The fact that she repeatedly filmed him in secret and somehow *NEVER* managed to capture a single moment of him actually hitting her is very troubling.
There are small moments I think are true, after all it was a toxic co-dependent relationship where they were both abusive... BUT... I agree with you... she says he hit her with his rings on, hard enough for a drop of blood to hit the wall. Excuse me? You have pictures of 'bruises' as your proof... but say he hit you repeatedly over the years, bruising you over the years... he asks for a divorce and you TRO his ass while he is out of country and claim abuse. Nice move.
So my biggest question … if Johnny was trying to isolate and control her and such why did he let all her friends live right next door? Makes isolating pretty tough.
Exactly; she isolated him and the people around her. She kept them in a tight bubble. Had her friend and her friends boyfriend and her sister living right next to her. Keeps her victims close. And if you look at the pictures of Rocky and Whitney with Amber...they are just strange pictures. These people look damaged 😕
she was smart enough to take pics of Johnny to prove he had issues but when it came to taking pics of her injuries to document them, she suddenly couldn't think. How could anyone believe this bullshit?
I believe that she is kind of "on the set" for a movie here. It is easy to see when she have practiced what to say, and what is spontaneous. The way she looks at the jury is pretaught, almost like she is doing a roleplay. At least IMO 🤷🏼♀️
@@Deb501 I disagree. Deception irl is very different from acting on film and acting in theater. Also, liars don't lie because they're good at lying, but because they're morally corrupted.
@@Deb501that idea about actors being good liars is so funny to me. Actors prepare (sometimes for months) for a character, not only that but they have a script, directors who tell them how to portray the truth of the character better, rehersals, breaks, multiple takes, etc. Being on a stand, talking about your personal life while answering questions that you don't know specifically what they are going to be, is a very very different situation. As you can see here, even if you have months to prepare your testimony, if you are lying, if your story is false, it comes out that way.
“It didn’t hurt” are you kidding? Getting hit across the face hurts like hell, stings for a long time. He constantly wanted to have sex while going through drug withdrawals! That was by far for me the most ridiculous statement made so far. Anyone who has gone through withdrawals would know how extremely sick and dead your body is, you wouldn’t want sex if a gun was put to your head
I agree! The way that Johnny described his finger being cut off sounded way more credible. He said something like he couldn't feel it at first but then it felt hot - that is shock and endorphins, you don't say "it didn't hurt" I can understand wanting to bang *after* you've finished withdrawals, many of us substitute that for drugs and alcohol. But while you're going through it?! Absolutely the fluck not.
Nah, but you have to jack it feebly until it runs dry 1000 times. Something about withdrawal makes it a necessity. Lasts 2 seconds and isnt enjoyable, but it does somehow help for a second. That said, no full on smash sesh. That's energy a dude doesn't have when in the thick of it. Just pathetic microsecond long jacks while laying there almost dead. Kicking sucks.
I could believe it if she said, "it didn't hurt at first, then the pain started setting in" or "I felt like I blacked out, then it really started to hurt" I honestly don't believe he ever hit her the way she explains it. When you get hut, especially by a man, in the FACE, that HURTS.
Her testimony just proves Dr. Curry’s’ diagnosis was accurate 100% Histrionic Personality Disorder : defined by overly dramatic and very theatrical acts, intense unstable emotions, distorted self image. Emphasis on the very dramatic and theatrical acts
Yes, and she needs help. People with personality disorders can get better. Seems Johnnie's therapist told him to doodle to cope under stress. It's an artist's way of using their emotions. I believe that's why he wrote on the walls and mirrors, not because he was on illicit drugs, but because it was his "artistic" way of dealing with an insufferable woman and situation.
@@TzokoliT I agree and he d hardly be beating someone and then drawing. Or drawing and then beating someone. It seems it was his only outlet.. that and playing guitar or else walking away.jmo
As a husband, I would not want my wife going into my house alone with a guy like amber did with James Franco. That is not normal. She acts like Johnny should’ve been fine with that. And I honestly doubt she even told Johnny that he was going to be there.
"I'm being used" Johnny literally has everything, and yet he was so humble and down to earth. he even backs away at fights and never hurt her. The audacity of this woman lmfaoooo
Guys with everything can use and exploit a woman women with money can do the same to poor and young men. I’m not saying Amber is not guilty of what’s she’s being accused of. I’m just pointing out ppl with a lot are more likely actually to exploit those with less.
@@mobalias Correct but doesn’t have his kind of money can’t live his life style without him. It would be like someone making $40,000 a year and someone making $250,000 a year. Although she has some chunks of money again nothing near his fortune. Guarantee you Ambers not drinking those two $500 dollar bottles of wine a day like she did with him. That’s $360,000 a year her mere $10 million would be gone in no time. I think it’s rude she though just cause he was way richer then her it was ok to blow his money. That kind of wine just like Crystal isn’t something you can drink daily. Even for millionaires expensive drinks like that are for occasion’s or weekends only. That’s how millionaires go broke shit adds up if wine bill alone was $360,000 a year imagine all other things. In their short relationship she spent $14 million of his money more then she’s worth. You can’t just blow through money cause you are a millionaire that’s how you get broke again.
Replay crew: If Elaine is well respected for being someone who settles lots of cases, there must be a lot of attorneys watching this wishing they'd just gone to court.
Hard for her attorneys to prove truth when all they have is her lies to work with !... Theyve got a hell of a job to defend this person as they have no real evidence except for doctored photos...so they have to "believe" what amber says...!....
That explains why Elaine doesn’t seem to realize how irritating she is. I wonder how the jury is responding to her. Based on how JD’s attorneys are acting, the subdued way they object, how they don’t attack witnesses aggressively, that they read that the jury does not like how Elaine acts. At this point Elaine’s voice triggers annoyance in me.
That explains a lot. I've been saying since the trial started that she doesn't seem to have a lot of trial experience and it sounds like she probably doesn't.
The way she emphasized "Like a baby" when she said Johnny had to be carried inside. It's so obviously meant as a micro-aggression. I hope the jury remembers that.
So many of these! The disparaging narrative that makes everything all his fault and her a reluctant and completely innocent participant in the relationship is classically the way an abuser will retell the story.
The sad thing is, I'm starting to feel sorry for her because as narcissistic as she is, with proper therapy now knowing her personality disorder, she can wake up, make changes, and improve her life and relationships. No one in this case is a winner. But, it is good closure for the sake of Johnnie's kids. I'm not a Johnnie fan but now I'm seeing that he is one of those actors who is trying because experience showed he failed many times.
@@ajahanna6293 I couldn't stand listening to Dr. Hughes. It didn't make sense, it was confusing, redundant long words, too fast.... I hope she doesn't come back.
And she said finally. I felt this was his rockbottom. And I felt everyone was on the same page this being his rockbottom. That he would be finally getting help. I think rockbottom is for the person that is struggling. Not her feelings that this was his rockbottom.
Her testimony sounds like an audition tape for a role for a lifetime movie mixed with an interview for an editorial. She tends to skip over anything that may look bad on her or that she can't word right to make JD look bad. And the way she keeps talking straight to the jury is like she's talking to the audience of a talk show
I heard someone say her testimony looks more like an actress trying too hard to play the role of Amber Heard in a Lifetime movie. That's exactly how I feel.
I would be weirded out of I was on the jury! She stares at some of them (probably the ones she thinks is buying her story) for WAY too long. I have a sis just like her and I KNOW what Amber is. Her lies are so vague and all over the place. She changes the story when she thinks people aren't buying it.
Little detail, LOTS of fluff. Huge sign of lying. She says these small insignificant things with lots of drama and then goes into things that don’t matter. Very hallow answers. Can’t wait to see her cross examined when she MIGHT have to actually answer some of her contradictions.
Honestly, Amber's lawyers not understanding what hearsay is and constantly telling amber how to testify made this incredibly difficult to watch and felt very dishonest.
Are you talking about how they object to hearsay or leading. And then her Amber heards lawyer continues with another leading care say question and Albert continues to hearsay. But Johnny Depp‘s team does an object again even though they could? Is that what you’re talking about? Sorry I’m just trying to understand
@@Herstyleseduier think what they mean is that they only object when amber mentions hearsay(bec that could corroborate her testimony) but they don't object to anything She says when telling her story, they let her go on and on to let her dig a hole for herself, bec once she brings up certain things it opens the door for lawyers to dispute it.. and they have a lot of evidence that disputes her claims -thus it becomes her story vs everyone else.
I was there in court those days. Camille was AWESOME! I also sat next to Johnny and his team's driver and during the breaks he was like "Maam, can I ask you what you think of everything shes saying up there??" I was like, Well I think shes a lunatic! Shes offending almost every woman in the courtroom with these lies because most of us have ACTUALLY been through Domsetic violence or sexual assault at some point." He was so relieved to hear me say that. And she was staring at the poor jury the entire time, yet they were NEVER looking at her. Faces literally buried in the screens they had or taking notes. It was BIZARRE.
Dr. Curry was on freaking point with her! I don’t believe a word she is saying. No tears, no real emotion, just emptiness. She is just saying what she thinks other victims would say. Getting slapped hurts and you would remember that feeling. She’s pathetic and a liar!
Ya she says it didn't hurt her. She felt nothing. Even after she was raped by a bottle didnt feel pain and bleeding the next day she didnt feel anything! My ass! She just wanted to leave that stuff out.
I don't at all support Amber Heard, but as someone with mental health issues and many abusers over the years, there comes a point where you just run out of emotion to put forth.
The worse is that the woman have no limits, everything is open every intimate part of their lives. She is so finished in Hollywood and what man will trust her ever?
Hmmm. Ms Heard took pictures of her husband in awkward and humiliating positions but she did not take pictures of her cut up feet or her other injuries she spoke of. Did I miss these?
Don’t forget the broken nose and being punched in the face countless times and being flung around like a rag doll and cut arms and feet because of all the broken glass, & of course having a bottle repeatedly forced into her vagina! That girl would have been a complete mess & would have had to be hospitalised .
Yeah and that's love? Taking pics of ur hubby in compromising positions or provoking him when he's at his worst then recording the reaction when he got upset.. what a loving caring wife she was! I hope the jury gets to see the photo of her doing scenes for Dutch Girl, dancing around in a leotard with bare feet right after she supposedly got her ass kicked and her feet cut up with all the Glass he dragged her through in Australia-Smh..the only person with documented injuries in this relationship was JD!
Yup I knew someone that was the picture queen Yet didn't have 1 picture of the alleged abuse... she completely reminds me of Amber (in behavior) fear of abandonment manipulative liar... im wondering if she has the same disorder as Amber...its disgusting behavior
Her dramatic tales about how much she adored those children was weird. Johnny said his kids wanted nothing to do with her. She has lied about everything
I agree! First, I wouldn't want anyone to know I'm seeing a therapist; second, I wouldn't introduce my therapist to friends & family; third, was that a ploy by AH so that the therapist could watch & study JD? Did AH anger JD so that the therapist could confirm(?) JD's behavior? Sounds like something AH would do; manipulation to the hilt!
It’s unprofessional and her therapist should have said “no”. My therapist actually told me not to be hurt if she sees me in the real world and doesn’t acknowledge me unless I acknowledge her first. It’s not a good look.
@@phatpharm06 I think that is the standard for all therapists. They only will acknowledge you after you do first because of patient confidentiality. But I can't see them just attending a wedding for fun. It would break the client/provider boundaries.
@@1ACL What was the context for that anyways? In what world would a doctor do that and not lose his license for inappropriate behavior? Did she report him?
She does not take responsibility for anything in this relationship. She is constantly trying to make herself out to be some kind of angel and; Johnny was a constant monster. It's really hard for me to believe that everyone is lying to one person. It is even more difficult for me to believe that she had time to take pictures of him sleeping and passing out, but she doesn't have any recordings of him berating her. It is difficult for me to believe that she doesn't have one of these witnesses that she speaks of to testify yet. Then she outlines these horrific stories abuse but no photos.
I think that sticks out to a lot of people--in the recordings, you hear her berate him and instigate a lot, but in her retelling, she's always the meek little mouse who's always tiptoeing around his unpredictable temper. What really stood out to me, was the video where she came into his slamming the cabinets, and she's asking him 'What happened? What happened? Babe, what happened?". It's not in a tone of someone asking their partner why their upset and trying to understand, so they can try to calm them down, like, 'hey babe, what's wrong? what's got you so upset? Is there anything I can do to help?'... her tone sounds more like she's goading him. All these witnesses, pictures, or recordings...and nothing of him hitting her, or hell, even swinging at her. Especially after the 'main' incident, no pictures of her feet all torn up, no video of him waving his self-inflected bloody finger at her, just a few pictures 'a few days later' (and then some more after a few more days) of some bruises, and some barely bruises on her face, in all of which she's wearing the same shirt. Which yeah, bruises change/develop over time, but... Her whole story just doesn't add up.
@@fallen0angel yeah and there is 1 recording after she filed the TRO where he's asking her to fix all this in a joint statement after she screwed him over but all she cares about is her credibility, her reputation-with no regard to his & not ONCE does she say its bec he did anthing wrong .. She literally says she hurt him due to fear of his reaction to things she did to him.. That pretty much solidified it for me... you dont say or do that if you love someone. Plus all the inconsistencies with her version of events, the fact her stories all paint him as the only aggressor and her the innocent angel we know shes nit from the audio, its not real and her story has holes where you can tell something is missing. Its not just she said/he said, it's her version VS literally everyone else's and the fact she has no proof. Not everyone that didn't see her bruises was a Depp employee, the police didn't even know who her husband was at that time and why on earth would the door man lie for him? I get its her testimony and some things are plausible but most just doesn't ring true, the more exaggerated the claims, the kore you have to back it up... i would think her lawyers would tell her to tone it down a bit. Honestly, I thought she would go with the mental abuse claims, @least she has audio of the name calling (from both sides) instead of doubling down on the Physical stuff that she has no real time proof they even existed. 🙄 As far as her notifying people of the injuries, I hope they have to describe the marks on her because although she did notify people, like Isaac and the make up artist, they both stated they saw nothing there. It's all very Gone Girl, I'm surprise she didn't write a fake journal. IDK, I suppose it depends on how the jury defines abuse but if they see all these seemingly huge exaggerationsthat everyone else sees, then they should take everything else she says with a grain of salt.
Very good point. Johnny duri g his testimony was truthfull about his drugs, about loosing his temper and hitting kitchen cabinets . The only thing he denies doing is physically abusing his manipulative, sadistic psychopath of an ex-wife. But Heard absolutely takes no responsibility for her acts, none! Everything she has done is somehow Depp's falt everytime. That does not sit right with me at all, besides the rest of the things that we notice.
@@sandraaudette8949 Sticking to emotional abuse would have made such a stronger case against him. I too have no doubts that parts of her story are true--it looks like things got really nasty between them--but anything that has to do with him causing her any physical harm falls completely flat. I can look past the no-tears-'crying', and the lack of any tone change when her voice breaks, AND even the almost immediate composure when another question is asked, trauma effects everyone differently, but nothing in her stories adds up. Both to her own 'evidence', or anyone else's. If he was holding her hostage for three days, but within the first day he's 'blacked out', like apparently so often happened, why couldn't she leave then? And yes, while a lot of abuse victims won't seek medical attention, for a multitude of reasons, she had her own private nurse! She could have made up some 'we got drunk and kinky and maybe it got a little out of control' or something. Which absolutely sucks, because this type of shit isn't something you lie about, and not enough people are believed when it actually happens to them. People die at the hands of their partner because 'he was such a nice guy' or 'she was the perfect wife'. I also find it hard to believe that early on she told her mom about it, and she didn't do anything, like 'Oh no. We'll let's just hope he doesn't do anything like that again.' Granted, my daughter's only a year old, but I cannot imagine her telling me that her partner was smacking her around, and me not doing anything about it. I don't even care about 'celebrity' news, but this whole thing is infuriating, and it's great to see Johnny not only get to tell his story, but clear his name as well. Sidenote: I feel like I need to read/watch Gone Girl now because I keep seeing people point out the very strong similarities.
Also, does anyone get the sense that when Camille let's amber drone on and on and on there's an awkwardness to her monologue. Like amber has no idea.what to say but she's being allowed to keep droning and talking and it's really awkward because she's begging for someone to object so she can break because it's so hard thinking on her feet 😂
AH reminds me of a kid that is looking for visual clues that the lie she just told was believed. She will keep rambling until she gets that confirmation or she is stopped from talking.
@@czhaok Thats a good point! I think Amber's mental health diagnosis is in alignment with the propensity to be dodgy and get out of predicaments and even tell straight up lies (I've known others with BPHD) but it's usually quick and they are off running so to speak. But in this case Amber can't just quickly lie then avoid everything so her lie just gets worse and worse and more unbelievable. She never thought she'd have to do this in a courtroom. She's used to never being held accountable for the damage she causes.
Also, my ex husband was an opiate addict. When he went through withdrawal he could barely pick himself up from the bed, couch or bathroom floor. If Johnnys was going through withdrawal on the plane I don’t think he’d have the strength to kick her. Opiate withdrawal is painful and practically debilitating.
this also really surprised me. If it was any severe detox but ESPECIALLY opiate withdrawal he would not have been able to chase her around the house and throw her onto things like she's describing. Opiate withdrawal is one of the worst pains and most debilitating bodily illnesses you can experience, especially since a lot of addicts haven't felt pain of even normal severity in the years they were using so have 0 tolerance. Also, the concept that any doctor would be ok with him genuinely detoxing with only his new wife to supervise is.... untenable, no matter how much of a yes man she's claiming he was. People die from detox. Suggesting someone do it as part of a vacation with only non medical personel for long periods between "check ins" is begging for a malpractice suit. Honestly this testimony even made me rethink her characterization of the severity of his addiction not just his actions, which wasn't something I was questioning before.
even for me being completely teetotal, it would be hard to kick a person in the back either because of my mediocre flexibility or my clumsiness, so how could Johnny do it without falling or losing his balance? It doesn't makes sense
I was addicted to opiates for many many years. He might have gotten pissy…probably because she was pushing his buttons. But you most definitely don’t have the strength to do what she’s claiming.
The fact that people die from detox makes me think that’s what she was hoping for by denying his medication. I mean that’s just my thought.. there’s some moments that seem like things were heading in that direction, but that’s just my thought.
Oh my god yes! Had a lot of oxy after surgery, granted not an addict at all. But coming off it, I remember barfing, diarrhea, feeling feverish, staying in bed. hm 🤔
The idea that Johny wouldn't let her have jobs that sexualized her or that she stopped taking roles if they had a sex scene, kissing, or revealing clothing is utter bull. Syrup, Magic Mike, Paranoia, The Ward, and Three Days to Kill are just a few movies she did while married to him that included all of those things.
20:00 Yes - JD gave AH career advice. He was put in a box of being the “hot, teen heartthrob” early on in his career. IMO JD was giving advice on how to be successful- by taking a variety of roles - instead of always being cast as “the hot girl” with kissing and sex scenes. He wasn’t being controlling he was helping her succeed. If AH wanted to be viewed as more than just “the hot girl” she had to dress and act the part - that’s why JD was helping her with her wardrobe // reviewing scripts, etc. and she knows
@@theRealSara exactly. As well as saying do not go to a concert with your costars and give the gossip columns fodder. That is because he's lived under the glare of the paparazzi and rumors for a long time. He's knows it causes friction in the relationship and at work.
Both her parents were addicts? But, they also both held jobs, her mum worked for a govt agency, so wouldnt have been poorly paid...! She kept saying she supported her family....! What a crock
Exactly, I was just thinking that. Fucking shamelessly, under oath, in the same room as someone you're accusing of being sexually assaulted by violently and in such a gross way, knowing it's literally based off pure imagination..which is scary, maybe that's her fetish. She WiSHeS he had jit her, then she could have taken him for everything..she's jealous of his daughter too, I wonder if that was the reason she tried to take him down (because she knew it would affect his daughter in a huge way )
Yeah, once you realize that a person can lie so easily to your face or whoever, it really changes things. It shakes your core morals and values, you may even have a permanent change in how you view things in the world.
I watched her testimony live, now I’ve come back to watch with Emily’s commentary. At about 2.30 Emily says “something about this is odd”, i don’t think Emily could have imagined just how odd it was about to get.
Looking back at it now it’s even funnier. Especially watching dr Hughes testimony and Emily being outraged about it and knowing Dr Spiegel would be coming up 😂
Her testimony ia so unbelievable. She talks about music being such a big thing in her life, goes to concerts, dates musicians and artists, but isn't sure what "a single" is?
She's lying say a broken Nose without anyone seen it if look on a fight and see how look like are not Look nice are face get swell up and are no make up in world hide that and can not breath from nose need doctor to out in pipes in nose so breath not get problem later from take Weeks to heal so none has seen that and say everything That was in movie set and that not a week after are Impossible to miss that
The pictures of him literally just sleeping are so creepy to me. It reminds me of my abusive ex who would take pictures/video of my reactions to his abuse to use out of context. Like she was just trying the whole time to record things that she could use to kind of look suspicious, and since none of the pictures are particularly shocking she just has a metric ton of pictures of him asleep sitting up, which older men do all the dang time, but she's trying to make it seem so sinister. She shows a picture of him asleep with a little blanket on and is like "yes this is when he was accusing me of having affairs" which... excuse me, how is this evidence of that?... honestly very sad.
Exactly! Like the poor guy is as old as my dad and it wouldn't be hard for me to gather a hundred pictures of him sleeping various places at various times, after work(or yard work) and a burbon to relax he's out like a light 😂 but according to amber heard that would be him On a bEnDeR PaSsEd oUt
This poor creature has no core "self". She is just stringing together odd bits from movies, books, perhaps other relationships, projections-- just making it up as she goes along, and the longer it goes the more obvious its story-telling. Its just over the top! Keep going!
The only poor thing here is Johnny :/ Guy is exhausted from work and tries to sleep - but gets a photo taken and is claimed to have passed out from "abuse".
It's a little unnerving how similar to Gone Girl the Makers Mark bottle insert is... The most jarring part is when she tells the truth: JDs jealousy ('don't do sex scenes'/'why are you hanging around with James Franko' etc) and the destruction of property (JD destroying the phone & throwing her clothes down the stairs, but not hurting anyone). She speaks so much more fluidly/quickly about the jealousy & property destruction versus the physical/sexual abuse, which feels like a poorly acted performance (the dramatic pauses, the sorrowful looks towards the jury, the absence of tears). I really hope she isn't lying about the sexual & domestic abuse. Because, holy smokes, what a damaging thing to do to real survivors.
I think the judge is being super patient in order to close appeal gaps. She's over-compensating for AH's lawyer, who could, IMHO, be considered incompetent.
I watched her full testimony yesterday… What struck me was that, even from the very start of the relationship (prior to the reported descent to extreme abuse), she was photograping him sleeping/zonked, photos of drugs, photos of this and that… We have no real context for why he is falling asleep in his chair. Yes - he has major substance abuse problems and a temper, but he was also putting in long, physical days on sets. I.e.: context?!? Also, that he was with a partner who was documenting negative things from the start…this makes me very sad.
Because she always had an agenda to use and abuse JD. If he had sexually and physically abused her then given her MO there would have been video/photo evidence. She also has selective memories and her testimony lacks cohesion.
Considering how mocking, condescending and arrogant she appeared in her previous deposition and interviews, I actually have a feeling she was taking the pictures to show her enabling, free-loading friends as in, “look at that old loser, ah!” Same with the “bruise” photos, which are in the typical injection sites for Botox and fillers. I have a feeling she took those to beyatch at the injector but later went, “hmmm, these could be used in a different context to my advantage”... (you have photos of minimal bruising on your face but none of you sliced up feet “flailing over broken bottles”? Uh-uh. Kay. 🤥 I hope they’ll address the fact that she conveniently denies access to her cloud and cell phone records... She is obviously very materialistic, look at the expression in her face when she keeps bringing up all his material possessions and that “giant diamond ring”. I mean, if you were abused to the point of ptsd, wouldn’t you want to get as far away from triggers as possible? Yet, as part of the divorce, she was demanding that she and her enabling free loading posse keep living rent-free in those penthouses?? 🤔💀🔪🤥
Yup - blackmailing people is clearly her Modus Operandi - she's done it to Elon Musk, Johnny Franco, Leo DiCaprio, and I''m not sure if she has blackmailed Jason Momoa, but she certainly seduced him and is an expert "homewrecker!"as she is with most wealthy men! And what about stealing the embryos that her and Elon created? She asked if she could use one, I THINK he took her to court about it as he didn't want to have any children with her after they split up. Somehow, she found a loophole (she probably threw a vodka bottle at the Laboratory Manager and threatened to cut his finger off if he did not hand it embryo over hahah) and had the embryo implanted in a surrogate therefore Elon would be 9 months months behind the pregnancy and be none the wiser about the stolen embryo! How much Child Support would one of the wealthiest men in the world have to pay??
I felt uncomfortable during Johnny's testimony because I could feel his pain, and embarrassment, and sadness. I feel uncomfortable during Amber's testimony but I cannot put my finger on why. I feel repulsed.
I’ve been assaulted (2 head punches, in Baker Square, after being kept in the house for a couple of hours) and my policy is to believe the weaker/less social clout of the two. But I agree-my stomach starts twisting as she starts describing, and sometimes as she’s kind of smirked during his or others’ testimony. She makes my hair stand on end and I keep wondering how many women will be Not believed because of her-especially in Britain.
@@wylldflower5628 I am really sorry you had to go through such horrible violence. And as you said my policy is also to believe the weaker/less socially powerful party. And Johnny Depp is probably the only exception to this rule. And it is damn pitiful that the most public and high profile case (if we do not count Weinstein - but even that did not receive hour by hour live streaming watched by millions) is the one in which a woman seems to be a lying. The damage to any future victim (and the vast majority of victims are women) is irreparable.
@@lenusniq_9746 I think the one takeaway I’m (relatively) happy about is that I know zero women who believe her and the level of discomfort in listening to her seems quite consistent. For me when I like his roles I really enjoy him but while I think he’s a very unique actor, not all of his movies appeal to me and he’s not my favorite actor. Still, I believe his testimony, and hers so far just puts me on edge and makes me balk. But if the world sees, and can trust their judgement, I’m hopeful that will be a good thing in the long run.
I'm rewatching this testimony after watching The Behavior Panel talk us through some parts of this testimony and they explain exactly why you feel uncomfortable with Amber's testimony... ...in short.. ...it is because she's essentially talking sh!t and you're sensing it You should give it watch...it is quite interesting if you're into that kinda thing... ..fair warning... ..it spans over a few episodes and they go long.. ..but still... ...interesting
As one who has lived years of the worst IPV , I didn't believe a word she said. It may have had elements of half truths but the story itself was created in her mind to win this case and her reputation back. When I started to talk about my experiences I came across with no emotion, I had to separate myself from the memories in order to vocalize my experiences. Others I know physically broke down, they didn't go from falling apart to fine to falling apart like this. The over dramatization mixed with SO MANY descriptions of her feelings and details and then say she can't remember in between, rings terribly untrue. Narcissists, sociopaths... CAN lie about things this swrious and create elaborate stories that never end, just to get sympathy or ruin someone. I found no sincerity in any of her testimony, I literally can't wait to hear cross examination!!
It's getting really old how people, like yourself, are constantly saying things like "When I would talk about my DV, I was very emotional consistently", or "barely able to talk", etc. Everyone is different. Every situation is different. You can't paint everyone with such a broad brush. Or expect them to say and do the same things others have. I was in a very abusive relationship/marriage for over 2 decades. When I finally filed for divorce, I was able to keep it together, even though I was nervous AF. My Attorney told me not to show emotion, and to only speak when asked a question. Some days I was all over the place. Some days not being able to remember certain things. Some days angry, sad, frustrated, afraid, you name it! Insert every emotion there is when you're re living such a nightmare for so long. 15 yrs have passed and it still affects me. Of course I'm in a much better place now than I was back then. I did question some things/actions during direct, but I don't know her personally. I'm not Amber Heard. Her story is different than mine, and probably yours. Different people, different backgrounds, different personalities, different situations, etc. It seems that she has tried to move on, yet Depp keeps dragging her back to court. That has to be frustrating as shite.
Specially the one description of the filthy carpet and also the detailed description of her breath on the “ window of the door of the car “ 😬 The intensity with which she is describing the alleged assaults - should have made her look like battered up.
I and also, she said, and I quote: “ we were walking out of the bedroom, and Johnny slapped me IN THE FACE, and I TURNED TO LOOK AT HIM”. No shit. She seriously said that
The way she scrunches her face up in disgust when she’s describing how much she loves johnnys kids 😂🥴 she scares the crap outta me. She would happily push them off a cliff when nobody’s looking, I can feel it. She definitely has Cinderella step mother vibes.
She couldn’t care less about his children she’s mentioning them to get a rise from JD. It’s how narcissists work. They antagonise and antagonise with what they know goes to the heart of the other person. Then the other person reacts in anger and they say see look they’re crazy!
Dude she seriously took audio of him in pain detoxing and saying he’s howling and being abusive. Oh my god she exploited everything there was to exploit about him. Just wow. What an awful person. I can’t believe how much I’m commenting on this she’s unbelievable I can’t imagine what he went through if I’m exhausted watching her testify in court and he did this for years. No wonder he drinks and does drugs.
Yea she had so much time taking photos and audios instead of being proactive lol. To me, she appears to be someone who is vengeful. If I love and care for someone, I definitely would not do that. Invading privacy. I feel she had planned all of this.
Plus the fact making noises like that in general is super common with people with neurodivergencies especially when in stressful situations (stimming). Like if someone filmed me everytime I was going "Aaaaaaa" just because I like the way it feels in my throat or would probably look pretty damn concerning too
I'm on opiates for RSD. I have withdrawal feelings if I take my medication late. I could not imagine being so addicted to pain pills and having to detox. That is something I have always feared being on pain pills for 15 years so I take them only when I have to which is daily but try not to every 12 hours. But boy my body starts feeling so weird that I have to take a pill even if I feel pain wise I'd be ok to wait. I feel for Johnny and everyone that has to detox off pain meds.
Who really does that if she wasn't planning on doing this or blackmailing him from the start? Who would want to humiliate their partner by recording them detoxing?
😂😂 Umbridge calling the doctor the wrong name multiple times, not being able to pronounce medications or drugs, not seemingly understanding the basics of testimonies…. Girl it’s time to retire 😂
She’s either misguided or emotionally ignorant if she thinks coming off as angry and petulant about JD’s addiction issues reads like a victim. Generally victims of DV stay in abusive relationships out of an admixture of fear of and compassion for their abuser. If she had an iota of empathy in her voice as Johnny did for her in his testimony she would have had greater chances of swaying the jury. In this case, her performance reads exactly like Dr. Curry’s testimony indicated - histrionic, BPD.
I agree with you 💯 because when I first started listening,and watching her pathetic attempt of telling her story I was thinking OMG! Dr Curry pegged her down to a tee..
plus, she wants to paint herself as having loved him and helped him through it...yet clearly thinks struggling with addiction AUTOMATICALLY makes you an abuser and loser. Theres ZERO empathy for what those with addiction face, nevermind that if I was being abused in the way Depp describes, I'd probably accidentally get addicted to drugs to while trying to numb the pain. Abusers, esp those with histrionic, are quick to turn the faults of everyone else into a personal attack but can never evn admit ONE fault of theirs (her going on the claim shes only ever done drugs twice and otherwise shes a perfect angel...) Her supporters also have a nasty habit of victim blaming and making addiction sound like it makes you a monster. its disgusting
@@rainestar82 well said! She shows no signs of empathy towards his disease. Getting clean and sober and staying that way is a lifelong process. She didn’t seem supportive in the work he’d have to do on a daily basis. The abuse he sustained would make it difficult to stay clean, I’d probably relapse too, accidentally on purpose. You know to numb.
@@rainestar82 Exactly, and btw opioids (and maybe cocaine) are more likely to *elevate* mood, if anything. Those substances don’t seem likely to magically turn one into an angry, physically abusive, monster …he may have referred to his *addiction* as a monster he struggled with, but I don’t think they made that clear in testimony. I wonder if they’ll circle back to that later.
I will absolutely scream bloody murder if the jury doesn't see through this woman's terrible acting. I believe maybe 15% of what she has said and that 15% is the part where he bought her tons of gifts and treated her like a princess and he did drugs. I don't believe a word of the abuse. I think even the verbal abuse is being cherry picked to a ridiculous degree.
They have to pick ⛏️ apart the verbal abuse for at least 2 reason: there is no physical abuse and they're trying to hide or diminish the verbal abuse from her. I can think of other reasons but that's what popped into my head 😂 when I read the comment.
I also wanna note as someone who was in a physically and verbally abusive relationship, I eventually got to the point where I too called my abuser a number of horrible things after he put me through hell so I am completely sympathetic to anything Johnny spat her way since it has been proven he was directing it towards his abuser 😓
I think she even lied about the drugs and drinking a bit. Yes, he clearly has substance abuse issues. That's a given. But she has exaggerrated his use in some ways and downplayed or omitted her role in exacerbating his issues at other times. At one point she says he took 8-10 pills because she "did the math" to figure that out. Her lawyer then asks whether he took that many or that's how many were left. Obviously, Amber had gone off script from what they discussed. In one of the many recorded arguments, Amber tries to drink fron JD's wine glass when she has her own. He tells her their relationship has gone past the time when they could share glasses. She freaks out of course. It sounds like he gives her his glass and takes hers. Someone pointed out that his speech starts to slur DURING the convo. She may have done the whole thing just to get him to take her glass into which she slipped something. She uses his under-the-influence behavior as an attack on his character, but how much of that behavior was because she plied him with or secretly laced his food/drink with additional substances?
Did anyone else notice when AH talked about JD's first marriage proposal she made the comment about getting butterflies "under her skin" which I thought was a really weird thing to say then she talked about the second proposal and only showed genuine happiness when she talked about the "humongous" diamond ring. I really believed she was happy when she got that ring!
Yeah like it kinda grossed her out? Made me think of someone saying they feel like they have bugs crawling on their skin but oooooh a giant diamond! $$$$$$ shes a gross human being
Yeah, *weird* is exactly how i described it too. It is like she's never had a genuine feeling and she's using a common expression, but got it laughably wrong.
I commented this somewhere else. She showed disgust and anger during his first proposal but was only genuine when she talked about the ginormous diamond at the second one. The "Goldigger" song immediately came into my head when I saw her pleasure at remembering that.
The reason there were two proposals is because the first time the ring he had (the ring he showed Savanah Guthrie in an interview where he first reveals he's engaged to amber) she was unhappy with how small it was so he kept the damn thing and wore it himself and bought the humongous diamond ring she got so excited about the second go round.
Did she say she stared him down on the plane for embarrassing her? Never have I ever heard of an abuse victim staring down their abuser. That would certainly not diffuse or stop the abuse. It would be a hard push on the escalation button.
I think she says those things because she wants to appear like she is 'hard' it reminds be of those bully type people you get in every town where they have a reputation of don't mess with me and fighting. She is talking out of both sides of her mouth. She even said "you should see her" when a photographer asked her why her foot was in a cast, wtf. She is weird.
Her testimony doesn’t line up with the experiences of other DV victims or the detox process of addicts or SO of addicts. No one wants sex deep into detox. The nerves feel like they’re on fire is how it’s been explained to me
Side note- If you watch The Rum Diaries- she's a lot like her character. I have a copy of it, but only watched it once years ago. I rewatched it the other day- after their characters meet, Johnny's character said, "Oh God. Why did she have to happen? Just when I was doing so good without her. " truer words were never spoken!
Johnnys character in London fields also says to her face “do you have a personality disorder, narcissist ? “ you could tell he was living for that line.
Yes it is weird that your abuser would invite your "BFF" to live near you or with you cause one of the first things is to alienate you from your support group to control you.
She does a lot of self-editing as she testifies. My personal favorite is: "I took a bunch of sleeping pills- well, not a bunch, two, which is a lot for me." It doesnt get much more hilariously NOT believable than that. I can smell the bs from my house!
I noticed when someone is a abuser it's starts at a early age and it is a pattern in every relationship. AH has a pattern of this behavior and JD does not.
Amber is “effectively” showing a great example of flight of ideas. Giving long winded responses jumping from one thought to next and still managing to not answer the questions asked.
5 minutes in to her testimony, I don't believe a word she's saying. Everything is random, she's all over the place. All these disjointed words and thoughts. She feels like the luckiest girl in the world to be marrying him but she's been taking pictures of him drunk, passed out, threatening her? No. Absolute liar.
She keeps saying how he was passing out and crying uncontrollably, but he was filming at the same time. How could he be working while being so out of control?
30:00 she’s sobbing, lawyers asks a question. There’s a slight pause for them to get evidence and BAM she’s got her neutral bored face on again. It’s like the director said cut.
OMG Elaine literally brought up the point that “she never went anywhere without makeup on” and she just said no makeup cause of him…. Wth is wrong with these people.
I don't believe for a second any of johnnys security would do nothing if he was beating on her. They all seemed professional decent guys I don't care he was their boss they wouldn't allow it
When they asked his security guy if he’d ever physically seen Johnny do drugs other than weed and he answered with “no, he would never embarrass me like that” makes me feel like the security guy wouldn’t stand for any shenanigans reguardless of how big of a star Johnny is. So I highly doubt he would watch him beat his wife and not do or say something…
3:12:21 “I use it with my kids all the time. What happened at school today? ‘I’m bored’ Objection: non responsive.” That made me laugh so much. Love it!
if she was the victim, she would never chase him to fight more. She corners him and while he does lash out emotionally, which might not be right for sure but even the tamest of bunnies will lash out if pushed into a corner. It is a flight or fight syndrome. If he actually caused physical abuse to her, she would NEVER chase him to a room. In fact, quite the opposite. If she was truly the abusee she would have that "walking on egg shells" feeling and would not move much or say much at all if he got fired up, because she would be afraid anything she says or does would set him off. No this is a classic narcissistic abuser response.. chasing after him and fighting more, pushing the limits. You do not need a fancy degree to know that a typical abused person would NOT push the boundaries and chase the fight!
The only time I fought back was when my ex-husband, after beating me up, packed my son's things and told me he was taking him. I called the police in the bathroom while he was packing. The cops didn't come for what seemed forever when I said he was hitting me but when I started screaming into the phone two of them showed up and I walked out of the bathroom to hear them tell him to put the child down and turn around with his hands up. I grabbed my son and went back inside and they took my ex away. Definitely afraid, anxious, so many emotions going through me. But all I thought about at that time was my baby. *These comment sections are becoming like little therapy sessions, with people not only standing with Johnny but some sharing publicly the abuse they endured and a lot of people supporting one another. Beautiful.
Yes and he always tried to avoid stuff with her! She’s just unrelenting . I mean cant you tell when its time to leave it alone and to tomorrows another day?!
It's so obvious when she's telling a "story" & when she's being honest about her feelings - I really hope the jury can hear/see this also. I have heard that it is primarily a male jury.
We get to sit here watching and go back and watch red flag moments (aka every second she's on the stand) as many times as we need to. It's so outlandishly easy to miss things like key expressions and body language when you get to see things just once in real time and have to make your brain move along and keep up with new information coming at a pace you have no say in.
I do hope they bring up the Corden show again because there’s testimony from her makeup artist that AH had no bruising, no split lip & no broken nose. In fact the make up girl was shocked when AH said after the show wow I did that with two black eyes & a broken nose.
@@LC-ru1xl Yes, she is. & There are some REALLY incredible ppl that have been watching from the start & remember everything in interviews & depositions & testimonies. They have been crazy good & bringing attention to those. She has contradicted herself so many times it's ridiculous! But don't take anyone's word for it. Make your mind up. Based on what you feel from her testimony & the evidence. I absolutely recommend going to Incredibly Averages channel & watching (listening) to the hours of audio & look at her testimony from the UK trial. Check out her deposition video from I think 2016. That is a REAL..... peach. Observe channel has a really GREAT breakdown from that deposition. But yes it's a fact shes lied about a LOT! Is everything a lie? I'm not really sure factually. But to me.... Yes I pretty much don't believe anything she's says now. Happy Hunting! ❤️
listening to her testimony after depp's team's psychologist perfectly illustrated the mannerisms and vocabulary and mental gymnastics she would do is uncanny...
I know someone with BPD. She is exactly like Amber. Never ever sees, or admits, her responsibility in any mess she's created. One time she called us and was trying to get us to pick her up from her BF's because they'd gotten in a fight. He was such a nice guy. We were not taking her bait and just trying to get her to calm down instead. Then out of the fn blue she says "You need to come get me, he hit me!" We asked if he'd hit her just this very second and she said no, earlier. Ok, lady... if he'd hit you before you called us, I'm sure you'd have led with that. She wasn't getting the reaction from us that she wanted and started to make shit up to get us to feel sorry for her. Disgusting.
That's exactly how this testimony felt today. "Here's my story....nobody cares....ok he did all this destruction....nobody cares... ok he did this horrible thing with a bottle....WAT why not fucking mention that before?
Johnny Depp is the same man of integrity that we've ALWAYS seen and known him to be, because his character is consistent. The person whose character is really in question is that of Amber Heard. She is a selfish and immature person, who relishes in prolonging arguments to exhaustion. She was an angry person long before he met Johnny. Johnny was who he is now and thank goodness he divorced her. She was upset from day 1 about the prenuptial agreement, so here we are.
Jonny is a TEXTBOOK addict… she should know this- but I do not believe the abuse accusations at all. Being an addict does not equal abuser. She is trying to portray the hero/ victim- but she calls him a baby for not being able to take a punch like a man.
I know. She knows we all heard the audio of her acting abusive. But she's not even incorporating that evidence into her narrative and admitting she did anything wrong. She's the innocent victim, never in the wrong. Give me an fn break.
I think she keeps narrating emotions (ie. "I know it's confusing, but," "I know it doesn't make sense, but," "It sounds silly, but," etc.) for a couple of reasons. 1. To appear more endearing and relatable to the jury 2. She wants to evoke agreement in the jury's mind. And 3. She wants to create an overall more believable narrative by covering her bases. She acknowledges gaps and things that don't exactly seem to make sense to try to appear more honest and forthcoming.
This is how borderlines operate. They want you to see and agree with the fantasy that they’ve created and in order to do that, you HAVE TO be a part of (participant in) their delusion. So she tells you what to think/ feel and presents it as if it’s fact.
I can’t imagine being in a relationship where my spouse is spending so much time taking photos of me SLEEPING and just recording everything I do..it’s giving manipulation vibes and I’m not into this at all. It’s scary honestly x
Having been in a relationship with someone who abused drugs, there are elements to her story regarding his behavior that ring true. My late husband was an absolute nightmare after he had been on a cocaine binge. The paranoid episodes were insane. He believed I had trained with the FBI (we're South African!), he was convinced I had installed cameras in our light fittings and that I was communicating with the FBI through 2 way mirrors. He would wake me up and ask me who the 7 men were who were with me in the bed. It was NUTS! But never once during his drug psychosis did he ever hurt me or even threaten to hurt me. Drugs didn't turn him into a wife-beater
@@Justice4Mica this will happen after a few years of abuse and using extreme amounts. It really sounds more like crystal meth. I’m other words, years of abuse causes psychosis. I doubt he was using that much cocaine tho. You can’t do the jobs he was doing with that level of drug addiction.
I agree n have been the one seeing ppl, lol. She would've got farther running with "he was an abusive alcoholic" than bringing all the drugs up. As someone who has seen & done it all, grew up surrounded by drug use and with 9 yrs of sobriety I have to say it's very rare someone does drugs and gets abusive. Not that it doesn't happen. Every drug affects everyone different. It would've personally been more believable for me had she claimed he was this way while detoxing. Now that's a lil more believable. I could see someone in detox getting a bit aggressive, say if someone was holding meds over their head...(hint hint). Alcohol, she would be 1000x more believable!
For such a short relationship, this is the longest, most drawn out relationship ever. From this testimony, I think her frustrations about her career are because she didn't get roles because she isn't at all a good actress, and like the doctor stated, she blames everything on another. The fact her only large role gotten has been Aquaman, which Depp set up, shows that, both he helped her career and the only major role she's ever gotten was as a favor for him, not on her talent or merit.
He had a HUGE influence on her career & she's PISSED now that she's going to have to go back to pulling herself up by her own bootstraps. This is likely why she was sleeping with Elon.
Amber wanted to be a "humanitarian" after meeting angelina jolie, friend of johnny. She copies others personalities.. she just needed a case to fight for. And choose feminism.....
My sister broke my nose when I was 7. I remember vividly how much it hurt, how much it bled, and exactly how it happened. For reference, I am 36 and will be 37 the end of this year. 30 years later I can recall the pain. And the bruising lasted for over a month. I wasn't hit with a grown man's skull. I was hit with hard plastic, swung hard and into my face by my sister. (It was a hula hoop from the 90's and they were heavy hard plastic) So yeah, I don't believe she doesn't remember the pain.
People are not thinking about the carpet or how dirty the carpet is when they are brutally beaten or sexually assaulted. I find her testimony totally false. She may take a small grain of something that happened and embellish it and make up total lies.
correct. you remember the sensations and fear and I sure as hell can describe it better than "I was so scared I was scared for my life". When youve been through triggering moments and feel like its life or death (even if its not)...I can describe how adrenaline feels, but its WORDS I struggle to remember. she remembers quotes perfectly apparently
Right? You’d think that Jerry would tell the other security guards about the things he saw also. It’s very fishy that these things could happen and none of the other security guards were aware
She has secret audio recordings of him moaning when he was "drunk", but no recordings of him threatening to kill her, screaming at her, calling her vile names?.......I have questions
The level of abuse she alleges simply isn't reflected in the evidence she provides. Heard took pictures of minor injuries, like when she had a cut on her lip she alleges Depp did. However, she has no pictures or medical reports of the horrific abuse she alleges. Heard described in court how Depp broke her nose, pinned her down on glass leaving her arms, feet and back 'all cut up' and the horrific bottle incident. After these extreme acts of violence, that person would almost certainly require medical help.
It's interesting she mentioned that she invited her therapist to the engagement party (that she described around the 1 hour mark). I feel like she said that to give her therapist more credibility, but it also conveys lack of client-practitioner boundaries on her part (common with BPD) and would be incredibly unethical if her therapist actually accepted the invitation (therapists will sometimes go to events like funerals if it is supportive to the client and the therapeutic relationship, but a party like AH was describing would be inappropriate).
@@maquelhoutz5966 now how crazy is that. A husband being kind to his wife…and that one that ambers team had to go on and on about. I hope dr curry’s husband knows how much in live chat those muffins played a big role n this case. And how stupid of them to make a big deal. There’s no guilty or not guilty in this case….but Johnny and just career will sky rocket. Thanks….
The facial expressions alone are comical it’s like she wants to look like she is crying but just can’t. She reminds me of a contrived child caught red handed and trying to shift blame
I swear, she sounds exactly like my teenage daughter trying to twist the truth to her benefit. Only difference is, is when my daughter tries to save her ass, her facial expression is more convincing.
@@kelleylong5916 LOL. I don´t doubt that one bit. Both my girls are dramatic, too. I find it fascinating to watch their storytelling skills (A.K.A their lies ) unfold. The teenager is far better at her craft. The 11 yr old is still figuring out her strategies.
She always talked about trying to predict his reactions and behaviors. She was learning his programming. Another thing abusers do. Abusers are good at calculating your next moves and showing their victims to be victimizing them.
To be fair, this is also learned if growing up on an abusive household where one or both parents have mood swings. You learn how to be hyper observant to hopefully learn when a bad time is coming.
@@lynned5734 Yes, you would. But that wasn't her testimony. She very clearly stated in that same sentence you are referencing that the having to watch & try to predict what was coming (i.e the hyperawareness you're speaking of due to constant mood swings) was something that she had never experienced b4 & was something very new to her. So, I get what you're saying but that doesn't apply to AH in this case. Or it very well might but she's obviously lying about it in terms of JD. That's just a part of her whole narrative (or scene as she called it) that she scripted for this.
@@lynned5734 yes, you do I am not a SA or DA survivor but I went thru enough to feel situations before they happen and I am sure somethings might have happend becouse of the drugs and the alcohol, fals friends. I even can relate on standing up and confromt him but if you got hit your rather in shock or you are angry! She shows anger an triggerd him just more by calling him out! She self told so!
So every single person who has testified are all LIARS?? She is the only person telling the truth? I'm sorry but there's no way everyone present would simply just allow anyone, famous or not, to beat up on another person especially a woman! I sure hope this jury sees through all this bs! Amber is absolutely making it extremely difficult for real victims to get the justice! Amber is making a mockery out of all real abuse victims!!
The only witnesses thus far that have testified are employees of JD. Each have their livelihoods dependent on working for JD. Of the instances she’s testified to, one of his security guards is deceased. Her attorney is corroborating his apology texts with her instances of abuse.
@@dmaria8684 not really, some where not employed by Johnny but from the company. The vaping guy was from ambers apartment right? Kate was her personal assistant and the cops are cops
@@dmaria8684 That's not correct. His initial witness was Amber's ex assistant. Some witnesses were employed by outside organisations, not J. Also, even if they were all of J's employees, why would they all lie put themselves at risk of perjury. That's not realistic given the amount of witnesses involved.
@@denizypinarci the vape guy changed his testimony. He said he didn’t see any bruises or cuts in deposition. Then he said he didn’t see anything but wouldn’t know if she had makeup on or not. Fair enough. He basically said he didn’t want to say no he didn’t see anything if she was hit and he didn’t want to get involved. I don’t think he was sure and really doesn’t remember and didn’t want testify either way. This was Depp’s witness.
As a psychologist her description of the detox events make no sense whatsoever (among the other 95% of her testimony). How can somebody be catatonic while simultaneously going through “manic” mood swings? Being an addiction specialist I can say I have never seen or heard of this in a clinical setting. People going through detox are quite miserable but for the most part are physically ill and have little to no energy until they are fully detoxed (due to the metabolic and neurochemical changes occurring). Obviously without seeing which medications he was prescribed during his detox phase it’s impossible to know exactly how they would interact with other medications, however, did they not consult with any medical professionals before fabricating this testimony… The medical aspect aside I have found it quite satirical that she is both acting and speaking in a manner consistent with histrionic personality disorder as Dr. Curry properly diagnosed her with… For somebody with PTSD, she is exhibiting none of the signs we would typically associate to that disorder. Her consistent eye contact with the jury can be construed as self validation and acknowledgment, of which, is classically exhibited in pervasive social behavior such as histrionic personality disorder… this hurts me for all of the actual DV/SA victims out there that have dealt with real things, y’all be strong and hope good things come from this❤️.
I’ve not gotten to that part of the testimony but agitated catatonia is a thing. More likely would be a hyperactive delirium from withdrawal (not that she’s understand the nuance). But what I found most interesting was the fact she invited her therapist to their engagement party. I mean maybe Hollywood works differently but that shows a significant lack of understanding of boundaries
@@myficact1269 Great point! I am almost through the most bazaar testimony I have ever heard, coming from AH. Her cadence does not change when she is recanting instances of abuse even while "crying" (which personally I have never witnessed) and almost instantly recovers. I am trying to maintain objectivity but there were so many obvious lies and contradictions to what she has already said. I just feel horrible for all SA/DV victims and hope that something positive comes from this circus.
@@ladasiahjackson4206 I can only hope something good comes of this. Regardless, of this troubled individuals testimony, hopefully, it will draw more attention to DV and SA so we can all build a better network for help with individuals that actually need it. Thank you for sharing!
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿As someone whose been through the same identical withdrawal (from the same opioids) and helped numerous other people whose gone through detox; just like her entire testimony, her description of his detox is pure fiction! Sleep, no matter how much medicine is given, is out of the question and with many people, lack of sleep is a main reason why so many people ultimately fail to stay sober after first several days of detoxing... Even with medication specifically given to help with sleep, it takes dayzzz to even get an hour, or two (at most) of sleep.
Awhile back I was in the courthouse in Newark, NJ . I passed the family court . I was absolutely horrified at the state a few women were in. They were waiting for the judge . Punched in eye sockets, broken noses , bruises, hair missing, teeth missing Amber has tied up police officers, lawyers and courts preventing real victims that needed to be protected.
I just find it so odd she’s had time to take all these photos. Feels as if she had intended to build a case against him for a long time. All of these photos I’m just like…..and? He’s asleep or even passed out?….so???
Her explanation for the photos of him passed out were to show him he needed to get sober because she said he denied being that bad so she was trying to show him how bad it was
Yes she did! I believe she intended to bleed him financially with them... but it came to this instead. Imagine how much money she could have got if he really DID beat her? She would most definitely have pictures of those if he had beaten. She's camera happy!
@@signingupfornothing yeah, that's what she said. But like everything else, I don't believe it. She recorded things to humiliate him which is why she "leaked" it & said it was her lawyers. She instigated these awful things & then recorded it. Recording someone you love going thru detox when they are at their worst? Especially bc there's no point. If you want him to get clean & see how bad it is, & THEN he goes to detox & get clean which is what she claims to have wanted. So, what point to try & humiliate him while he's getting clean. That's counterintuitive. That would be more likely to set him off to use again.
Wow Amber definitely studied her part for this day in court, just look at the librarian/ teacher outfit, her mannerisms, constant pauses to think of her lies and staring at the jury so intently. And her Lawyer constantly leading the conversation and trying to jog her memory sounds like they rehearsed together. It's very obvious Amber used Johnny to propel her status. Anyone with an ounce of logic can tell she's lying especially after hearing past recordings of the way she normally talks.
Johnny when he described being hit, he told the sensation and feeling. She on the other hand describes the surroundings and objects. It doesn’t feel like first hand experience more like someone witnessing it.
Yes! Her verbiage is so disconnected, distant, and repetitive. She was in love with the things Johnny and his fame afforded her. And it gets on my nerves how she called him a thing. No, boo-boo! YOU are the thing! Scamber needs to have several seats.
Yes! Like when she describes the alleged bottle in the v incident. She kept saying! “I felt this pressure.” Not pain, no description of how the pain of a broken bottle felt.
Part of PTSD is the triggers. Those are usually smells, sounds, tones of voices, things that effect the senses and subconsciously transport the person back. So if she said , every time a hear ice clink in the glass a certain way, or smell we'd or jet fuel - I get anxious. That's believable PTSD. Which can happen even without physical abuse. If the person feels the arguments or relationship were traumatic enough.
@@theConquerersMama but those are triggers though, triggers that remind you what you went through. If she said I can’t see a carpet without it reminding me of when he slapped me around and how I fell on it then it would’ve been believable but to say I saw a dirty carpet and was focus on that instead of telling what she felt and the fear it’s like she is speaking as the someone witnessing it.
20:00 & 2:45:12 Yes - JD gave AH career advice. He was put in a box of being the “hot, teen heartthrob” early on in his career. IMO JD was giving advice on how to be successful- by taking a variety of roles - instead of always being cast as “the hot girl” with kissing and sex scenes. He wasn’t being controlling he was helping her succeed by learning from his mistakes. Also, when AH went on the red carpet in a very low cut gold dress with out leaving much to the imagination and including bright red lipstick JD said “yah, I see ya, kid. That’s how they’ll always see ya” (or something to that effect). If AH wanted to be viewed as more than just “the hot girl” she had to dress and act the part - that’s why JD was helping her with her wardrobe // reviewing scripts, etc. and she knows it.
Well said. Same with him saying don't go out to a concert with co stars. Because he's been there and knows that the paparazzi will make more of it than it is or keep those photos to cause trouble later.
It must have been so hard for Johnny to listen to this witch talk about his kids as if she was genuinely EVER concerned for their well-being. Him being able to hold his composure speaks volumes.
"Cry" but no tears. Let her talk - more blabber = more open to cross. Former law enforcement here. My sister is former DA now a criminal judge. We're having a BLAST with this trial. Your comments are right on (we're a little more savage than you are). We are BEGGING for evidence, ANY kind of evidence at all.
*he was twice my age* was mentioned multiple times in her testimony but all of her partners have been much older than her. That's how she picks em! Girl please, don't act like he "preyed" on you or something because you were so young.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Everyone you date is *older* than you!!!
Also, regarding the broken nose, if she testified that she had a broken nose, there would be x-ray for that if she had her nose "fixed" since here it doesn't look like her nose is or was broken. If it was not fixed or returned to place, it would either leave a mark, or her nose would be tilted. I got my nose broken from a basketball game many years ago hitting the head of another player as I was about to steal the ball and he swung his head at the direction of my face, and you can still see that it's still slightly tilted after all these years. Sometimes you can feel something is weird in the area between the length of the nose. Not sure if it's the same for everyone, but me and a couple of people I knew were like this. Though there's were not tilted. If she uses a "broken" nose excuse, she's digging her own grave. Because 1, realigning a broken nose would require surgery because the damage may be more complicated than you think, and there would be paperwork or x-ray for that. No one would advise you to fix your broken nose on your own as you may complicate it even further. You can see she prolly realized this by saying "I'm assuming I had a broken nose". She's only making things worse for her
When my nose was broken, it bled profusely...like a faucet!!! My eyes swelled up and were black! There was NO doubt in my mind, or the perpetrator's, that I had a broken nose. She's a LIAR!
I am just really confused when she says “it didn’t feel like him” but if he is abusing her all the time it should feel like him this is the norm….. this is one of the many reasons why I can’t believe this woman
well you know at the beginning they look absolutely normal. Both my abusive exes had some some sob story on very hard beginnings in life with shitty fathers that where also abusive that they used to reel me in and play into my maternal instincts and protective tendencies. And they'd use those same traits to keep me from ever leaving, either by accusing me of being a 🐝 or trying to get my sympathy and show that they need me to show them love and affection and that they are getting what they never had and that I'm the most special person. When they started shifting to who they truly are it felt unreal until it was becoming the norm. My first abusive partner was way way worse in his treatment of me, but my second managed to brake me without even laying a finger on me or staying for long. He took what he needed and then after lifting me up dropped me from up high. And they where both coercing intimacy out of me.. I can't put my finger on it but all the clips of hers describing the alleged abuse feel faked and feel to be things I can't relate with. Whereas when Johnny speaks something makes my protective momma bear side kick in and I can almost feel what he feels.
@@sonia94ist I am sorry you had to go through that and I hear you…I totally agree! I just don’t understand at all her recollection of the events the way she describes how she felt in those moments it is very odd not to mention her over exaggerated emotions. One thing is for sure she does need help like really psychological help because maybe she believes it happened who knows
@@sharib6422 yeah thats what I see too. That's why Johnny's side is more believable. He's not putting on a show. Her tears look fake too, like there aren't any. Johnny has the same look all throughout on and off the stand. She looks smug and holier that than off the stand and fake cries on the stand.
what creeped me out the most is her testimony about the children. her amount of stuttering just seemed so fake as if she was buying time to think of a plausible way to describe them in a good light without feeling it internally. even "weirdos" was a strange way to depict a child - i was a teacher for years and would never have to go through that amount of correction of my words/thought process to give someone else a coherent description about my students. that disjointed speech pattern really rubbed me the wrong way.
Yeah, it is definitely odd and not a great choice of words. Also, whenever she is talking about the kids it is always extremely shallow; I get no one is trying to get the kids involved in this but it just feels very artificial.
