It started when Amber Heard filed for a temporary restraining order against Depp in 2016 and claiming that he was being abusive and she feared for her life. Many have said that Depp was very surprised and confused about Heard's actions. This was not the only event in their rocky relationship, there have been many times that Heard has said Depp beat her, but strangely there wasn't any bruising on her face or body. One serious fight Heard and Depp got into was when Depp went into the hospital with a severed finger and a burn on his face from a cigarette butt. When Depp gave his story on what happened, he said that Heard was throwing bottles at him and one of the bottles hit his hand, severing his finger. When Heard was giving her story she said he did it to himself, and her explanation was so confusing I don't really know exactly what she said. Strangely, whenever Heard accused Depp of domestic violence, her stories never added up, she would have odd facial expressions, and her actions were very questionable. Many have said that Depp was never abusive in their relationship or in the duration of knowing each other, including his own daughter.
There are so many accusations and stories and witnesses to hear from, it's crazy. One thing is for sure, domestic violence is not a joke. Although many believe that Heard is the victim, I think otherwise. Domestic violence can come from all genders, even a person as small as me. So what do you think? How do you feel about domestic violence? Should the abuser go to jail? And is Johnny Depp the victim or is he the abuser?
I think both are at fault here. Both Depp and Heard have a right to their claims. As you have presented the article, it would appear that Depp's claims are more reliable than Heard's because there was physical damage to his body. Though this does give his claims more credit, this does not mean that Heard's are less credible by default. Heard is the one who filed the restraining order first, suggesting Depp did something to make her resent him. Even if Heard is the one who started the feud, with how much Depp has had to go through because of Heard I would not be surprised to find out that Depp abused her back for some semblance of revenge. I don't think this situation is as black and white as many people believe it to be. Many situations like this are not.
ReplyDeleteI think each person may have been at fault. However, I think that Heard played a larger role in it, but the media has it set out for Depp. Many do not discuss domestic abuse from the female counterpart because "they are women and it should not matter if they hit you as long as you don't hit them back." Johnny Depp is the famous name attached to this all, so I think the media is wrong for going after him and trying to defame him without all the facts. While yes, there's the possibility he has been an abuser, painting the image that he was the sole criminal is wrong. I do not think the abuser should be sent to jail because there is more that goes on than just what people say. Without actual evidence, whether physical or electronic, I think there is no way to truly decide who is the abuser in the relationship.
