over. Other things. I got creeped out, blocked her for it, got a reaction from it, apologized for making her feel bad, but I stated that I didn’t want to be in her life anymore.

[@bakaichigo]

It's a means of manipulation and, for the abuser, a means of further implementing control or of telling one's victim "I am still in control, watch me make you feel like sh1t without saying a word, hahah what are you going to do about it?". It can also be a way to silently force someone to acknowledge emotionally that you are still watching them, to make them uncomfortable or to in someway gain power over them through physical use of perception and space publicly. This is implemented for a number of means, but usually its to manipulate, intimidate and control. It's rarely a sign of anything flattering, with the least distressing version of this being an act from a Neurodiverse person (this is something I and my friends have done unconsciously over the years, mimicry of one another's personal styles) who isn't aware they're mimicking you so closely, and in this case is usually a sign of admiration ("you're successful, I want to be successful, I should do what you do!") but can become a problem if the person does not know where/how to stop or where the line is.

[@caleighhraee]

I had a roommate in college do that to me. I caught her going through letters my boyfriend (now husband) wrote me because we were long distance. She’s a creep and I had to cut complete ties. She dyed her hair the same as me and got a nose piercing on the same side I have mine lol. She was weird

[@NancyMarlene]

I believe it’s easy for her to describe Johnny’s “abuse” to her because that’s what she did herself, whereas she has a hard time explaining how she felt or what she thought after that “abuse” because she was never on the receiving end. She can’t have known what it was like to be on the other end of her own abuse.

[@whitneynicole4748]

Exactly! Real story(well, kinda. Some are very exaggerated & outlandish ) , not hers.

[@meesamagill1193]

Agree fully. When shes asked how she felt she has said 'heartbroken' several times instead of actual feelings of either physical pain or upset etc. Plus it also sounds like she is using stories that she may have heard genuine victims describe eg eggshells etc 'I dont know how to describe that'...because she hasnt experienced it. For anyone falling for her lies can they explain the pettiness of copying his outfits etc. Thats not victim behaviour

I also noticed this as well. She described how she would walk away from the fights and try to just get away, when this is exactly what she got upset with Johnny about in the audio recordings.

Her entire testimony is so triggering. I’ve been in therapy for so long now due to abuse I faced, and I truly did not think I would be as triggered as I was, but I had to fast forward through most of her testimony so far. I can only consume it in these small clips. Her whole story makes my skin crawl and makes me remember my own abuser who was very fond of gaslighting. She’s so disingenuous, and the way she describes the things around her in so much vivid detail, but glosses over the actual event just shows she’s mimicking what she’s seen in movies or read in books. I have entire chunks of my memory erased because of PTSD and trauma. There are whole years I can’t remember at all. But here’s this woman describing such violent and brutal attacks, that should have sent her to the hospital or the morgue, in so much detail like it’s nothing. It really feels like she’s mocking real DV survivors. She’s making it so much harder than it already is for true survivors to come forward.

[@sadrabbit53]

Yeah. I remember Johnny talking about his finger being severed, and his brain dissociated so hard that he ignored pain signals and drew on the walls with blood, and Amber's relentless screaming turned into mere background noise. It sounded like me during a panic attack, so it came off as more genuine.

[@GabrielleDeathDoll]

[@KES47Brown]

Yes! There are whole years, instances, moments that I have blocked out from the abuse I lived through. I can remember things yes, but not how it all conspired, not what all was said, not all the movements, I can’t remember what I did after it happened each time or what even started it the way she does. One incident I was drug from my bed in the middle of the night by my feet, drug into the living room and him on top of me with a gun to my head asking where his money was threatening to shoot me. But details, nope. How she can remember exactly what was said, the carpet, each time why she was smacked or punched. I can’t understand. If I had to sit up there and speak, I would be lost, I would truly be crying and not telling it in a story way. I would also speak of him in pure disgust. The way she describes why she fell in love with him, where you see true tears and heart from her.. telling all of that. I couldn’t do it. There is no way I could speak of him being loving. I honestly can’t remember any of it, I blocked it all out because he made me despise him. Even if I could remember those things I wouldn’t speak on them like that. I would just be describing how horrible he did me. It makes me sad this is happening. The way she talks, she adds in so much stuff that you can obviously tell isn’t true. It’s such a mockery and it’s sickening!

I'm also sorry you had to go through this kind of shit! I had to as well and since I'm a woman, it shows that there are really only minor differences - abuse is abuse no matter the gender! I - as many women! - am truly sickened by Miss Heard when she uses the fact, that statistically men are more prone to violent behaviour and so most people tend to believe the woman when it comes to abuse, to gain sympathy for her case. The excuses and explanations of abusive people never seems to change, Miss Heard expresses herself in the same manner my abuser showed when I tried to get help. It always was the fault of others, the switching of responsibilities, it never happened and you are not the victim but the culprit... Man or woman, abuse is not excusable. I am convinced she is an abuser (I think every person who was abused can see that) - and I hope she gets what she deserves.

When my grandson was born he was brought home alone with his Dad. My son had no clue what to do with a baby especially with no mother wanting to see him. They came home to me for about 6 months so I could help him, they moved out to their own apartment and he became a man I was and am so proud of. My grandson just turned 3 and she is still trying to torture him.

(because when he would leave after she got violent it would only make it worse) and she said NO.. not even for a might they couldn't separate if she became violent bc 'that isn't a marriage'. This whole thing was an extortion plot bc she was going to lose her lavish life when he finally told her he was done & filing for divorce. Look at the papers she served him.. threatening him with DV accusations. DV victims don't threaten to tell 'if you won't agree to their ridiculous demands of monetary gains'.

If she were my close friend and came to me with the exact same story the same way she has here in court… I wouldn’t believe her. I would instead encourage she get therapy. Because it seems she is trying to live the delusion to make it real… but because she never had anything close to that experience..she’s struggling. When an abuser has lost control over their victim, they will do this…”they were bad,they hurt me, they caused me to act that way and it wasn’t as bad as they say.’’ I have lived this…I resonate with JD and that’s why I have been so invested in this.

[@JmAnYoShI]

The best analysis I’ve seen of her testimony is thus: She presents as an inexperienced actor of questionable talent who is trying to portray a character she doesn’t fully understand, and compensates with histrionics common in actors who struggle with emoting properly. Having watched her entire testimony, following the trial as a whole, and seeing multiple analyses, something has clicked for me…. The character she’s playing is Johnny. Her testimony revolves around the idea that she was always attempting to retreat from Johnny’s verbal abuse, which eventually turns physical. But all of the evidence presented in the trial shows that Amber started every fight, Johnny attempted to retreat, and Amber got physical. I’m convinced that the only reason her testimony holds together at all, is because she’s telling a true story, she’s just telling Johnny’s perspective, and flipping the characters. She uses Johnny’s perspective to give herself justification to frame her abuse as self defense. This could also explain why she stumbles whenever she begins explaining physical actions, because she needs to make sure she’s assigning it to the right person to fit her story The infuriating thing, is if this is what she’s doing, everything she’s saying is technically true… she’s just twisting the truth to fit her own false narrative.

Exactly 👏👏👏👏👏 I CONCUR AS WELL! typical BPD and Histrionic behavior, the reversal of victim roles and projection. Many BPD and histrionic personalities become mirrors and become obsessively desiring to become someone they’ve been infatuated with. This makes perfect sense.

Absolutely excellent comment!! It’s like you can see all throughout her testimony that she’s trying to think of what she’s supposed to say and what emotion she’s supposed to be emoting here, and what you said about her trying to play Johnny sums it up perfectly. I’ve seen other folks say the same thing-that they suspect she’s literally swapping her and Johnny’s roles in events. Heck, while it’s possible her behavior simply changed over time, the fact that we have her on tape being furious at him for walking away to avoid fighting yet she’s on the stand saying she would try to leave and he’d stop her-that may be actual evidence of the swapping behavior.

So, they have to fabricate whatever they believe intellectually it is really all about. She cannot possibly come up with the real emotions because the only real emotions she has are anger, resentment, fear, bitterness, and mockery. When you listen to the audio tapes of them talking about their arguments, she openly admits to hitting him and he corrects her that he "pushed her" to stop her from hitting him and she never corrects him. She tries to say he hit her and it ends as he "pushed her off of him". She says, "I tried to get away", which is EXACTLY what Depp was doing and she is on audio calling him a coward for it and telling him he isn't a man because he is constantly "splitting" from the scene when fighting begins. She is literally pretending that she is Depp and that everything he did is what she did and everything she did is what Depp did. It is projection and gaslighting 101. People are wondering about her mimicking Depp's attire from the previous day... I say it is just another sign of her pretending she is Depp, the true victim.

As somebody who has conducted investigations and conducted interviews regarding investigations the most telling sign for me that Heard is being performative is who Heard looks at when answering questions. Depp when answering questions on the stand, for the majority of his time, responded directly to the person asking the questions. This to me shows confidence on Depp's part and it shows that he is willing to let the evidence speak for him and that he believes he doesn't have to convince anyone of his innocence. Heard is constantly is looking at the jury when speaking because I believe she knows she has to little to no evidence to back up her claims. She could also be attempting to garner sympathy or adjust her emotions upon observing the reaction of the jury.

I kind of feel the same way. She's being so overly dramatic about it all. It feels as though there is perhaps some truth to what she has claimed, but that she has blown it so far out of proportion and exaggerated to such an extreme that it makes it difficult to believe anything she is saying at all, thereby invalidating anything that she says that might actually be the truth. It all seems like an act. To get attention. Or maybe because she's already so deep into her lie she feels the need to just keep going - kind of a "no turning back now, may as well go big" kind of mindset. Idk. From Johnny's testimony and the evidence presented while he was on the stand, he has admitted to the awful things he's done or said. So it's evident to me they've both done wrong. However, I believe her to be the primary aggressor and also that she's greatly exaggerating the things that happened.

She grabbed something, “a pot, a vase”. It was HER OWN APARTMENT. How could she not know what it was? I’ll give you that IF THE FIGHT WAS REAL, she might have grabbed whatever her hand reached. But in telling the story later, she would have FULL KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IT WAS (“it was a little terracotta vase I bought in New Mexico”, or even “it was a little vase”). So she’s either making it up as she goes along or she has constructed a little pantomime of what she would say-a script, as it were-about the incident, which does not give credence to her story. And she does it time after time. She never seems to remember what she was held up against, how the bar was shaped, what kind of table it was she was thrown into, what was the drink Depp had in his glass, how far she was pushed, which way she was going and Depp coming… she doesn’t seem to know anything about her surroundings, not before an alleged aggression, not after the alleged aggression. It’s like she’s writing a book and hoping the editor will catch the mistakes before it goes to print. And now we know why Depp’s legal team asked for video coverage. He doesn’t want 50 mil from her, he wants the Hollywood execs who fired him because of her opinion piece to see she’s full of it.

I’ve been a victim myself, if I was asked this question my immediate response to first physical violence would be “he was throwing my chairs around, I was sitting across the room and reached for my phone to call the police and he tackled me to get my phone and ripped it from my hands”. I hope to god there are some victims on the jury that can see through this. Victims feel no need to create a dramatic or emotional setup before describing the abuse. “Oh… I remember it perfectly, it changed my life however, he understood me blah blah blah” THAT WASN’T THE DAMN QUESTION. Her simple response if she was telling the truth would be “we were sitting on the couch and I asked about his tattoo and he slapped me”. I absolutely despise this devil woman.

I'd watched this entire trial and then Heard started her testimony. The beginning it was okay, but then she got to her relationship with Depp, and it was triggering in a way I'd never have imagined. It felt almost like she was making a mockery of what so many of us been through. I get im a little sensative with my situation (TW) Like the week after my youngest got out of the NICU, I got a call from a local police dept. My ex murdered my old friend in front of her 5y/o. (He then drove the kid across town at 2am and dropped her off at her aunts. He then almost killed another woman in his attempt to flee/end his own life. So that's been difficult to cope with. But damn this reads so disingenuous. While watching it I couldn't help but think, "THIS is why people don't believe us!!!!" And it clicked, and it sucks. I know we all show our trauma different. But it feels fake to me and every other survivor I've talked to or ran across talking about it on the internet.

The thing that people like AH either don't realise, or don't care about, is the impact they will have on others.

It doesn't matter to her, or doesn't register, that male abusers will use her as an example of women trying to pull this nonsense. I am absolutely convinced that in the next few years you'll see this case being held up as an example to try to discredit a woman trying to claim a man is abusing her. Trust, but *verify*. That second part is essential. We cannot allow abusers of either gender to get away with gaslighting us. We cannot let them weaponise the public the way that AH blatantly tried to do here. If you find yourself having a gut visceral reaction to something you've just heard about, step back and wait before you do anything stupid. Wait for more information, don't spread it around as gospel until you have a lot more detail, and discourage those you know from jumping in feet first. Trust. But you absolutely must *verify*.

I was fortunate to get away and then a few years ago another ex started slowly acting the same way with gaslighting and I got rid quickly as this time am a mum and had my son to think of. She doesn't give the look of someone that has been abused, what she talks about is what she put Johnny through. Its how she said he slapped her but she was walking away from him, I hope the jury picked up on it as how can he slap her across the face when she's walking away.

Hacking my phone, the way she talks down and treats her own family, friends and partner, due to simple things like education, or them being "annoying", talking down to me because I left school, and yet alot of what she went to study was just common sense to me, inviting her sister and I out and being annoyed we got along, and framed it as we were annoying everyone so we felt bad, her own sister saying she does it all the time to her, the fact she kept me around despite having a partner, the way she wouldn't let go of high school petty drama, and still hated a "friend" going through her own shit, all to just protect her own image.

I find it very interesting how much of her time is spent eyeballing the jury. I don't have years of experience, but I spent some time shadowing a courtroom artist, and even in that short period of a few months I saw numerous cases/trials of women and one man accounting their experience as victims of IPV/DV. And sure, whilst I'm not in the USA, I'm a New Zealander, so I'm sure you could claim it's technically just some societal difference, but nonetheless, during that entire time I was in the courtrooms, NONE of the victims looked at the jury whilst accounting the violence done to them. Most would look at their lap, their notes, and sometimes their legal support, but most would look down. Sure, most would look at the jury at other times, especially if directed to explain something to the jury, but never when accounting the violent acts. Additionally, almost all of them would try to insert reasons that they might've been the instigators/initiators in the violence, almost trying to justify why their partner started abusing them, even though they had been told it wasn't their fault, but the profound changee dealt to their psyche is such that, subconsciously, some victims _still think it is their fault_ and that they somehow deserve the harm done to them. Nothing in the way she details the violence, the way things played out etc, plays out like the patterns I've seen in other courtrooms. I can't completely put my finger on exactly why she seems so suspect and disingenuous to me, but I assure you it's definitely something and not just my own bias.

They take it slowly, much like Johnny did while recounting the event where his finger was severed. He took all the time he needed to make sure his recollection was correct, and it hasn't changed since his deposition. With Amber, the language she uses is also important, it's very vague, it very rushed, she uses terms like "He would throw things, Break things" There are times in her testimony, when she is blinking constantly, there is an image of her where her face is completely relaxed.

I am now expert like you, but I am a woman and I have been abused by a partner. I know people can react differently , but I think there are always patterns. She is describing very painful and traumatizing abuse , specially sexual abuse. I think it’s so odd that she can even speak lovingly about Johnny Depp after claiming how he abused her. Usually as a woman you feel repulsed after identifying how you were abused and taken advantage of. Also she embellished her stories, when describing traumatic or painful events usually you keep it simple, since every word hurts like hell and breaks you. That’s my take on this. I don’t believe the abuse she describes.

I've had bruises on my upper arms quite often from where my husband (again, consensually!) roughly grabs me by the upper arms and either pushes me against the wall or onto the floor. Those bruises have always been long and skinny. Finger-shaped bruises, essentially. I guess each person bruises different. But I've never had a bruise like that from being roughly grabbed by the arm.

She did not compliment him once beyond how generous he was with his wealth or delved into anything that really had formed their connection. It sounded like a very superficial infatuation to me.

In relation to the photo, she talked about him hitting her on the face and not knowing how many times he hit her face, but the photo is of a bruise on her arm... Why isn't the photo of her face? There are just so many things that she had claimed that can be discounted because she was in videos and had photos taken off her. She claimed to have been beaten before the 2014 met gala. No bruises, no marks. Nothing. Having experienced DV myself, I can tell you that I wasn't able to cover marks or get the swelling down that quick. Make-up doesn't cover the swelling. I used make-up, my hair, and sunglasses to try to hide it and it still didn't work. Honestly, I've had a hard time believing anything she has said ever since I saw the video she recorded of JD slamming his cabinets. She showed absolutely no fear during it, stuck around to goad him, and laughed about it all at the end of the video. When I am witnessing something like that, I try to get away or, if I can't for some reason, I just shut down.

[@lindacharron4021]

Everything you said is exactly my own thoughts. I wondered about showing a bruise on her arm ( obviously from walking into something) when she states he was hitting her face repeatedly. I also kept thinking about, why are you poking the snake with a stick if you are scared. Most victims try to avoid conflict with the abuser in fear of being beaten again. Nothing she says makes sense. She is very calculating, just as my Ex was. He would hurt me in some way or another then leave. I wouldn't see him again for hours or the next evening. This went on for years. Then one night he beat me up and smashed up three rooms of stuff. I called the police. When they came to my house the senior officer told me I was a bitch, because my ex was a good man and just about every weekend he would go to them and tell them I was provoking him and they should lock him up before he lost it at me and actually hit me. So I was called a bitch in my own home by a police officer that was supposed to be there to protect me. How does one even calculate and manipulate this stuff?

The “I felt.” Johnnys teams Specialist stated that not ONCE did she ever say, ‘I felt’ during her interview for personality disorders. She does remind me of my ex who was abusive. My ex is-the male amber heard pretty much. He talked his way out of situations with the cops by claiming to them we were working on things when we weren’t and going through a divorce. He made his family think we were together so they’d ignore my complaints of him attempting to sexually harass me, and often times pretended his attempts at S.A was ‘just a joke’.

For anyone who listened to Dr Curry's testimony, it's easy to notice some things she predicted. How Amber portrays these incredible emotions, but we have trouble connecting with them, because they seem shallow and empty. How she's very socially sophisticated and manipulative (her glancing at the jury while supposedly in a mental breakdown, to see if they are buying her story) and finally how she uses certain words and terms to make everything seem incredibly dramatic. Dr Curry specifically gave the word "magical" as an example and Amber already used it at least twice during her testimony, as far as I can remember. In my mind, this only confirms the validity of her diagnosis. Amber is a very dangerous person. Edit: Because I already see this becoming a problem. I didn't say which of Curry's opinions make Amber dangerous. For all you know, I could've been talking about histrionic personality disorder or the totality of her stated opinions (which I was). But for some reason I see people jumping to the conclusion that I meant BPD. I've also seen it in many other places and it's very interesting to me how defensive people are of this particular disorder, especially when by contrast, barely anyone mentions the histrionic disorder. It's not like there isn't stigma about mental health and personality disorders in general. Curious.

Curry's predicted to come back to the stand during the rebuttle. The plantiff (Johnny's) side gets to go back to the stand to clarify things brought up by the defendant before closing remarks. Amber's diagnosis doesn't make her inheriently dangerous. That's a dangerous stereotype. The vast majority of people with BPD go their entire lives without being violent. The few that commit horrific acts are the only ones that get highlighted in mass media. Amber is within the terrible actions group.

I go no the doggy pooped the bed, He says nope, I say was too doggy, I got a doggy he stepped on a bee and had to go vets, Then he goes you hurt my heart I don’t want to play with you no more. So I took his bed sheets to make them all brown so people will think he is the real bed pooper.

I find it quite interesting that her makeup is different than usual, as well; it seems carefully curated to me to make her look more tired and upset - and, therefore, vulnerable. Because it's not like she's just going without (which would also have been a good idea, tactically: misogyny usually results in women wearing makeup to be viewed as frivolous, and so to be taken less seriously). She clearly has a full face on everywhere except the eye area. I don't know if her vanity wouldn't allow her to go bare-faced, or if it's more deliberate, but it results in drawing the eye towards *her* naked eye area. In my opinion, it's a ploy to arouse sympathy - but interesting to note, anyway.

Also noted her makeup makes her look a bit swollen especially around the cheek and eye area.

[@mystic_mimi21]

I agree. A perhaps hasn’t been having filler or Botox under her eye. I think she has has cheek implants that are even more obvious with makes her look even more tiered and gaunt looking.

so glad I'm not the only one that noticed this.

[@soofriends]

I think she overestimated her acting ability and expected that she would be able to squeeze a few tears out. That would ruin her mascara, and she didn't want to have smeared raccoon eyes. Yeah, I think she is that vain. Carly Simon said it best. *wink*

[@206babe]

If she had mascara on it would run when she cries 🤣🤣🤣

This is my theory on the 'first incident of physical abuse' i.e. the argument over the tattoo. JD in his testimony said AH did not like that tattoo at all and had reacted badly to it. If you listen to AH's account BUT REVERSE THE ROLES it starts to make sense. Picture the scene: a quiet night "cuddled up on the sofa" drinking wine. AH asks about the tattoo, JD tells the story (although it now says 'Wino Forever', originally it said 'Winona Forever' - he got it altered after he and Winona Ryder broke up). AH hears this, immediately gets jealous (something along the lines of - AH "I want you to get it removed" and JD laughs/refuses) AH reacts by slapping JD. JD laughs in surprise (is this a joke??) so AH slaps him again etc etc. I think that's nearer the truth of what happened. It means AH can tell a truthful story because it really happened but JD was on the receiving end of the abuse and not the instigator. Just my opinion... 🤔

[@oanafl]

I can totally see that happening based on all evidence we've gotten so far

[@ImpatientBadger1]

My first thought is why the hell would AH get jealous over a relationship he has that ended when she was 7 years old? Then I thought about everything we know about her and yeah that tracks.

[@shelleyaundrews5124]

Also the fact she “pretends” not to know what the tattoo said. I’m the same age as Amber and even I know what the tattoo says. It’s quite common knowledge. She was probably trying to start a fight.

[@loritalbot3063]

There is no way she didn't know the story about the tattoo. She said before that she was obsessed with JD when she was younger. Everyone knows the Winona/wino story . My guess s she just demanded he have it removed , he said no and she freaked on him !

[@Sindaj.]

This sounds way more accurate and in line with the current evidence than any of amber heards testimony

[@annekendziora9114]

when she describes the first years of abuse, its exactly what we already know she did to JD. She is just flipping the script.
