Comments on: Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, how did their divorce affect their reputation? https://sivertimes.com/johnny-depp-and-amber-heard-how-did-their-divorce-affect-their-reputation/32574 news and analytics Fri, 14 Apr 2017 18:19:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Benedetta https://sivertimes.com/johnny-depp-and-amber-heard-how-did-their-divorce-affect-their-reputation/32574#comment-971 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 18:19:00 +0000 http://sivertimes.com/?p=32574#comment-971 The author of this post must think that repeat is useful ( the same sentence appear a lot of time). Dear author you are slandering Johnny Depp, but he could be the real victim.
Dr Jason Whiting in “Psychology Today” replied to many people angry for this article, in this way:”here are some good points being made in the comments, namely: violence is a multifaceted, complex problem that affects people from all backgrounds and relationship types. Of course men are victims as well as women, and this is particularly true for certain kinds of violence (usually called situational couple violence). It is also true that there are manipulative people who gaslight, threaten or otherwise psychologically abuse their partner (and again, this can be found in all genders and types of relationships). Abuse is a painful thing to endure, and for victims there can be long lasting effects, and the psychological damage can be the worst (I am not, however, trying to minimize physical damage, which can be substantial). There are reams of studies about these various aspects of violence. However, these topics were not what the article was about, but are useful to generate ideas to be addressed in the future. The point of this article was why people blame victims, and how this occurs generally. In the article I attempted to be clear on how I was not taking sides. For example, I said: “It is impossible, of course, to know what exactly happened in this messy debacle. . . it is not clear who is at fault or what happened . . . she claims to be the victim . . . Most violent relationships are complicated, and it is rarely helpful to rush to judgment, which usually makes things worse,” etc. I also mention attacks towards both. It is certainly possible that Amber Heard was the sole aggressor and was abusive and manipulative towards Depp. But as mentioned, the truth of what happened is unlikely to be known by any of us. But clearly for some this attempt to be neutral wasn’t clear or was overshadowed by the case itself. I can see how readers could infer that I was suggesting that Heard was the victim, or that my points about victim blaming were specific to her. Ironically, my argument was to not “rush to judgment” but I can see that my use of this particular example was too loaded to use as a general example of victim blaming, and could imply I was giving credence to her story. It is easy to make assumptions about who is right and who is wrong in cases of violence, as well as reports of them.

Stop to slander Johnny Depp

The author of this post forgot to mention that Amber Heard has been in the courts a few more times than Johnny lately, for smuggling dogs, accusing Depp of domestic violence, and conspiracy against a movie company she worked for. She has also been jailed after a domestic incident against her former wife/girlfriend, and thus shows a habit of bringing drama wherever she goes. Johnny has his moments, but they usually only affect him.

She acted bizarrely througout the entire divorce process, and everyone who is on her side and still trusts her must have simply skipped the news and believed the media. They also must miss the devious eyes the girl has – probably the very thing that attracted Depp to her in the first place. Further; did you watch the video of “Johnny throwing bottles at her” twice after not seeing him throw anything the first time you watched it, or did you decide not to indulge this drama any further?

Although I agree that the vast majority of Johnny’s fans would probably stonewall the truth entirely, doesn’t automatically make Johnny guilty. I saw some pretty naive comments defending the actor, but Amber’s defendants were equally behind a stone wall: “WE MUST BELIEVE WOMEN OTHERWISE MEN LIKE HIM…” They weren’t willing to accept that a woman might lie. I would say that the truth is somewhere in between. SOMETHING must have happened, but what, and what followed? When we accept that people are animals, and everyone, when pushed to a corner is capable of all sorts of things… Would we judge Depp if we knew the whole truth AND if he actually caused the bruises… UNPROVOKED.

Ever heard the term “bratting”? Look it up, it may cause convienient bruises and you only have to lie a little.
