TMZ just posted a video of Johnny Depp attacking Amber Heard & one of the comments was, and I quote: “He’s a method actor. Could just be prepping in character. This proves nothing.” I give up.
This is awful. Awful.
Fuck that half-assed excuse shit.
I saw the video and it was appalling, btw.
Since people are going to inevitably say “he didn’t even do much in the video” or something like that:
My dad was abusive in a very similar way to the above video.
I watched the video on mute first to see what I was getting into. When he threw open the cabinets, without sound, I flinched every time. I’m all too familiar with that kind of angry slam–even when that anger isn’t physically directed at you, it’s terrifying. You know whatever he’s slamming would be you if he snapped. Maybe not consciously in the moment, but on a real, visceral level.
Even the way he does and doesn’t talk to her is terrifying and reminds me of how my dad used to be when he was pissed off like that.* I was on the edge of being triggered, and I’m never triggered.
It doesn’t take physical contact to count as abuse. My dad never raised a hand to me, but his emotional abuse severely damaged me and my entire family.
This video combined with her bruises? Johnny Depp needs help. Help and prison.
