The Johnny Depp trial 2022 - Johnny Depp Amber Heard court battle -- Johnny Depp trial live
Although their marriage lasted a matter of months, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's relationship spanned more than a decade. The defamation case brought by actor Johnny Depp against his ex-wife Amber Heard is ongoing and will likely take weeks to conclude. But what preceded the case? Depp and Heard's relationship began more than a decade ago, and eventually devolved into what appears to have been a toxic marriage. The couple split in 2016, but have continued to battle in court over an op-ed Heard wrote for The Washington Post in 2018, in which she described surviving DV -- without mentioning Depp by name. Depp is suing for $50 million in damages and denies ever being physical with Heard. Heard is countersuing for $100 million and claims she was only ever physically aggressive with Depp in self-defense or defense of her younger sister.
Borderline personality disorder is a mental health disorder that impacts the way you think and feel about yourself and others, causing problems functioning in everyday life. It includes self-image issues, difficulty managing emotions and behavior, and a pattern of unstable relationships. With borderline personality disorder, you have an intense fear of abandonment or instability, and you may have difficulty tolerating being alone. Yet inappropriate anger, impulsiveness and frequent mood swings may push others away, even though you want to have loving and lasting relationships.
Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive attention-seeking behaviors, usually beginning in early childhood, including inappropriate seduction and an excessive desire for approval.
The Behavior Panel comprises four top body language and behavior experts: Scott Rouse, Mark Bowden, Chase Hughes, and Greg Hartley. They analyze behavior and body language in public interest videos. This non-partisan group aims to educate and entertain, focusing on nonverbal communication, deception detection, behavioral analysis, statement analysis, interrogation, and resistance to interrogation. Through careful examination of gestures, expressions, and cultural context, they reveal truths and deceptions. The Behavior Panel is prominently featured on The Dr. Phil Show.

[@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.....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

She’s a pariah amongst women. I’ve survived long term abuse and amazing support organizations helped me. She is not - from my experience and education - an abused woman. She’s terrifying and a threat but can not act like a victim. I and other women I know are NOT responding to what she’s doing or how she’s presenting herself. Johnny is for real abused - it resonates with my own and other women I know very deeply. What he’s doing takes an enormous amount of courage.

[@gaganorthofthe49th62]

As a woman who has escaped an abusive relationship, the breakdown Johnny describes is the madness you get driven to by the constant rollercoaster of living with an abuser. We should stand behind JD as we do for all the women who are abused by their male partners.

[@KimS-ud9hm]

It is such a shame that as a society we still haven’t evolved enough to take female on male domestic violence seriously. Having someone with the kind of reach that JD has might just turn things around. I’m hopeful.

[@BedtimeStorieswithBelaLugosi]

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. She and Johnny were fire and intense in their relationship and they both should have walked away from the relationship without going public with a dog whistle. Johnny did that. Amber didn't. But I don't think it makes Johnny a poster child for abuse. Dorothy Stratten was abused. These two abused each other.

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.

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.

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.

My brain was saying "it's okay, it's not him, just a random customer " and my heart and whole body was screaming at me to run out of the restaurant and get as far away as possible. 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. When I was with my ex, there was no way in hell I would ever say something that could cause him to be upset. Never ever ever. No way would I want to start a fight with him if it was avoidable.

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. ❤️

She has a strange dip of the head and swerve to the right. I think she only feels pain when it threatens her delusional world and her perception of herself. I think she had a brief moment when she realised that despite her actions, this man really cared for her. She knows that she has issues. You can see that she looks visibly traumatized by Johnny's description of how she caused him to injure his finger but when he leaves the subject, she immediately focuses on the semantics of what happened next, making notes. The same is true when she sees his injuries, not a flicker of emotion. So the emotional response is to the attack on her character and her delusional world in which she is this wonderful wronged person, which then starts to crumble. When a narcissist feels like they are losing they go on the attack. I believe she knew the chips were down a long time ago and started this vendetta against Johnny. Narcs don't like to lose. She has to invent this abusive persona for Johnny because it is her way of getting him back because he has abandoned her. He no longer wants her. She was jealous of everything that took him away from her, even if that meant alcohol or drugs. They don't see that they themselves might be causing this because they are so focused on their own feelings and what they see as rejection. My partner broke my laptops and scratched pc disks, my attention had to be on her all the time. That meant no friends, no job, just me and her. When she thought I was leaving, she concocted abuse and had me arrested, I spent three months in a hotel. Did she keep away? No, quite the reverse. She would sit in the car outside, ringing and ringing until I spoke to her. She even begged the police to withdraw the complaint. The case was thrown out of court and she thought everything would just go back to normal, even though she was proven to have lied. She couldn't see the damage it had done to me. I believe this is Ms. Heard in a nutshell. My partner projected a view of herself as a lovely, helpful person, whilst she was anything but, to me, even stealing from me. When they feel like you have told someone something negative about them they will counteract this with character assassination and their version of the truth. It's a delusional view of themselves that, when threatened, they will go on to the offensive. They have to maintain that delusion because they don't like what they really are, The more they are ignored, the more extreme their abuse. I see her in Ms. Heard. It is remarkable how similar this case is to my own experiences. You don't leave this kind of person, they leave you, and boy are you going to pay for rejecting them. I think this was a dysfunctionalI relationship and neither of them are a saint but I do see a narcissist in Ms. Heard., having had 28 years with one.

I was raised by 2 narcissists. It made me so sick I was seeing people with blue square heads and green triangles coming out of their heads, lived in a pink iridescent bubble & many other anomalies. I survived it and am at peace now that I understand the cause of narcissism. They had painful traumas in their own early childhoods which caused them to shut off their feeling anything. They remained 4-1/2 year-old emotionally stunted brats for the remainder of their lives.

Scott when you asked why didn’t Depp call the Police it’s because he knew the entire world would hear about it in 24 hours and he’s an extremely private and introverted man! Amber destroyed any chance Johnny had at staying Sober while with that lunatic! 😳

[@Lyxuria]

He might have slapped or pushed her in self defense, there's evidence that she have hit him and verbally abuse him and a man have right to defend himself just as much as a woman have and this is coming from me. I've been abused for real before, my ex even tried to hang me one time, burned cigarettes on me etc. You name it, he did it. If a woman attacks a man, the man have the right to defend himself with force that's necessary to make her stop, for him to get away or to get her to leave him alone. It's ridiculous to say a man never have the right to put their hands on a woman. It's just as bad for a woman to hit a man as it's bad for man to hit a woman, period.

[@nellyvieira9496]

I don't believe he ever slapped her but I'm sure he had to push her away a few times in order to get away from her.

[@franceswangel9718]

There’s a video on KZbin of Amber on a talk show. She unequivocally states she HAS donated $7 million to two charities. States dramatically “I wanted nothing.” This is going to come back to haunt her now that the truth of the ‘donations’ has come out.

[@jazz5132]

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.

This is normal for certain people to do that to move on in a positive light. Very healthy mindset and being able to move on from past trauma. The other trauma you try to forget because you cannot believe that what happened, has happened or why it's happening to you.

Just imagine how difficult it would be for an addict in recovery to try and stay sober with a wife like that at home, plotting, planning, twisting words all for your destruction and a pay check. Never mind staying sober, how about simply trusting anyone in a romantic relationship again or atleast not until a tonne of therapy has gone by.

During his testimony it's the only time she weirdly stares at him the entire time. She never looks away from him. It's creepy, Amber is creepy. Other testimonials she scribbles and smiles with her tiny teeth, basically she could care less about what they have to say. But she is mesmerized by him and refuses to look away. She should be ashamed.

[@PNWCagey-Dub]

That’s the same thing (look) that Jada sent Will to get him to walk up and slap Chris. It’s the “im going to make you really uncomfortable and there will be consequences AKA: abusive behavior, if you don’t do what I want right now.”She wanted him to get distracted, say the wrong words, try for sympathy (like when he didn’t tell the truth about his cut off finger tip to the ER dr because he didn’t want her to get in trouble) push his buttons, pull on his heart strings…basically was trying to get any reaction from him to get him to shut up or say something that can be used against him in cross exam. It’s part of the abuse tactic and cycle.

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.

❤️ 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.

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.

As a school psychologist, I have often heard older students of child abuse say things like “Wow, he broke my arm that time. I just looked at it and thought” well now everyone will know”! Deep was very abused as a child and can disassociate from the pain for self protection. Thus “”I could see the bone” all of his roles have background of sadness. Scissor hands is a perfect example of a search for safety.
