[@ii-lq8qb]

Nah, you're adding fuel to the fire. Depp is soooo himself and charming for being sassy in court and wearing sunglasses but Amber is fake for the clothes she's wearing? Interesting you'd pull up a video of her visiting a refugee camp but ignore the video of him defending Polanski or being besties with abusers like Manson. You have a problem with how she articulates allegedly traumatic events like abuse and rape? Girl what? Do you really not know abusers are charming and victims come across badly because they are the traumatized ones? You are contributing to misogyny and misinformation and setting survivors back decades. There is an extremely sexist double standard here and I'm shocked you can't see it because your other videos have all been incredible. I've beenn subbed to you since you had 15k subscribers but I think that's about it for me.

Kiana, I swear I'm not dissing nor insulting you but, how is Babbel different or better than Rosetta Stone? If it's better than Rosetta, then I'm interested in Babbel cause I'm learning a new language too, Kiana. :)

[@ghostratsarah]

@@kenterminateddq5311 it is definitely better than Rosetta. Rosetta uses outdate methods, and a lot of their translations are inaccurate - they are functionally correct, but not natively. If that makes any sense. A native speaker would forgive a non native for talking that way but it would be really weird for natives to talk that way. I don't use babbel, but I do know they use modern tools and methods that are proven to work quick, and get you on the level of a native speaker. They don't assume your goal is solely to be a Hawaiian shirt tourist. Basically, considering the quality and price of newer methods, Rosetta has become a scam

I'm scared to watch this one. I adore you and am worried this might sully that 😆...Before I watch video, my thoughts are too many folks are falling for JD's bulls*t. If he was not famous, I think most would be disgusted by his behavior............................................................................................................................ AFTER VIDEO: I agree she is inauthentic, BUT by your own admission JD has been himself for 20 years, that means he started around age 38 (She is 36), so maybe in 20 years we might feel the same about her. I also think most who go into acting at an early age loose themselves and do not re-emerge authentic until their 40's (Jolie is a prime example). Again, she is fur sure trying to show her best side and has odd behavior, but him laughing, being smug and being what you call authentic, I view as disrespectful to the courts and the only other word is creepy and scummy.

The other thing about her "takeaway" from the week at the refugee camp: it was all about her. How it affected her. The impact it had on her. What it was like for her. Not the horrors she saw, not the suffering of these people, not their immense personal strength under these trials, but how she was affected by their suffering. Also, her compliments for Johnny in that early interview were about him being "celebrated" and "acclaimed", all descriptions of his personal attributes were vague, almost to the point of being meaningless. Both of these characteristics scream narcissism to me. She chose Johnny as a partner because he was both acclaimed and kind. The perfect catch for a narcissist.

[@joannachen76]

Eh, that refugee camp takeaway doesn't really mean anything, she was probably just replying to an interview question.

True. A couple saying goodbye forever, a parent's pain at losing a child, even an old man reunited with his dog...someone else's distress triggers our own (unless you're a sociopath). Particularly for we men...if a man sees a pretty girl in distress, our instinct is to rush to help, or at least have a LOT of empathy. "HEY! Are you OK....?!?!" But with Amber Heard...I just felt nothing. Even though I came into this trial believing Depp was a wife-beater and this pretty girl was a victim. She's the most fake, manipulative and devious human being I've ever seen. She's just horrific.

Anger doesn't describe how I felt watching the trial. Embarrassment seems more accurate. It makes you feel a lot of pity towards her for not being more self aware. There's a general sense of cringe and confusion from not understanding what she is trying to say in most instances. I think it's because she talks like she is reciting a script.

There is authenticity in your strange behaviour too. My brother is also autistic, and all though the way his body language relates to his emotions is _different_ than that of others, it is still authentic to him! It's okay to deliberately try to show your emotions more clearly, but the moment you purposely try to show people inauthentic emotions (like pretending to feel a specific emotion in order to fit into the situation), it will feel off.

But that didn’t stop her from calling Paparazzi on herself to get ‘candid’ outfit photos as she leaves events or airports.

It reminds me of O.J. Simpson's civil trial.

[@peachila]

As a true-crime watcher, I have noticed this inauthenticity is often aimed at women. This trial reminded me of all these so-called body language experts (which is pseudoscience btw) analyzing people like Amanda Knox. I believe people see more inauthenticity in women. And when they do try to be more real (e.g. Anita Hill), people still say that they are just really good liars trying to get money/revenge/etc.

[@EnglishLoveMuffin]

Okay, you bring up an excellent case that inauthenticity is often aimed at women. I mean for a long time women had to prove that they fought their rapists with everything they had in them during court cases. Of course, this circumstance varies in the criminal justice system (see the scottsboro boys). I think it is terrible, and it feels terrible. However, I’m also conflicted with Heard. I do not judge her by her body language. I judge her by the fact that her stories do not match up with her picture evidence(s) and other people’s testimonies. I judge her by her lies of saying that make up, ice, and cream can hide away horrific incidents of black eyes, broken noises, and swelling. I judge her by the fact that she can’t admit that she lied in the UK court, and she did not donate any of the $7 million to the ACLU and a children’s hospital. I judge her by the fact that she wants to demonize Depp’s drug abuse and addiction, but she also has her own drug abuse and addiction problems that are methods of “coping.” When it comes to Heard, she brings up a lot of red flags that I, personally, can’t overlook.

[@henueve]

I agree with you. Different behaviour is expected from women and men even though we wouldn't acknowledge it. If Amber Heard was acting like Johnny Depp (smirking, laughing, not showing much negative emotions) people would probably still make negative comments about her. I'm not taking a stand who's the victim and who's the criminal here, but I must say that Heard's behaviour has gotten a lot media attention - and I'm not sure is it necessary for this case to be solved.

[@yawninghamster7238]

Frankly, I think the media deserves to be eviscerated for the tacky, outrageous, sensationalist approach they always take to things like court cases, news, politics, etc. They're so blindly driven by attention seeking and money that the truth, regardless of what it is, does not matter to them, and that's a huge problem for all of us.

[@Conformist138]

Today, during closing statements, there were some moments that really made me wonder if she was going to genuinely cry, particularly when Camille Vasquez says "She's the sort of person would lie about being raped," or something to similar effect. I was really starting to think she was really going to cry and I was contemplating feeling bad for her. Then... it turned off! Like a switch was flipped, she looks at someone behind her and is smiling, and not in a "covering my feelings" sort of way. Then, since I was watching a split screen that also showed Johnny, I focused on him. Within 30 seconds, my heart hurt. He was so still and stoic, but there were these twitches that he couldn't quite control on the side of his neck and near his temple. I could just feel the tension and the distress. I can't say the exact nature of his distress (fear? sadness? anger?), but it felt very real, in a way that actors can't usually maintain for hours and hours on end. I can't "know" what happened in their relationship, but I can't help but feel that this trial genuinely means more to him than to her, which feels so strange for a person who is supposed to be defending her right to speak about being brutalized by a man who is in the courtroom with her. Then, they play those audio tapes, and I wash my hands of her. Into the bin!

[@stevepalpatine2828]

Johnny was rocking back and forward slightly like a genuine trauma victim and looked like he was gonna puke at times, and then on the other side of the room shes sitting there with this shit eating grin looking smug. She's a vile person. That audio of her provoking and belittling him and cackling like a witch is the real her. She's horrible.

[@MissMalevolent]

[@stevepalpatine2828]

@@MissMalevolent Yup, the rocking is a subconscious comforting thing, and the only time I've seen that is in people that have been through genuine trauma, it wasn't excessive and exaggerated, it was almost like he wasn't aware of it himself, and he had that thousand yard stare thing going on, I think this whole thing has been far harder on him than he lets on. Contrast that on the far side of the room, with the Turd smirking and giggling, and staring down people, or looking right into the camera with a raised eyebrow and a shit eating grin, and then consider her overblown performance of grief and shock on the stand where she attempted to mimic human emotions, and suddenly reverted to flat and emotionless when an objection was called, and then jumping straight back into to the mime act like a director called action when the objection was resolved, and it's not hard to see who the real victim is here, and thats just a body language read, without getting into her lies and lack of evidence. And contrast that mime act of emotion on the stand to her attitude in the filmed deposition from 2016, when Metoo was at its height and she thought she was winning, and you'll learn all a person needs to know about the Turd.

[@MissMalevolent]

@Steve Palpatine Exactly, the rocking was definitely subconscious. When Camille started her closing, he wasn't rocking....but as she went on into the particulars you started to see that very imperceptible rock that he just couldn't control. Compare and contrast Amber taking fake notes, smirking etc...it was kind of disgusting actually how destroyed he seemed to be, while her flippant behavior was on full display.

[@-._.-KRiS-._.-]

@@stevepalpatine2828 Also, I noticed that whenever she mimicked the physical attacks and things she claimed happened to her, she would act them out as if she was the one performing them. She reached out her hands and mimed 'choking' (as if she was the one choking someone) while describing being choked. Shouldn't she have raised her hands to her own neck as a defensive reflex and to also show she was on the receiving end? I think there may have also been a 'headbutt' moment where she acted as if she was doing the headbutting instead of throwing her head backward as if she had just been headbutted. Her words described she was receiving abuse but her physical actions described being the aggressor. This doesn't necessarily mean she did these things to Depp, but it sure does make it look like she's, at the very least, making it up. I know when I add physicality to a story I'm telling about something that happened _to_ me, I reenact with reactionary movements. If the story is about me dodging a punch, I wouldn't throw a punch in the air with my arm, I would act as if I'm dodging out of the way. Apologies if what I just wrote isn't very clear or succinct. I'm very tired right now. Just wanted to get my thoughts and observations out.

[@sbo3]

One of the things that stands out to me is that is NEVER reacts to anything the witnesses are saying. Even when Johnny was on the stand she would just sometimes look down. On the flip side, Johnny would scoff, laugh, look confused, in disbelief...all reactions that I would totally make if I was hearing such BS about myself. Who wouldn't? Edit- Actually the only time I've seen her react was during her UK deposition which was when recordings were being played to her she would roll her eyes or laugh. Which is interesting because you'd think the one part you wouldn't react to would be a recording seeing as there's nothing of surprise there or anything...

[@AliRadicali]

I think a major component of Heard's unlikability on the stand is the fact that she's almost certainly lying about the overt violence that is at the heart of her accusation. Her claims simply defy credulity, especially if you add the complete lack of evidence, and doubly so if you factor in her penchant for meticulously documenting/staging things that make Depp look bad. She must think everyone was born yesterday to try to sell such a one-sided and on its face implausible narrative, which in turn suggests to me that when she can't lie or gaslight herself out of a situation, she will use that killer personality of hers to force people to just accept whatever lies she's telling just to avoid the psycho-drama. If lying hadn't worked for Heard in the past she wouldn't be doing it now.

Great video. As someone who has been abused by a woman, I saw a lot of that behavior in my abuser. She was very "fake" and often used excuses relating to her authenticity when she abused me. "I'm finally being honest, calling you a pig, isn't that what you wanted?" "You're the only person who knows the REAL me, so you can't leave." "I have to control myself ALL THE TIME, and I won't do that with you! I shouldn't have to hold my hands back if you upset me!" It was a tactic. I understood that my abuser had horrible self-esteem. And she struggled deeply with her true self. But in the end, those were reasons for her abuse, not excuses. I didn't deserve a life of insults and bruises to accommodate her insecurity, and in my personal opinion, Johnny didn't either. (I'm glad I'm not on that jury.

[@pianoimpact7699]

I think Amber is in the camp of being unable to express authenticity. I don’t think she’s so unaware of her own emotions that she doesn’t know what to express because usually when someone is like that they have difficulty being purposefully fake in the first place, they can appear angry because they are angry and everyone knows they are angry except for themselves. Those who know their emotions but don’t want to or in Amber’s case compulsively cannot express them or show them to the world are constantly betraying their actual emotions which is what Amber seems to be doing. Her acting isn’t relaxed and her cadence is often explanatory and clinical meanwhile she seems to be suffering as she says whatever she says, just not a suffering from past trauma but rather a shallow/minor suffering of the current moment having to once again compulsively shove herself down in favor of the self she thinks she needs to be. You can’t relax and perform well when your emotions don’t match your acting (or any performance skill). It’s why her acting is subpar even after years of practice. She has a fundamental problem at her core which prevents her from releasing a convincing, relaxed, or natural seeming performance. She seems to be better at gaslighting than she is acting

multiple things can be true at once. You can be a woman and misogynistic you can be an abuse victim and be misogynistic and abuse isn't black or white it isn't a team game that one person wins.

Some people act one way some act another. When you spend your whole life dealing with mental illness trying to fit in sometimes it's hard to allow your emotions to show through and no I'm not talking about Amber specifically. At the end of the day we will never truly know what happened but is it not at all suspicious that jonny chose to sue in a state that allowed televised Court cases? Is it not a stereotype of abusers that everyone loves them and they're popular and respected and then they go back home and abuse their loved ones?

@@fishtie894 My point was simply that men who tell women they're being misogynists for not believing Heard without being informed are condescending. I said nothing about teams or winning. People who take a side and stay there no matter what aren't helping. However, neither is saying both sides are equally bad without explanation. Depp has clearly said gross things about Heard to his friends, that's obviously not okay. But saying gross things is not the same as the intense physical and sexual abuse Heard described. Meanwhile, Heard is actually on tape admitting to hitting Depp, and not in self-defense. Yet so many people ignore those tapes. Is it any wonder Depp wanted the trial public? It's true that people make cruel assumptions about people with mental illness. People also make cruel assumptions about people who take drugs, which is what Heard's legal team is leaning on for "evidence". As you said, these things aren't black and white.

Honestly, make it make sense without victim shaming, demonizing substance abuse & ignoring the tapes where she literally taunts & gaslights him. I think people see themselves in AH & are driven to defend her & that is called projection. I'm doing it too with JD but I am fully admitting it. I've tried hard to be a good person despite the abuse I've experienced but I still go to therapy to face my demons. I'm trying. I can't say the same for AH because sometimes people's behavior hurt other people more than themselves. And that's how I determine abuse - it is more black & white than you want to believe. External blaming vs internal blaming. External blamers are much more abusive.

It has been pretty disgusting the way even self-professed feminists victim-blame Depp for the finger injury. As much as I hate the drama, this trial has also been very illuminating in a few ways.

I just have to say this: my mother has Narcissistic/Borderline Personality Disorder and Amber is her clone. Camille was right in her closing statements - Amber Heard is absolutely the type of person who would lie about SA, or anything in the world to suit her needs or wants in the moment. all I'm saying is this: knowing someone like Amber in real life is the only evidence I need of her abusive nature, and the same is true for many other people who know someone with BPD, or NPD, like Amber in their own lives. to me, the most telling clip is the one where Amber stops an interview to barely hold back her thinly veiled fury at her assistant because apparently a couple of people had walked through a doorway during her hotel room interview - if the camera had not been rolling, Amber would have started verbally and/or physically abusing that assistant for nothing. who cares if a couple people are walking around in a hotel room where a filmed interview is taking place? of course people are walking around - there's probably a film crew present, as well as hair and makeup. would you start abusing your assistant over something so dumb, or even be bothered by it? obviously not. but I recognize that behavior instantly, because I saw it on a daily basis for most of my young life - that thinly veiled, barely concealed rage at someone in public who has done basically nothing wrong - the lips pressed into a thin angry line, the condescending tone, the furious expression in the eyes, the snap in her voice, the self righteous attitude coupled with behavior that is obviously morally wrong which makes the self righteousness that much more bizarre, the extreme selfishness, the total lack of awareness of the fact that becoming enraged over nothing is not normal and is very off putting to others, the complete 180 degree difference between the very authentic, abusive way Amber addresses her assistant and the instant fake smile that doesn't reach her eyes that she puts on for the interviewer, the fact that Amber genuinely doesn't realize that snapping violently on her assistant then flipping a public relations fake smile switch to go back to the interview will be perceived very negatively by everyone in the room... Amber is generally just a total monster to other people, and she has no doubt been on an unwarranted, delusional power trip for the majority of her life, even though she's trash and holds no power of any kind, and she can't control her irrational anger or her impulses - she doesn't understand normal human behavior or interaction, and is filled with irrational rage at anyone who doesn't worship the ground she walks on, and she believes that any bad behavior she ever engages in should never be mentioned again, or even recognized by others as undesirable or unacceptable, but that others deserve abuse for even crossing her path slightly, and that she should never be called on her lies which have quickly become delusions and/or a false reality, but rather, everyone should just embrace and begin living in the false reality that she has created for herself, and that no one ever has a right to abandon her no matter how severe the abuse they've endured, otherwise they're 'betraying' her and deserve the worst life has to offer... Amber is the type of person that truly believes that if someone won't worship her, and cling to her, that they are betraying her and deserve to be destroyed. she can't just let someone go, or recognize any wrongs on her part that might drive someone away in order to make amends. my mother used to verbally abuse my sister, or make my sister crawl around on the ground and wipe the clean floors with a dry rag for over an hour for no reason, then while my sister was still crying from the abuse, she would vindictively force my sister to come over and give her a hug, just because she could. keep in mind that my sister was only around 5 years old at the time... Amber is my mom's clone - Amber is a horrible person, hands down. I really hope CPS looks very, very closely at her. that child she adopted is being set up for a lifetime of abuse, and Amber only adopted the child to use it as a public relations pawn to begin with - Amber is truly that evil and self centered. the moment that child begins to develop a personality of their own and isn't just a little bundle for Amber to hold whenever she feels like it, that's when the abuse will begin. my heart breaks for that child. no child should ever have to endure what my sister and I endured, and yet I know that Amber's child will endure that same abuse. it will be a thousand wonders if the child survives - my sister and I nearly didn't. thankfully, we were rescued by our grandparents and adopted by them out of the temporary foster home we had been placed in at a relatively young age, so we didn't have to see my mom that often anymore. I hope Amber's child can also be rescued from her soon.

Her body language is incongruent with her words. At one point when she was trying to cry she wiped her eyebrows instead of her eyes. She also doesn't turtle when she's supposed to be traumatised. Johnny tends to do it more, so he appears as the victim. She glares at him, the jury, JD looks down.

[@morganebrun6669]

Johnny has literally been beyond cocky and laughed throughout the entire thing. Regardless of whose 'side' you're on - please. None of his behaviour screams trauma. He seems exceedingly at ease and somewhat mocking of the whole thing. I mean, come on. You have so much other stuff to point to! I'd LOVE to see an example of where he looks so very traumatised. He looks like he's having the time of his goddamn life.

I feel like since the whole ordeal I had to hear even more horrible things about people with BPD.

[@spicyhottakes]

Yeah I’m sorry to hear that. There is a big stigma around it. But it’s true that if left untreated and very severe, it can manifest the way it does in Amber (meaning, it’s relevant to the trial and I understand why they brought it up). I just wish people would realize this is unique to her, and her behavior doesn’t apply to everyone with BPD.

[@snailart14]

I'm sorry, and you're right. I work in a grouphome as a PCA and if it isn't treated, it truly is awful. We live in a weird time of being more aware of mental illness but many still do not have the resources to properly handle and cope with BPD either. It's hard. I've had like 3 friendships that didn't work out because, well, many reasons, but not going to therapy or taking their medications added onto why things didn't work out. It's really hard because it needs to be managed though, or relationships will not work.

[@spicyhottakes]

@@snailart14 Yeah absolutely. I had a therapist who I asked about BPD while I was in college because I related to a lot of the symptoms. She said that while I did have traits, she was hesitant to actually diagnose me because I 1. didn't have enough traits to be diagnosable & 2. because of the stigma it would come with for the rest of my life. I mention this because I know from the inside how toxic this kind of mentality can be. I've worked on myself a ton and am in a great relationship now, have a good career, etc. I'm stable basically lol. So I know it's possible, but it can be so, so ugly if you just let it run amok.

@@spicyhottakes It's great that you took the time to invest in yourself. I imagine there were quite a few bumps in the road, but the fact that you've made great strides speaks volumes about your character. And you're right about mental conditions such as BPD manifesting itself in different ways in different people. It's a complex issue and we're all still learning more about it by the day.

[@spicyhottakes]

@Joel A. Yeah honestly I'm guessing a lot of the people who still support her do so because they see themselves in her. I do too, to an extent, although I never have or would do the things she's done. I do understand her mentality and where it's come from, but there is absolutely no excuse for refusing to heal herself and pushing her darkness onto others. Again, I wasn't even technically diagnosable, didn't meet the criteria, but a lot of BPD comes from not having secure emotional attachments early in life. Because of that, the manipulation etc. that you see in BPD is a coping mechanism designed to prevent people from leaving you. That's why Amber gets so upset when Johnny walks away in the recordings. But the cruel irony of BPD is that, while the person suffering from it might not even fully realize what they're doing, and might truly believe they're the victim, their sickness prevents anyone from connecting with them in a true way and forming secure attachments with them. It feels very vulnerable and very, very difficult to put away all the coping mechanisms, take responsibility for yourself, and try to connect with people/create attachments with people in a healthy and authentic way. But it's the only way out of the hell that is BPD, both for the sufferer & everyone around them.

I’m only part way in but I’m loving your analysis (like always).

I watched the entire trial and by all I mean all (never ever doing something like that again cause its soooooo freaking long) including from her last trial and the finger clip. I started out with a not on anybodys side. But…..Its all of it. The inconsistency. The lack of evidence to the alleged crime. The bodylanguage. The evidence that does not match up. The witness statements that dont match up. The lack of ANY medical exam during what happened but also the fact that no medical exam was done before trial to prove direct statements before trial. Those horrid audiotapes. That she does not admit to anything, just spins it around. Sometimes it might fit. Sometimes it doesnt. And sometimes it is plain stupid. (pledge is the same as donated) The lack of logic. I was expecting lack of evidence as might happen in a DV case. Not that the evidence does not match, cant be proven to be legit or simply does not seem credible. I wanted to believe her. Cause then it would be simple. But I cant.

[@siriuslyconfused1]

Everything Johnny Depp says feels like he was only prepared very lightly for this, he pauses, gets confused, and acts no differently on cross versus his own team’s examination. Meanwhile, Amber seems scripted, like she practiced and watched the practice on video to carefully control even the tiniest reaction when her team is questioning her, but when on cross she comes off defensive, and like she’s switched to improv, and isn’t as good at it. She could be a histrionic person who is telling the truth, though I feel as if the evidence points to her telling partial truths.

[@starlette7820]

She also completely denies any possible flaws or wrongdoings on her end, she always tries to frame everything as being johnny's fault, and her just trying to be a good wife, and a perfect person. Like when she claimed she took that photo of him passed out in tokyo japan to show him the next day so he'd know what happened, but then there was evidence of her texting the photo to a friend to mock johnny like a complete cuntbag. And whenever things like this are pointed out to her she acts like she cant even recall doing that, like somehow she just has a random blackout and does something mean without realizing it? lmao Johnny is open and honest about his flaws and his wrongdoings, he admits to awful things hes done even in his childhood like stealing his mothers prescription medication to use for himself. He never tries to hide any of the bad things hes done. But Amber lies about doing drugs and her alcohol consumption, only for both her and johnny's witnesses to confirm that she has done many drugs and drinks a LOT of wine so she is only then forced to tell the truth. I have never met a person in my life who was a good person who concealed their flaws to this degree or tried to spin them into something positive. It truly is insane watching her just purger herself over and over again and blatantly lie under oath and think it's a good idea.

Yea, it feels to me like what really ruined her case was just that everything she's saying is amped up, all of her stories are exaggerated, she's combative and can't take an ounce of accountability, every single thing has an excuse. What sucks for her is that even if some of her claims are true, she's blown so many things out of proportion that it makes all of it look untrue and inauthentic. If he ever did grab her aggressively or push her or slap her it's all diminished by the much grander accusations that her evidence doesn't back up, like the broken nose or being dragged over broken glass, just to name a few. Her story is inconsistent. There's no way to know with certainty if Johnny ever physically or emotionally abused her, but any person in their right mind can see that at least most of her allegations just don't add up with the level of abuse she claims she received, which put all of the allegations up for scrutiny. Her best chance of winning this case would have been sticking to a story that he was emotionally or psychologically abusive, but the longer she spoke the more she had to pile on. It makes it feel not as though she's telling an honest story, but that she is willing to say or do anything to absolutely ruin his life and reputation. It doesn't come off as a genuine survivor, but just someone who will do anything for revenge, and that's just a really really bad look.

[@evachen4969]

I love the approach you took with this video! It's interesting to think about how subconscious our judgments about authenticity can be and apply that to the public's perception of Amber Heard. I haven't really been following the case but have seen several clips judging Amber's "fake crying" or responses to difficult questions and felt that I didn't know her well enough to judge the authenticity of her behavior. Now, being shown Amber's pattern of inauthentic behavior in this video does give a lot more context to those clips and how people feel about her. I really appreciate your disclaimer at the end as well! I hope that due process will allow for the right decision to be made in Johnny and Amber's legal battle.

Conversely, easier to believe Johnny.

Caught in lies AND with no visible injuries while Mr. Depp has a missing finger(or part of a missing finger?) and pictures of bruises from her attacks on him. The lawyers did a good job shining light onto the fact that she claimed a broken nose, injuries on her back and her face but the next day they were "magically" gone. I would also say, that yes, we feel in the right because clearly she lies oftenand gets caught out, again and again. That´s her own fault and doing.

As an autistic person who has to mask i really hope people don't perceive me like Amber 😅

[@EEmB]

I can almost with a certainty say it doesn't! There is an other level to this, that is hard to explain. It's the overly dramatasation that Amber always says and does, that doesn't come with "just masking" from someone at the spectrum. There is also (to some of us) obvious signs of her signaling, with her micro expressions and body language, that she think she is better than everyone else, that others are beneath her. That is something we can pick up on at most people don't like that. It's also a coldness and meanness to her, that doesn't come with masking, cause masking when on the spectrum usually comes from a place of being neutral in a way. But when Amber does it for very different reasons and most people can tell the difference. Someone masking when in the spectrum are not trying to hide their mean or evil traits, while Amber are. It's a bit hard to explain, but I hope this answer helped you!

I'm not an expert but as far as I know (please correct me if I'm wrong as I by no means want to spread misinformation about a mental illness) a histronic personality disorder is when people come off as ✨overly dramatic ✨ They also make up situations about things that happened or they take something that actually happened to OTHER people and make it theirs, also things that actually happened to them but they make it more dramatic than it was. I think HPD also belongs to the cluster-b spectrum like NPD and BPD but I'm not sure about that.

The problem with this idea of authenticity is that we automatically associate it with being narcissistic and abusive and that what we perceive to be authentic and inauthentic is truly authentic when in actuality we could be wrong. As an autistic adult (and a lot of us do this), there are times when I have to perform a version of myself to achieve a desired social outcome between those; this performance may not be my entire personality but much rather filtering out behaviours that I know are collectively unacceptable to prevent upsetting/discomforting others. With Amber Heard, it may be that she is anticipating being up against the cult following of Johnny Depp (who has a much larger and more dedicated following) and a misogynistic "justice" system that rarely supports victims of sexual and gender based violence and doesn't believe that being her authentic self fits into the perfect victim archetype that will help her succeed in court.
