Amber Heard and Johnny Depp are back in court in Fairfax County, Virginia. Photo: ELIZABETH FRANTZ/POOL/AFP via Getty Images Last week, Amber Heard took the stand in her ongoing defamation trial. Testifying about her marriage to Johnny Depp, she detailed years of alleged abuse in graphic detail. “He said, ‘I’ll fucking kill you,’” Heard recalled of one fight, which she says ended with Depp pinning her down on a countertop and penetrating her repeatedly with a liquor bottle.
No matter how damning the evidence may look in court, social media tells a different story: Instagram and TikTok are full of memes casting Depp as the victim and Heard as the abuser, intent on making a money grab that will tank her ex’s career. Nearly five years after exposés on Harvey Weinstein’s serial predation laid bare the ways powerful men leverage their influence to cover up misconduct, Depp v. Heard feels like a jarring regression.
Anti-Heard sentiment quickly spread beyond the comments section, spawning a whole taxonomy of memes valorizing Depp. Photos of him in the witness box are inscribed with his inspirational quotes My Instagram “Explore” page is suddenly sprinkled with photos of Depp in his prime: much younger versions of the actor kissing Winona Ryder and Kate Moss or holding a toddler-age Lily-Rose Depp in sepia.
Depp’s fans also have a disturbing ability to take the evidence Heard presents and flip it against her. A video of a drunken rampage — footage in which Depp smashes glasses and empties a bottle of wine — becomes proof of Heard’s capacity for manipulation. They question her motives: Why was she recording him in the first place? Then there are the text messages Depp sent his friend the actor Paul Bettany in 2013, musing about drowning Heard and setting her body on fire.
HelenaM60643504 Because the narcissistic lady lied about everything to hurt her innocent ex-husband. Mr Depp isnt perfect. But he isnt a mean person, and absolutely not a wife beater. Ppl like Amber should get jailtime for this shit.
Maybe it’s because she got caught in about 30 lies. She came off as snotty and entitled. She faked cried a whole bunch of times. (Not a tear to be seen) That should be enough.
The women who aren’t crazy narcissist
I think it's because she appears dishonest and she just happens to be a woman. People lie. They both seemed to inflict abuse onto each other.
She lied, this is a hoax, an evil one, this is why.
BecUse the evidence is obvious. She is lying. Watch the trial. Listen to her evidence, listen to his evidence. She is lying.
Has watched the trial? What is this 🗑
Because AmberHeardlsALiar and AmberHeardlsApsychopath AmberHeardIsAnAbuser AmberTurd you should stop protect an abuser
Because AmberHeardlsALiar AmberHeardlsAnAbuser
Because it was all a lie. Its the lie we hate
claire_lampen Because she's lying.
claire_lampen Wondering the same.
claire_lampen Until this trial there was little Heard 'hate' - JD's career was trashed, she was in blockbuster movies, an ACLU spokesperson & Loreal rep. and no one has said much of anything for years. It was done. After HEARING Heard say she hit him & started physical violence that changed
claire_lampen Fact is it sounds so far like drink&drug fuelled rages was this formerly married couples forte&this trial thing is a swansong to bow badly they fxcked each other over on so many occasions that it’s hard not2say six of one&’alf dozen of tuva.
claire_lampen The ones who tell the truth. She clearly isn't and we ALL can see it.
claire_lampen she is literally an abuser
claire_lampen It shouldn't have been televised.
claire_lampen Because violence against women has been normalized the world over
claire_lampen I see why amber didnt donate the money to charity she is too busy paying writers for these bullshit stories to try to sway the public.
claire_lampen Because all the evidence points to her being the abuser and yet he immediately lost his job over her allegations .
claire_lampen
claire_lampen Thank you!!!!
claire_lampen If you have lived with and been abused by a Narcissist , you can tell who the abuser is quite easily.
claire_lampen PR Drivel....if one is that interested, watch the live stream of the court...such a mess
claire_lampen Ones that don’t lie under oath
claire_lampen She pooped on the bed.
claire_lampen We only choose to believe those telling the truth!!! She was the abuser!!!
cmclymer claire_lampen She is a known abuser herself, so it’s been difficult to believe it was as one-sided as she claims. Frankly, it sounds like they were toxic to each other. Neither are being honest. But her playing the innocent lamb is a bit rich, given her history
claire_lampen well, doesn't help she's a shit actress, and he's a great one
claire_lampen Because its false.
claire_lampen How about this, 'why does so many people (mostly women) still support her after seeing evidence of her being an abuser?' Probably because they are all scared about the outcome for real domestic violence survivors after she lied for her own personal benefit. deppvsheard
claire_lampen Because she seems to have clearly lied. People are upset about her lies. Not her female or sex.
cmclymer claire_lampen Because she is LYING, there is PROOF she is lying, and there has been an established pattern of domestic abuse on her side. She invalidates EVERY real DV survivor. That’s why everyone hates her, and why that’s okay.
claire_lampen They’re both lunatics. The only difference is Depp didn’t publish an article disparaging her after the relationship ended, but she did. Hence, the law suit.
cmclymer claire_lampen Hannah Gadsby’s “Nanette” addresses our culture’s need to preserve a successful man’s reputation at all costs, even at the cost of a woman’s life.
claire_lampen Because they watched the trial and don't believe her?
claire_lampen People believe rich good look famous men more unfortunately. I feel sorry for Amber.
cmclymer claire_lampen Uh because she’s on tape admitting she made it all up and every girlfriend he’s had for 40 years testified he was never physically abusive. She’s the violent sociopath who did the abusing. Liars like Amber discredit every real abuse victim that’s why
claire_lampen Because the only non circumstantial evidence we have- recordings of Heard- have her admitting she hit him, calling him a baby for complaining & to grow up. Later, she was recorded mocking him for saying that he was a victim of domestic violence, & that no one would believe him.
cmclymer claire_lampen They are both sketchy, but she's less well-known and she has made a lot of bad decisions. I don't think she deserves abuse. She needs therapy and some alone time.
claire_lampen it is completely baffling that in the face of evidence - and an already successful civil suit - people choose to vilify this woman.
claire_lampen They began to hate her for it only AFTER, by watching the televised court case themselves, it became apparent that her allegations are ALL LIES.
claire_lampen Maybe because some ppl simply hate a woman that's accusing a man of abuses. She will ALWAYS be treated with anger by the lawyers and her life will be put on display. Like anyone they are not perfect but they're judged by idiots who sides with the abusers as if he's the victim
claire_lampen Victimhood or victim mentality is all about power and from what you can see on the trial that's all she wants. It could have been ANY famous man, as long and she could gather the attention. Cameras make people 'perform'
claire_lampen Cause it’s false until she proves it’s true?! Does the principle of the burden of proof also exist for you, doesn’t it?!
claire_lampen Answer: the facts and evidence do not support Turd claims. In fact, even without her repeated perjury, the evidence supports the claims from 'an extremely famous man.'
claire_lampen Because she lied about it, next question
claire_lampen Because her abuse to that man were far more worse!
claire_lampen Because she's lying?
Too many inconsistencies. Too many eye witness testimonies. Paparazzi photos that show dates of images taken when she allegedly had injuries. Her refusal to hand over metadata - despite the court demanding it! Her admitting to hitting Johnny and throwing things at him 🤔🤔🤔
Finally a publication is reporting what is very apparent. Depp’s body language shows he is lying. Watch his eyes carefully too. Clearly Amber Heard is a victim of abuse. Depp is a celebrity whose shallow fans put him on a pedestal. It is sad that people refuse to see the truth
She is lying so hard. She ruins Metoo with her BS.
Because she’s LYING.
Anasta3ija Maybe because she's lying 😤
We don’t hate her at least I don’t .. But… she is not telling the truth and she’s hurting a lot of people not just JD ..but I understand this is a paid article
I read the article and it felt biased against Johnny Depp. It felt like the author couldn’t figure out how men could be domestic violence victims. For me, Amber Heard gives me the creeps and always has. Somewhere in the middle lays the truth.
You make a living making fun of women. It is obvious that toy haven't watched the trial and their are COMPLETE lies in your article about what happened in court. All you have done is prove you aren't reliable. No wonder people rather watch content creators than read you.
Are you getting paid by Amber's team? Or you choosing to not look at the evidence? Because this is just embarrassing for you 💩
Crikey the evidence is everywhere if you havnt seen it yet then you just are choosing not to see it because you are in denial?.... you prob also supported jodi arias ? Because she's a women? Shock horror women do lie. I support whoever the victim is and clearly its not Amber.
wow did you guys really delete the post with this article and repost it because you didn’t like the comments you received? that is sick, that is dishonest journalism defined, jesus christ.
ehhh... you want us to believe her ?
Why does support violence against men? boycottcut
PLEASE listen to audio. Trust your ears.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
PR spin - it isn’t helping Amber it is just making people dislike her even more if that is even possible. We can all see the evidence. The last 2 years events has made people realise no longer to accept anything on face value from the media. We are all free thinkers now!
Probably because the trial has been televised So you can actually see what's going on and see the evidence presented. Also you can see their behaviour on The witness stand. People are judging by their eyes and ears That's why
Has anyone at actually watched the full trial? This is an extremely one-sided account.
Do you actually believe your followers are this stupid? This pretty white woman told scary lies we all must ignore facts and manipulation and side with her. This isnt about depp fandom, this is about holding someone accountable regardless of her social stature.
claire_lampen She should instead write, and you should instead cover, her axis II personality disorder that is quite damaging to all involved
claire_lampen eglouise
claire_lampen Israeli police come to remove the Palestinian flag from outside the church where Shireen’s family was receiving condolences- and shoved everyone around for no reason. Shireen_Abu_Akleh
claire_lampen Because she expects people to believe JD did all the drugs and alcohol alone.
claire_lampen Read your comments New York Magazine believeher has jumped the shark
claire_lampen Alternatively, she could be lying and thus hurting real victims.
claire_lampen Because she doesn't have any evidence that he abused her. Nobody believes her.
claire_lampen Because they think she was lying. Next. 🙄
claire_lampen because she admitted that she abused him, not the other way around
Maybe because she is lying?
Eve_Barlow Not her
Can we take notes on all publications that clearly ignore the evidence and show they are bias and not for truth in journalism like TheCut is with this bs article? Time to demand more and put them out of business
Are all journalists this stupid? legit question
Why after every bit of evidence proves her guilty of abuse do you insist of believing and promoting her? The question isn't could she be innocent. The question is what are you getting out of pretending to overlook her abuse because you are getting something from it
Its truly astonishing how u can accuse people of hating her when everything is telecasted live for people to make their own understanding of the case by analysing the evidence and witnesses . She doesn't hv any of it jst sm trumped up accusations and cringe performance.
exactly this
Because according to the evidence it's not true.
Which Men do we choose to believe? USE YOUR BRAIN! If you have watched any of the the trial or read any of the transcripts over the last six years you would know that Johnny Depp is a VICTIM and amberheardisaliar used the metoo movement for revenge money and fame. WAKEUP.
Eve_Barlow You know what we hate? Liars, bad acting and false accusations. Everything Amber Turd is is what we as women hate.
Most probs b3coz very fake story she makes up gets proven wrong she is as depp said a cunt.. she lied about abuse.. will be a good time if someone can actually teach her about abuse
Said agonizing detail:
What it's agonizing is seeing her testimony and bad acting skills, lying through her teeth about being a victim of DV, when we HEARD her on the audios being a complete abuser.
Immaturity.....groupies for JD 🤮🤮🤮
Eve_Barlow Because she’s fucking lying.
Are you suggesting we should believe women because they're women? Why don't we go back to believe facts and evidence?
Hessmeralda how come people completely and utterly ignore JD already lost a trial against the sun? HOW?
Agonizing detail? What details? What little details she's shared conflict with evidence. I don't have to believe all women. Women can be vindictive liars. I believe evidence. Her 'word' & bogus pics aren't good enough. MenToo AmberHeardIsAnAbuser AmberHeardlsALiar
You are kidding right.
Eve_Barlow Because there is evidence upon evidence she is a liar. It gives true Womens abuse a really bad name. I hope she gets a sentence for the abusive lies she’s has told and made up.
Because she is lying. And you don't have to be Johnny Depp's fan for that. She is despicable. And it's so obvious this question is appalling
Cos she’s clearly acting and she’s not very good at it. Next question?
Not psychopaths. She is herself abused her previous female partners. Being a woman makes you vulnerable to abuse, but not a victim by default. They had an abusive relationship. This a personal problem not a systemic one. Amber is no victim by no metric.
How much did Amber's PR team pay you to publish this?
