Body Language Analyst REACTS to Amber Heard TESTIMONY! Did Johnny Depp Hit Her? Shocking PERJURY! 

Hey everyone! Hope you enjoy this breakdown! I have a few additional post-edit comments I want to make that could be important. Also if you’re new to behavior analysis and want to learn more about the science of it and some amazing studies about it; check out this video of me and one of the best in the business, explaining everything you need to know about this amazing field: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PRGlkpCKeD8.html 1) A lot of you caught that in the clip I asked you to “bookmark.” She said “loosened my grip” instead of “his grip.” Great catch! In my initial listen I heard “the grip,” then heard “my” in editing. But for those of you who caught that. 👏🏻 👏🏻 2) Another really crazy thing about the bottle he was allegedly holding is she says “did you drink THIS whole thing?” It is excessively rare that we say “this” about something somebody else is holding. She would have said “did you drink THAT whole thing.” Of course anything is possible… .. except that, she’s totally making it up. 😆 jk! (Kinda) 3) Other analysts have mentioned that she often shifts from past to present tense while telling her story and it’s important to them. I always respect other pros in my field and we all have our own styles. But I know that a lot of people think back and step into the moment and re-experience it in the present tense, it’s common in trauma recall. Especially sensory memory like “I can feel the heat on my arm and there’s this noise behind me.” I would say SHIFTING back and forth is suspicious but I wouldn’t call using present tense for recall a sign of deception. (While respecting other analysts who do.)

Johnny’s responding verbal abuse is called “reactive abuse”. Basically the narcissist pushes you past your breaking point intentionally. Then when you lash back, the narcissist points saying, “see, see! You’re abusive to me!”

She said “I don’t know if he let go of my neck or loosened MY grip.” Putting herself in the aggressors place once again !

According to Johnny Depp's assistant, he would routinely book a second room so he could escape when things got out of hand. And Amber would never know where it was. Let me ask everyone out there. How out of place does it seem to be for an abuser to want a room he could escape to so he could get AWAY from the person he is abusing???

The biggest difference between the two is Johnny actually accepts his mistakes, admits them, and lives with it. Amber's reversing everything that was violent and she's passing the blame on everybody but herself.

I'm so glad you pointed out her behaviour when reminiscing about the start of their relationship!! You're the first I've seen address this. Her behaviour didn't make sense to me at all. I was in an abusive relationship for 8 years and I've been out of it for another 8 years. I do not feel in any way nostalgic about him or our beginning. As you say, the emotion that comes up when I think back to that time is disgust. I've been around many other abused women in group therapy as well and never once have I seen someone discuss their abuser the way Amber did. Again, it was disgust or deep disappointment/sadness.

I consider myself an empath, highly affected by other feelings. It was so confusing watching her and not feeling anything.

When she talks about slapping him across the face; did you notice that she says "loosened MY grip" ? I think she often tells the story, giving him the role, of HER actual answers. I, also, believe she is a gold-digging hussy. And, as a survivor, of a 22 year, abusive relationship, I feel more threatened by her.

So in the middle of being abused, thrown across the room and him being on top of her beating her she asks "did you drink this whole bottle?" As if that's the major issue.

For me the biggest red flag is that she never looks into "nothing" to recollect events. Usually when people are recollecting events, especially so dramatic, they stop looking around and they seem kinda lost in their own thoughts as if they are reliving them. She never does it

I’m surprised that you didn’t mention she slipped up when saying “At some point I’m in his face. I don’t know if he had let go of my neck or loosened my grip, but I remember slapping him across the face.” In that moment she says “loosened MY grip.” Chances are, she was the one holding his neck and she let that slip out in this moment.

Empath here. Her hysterical testimony didn’t make me feel her pain, it left me absolutely exhausted. I’ve been with a narcissist who was abusive. The abuse I experienced made me do and say crazy things that I have never done in any other time or relationship before or since. It doesn’t surprise me that Johnny said or did some crazy sh!t. Narcissists can push you to the edge of your sanity. I don’t necessarily think that makes him an abuser.

I find it interesting that the times she seems to show actual emotion are when she discusses "being embarrassed." This happened several times during her testimony. Describing the abuse doesn't get to her, but talking about being embarrassed, or a worsening of her reputation, she gets genuinely upset.

I think her entire "abuse" testimony is a description of what she did to Johnny. She just switches the perpetrator.

This man just plainly laid out what we were all feeling subconsciously while watching Amber lie through her teeth. You know something is wrong, but can't quite put your finger on it.

I think Ben Chew, Johnny's attorney, got excited about the "bee story" Amber was telling, cause she went to the vet for the dog, and suprisingly didnt go to the doctor for all the psysical abuse she allegedly suffered. Edit: Yes, while its totally common for abuse victims not to speak up, you have to first remember she (Amber) isnt just some "housewife" in the suburbs, financialy dependent on her husband, taking care of the kids, with no one by her side. Her friends lived with them, she had a NURSE and a DOCTOR dedicated to her needs. She is in the entertaiment industry, fotographed every day, hairstylists,makeup artist are around her EVERYDAY. And she coudnt tell 1 person to take her to the doctor to have the visit documented?!

When you mentioned empaths, I was just thinking about how I felt absolutely NOTHING when she told her story. With Isaac at the beginning of the trial, when he started crying I started crying.

When she was crying, I couldn't see any redness of her nose, hear any congestion, or see any physical signs of the physiological act of crying. As an empath, that part made me angry, not sad. You're so right

excellent video, as always, Spidey. I am a psychologist and I have worked with survivors of abuse, but also with people who pretend to be victims of "life", who are always whining and complaining about everything, they act "like crying" but they don't actually cry, they are like "sad" but they are not actually sad. AH acts in the same way, and you have explained it perfectly. And it's true, they have had, in fact, a very toxic relationship. But I guess she is great to push your buttons, specially those of someone that has suffered abuse during his childhood. Also, in the messages when he is apologizing, it's strange her lack of response, only "i love you", "i miss you", she is not engaging in a real conversation, she is not wasting her time texting to him, using more words. Only beautiful, universal phrases, very stereotyped and short, and she is not apologizing! Usually victims are the ones that apologize. And in a functional couple, after a disagreement both of them apologize, in a sincere way. Anyway, sorry for my bad English. But I like your videos enough to make the effort to write in a foreign language.

The way that Heard’s testimony actually matches up with the forensic psychiatrist’s observations a few weeks back is uncanny. Seriously, go back and listen to it and then watch Heard on the witness stand. «Will spend more time on trivial details when recalling a supposedly specific memory of abuse» Check. «Grandiose words that in the bigger picture add no substance to the topic of discussion» Check. «Play-acting emotions» Check. The list goes on.

Re: fearing for safety and not feeling embarrassed: I always thought, whenever I saw someone having a medical emergency in public, that it would be so embarrassing to be surrounded by a crowd of gawkers while being loaded into an ambulance or something.. then I got hit by a car and not for one instant while I was waiting for the ambulance to arrive did I consider what others were thinking or how I emotionally felt. My entire being was focused on surviving. No tears, no embarrassment, no emotion. All the energy I had was put to protecting myself and staying alive.

When you said Empaths didn't feel anything from her testimony, you were so right! I literally watched her and everything just felt so fake and my face was sorta scrunched up because it was painful to watch, the "acting" was so bad. I don't really care about the outcome. I don't think Johnny does either. He made his point. Amber is NOT an innocent DV/SA victim. She is just as guilty, if not more at fault than him. I pray they move on from this.

That smile she did, when she talked about their first kiss, I straight away thought that was a genuine smile. But I’m so glad you mentioned it because it confused me. I can’t look back on any of my past relationships, that involved lying, cheating and/or abuse, and smile. They make me feel sick and disgusted. It’s the instant feeling I get when I think of them as a person and any memories attached the them. There’s no happy memories because bad things they did tainted the whole memory of the relationship.

You’re a therapist AND a body language expert?!?!?! Wow. Congrats on the lifetime of education and knowledge seeking. You’re so charming and your accent is adorable! Love this channel!

When it comes to his apologies, abusers are very good at making their victims feel it is their fault. I am a victim of DV and for years I blamed myself and apologized constantly. It took a long time and many instances of my wife beating on me, scratching me, and even chasing me with a knife before I finally broke free of the gaslighting and realized what was actually happening. When it comes to Johnny Depp, this would be easier to do to him because of his addictions.

Interesting her father “broke” horses. Personally I find the whole practice, traditionally (there are kinder ways to train a horse rather than break it but it’s not as quick and requires more patience), is cruel in my opinion as someone who works with rescue horses. She seemed to have applied similar tactics in a way to break Johnny. They use fear, stress, exhaustion and trauma bonding to make the horse submissive. Interesting parallel.

When I saw the texts in the end, I broke down. I am a guy who was in an abusive relationship with a younger woman for 12 years. Being the older one, I was always trying to be the "bigger" person in all situations taking in verbal and sometimes physical abuse, quick to apologize and always ready to admit my shortcomings. I was an eternal optimist that being patient and forgiving will eventually work out... but the abuses kept escalating. Those texts seem so familiar, I authored quite a few of them. I cut my losses and called it quits finally, and got out clean. I really feel for Johnny, but I am glad things are turning around for him, there is overwhelming support for him everywhere I see. Good people deserve redemption.

She did it again, at about 26:24 she says the “he let go of my neck, or loosened MY grip”. Love your breakdowns, I watched the entire trial minute for minute (with the brilliant Emily d Baker, of course 🤩) and Amber has truly given so much information to teach others about deception and what to watch out for, that it’s a whole book in itself on personality disorders. I was in a relationship with a narcissist, I feel for Johnny having to sit there and listen to this all. Knowing the truth and having her distort if for the world.

I am a really empathetic person (towards humans and even the smallest of animals) and I tend to feel with people what they feel. But when I listen to Amber I feel almost nothing but being annoyed and sometimes angry about her. It's a bit like sitting in a bad movie with a bucket of popcorn and waiting for it to be over. Sometimes I get a sense of deviousness from her...that's it. The rest is cold as ice.

There's something vital I think you missed in that apology letter you went over. He was regretting BOTH his behavior and hers, and taking the blame for her behavior. He also mentioned that he felt he was being conditioned by her to respond like that. This is indicative of someone who is the victim. What he's apologizing for is reactive abuse. I'm not saying JD is a saint. The world isn't so black and white. But what I am saying, is one is the perpetrator and one is the victim, the latter being conditioned to respond to abuse with abuse.

As a victim of abuse myself, I have to thank you. It’s a nauseating experience to have been abused, and then see Amber almost mocking abuse, and using it as a weapon to further her own self-interests. It’s a slap in the face to anyone who has been abused, and has had to painfully recall the abuse in order to get better and heal… not to use against anyone.

Johnny's text apologies are interesting. There's a certain... vibe to them that really resonate with me. Having grown up with a physically abusive mother, I was very close to her at a young age (5 or 6) only to go in the exact opposite direction during my teenage years as we began to yell and scream at each other more frequently. I think I was about 16 or 17 when my mom tried to hit me in the face and I had finally had enough of it. I reached up and grabbed her hand and stopped it in its tracks. The look on her face was unforgettable. For the first time in my life she looked truly frightened. In that moment, she realized that not only was I now stronger than her, but I wasn't going to let her hit me anymore. That day was a turning point. From then on, she stopped being physically abusive, and mostly stopped yelling altogether. All that aggression that had plagued my childhood seemed to have finally worn her out. My siblings thought that she had changed and became a better person, even if they had no idea why that was the case. The truth is that my mom was forced to find a different way about going about things. The aggression was replaced with passive-aggressiveness. Now, SHE was the victim. She would make sure to say the meanest things in the most polite way so that any resistance to them whatsoever, even if it were just a rational statement of disagreement, was somehow a personal attack on her. If she was being incredibly rude and insulting by giving advice that no one asked for, well you couldn't be mad at her because she was just trying to help! It took me a long time to realize that the best way to deal with this stuff was to ignore it completely. I cannot argue with my mother because I will never win, even if it's just to point out a minor thing she misspoke about. I have to just let it pass by me like I didn't even notice. The reason why I bring all this up is because I've found myself in countless situations where I've reacted a bit too strongly in a situation, only to feel badly about it after a small amount of stewing time. Because of all these interactions with my mom, and it always being MY fault no matter how correct I might have been and how wrong she may have been, and it being MY responsibility to be the bigger person, apologize, and accept the blame, I found myself getting into this habit of apologizing for every conflict I ever participated in. That is, if I had an argument with someone and we parted ways being mad at each other, within a few hours I was ready to apologize to them for everything I did or said and tell them that they were absolutely right, no matter what the argument, especially if it was someone I deeply cared about. I would always exaggerate in my head the severity of my most negative responses and minimize the other person's role in raising the tension level of the conflict until I was so upset over the strife that *I* caused that I *had* to profusely apologize. Even if they continued to stay mad at me, I just couldn't leave the situation as it was without at least attempting to apologize for my part. I'm not saying this to excuse Johnny's behavior or to say that he did nothing wrong, but these texts read to me like a lot of text messages I've sent to various people, especially if I had an argument the night before while being drunk. Him saying things like "you're absolutely right," in bold letters no less, really remind me of myself when I felt distraught over the thought of having possibly negatively impacted an important relationship because I got a little bit too carried away in the moment about an ultimately meaningless argument for a brief period of time. It just feels a lot to me like someone who is used to being the one who has to extend the olive branch and make amends after a conflict, like we're our own impartial arbitrator of our personal disputes because no one else is willing to step up. When this happens with an abusive person, it often takes the most profuse apologies to even open a channel of communication, while with everyone else, it's usually immediately met with a "no big deal, I'm sorry, too" type of reply.

As a TRUE survivor of domestic violence who suffers from PTSD I gotta say, she has the same mannerisms as my ex who was my abuser. It really triggers me watching her testimony...not because of the story itself but her mannerisms and how she says things. I get flashbacks when I watch her. I am "free" from that abuse and the person now but I don't ever feel like I'm actually free. I have severe anxiety, I get physically sick (nauseous and even actually throwing up), I shake uncontrollably, I dissociate from life and people around me, I have night terrors and wake up drenched in sweat and screaming and crying. All caused by the abuse I endured. If I was to ever have to be in the same room with my ex now I wouldn't be able to physically handle it and I would probably have to go to the hospital for an anxiety attack...

It's honestly so hard to watch her during this case. The lies. The discrepancies in her story. The acting. I roll my eyes everytime. Thank you so much for taking the time to even sit down and watch through her testimonies.

When you are in a relationship with a Narcissist most of the time the victim is the one that say sorry for everything that happened, the manipulation is so deep that we take responsibility of their and ours actions

I think most people who are not experts in body language can see that Amber Heard was lying so much. She had to remember her lies and then cover up the lie with another lie and so one gets found out. Excellent analysis here from the body language expert.

It’s her own projections. She said that she hated it when he would walk away from her! She perceived that as weak and cowardly and would start yelling at him. Everything she is accusing him of is what SHE did TO him. I feel like this entire situation is a stark reminder to all us plebs that actors and millionaires can be waaaaaaay more fucked up than regular everyday people, or at least AS fucked up as we are

Finally someone who isn’t scared to point out her blatant lies & contradictions on the stand! Your analysis is amazing as always 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A lot of her testimony as what happened to her - is what I believe actually happened to Johnny at her hands! I feel that he was a hothead before he met her but I do not think he physically abused anyone. I think SHE brings out all of his demons by chasing him room to room and being confrontational. I think she is very jealous not only of him, but mainly of his CAREER! Her testimony has been all over the place. I’m excited for cross examination of her and am curious how her own lawyers intend to dig her out of this hole she’s burying herself in!

I'm one of those empaths that you were talking about and I find it so interesting how I react to Amber Heard! If I just listen to her (with my eyes closed or looking at something else), I find myself reacting somewhat. But the moment I look at her, the sympathy just shuts off. It's like she sounds right, but looks wrong to my brain. I'm curious if other empaths react the same way? I love that you pointed that out because it really explained a lot about why I don't buy what she's selling!

As a former victim of domestic abuse, the last thing you want to do when the abuser is attacking you is to draw more attention to yourself, so there's no way you're going to get up and walk away while they're shouting at you. You do your best not to antagonize them, so they leave you alone. She's lying and hurting so many victims of true abuse. She's disgusting.

As an abuse survivor, I have apologized for "being crazy" and horrible to my abuser, begging for forgiveness..but now I've realized it was because I was being gaslighted and thus convinced that I was the cause of all the conflict when I truly wasn't. Just something I wanted to add for thought in regard to the text messages.

This was absolutely fascinating. When she was talking about when she slapped Johnny across the face (@26:20 the one you told us to keep in mind for later) she says "I don't know if he let go of my neck or loosened my grip". If it was Johnny holding her, wouldn't it be "or loosened HIS grip"? Could this be another slip like the first one where she's actually the aggravator?

As a nurse of 30 years, Intuition plays a huge part of my daily patient care. Reading patient behaviour. Analysing their reactions. I see right through her. I've seen this manipulation and victim playing so often. I saw it from day 1. Lucky I'm not on the jury 😂 or....maybe I should be 🤔

I'm an empath and within minutes of her starting to testify, I had to close my computer. It felt like a violation. I have not able to watch, except in small pieces. It's so important that we now have YTers like you who can break this down and offer a reality check on what we can feel with our hearts. Thank you.

The difference between him and her is that most of us who grew up with Johnny know already that he is a "bad boy" so to speak. Also, he has admitted the things he has done...she dances around and admits very little. In my opinion, she is still defaming him while sitting in a courtroom. I was so upset and in tears that he had to listen to the tape of when he was trying to harm himself. I hurt for him. With her, I feel no sadness or hurt.

She needs to be made an example of for lying on the witness stand. Perjury in civil cases is usually not enforced, but the number of offences is unreal. AH should be a perjury poster child. The US legal system is based on witnesses telling the truth.

Her story of what “Johnny” did is the closest thing to a confession we’ll ever get!

She isn't just an abuser she is also a cheater. Anybody who's been in a relationship with someone that cheats knows how crazy it can make someone get. Especially if you're married to that person. The relationship can become volatile just on that alone. Also the fact that she mimics Johnny is only further proof that she's a sociopath.

You're totally right about the empath thing. I literally just rolled my eyes when she started saying "it wasn't him anymore." She looks like what she THINKS someone upset would look like, not like an actually upset person.

I have been abused and I don’t talk about it or “promote it”, physically abused (and it’s nothing compared what others have experienced) I would never undermine what others have been through. But when I talk about what happened, I avoid it and agree with you, the first thing on my mind when I was strangled was how to get to safety, how to escape, where my phone so I can call for or yell for help. I was panicking not worried about my self esteem. She is a horrible human being

I got mainly overdramatised acting from her testimony. I almost start doubting myself when I react that way to alleged victims but your explanation makes so much sense! Thank you!

I just noticed, and I've watched this same testimony multiple times, that she's not wearing mascara or eyeliner here. Her eye makeup is very light, just some natural looking eyeshadow. She'd been wearing both mascara and eyeliner every day until this one. I'm not one to speculate but we know at this point that everything this woman does is calculated and has a reason. Mascara and eyeliner would smudge while tears are being shed, even if using waterproof formulas because of dabbing and rubbing, and would make it obvious that someone is or was recently crying. If she knew ahead of time (and she obviously did) that she wouldn't be able to cry on the witness stand and that her makeup would reveal this, it is entirely plausible that she chose to forego these products altogether as a way to further conceal her deceit. And it would also give her an excuse if questioned about it because, knowing that she might cry during her testimony, she can say that she chose not to wear eye makeup. I swear this bitch.

Spidey, you are so amazing. You provide so much for all of your followers for FREE. I'm so sorry people crossed a line by attacking you in comments and messages. The content you offer is absolutely top shelf and you didn't deserve to be treated that way. It's so hard to put yourself out there like you do all the time. Thank you so much for what do and who you are. BTW you've helped me personally connect with a passion for behaviorial analysis.

As a victim of extreme DV, this woman makes me cringe. I can hardly bear to watch her. This is not how you would be in front of your perpetrator if you had experienced these things. It is harmful to those of us who have been through this on the receiving end. Everything about her screams to me that she is the manipulator and a pathological liar. She is playing a sick game. This will not help the men who suffer such abuse.

Idk if he's covered this before, but I found it so CREEPY how in Amber's deposition, she answered one of the lawyer's questions with a "no" but she was nodding her head, indicating "yes" when she did so. I tried doing it - it is a gesture that is SO Odd to try to replicate. It feels so strange. Whereas shaking your head and saying "no" feels completely natural.

I really detest the way she has implied that Johnny was guilty of inappropriate sexual behavior in the early days of their relationship. How did she find herself in a towel in his trailer with a bottle of wine? That was obviously her being professional!

I have never heard someone say "I remember" so often during testimony. You're telling us what happened so you don't have to tell us "I remember." It happens so often it makes me think she's "remembering" her story, not the truth.

As an empath I seriously thought that something was wrong with me because I couldn't feel any sympathy for ms Heard. I cry at every emotional scene in a book or on TV. Even when it's a fun scene like a wedding, I cry... But now, here, hearing ms Heard's statement: nothing. Not when she cried (a great performance, it only lacked tears...), not when she told about her youth. Nothing. So I'm really glad that you solved that enigma for me. I couldn't feel for her, cause she faked the whole thing! On the other hand, I could cry for mr Depp, who had to go through it all. The grabbing, the yelling, the hair pulling (and thát hurts), the bottle stabbing which caused such trauma to his hand. Horror for any musician, I can tell... I'm really good at reading other people (often by just looking into their eyes) and their moods/emotions. And where ms Heard makes my red signals flash, mr Depp makes me feel sad...for him. I know that he's not exactly a choir boy, but he's a good and decent man. The kind that brings the "gentle" into the gentleman.

One thing that really stuck out to me was not only did she seemingly unconsciously put herself in the role of the abuser, but, at the beginning, when she’s saying what she did to get away/ placate him and how it gradually escalated, those are all things he said he did to get away from her. This tells me that she not only knew she was the aggressor, but that what he was doing is inherently more sympathetic.

Anyone catch where she said, " I don't know if he had let go of my neck, or I loosened MY grip!" Why or how would she loosen her grip, if he's the one choking her? I hope his lawyers are catching these slip ups of truth! This is beyond sad, and a huge step backwards with how far we've come with abuse cases in general.

i said this in other channels and I'm gonna say this again here: whenever I retell the story of my abusive relationship's better or happier times, as a victim, I wouldn't even smile. Simply because it was painful. Every good memory has a dark cloud hovering over it. It bothers me how her testimony was like reading straight from a bad teen novel.

This is the moment we've all been waiting for! 🥳 Appreciate you so much, thank you. Please get some rest, sleep is so important. 🤗 love and hugs!

She went from acting scared and backing into the wall when he walked near her to blushing and smiling when retelling their first kiss. This was such a tell. No one switches like this in real life.

I am an empath and if someone is genuinely crying it causes me to immediately start crying because it's like I feel their pain. I've never felt anything but disgust watching Amber.

26:24 - 26:28 : “I don’t know if he had let go of my neck, uh, or loosened MY grip.” Another HUGE slip up of Amber that wasn’t caught in this video. She, again, slips up and hints that she was the one with the grip on him and not the other way around. Someone online edited together how many times Amber uses “I remember” at the start of her sentences. It happens so many times that it’s almost comical. If someone is recalling their story I would expect them to say “This happened, then this happened, then this.” OR, “I don’t remember everything due to blocking it out.” She starts almost every single sentence (especially after being asked a question) with “uh, I remember…” “I rememeber” “I DO rememeber.” This, to me, sounds a lot like someone who is trying to recall a script or story rather than truly recalling an event. Even if someone said “I remember” while recalling, I would think she would say it quietly and meekly because she would not want to remember these events, but she emphasizes it to ENSURE us over and over again that she remembers it correctly and not to challenge her. Kinda the same idea as saying “honestly” or “sincerely” as you pointed out. I also wanted to point out that in JD’s apology letters: when he mentions “the monster” we know from him and Amber that that is talking about his addiction. It is not uncommon for someone who’s abused to apologize because they’ve been broken down to think it’s their fault or something they’ve done to cause the abuse happening to them. Also, apologizing for setting her off isn’t really a fair thing to look at because he testified that him taking his own boots off would set her off. Him trying to leave the room to escape her abuse would set her off. Him trying to explain to her why he would ‘leave’ in those moments would set her off. If he didn’t compliment her right, that would set her off. I don’t think JD is a saint and We know he said some not very nice things, but I’m sure there were times he didn’t want to put up with her abuse anymore. I’m sure that the more wasted he got (to escape her and his situation with her) he would be less willing to accept it and be more angry at her about what she was doing to him and probably wanted to throw some mean words at her to hurt her, as she had been hurting him. Just some perspective. Not justifying his behavior in those moments, but trying to understand why he would get that way. Thank you for all the hard work you put into analyzing this testimony and providing this video for us. 💖 I appreciate you sharing all your expertise with us for FREE and I really think your knowledge will help/is helping a lot of people in the world. 💖 Thank You!!!

I find it interesting that, when she is giving her testimony of abuse, her gaze doesn't really "go" anywhere. It flits around and hovers on various points in the room. I know for me, when I am recounting something that was traumatic like domestic violence, it is very difficult for me to make even brief eye contact. I tend to find a reference point to focus on and ground myself with in order to be able to talk about those things.

This is the exact definition of perjury! I don’t know how she isn’t in trouble for lying under oath.

You're assessment on her statement of "walking away from me." was right on. There are audio recordings of her badgering Depp because he walks away from her. He testified of trying to get away from her, hiding in the bathroom, etc. She's a fighter, as stated to her therapist. She fights back, doesn't walk away. Also, the nose wiping and exaggerated lip bite towards the end of video go so against the norm of what a woman would do, in front of others, especially on camera, especially a starlet. Its all an act.

I've watched a lot of this trial and the way she explains the abuse is as if she's in a bad horror movie and the villain is just insistently always after her. She makes it seem like 24/7, just around the clock, it's Johnny hunting her down in her own home and just pummeling her at every turn. With the description of the abuse you'd think she was just a walking black and purple mess but the pictures are always so tame for the experience she's recalling.

I didn't even want to watch this because I'm tired of this drama, but you are so damn good I couldn't stop myself from watching all 40 minutes... amazing work. The only reason people were flaming you for not uploading sooner is because of your amazing talent... props

I'm almost glad that I didn't find these videos earlier, as watching them with the benefit of hindsight is extremely interesting. What impresses me the most is how you're able to pick up on even the slightest of details and you're consistently accurate in all of your analyses. This is masterclass-level content. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos! Subscribed!

When she does that story about not seeing Depp in his eyes, I felt overwhelming disgust. I literally reared back and turned away. I was empathetic in a weird way. I felt horrified at how humiliating for her to be lying SO BADLY and over the top. My friend calls it the "dumb chills." Like watching someone singing in a show and being the world's worst flat and sharp pitched overacting singer. You cringe because the notes are wrong AND because they person is making a fool out of themselves. Make it stop!

From Germany As a abused child, I NEVER told my horror like AH. She make me feel sick. 🤢 I'm afraid that the jury don't see and hear what most of us do. Johnny Depp should become justice, but I'm afraid that he again doesn't. 😳 I don't trust justice in the USA. 😕

At 35:30 when you said you’d bet the empaths wouldn’t feel anything seeing her testimony at that moment: I would consider myself an empath, and I felt a high level of secondhand embarrassment at that moment, both when I saw it live and seeing it again now. The first time I was cringing and needed to turn away because I felt so embarrassed. Like you said, I did feel a connection at the part of Mr. Depp’s testimony that you mentioned.

I have a lot of compassion I work with victims, I felt nothing for her during her testimony. I felt like almost everything she said was a lie besides all the word salad stuff. Lot’s of detail that has nothing to do with the story in my experience, liars do that. I’m so glad I have some time off to come back and watch these videos again. During the trial I only got to watch bits and pieces and never from start to finish. You did such an excellent job covering this.

The slap really upset me - having been slapped in the face many times during my childhood (I have a click in my jaw to this day from injury and I’m in my 50’s) I can say with total recollection when you get hit in the face, your brain scrambles to the opposite side of your head, and comes screaming back, with a combination of colours and pain - it’s not as she describes. Thank you for your analysis :)

I learned some things about my son with autism from this video! He does a lot of eye flickering and long heavy blinks when he doesn’t want to do something or be somewhere. But you said these are signs of stress, and that totally makes sense for him. I will be on the lookout for this now, not as signs of deception, but to gauge his stress levels. Very cool!

I was in a group of women that had been abused we went to weekly meetings in programs and i never saw any of us describe our abusers the way amber did...I hope this ends up helping rather than hurting women who have actually been abused

So glad you caught that "walking away from me". I caught it while watching the trial Live and was disappointed that no one jumped on it.

Wow just 10 minutes in and I can totally see the “taking the role as the agressor” as a red flag. Because having gone through a moment where I was dragged by the hair up a flight of stairs, when I retell this story I would always grab at my own hair like I did when it was being pulled. Trying to alleviate the weight on it. I remember the pain and thinking they were gonna rip it out, so I always kind of gesture at my own head. Wouldn’t make much sense to retell that story from the agressor’s POV. Great analysis so far!!

What is your opinion on her always calling him by his name "Johnny" in her testimony, while he calls her "Ms. Heard"? Being physically and sexually abused by him, wouldn't she be disgusted not to say his name anymore?

I'm a writer, and the things that stand out to me are those minor details she keeps throwing in: the carpet, the white tile, the darkness she saw because JD wasn't "there" anymore. All of these things would be excellent if she were writing a story--details to help the reader visualize the scene--but here they fall flat because people generally don't talk like that. The words we use communicating verbally are very different from those we use when writing. I think she wrote out her testimony before she took the stand or at least made notes about what she wanted to say, and perhaps included some of these details. In trying to remember what she wrote, she ended up keeping some of those in.

I used to apologize all the time to my abuser, When your constantly being told your a piece of shit, you believe it, so you are always the one to apologize, because you've been made to believe that your are the one who is the crazy one, when in reality, they are just warping your view of yourself so they can use it to there advantage.

I've never cried 'Bull****!' at my screen as much as I have watching her testimony. I have empathic tendencies and if someone's genuinely that distressed,I feel it. She fascinates and scares me in equal measure. I think this is going to be used in psychology classes forever as an example of narcissism in action. I don't think Johnny Depp is exactly a great intimate partner either, his texts were especially disturbing. But I don't think he's physically abusive, and he doesn't deserve this absolute malice directed against him.

Cried during Johnny’s testimony. Got the chills and felt fear watching Amber’s. Just realized this woman really scares me…

I score off the charts for empathy and during her testimony I felt no emotional connection at all; I not only didn't empathize with her, I didn't even pity her.

She said I loosened my grip!

When you said "Any empaths watching that would've felt nothing" you made me jump internally because that was exactly what I thought! When I was watching her contort her face and REALLY trying to sell it, all I did was cringe uncomfortably. I immediately thought of how I felt when I was watching Johnny, there was no exaggeration, just quiet retelling of his story, and yet I felt this deep pang of sadness the entire time and I really cried on his behalf. Anyway, your content is quality and I really appreciate the educational aspect of your channel, as a psychology student this is so interesting and valuable to me. Thank you! You don't owe anything to anyone and it's clear you do this out of love of behavioural arts, take your time and don't let the entitled people bring you down!

I find it interesting how often she is addressing the jury in her testimony where you normally see the person on the stand talking to the lawyer who is talking/asking questions. Her whole mannerisms is that she is preforming for a live audience.

"He hit me, hard. It didn't hurt..." Yeah, she's never been really hit before. The first time my mom hit me across the face when I was a teen, my head snapped back, my glasses flew off (and broke), and I saw light flashes. I froze (I've noticed since too that that's what I seem to do), and remember thinking later, "Wow, it never looks like it hurts THAT bad on TV!" And she's said on tape basically that he's so much bigger and stronger than her, "who would believe you?"

Spidey - love how you shared that you spent years as a therapist and how you explained the situation starting at about 4:40 in this video - you are spot on when you state how people who are/were in abusive relationships and they spoke how they met, you overwhelmingly saw signs of disgust. I was recently asked how I met my husband and your analysis rang true because I showed massive disgust and aversion. I am in an emotional and verbal abusive relationship (fortunately not physical) and I no way have happy and giddy memories of meeting my husband as Amber does.😖

I think that when you live with someone as crazy as AH there will come a time when you start to act just as crazy simply out of frustration because of all the lying and all the gaslighting they do. The nicest person can absolutely lose their minds when dealing with someone like her. I think JD only got crazy when he realized that nothing he did would change her insanity and controlling treatment of him. I grew up with a father who was this batshit crazy and there comes a time where you can't be yourself and trust that the other person won't treat you badly or abusively no matter how much you try to please and appease. I think any bad behaviour on JD's part is evidence of a person who had lost hope, started to retaliate in self defense and was desperate to find a way out. Even really nice, sweet, gentle people have a limit to what they can endure. As a survivor of abuse, that she took advantage of gender bias with respect to DV in our society is in my mind particularly disgusting. And let's face it, who runs the world? Narcissists do! The rest of us are just their stepping stones....Justice for Johnny!

When someone is a victim of narcissistic abuse, the victim can often lose it and lash out and they are made to feel like the crazy ones. But it is responsive to the abuse and headgames. So I actually have empathy for Johnny Depp in his lashing out on text. Reactive abuse is common from victims of narcissistic abuse. That's my take on it anyway. ..

I feel like the “dog stepped on a bee” was just a funny sentence to hear in such a serious case. Especially in moments of high stress when you find something that brings you joy it almost explodes (or at least disperses a large amount of stress albeit temporarily)

I was abused by a boyfriend when I was a teenager. I had this unhealthy obsession with him and really thought I loved him, so there were a few years there where I just thought he was the greatest guy ever. Now that I'm older and I realize that what he was doing was abuse (sexual, physical, and verbal), the thought of him literally makes me want to vomit. We actually ended up working for the same company, which is a super weird coincidence, and if I see him or even see his name on an e-mail chain, it triggers me. I know that word is overused, but I will actually have a full blown panic attack. When we realized that we were going to be working together after 20 years of not seeing him and both of us having moved to different states, but then returning back to our home state, he asked me to get a drink. I don't know why I did it, but he was pretty tipsy and actually sat at the bar and cried and apologized for everything that he did to me. I felt nothing. Thanks but no thanks. In a lot of ways, he ruined my life, and there's no amount of tears that are going to fix that. Anyway...Sorry for the long winded comment, but my point is that if someone asked me about the first time I kissed him, I would be repulsed. Even though back when it happened, I enjoyed it, but that's all just tainted now. It's probably not the healthiest thing, but I've literally blocked a lot of that stuff out. Most of my time with him is a blur. It's the only way I know how to function. If someone asked me about it during a trial, I sure as hell wouldn't be smiling!

With that ping pong table introduction, and the "black eyes" description, I belted out laughing during her testimony and I just thought to myself "you have been watching too many movies". Also, she slipped again just before that saying "I don't know if he had let go of my neck, or loosened MY grip" after being held down. Yes, I am very empathetic and I tend to tear up uncontrollably with the slightest mention of an other's pain. I felt NOTHING for Amber.

I wish the jury knew this stuff. The physical actions used while retelling a story really is amazing to understand.

4:35 comparing the way amber talked about that kiss to JD talked about that same kiss. You can see it in JD’s face how regretful JD was about having that kiss.

I lived with an "amber" for three years. Any sain humain can become nuts living with a person with these personality disorders. I too spent my days apologising for things i had never done because she conviced me that i did them. I too had reactive defences like breaking everything in the room because she totally pushed me to the edge. I think it's hard for someone who hasn't lived with an "amber" to get the whole picture. It's like falling in a spiderweb. She cuts you from your surrounding and from yourself and she constantly triggers you. She sucks everything you have inside. It totally drives you nuts. 25 years after i have not gone over the trauma. I have never been able to be with someone again. When JD said you live with it this the rest of your life it's not only the false accusations (hope he gets cleared from these) but also the hell he went through. Once you've been eaten by the spider you never restore what she has taken from you. Amber is still in an abusing mode big time. She still tries to suck out of him everything she can. I don't think she's after his monney that much. She wants the best that he has .. the charisma, the talent and beyond all the love and affection of the public. I think she's craving for that. I think that's why she's mimiking him so much. Me i'm totally taped to this trial (wich i follow mostly on Emilie's channel for the excellent inputs she gives). My surrounding do not anderstand why i'm so passionate with this (here in switzerland people are nor really interrested in this trial) ... i never told anyone what i went through 25 years ago... this trial brought everything back and is giving me a chance to express what i went through. And i see that it's the same for many survivors. Good thing. Now let's hope the jury will see where the truth is ... #justiceforjohnnydepp
