Their therapist said that the relationship was mutually abusive, there isn’t a clear cut victim or perpetrator. Which is why the whole media circus around the trial has been kind of gross.
It was two people in an abusive relationship who’ve now dragged all the baggage out into public. It’s sad and the way people have been hashtag picking sides over it is weird.

So the whole case was about accusations of sexual violence and IPV. Keep on digging, see if there's any actual evidence against Depp (there's plenty against Heard, mostly from her own mouth!) then look for evidence of how credible she is, if she's lied about anything, or maybe if she has a history of Abusing partners... etc...
I get it though - It's pretty easy to just look at them and think "he's an older man who has a drug problem and he's a bit odd and she's a pretty young woman. Clearly he's the abuser." Or "well they both must be abusers because they're both a bit odd".
Re: Amber Heards Career
I have seen stuff about the case, it's been impossible to avoid on Twitter. I'm just not as interested in seeing famous people be miserable as a lot of people seem to be.
It seems like one of those situations where people are using a situation where there is some valid criticism of a woman to flex some old fashioned misogyny though.

The point being, if there was a single bit of evidence that proved a single instance of sexual abuse or IPV, then Heard would have won and rightly so.
There were lots of proved instances of Heard violently abusing Depp though - lots from Heard herself.

What did surprise me was the recordings she took of him trying to get away from the arguments, him hiding in toilets and her trying to break in, her winding him up and somehow she thought this was proof he was an abuser and it would help her?
I really expected much more evidence of him being a bit mental, considering the huge amount of photos she took there was just no evidence.
Also the $15,000,000 in damages is false, it’s only $10,350,000 as the limit was 350,000 for punitive damages.
Dave!

Have some compassion chaps. Let's not forget that her dog stepped on a bee.
Re: Amber Heards Career
It won’t matter…
Women accuses a man of stuff…
He’s Guilty?? Stone him to death.
She’s guilty of lying?? Show her some compassion or else you’re misogynistic!
Etc…
It’s their code!

I'm just curious as to why Dinny seems to have gone completely hysterical about what I've said.

I think he’s taking the piss at your default woke stance despite evidence to the contrary that you’ve admitted to not paying any attention to.

Not really, I stopped discussing the trial. I was more curious about Dinny's outburst. Just a bit slow on the uptake today

Re: Amber Heards Career
Thats fine if you're slow on the uptake, but Dinny was right - you made statements about a case you knew very little about based on prejudices you clearly have against who can be the victim of domestic violence.
Sadly this was the exact reason that The News Group won the case in the UK - no one believed that a women could be anything other than a victim.
