@1:20:21 - Eyes go around, head is following the eyes, scratch of right eyebrow, eyebrows raised, all of these movements express a feeling of deep concern : The huge wasp is back in the house of Scott Rouse 🐝 🧐

[@hazelhadley-britt6396]

I disagree the whole time that Scott equates them to the trailer fighting / volatility. Do you do that to other victims of abuse? He did call her names etc, but equate him to this being trailer volatility, nope. He was an abuse victim. Remember. Many of us have heard ALL THE AUDIO AVAILABLE. Including Australia. (She claims the Australia audio proves what he did. It does not. It has her admitting she hurt him and it has others protecting her from police for JD). Just an FYI.

[@hazelhadley-britt6396]

Police. Remember the audio where she mocked him about telling the judge, jury and the world? We all know men do not come forward as easily when they are abused. They are not believed. Even with proof. They have to spend money in court to prove it. And even then society tends to still treat them as the abuser. The results of this case proves it with all those who still push AH as the victim of abuse and him as the abuser. Tsk, tsk, tsk Scott. ;)

[@hazelhadley-britt6396]

What he lost.... He was not speaking of just money. It was reputation. Family. Friends. Etc. He has worked for decades and he has never been accused of such things. He wanted to die. To reach such depths.....

[@hazelhadley-britt6396]

Any time he has physically hurt her has been accidental during her attacks on him. He speaks of it in audio. And he speaks of it on the stand. But he has never deliberately beaten her as she has claimed.

[@kathycurtis9686]

This woman wasn't done with him after the divorce. She had to ruin him. She had to ruin his career. She could have just been done with him. But she had to flatten him financially. She took full advantage of guilty because of accusation. She accused him and for Disney he was automatically guilty. He's fighting for his life and his 30 year career. Kudos to him for not allowing her to get away with lies. As a practical matter, she doesn't have 50 million dollars, but he needed a chance to fight for his vindication. Good for him. I hope he wins.

Strange how, when she accuses him of something, he loses work. But when he accuses her of something, she's still making movies. If it wasn't for double standards, Hollywood wouldn't have any standards.

[@Bing903]

Johnny needs his reputation back! He is the victim not her. Amber turd will torture him financially and emotionally for the rest of his live if he doesn’t protect himself in court right now. He is out of his comfort zone and was hoping she would back off but unfortunately she will never stop attacking him. Evil in my opinion. Johnny has already WON in the court of public opinion. Just because he is an alcoholic doesn’t mean he is abusive. Johnny should have called the cops and got a restraining order when his finger was lopped off and a lit 🔥 cigarette butted put in his face !!!!! It can’t be good to be amber turd from this trial forward. Live and learn you can’t treat people like this. Assult is unacceptable.

[@awake8794]

I think even if he loses the defamation case, he wins in the court of public opinion, he gets his side of the story out. the People can see he's been abused, and gained back any fans he lost in her lie. he'll go on to make more movies and maybe even one about his life married to her, one day.

[@loujones5388]

I don’t think Johnny is doing this for money. He wants to restore his reputation and end the vilification of him.

[@TrudyPatootie]

The smile is his way of lessening the trauma. I did that a lot before I had a ton of emdr therapy. I still catch myself awkwardly doing it sometimes. It was my way of saying “it’s not a big deal” “I don’t care” “I’m fine, see?” It’s a way of disassociating from the pain, especially in front of your abuser.

[@mrspinkangel12]

I was a military nurse for a long time, and an EMT. Depps describes, in a very common way, a recollection of an injury like he sustained. Many people will remember having gone through a traumatic injury, and are surprised they didn't feel pain right away. They first feel the warmth of the blood. I believe his smile at "looking at my bone" is also a common reaction. Many patients I've spoken with do the same smile because they remember the shock of seeing inside their body while their brain is saying, "that's not right!" Most people don't have exposure to blood, guts, and bones. It's not only a physical shock to see a piece of your body gone, but it's a mental shock. Love your vids!

[@michelleprice7605]

Agree. As a nurse in med surg have seen patients try to make a joke of their situation is a protective effect of the event.

[@seanfuller2152]

Agreed, I accidentally chopped of my whole finger with a machete, didn't feel a thing, no blood to start with just went pale cold, and walked back a mile plus to camp and calmly asked for help to drive to hospital pain didn't start until much much later but nothing to the pain of physiotherapy after it was reattached to get movment

I was knifed in the stomach as a kid in a street fight. Even know when I tell the story I inevitably smile and I remember the physical details and not the fear at first. The warmth of the blood, the strange feeling of the knife almost popping in, the glare of the street lights reflecting of the damp asphalt, the crisp autumn air. There is a level of detachment and also trying to put people at ease.

[@AstroEssexGirl]

There was a clip earlier that hit home hard, where a man said: a woman in fear would not defecate on her husbands side of the bed. I just hope any men who watch Johnny talk about how he has been abused, gives them the strength to speak up too if they are in the same situation.

[@cricket6353]

A woman in fear would not do 90 percent of what she did. Especially recording him when he is angry about something else and standing right there. Let alone laugh and smirk at the end of it and continue with her sarcastic, demeaning, insulting behavior! That was a dead give away for me.

He was a year behind me in junior high and high school and he was always very quiet, very, very gentle.

There is no way that the young man that I remember could have done any of these things.

That is lovely to know, thank you. It breaks my heart as we now know what he suffered at home, but that he has always been a gentle soul is exactly what I would have thought about him. I am so happy that he has been able to clear his name with this trial, be the case a loss or a win, he has proved who he is.

[@wander_woman2084]

One thing I feel you have all missed is that anyone who was abused as a child learns very quickly to minimize their pain--to temper all 'complaints'. I feel his smiles are this mechanism at work. He smiles to dismiss his pain, his injuries, to laugh it off in case acknowledging it brings on more of the same abuse. It's a defensive reflex.

[@AmIsis777]

Definitely, I do this too. I use humour to diffuse tense situations or conversations.

[@christiegaras3543]

I don't think people have missed what you describe, they just don't know the name for it. I agree, it's a coping mechanism for him. His reactions and actions, even in verbal tapes submitted for evidence, his anger I'm even controlled. He tried not to deflect anything onto her and take it all himself. Amber is a true bipolar with psychotic tendency. If you watch other tapes of her being questioned you can she how smug and self righteous and indignant she is. This women seriously need medication and psychological help permanently. Until then, I really don't think the rest of us are safe around her. Thank you for your keen insight.

[@dannifauntleroy6102]

"I'm scared to death. I'm frightened and I don't know what to do. I'm confused and I want to go home." -Johnny Depp's message to his fans, May 11 2016. Then he smiles. It seems how he copes.

[@maggiefollett636]

Fascinating. One thing I think the panel misses in Depp's occasional smile (when he relates certain disturbing things) is a sort of tragic irony; a rueful expression, which is darkly comedic. I get that.

[@passerby2562]

Agreed. My sister's reaction to bad events is laughter. If she sees a jump scare for example she would get shocked and then start laughing. The worst it is the more she laughs. At one time she was swimming and her leg cramped and she started drowning. She was laughing so hard that when in the seconds her head would pop out of the water she couldn't breathe. My aunt thought she was playing and was laughing with her, until someone pointed out that she was drowning. Thankfully she got out safely.

[@morpheuszzz662]

Mark Bowden should watch an old interview by Oprah. Johnny sounds exactly the same as he does in the courtroom. He's always spoken slowly, seems very thoughtful, takes his time getting his words out, etc.

[@chloeswigs3680]

he talked like this whe he was young

[@TallyDrake]

I think Johnny's laughter is him in disbelief. Disbelief at what happened to him in this marriage. Disbelief that anyone would think he would abuse a spouse or girlfriend. Disbelief that his career is being ruined by these lies. Disbelief that he has to appear in court in order to clear his name.

[@elizabethpatience6523]

I worked in mental health for many years as a an advocate and also am a survivor of a horrible dv situation very akin to what he went through. Many victims in an effort to not break in front of people from the memories often smile like he does. It's a defensive mechanism I catch myself doing still nearly 30 years post trauma. It keeps me from falling right into the PTSD mind. One therapist told me it's a wedge we place between now and the then.

As for Johnny smiling, the first time I went to a therapist and told him about painful parts of my life, he said "Do you realize you are smiling?" I said that's what my family expects me to do. It's just a way of coping with a bad situation. It's also a way of talking to other people who have never been through trauma.

[@skilletpan5674]

It's also pointing out how totally crazy and absurd something is. It's so crazy it's funny. Being able to laugh in the face of danger is a good coping mechanism as it stops you from just locking up from the situation. He also did the same thing in the "poo in the bed" part. He said he laughed because it was just so extremely disgusting and unexpected.

I'm so glad to hear you explain so much to the public,who Probably don't know or see what's really going on. I can't diagnose them but I'm thinking there's more deception from her than from him. And, any man who maintained years long relationships, and his exes have nothing bad to say about him, would most likely change as drastically as she claimed. Second,she would most likely split immediately after the first " event of aggression" where are the hospital/Er reports?? Police reports?? , Injuries from naked feet walking on broken glass?.

Too histrionic in her" breakup", with no tears, no dry mouth, needing to take sips of water,. No runny nose and Kleenex. ALSO,she dabbed her hanky BETWEEN her eyes, not wiping eyes or nose.

[@andyschool]

Greg, heard a commentator w ur interview on Newsmax ask how the judge could allow Depp to wear "sunglasses" in courtroom. He has monocular vision, legally blind in left eye as is my son. With 2D vision, looking at bright screens causes headaches & frequent floaties among a plethora of other things many who see w only 1 eye, have. The necessity to protect remaining seeing eye is imperative so good idea to always have some lens in any case, shaded outside & when reading quite necessary. Also, may require bifocals or assistance w vision in seeing eye. Nonetheless, his need to wear tinted lenses is something 99% or more monocular people are very familiar with. FYI.

[@imogenkerr899]

[@Lesaly]

Absolutely! I was diagnosed with Anosometropia (Amblyopic type) when I was 3 years old. I was very lucky to have had such early, high quality intervention…yet have still struggled with issues due to the condition throughout my adulthood. Photophobia (medical term for extreme sensitivity to bright lighting) has been an ongoing problem. I was diagnosed with Chronic Migraine years ago, and specifically, FL-41 tinted lenses are often deemed as being medically necessary for many fellow Migraineurs I know in various situations. I did not think twice about his use of tinted glasses in Court as I noted he was putting them on whilst looking directly at a bright electronic screen in front of him and removing them after viewing the screen. I myself have several different tools to help with Photophobia/preventing Migraine & Eyestrain from screens emitting bright/blue light. The Court is supposed to uphold these types of medically necessary accommodations.

[@Cwgrlup]

I wanted to add that when I was 27 I had a waterskiing accident and my thumb was cut off by a boat propeller. Johnny’s description of a traumatic amputation is spot on- all the way from no pain at the moment of amputation to shock when one sees the bone protruding from the injury is indicative of a sharp object suddenly cutting of the digit. This doesn’t happen on a crush injury or other type of digit loss. Johnny being initially unaware he lost his fingertip would be consistent also. As a person who’s experienced the same thing AND being a registered nurse, I have to say this is a shock response and also Johnny suffered significantly as the hand has more nerves than any other part of the body. In addition his MRSA infection could have become so serious he could have lost his hand or arm - or possibly ended up in ICU with a potentially fatal septic shock from MRSA. So Amber could have been prosecuted for a serious crime had Johnny wanted to go after her for this when it happened.

But they both were chaotic with each other. Heard doubled down by going public and playing wounded fawn when she was an aggressor. That's what's wrong here. She pretended she was an abused woman.

I think Johnny’s laugh/smile when he’s talking about his hand injury is a laugh or smile at the absurdity and utter disbelief of the extremity/severity of the situation. It’s as though he laughs at the futility of trying to explain Amber’s behavior to others. People don’t want to wrap their minds around the possibility that a seemingly rational person (as Amber appears to be to the public) would act the way that Amber does. I laugh and smile like this and that’s usually what I am thinking. My mother is a personality clone of Amber. Her behavior is eerily identical. ✅ Borderline personality disorder. ✅ Narcissistic behavior. ✅ Rapid cycling of emotions. ✅ Provocateur. ✅ Violent & Aggressive. ✅ Manipulative as hell. People often don’t believe me at first when I talk about things that happened in my childhood. It’s too much for them to imagine.

[@HettiedeKorteDiplomaat]

I can really relate to the way Depp tells the story. When you’re not an aggressive person and you’re confronted with a crazy borderliner, you can’t believe people act that way. You’ve no idea what’s going on and why somebody would act that way. Like when you deal with a narcissist, you can’t believe somebody can be that manipulative. Why would you act that way? It doesn’t make any sense to a normal person. It’s like you’re in a parallel universe when you deal with narcissist and borderliners. They thrive on conflict. It’s maddening.

I do not condone nor support any of Amber’s allegations, behavior, or attempts at higher social status using the ACLU and Me Too movement to further her reputation using false allegations; if Hollywood could strip her “status” I would be the first to sign the petition. I’m horrified that she has been labeled BPD because she is NOT indicative of us all. That said… As someone with BPD I can understand why you’d say that, however I’d like to impress upon people that for BPD’s there is a struggle between, a lack of personal identity, a constant fear of abandonment and the conflicts that arise out of that fear. People with BPD have EXTREME emotions and can range from utter rage to pure bliss in a matter of hours. The conflict arises when we feel like we’re about to be abandoned (justifiably or not) and our emotions escalate to extreme in .06 seconds. The person witnessing the extreme emotions, having no idea how to respond, typically respond in triggering ways that in turn escalates the rage. (for example, leaving) That’s where the conflict arises. Living with this disorder for so many years I have been able to “roadmap” these issues and offer people close to me various ways of de-escalating or diffusing or otherwise reacting in ways that allows us to move from rage back into bliss without damaging either’s “relationship rights”. I hate conflict, avoid it at all cost. However, if conflict arises I do have the wherewithal to mind my manners and not engage in any type of abusive behavior verbal, physical or otherwise. Please be mindful to remember people with BPD are not worse than anyone else they just need special accommodation and understanding. Amber’s behavior clearly is unacceptable, wholly unjustified and completely disgusting but I have to believe in my heart of hearts it’s because she never took the time, nor did her family take the time to diagnose her and encourage her to get the therapy she needs earlier in life, thus it’s easier to raise good children than fix broken adults. ❣️ ❤️ If you ever want to know why someone is acting a certain way, take the time to ask them. ❤️

Seeing the way Heard can just stare at Depp and have no fear response and almost unchanging expressions, really convinced me that there is no way he abused her. Plus the fact that in recordings of them she calls him names and says all sorts of instigative things.

No one is ever able to describe the real horror and helplessness of abuse. The abuse is numbingly loud, emotionally and physically painful, contemptuously dismissive, fearfully invasive, etc. To tell the story, you tell some details, but no one understands 1) the lead up to the abuse, 2) the accusations the abuser uses as justification for the abuse that is coming, 3) the out of control out-of-body response to being abused, 4) the fear of acknowledging and feeling the physical pain because the abuse may start again in you are to hurt, and 5) the forced emotional dampening required to not remind the abuser of what he/she did, and 6) the inability to find a safe place to suffer. Telling people about abuse also can never convey the sound of abuse. The hits, the yelling, the painful responses, the whimpers stifling the sound, the sound of a body hitting walls and furniture and the floor and the items on the tables, etc. The thing the movie "The Burning Bed" did right was the sounds of abuse.

The very measured, careful word choosing is a trait I've noticed in other abuse victims. When you are dealing with a disordered/high conflict/ abusive person, they will often be 'triggered' by certain words or phrases, using the 'incorrect' term or word can send them off into a tirade. So the person who is trying not to set off their abuser will measure words very carefully, keep the tone neutral and soft, and do everything they can to sound calm and soothing, nonconfrontational. The slips into saying 'you are getting hit'...he's depersonalizing in order to protect himself and his abuser, turning it into a third person recital of events rather than making it about what was done to him, what she did to him, because he knows that would be triggering to her, to admit to himself and to her that he felt abused. Would send her into another storm of abuse, or would be admitting to himself the shameful and 'unmanly' fact of being beaten by a woman. Y'all are dead-on about the smile. It's not duper's delight, it's not 'funny' it's a rictus, and the smile when asked if he had ever sexually assaulted her hurts him as deeply as every other incident that he responded to with the rictus-- recounting physical abuse, loss of career, loss of public approval/admiration, loss of reputation.

Johnny depp always had rings on. Her face would have been badly beaten to a pulp the way she says it happened, she had nothing but botox bruises. The end. Johnny is truth.

[@lauracrabb7169]

Even without the rings, if he had beaten her the way she claims she’d have been a bloody mess.

[@marcelgabrielcilidariu6813]

Not saying Johnny is a saint and might've done SOME physical violence, but the ratio between how many recordings she has, aka she is tech-savvy enough for that, and how many photos she's got showing proof of her abuse, is really suspicious to me. At worst that points out the level of abuse he has done was nowhere near to what she claims.

[@jacquipotgieter5821]

Johnny knows who he is. He doesn’t need to mirror anyone.

[@extreme-cm8hb]

There are so many women out there that DO get sexually and/or physically abused by their male partner. And this woman wants to accuse, and destroy the reputation of, someone SHE abused!!!! I think this woman, I use the term loosely, is vile. What's good for the goose is good for the gander - she deserves jail time for being abusive.

Cannot wait until you do Amber Heard. She started testimony today and I am not the expert but came off very disingenuous to me. Too dramatic and no tears but acting like she was crying. I am dying to hear your take on it.

Why does no one address that his drug and alcohol abuse may have been exasperbated because he was in an abusive, toxic relationship?

[@wiredforstereo]

For sure. You see it in the way emotes being at wits end, he doesn't know what to do except escape (and then she pursues him and starts fights to prevent him leaving, eventually she resorts to physical violence to prevent him leaving). He can't escape. All he can do is pop Roxies and nod off. It's his last escape. And then that's taken from him also.

I see your point. It is "exacerbated", though, not "exasperated", when referring to his drug and alcohol abuse.

Johnny Depp feels ridiculous to be in this awkward position on regard to domestic violence towards Amber Heard. He is totally innocent. She is a vindictive, jealous woman. I've experienced domestic violence. I am 66 years old and seen a lot of life. This man is INCREDIBLE. He is innocent!!

[@carmenc8103]

If you watch the testimony of Johnny's sister you can see the similarities in how they express themselves. I don't really think Johnny is "putting it on". Also, when you listen to the audio recordings made by Amber, when they are alone together, his verbal delivery is the same...why would he be putting on a character, or how would he do that in the middle of an argument? I disagree with alot of the conclusions here.

[@therealheatherharris]

I can confirm some of us were born with what I call the inappropriate smile syndrome. We smile when we're nervous, afraid, sad, angry... (Everyone knows to run the other way if I'm made and start smiling.) We aren't happy, amused, enjoying the situation, etc... we simply cannot stop it. I wish I could force myself not to do it.

I watched a friend of mine do the same thing as Amber is doing to Johnny. My friends husband had trouble talking about the way he was abused. I saw her throw a bottle at him and cut his head wide open then she blamed him. I finally had enough and called the police on her without her knowing. Police came and they finally arrested her. Our friendship ended because she was so abusive and would lie about it. Men can be abused. My friend so reminds me of Amber. So Mark I really disagree with you.

[@lornamurdocheaton624]

A guy who had been badly physically and emotionally abused by his (bigger and stronger) wife told me once that people don't realise how hard it is to be a male abuse victim, he said that women and children are rightfully supported, protected and defended when it comes to light that they have been mistreated but his experience was a complete lack of sympathy. He was told to "Grow a pair" or "Be a man" (he WAS a man, a gentle man who was taught to never hit a woman, even in retaliation). He was treated with scorn and derision and had absolutely no legal recourse. Of course he got out (eventually) and of course he had to pay a large proportion of his earnings over to his abuser each month. Sometimes we need to open our eyes to the fact that the preconceived ideas we have aren't always right.

[@ConnieLeinicke]

My brother also had trouble telling anyone he was being abused. After suffering over 2 years of non-stop abuse from his alcoholic wife, he came very close to telling me about his situation one night in a tearful phone call. But after a lot of hesitation all he could say was that they were “having trouble” and asked me how he could fix it. Then 6 mos later, she almost killied him one night with a hammer, and he had to call 911 to save his life. Later he told me he hesitated even then because he knew that 911 call would enrage her even more, set into motion a chain of legal events, and make everything he was going through public. And it did. Her DV trial is this summer. So JD not calling the police and trying to handle the AH situation privately is understandable from this perspective.

As a victim of domestic violence, that nearly took my life on 2 separate occasions, I have to say, she doesn’t act like a person who has been abused, in no way. Her recordings triggered me. After the divorce, she jumped into the dating pool? I am 22 years post divorce, I don’t/won’t date. She gives me that danger vibe and I was on her side before watching the trial.

I don't think he has been in the dating pool since all of this went down. She has gone through several relationships.

[@PettyPatty.TM.]

❤️ I am sorry you had to go through that. But I agree. I am 17 years post Physical/SA and she does not act like a victim at all. I too am getting danger/aggression/control vibes from her like an abuser trying to hold on to any control she can with her body language and he's giving me nervous/"I don't wanna be in the same room as her vibes" as a victim being intimidated by his abuser. And then the way she's sitting there...there's no stress about his presence, there's stress about this court hearing being real. I can tell you, the appointed psychologist I had with my case made me never want to trust another one. And the one that they put on the stand today definitely triggered my PTSD and I had to step away from the hearing video for a bit and take some of my meds. It was absolutely horrid to me.

[@leoneboyd965]

So agree with you, Karen McDonald! I survived a lifetime of domestic violence and cannot find any common ground with A.H who makes my skin crawl. She is so self-righteous and opinionated and aggressive ..... which are perpetrator traits! How 'experts' can miss the red flags which she constantly displays is beyond belief.

[@theangrypatient3732]

Yep. As a Harvard trained mental health professional and a DV survivor, I have to agree. While borderline has been over diagnosed, weaponized and used too frequently by old, male mental health professionals who are failures in their practice- the BPD dx is spot on. I hope this case is enough for her to open her eyes and gain treatments that work. She isn't a lost cause at all, in fact most BPD patients do achieve a level of normalcy as they get older but only if they are able to see the destruction they caused by their behavior and take steps to change. For everyone's sake, I hope she gets there too.

[@Ryotbh]

She has a history of DV as well. I'm not sure how anyone can listen to them both interviewed and come to the conclusion that she is the victim here. She portays anger, spite and aggression. He portrays timidity, fear and nervousness.
