In my opinion, this trial is very much a DARVO scenario. Heard is no angel, but she did not defame Depp. He’s using his wealth to continue to abuse her, which is obvious from how she is being attacked.

: Well, he lost the Sun case, even though the burden of proof was on the other side. And initiating a defamation case over the sentence “Then two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out.”
Exacerangutan
: Which is arguably true, whether or not she was telling the truth about the abuse. Given that, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that the defamation case is nothing more than an attempt to punish her, as he threatened to do. And it’s working.
he did lose that case... and from what I gather she's now being considered for perjury charges after lying emphatically and demonstrably about key statements
Exacerangutan
: From what I can find, there are two instances of perjury charges being considered - one relating to their violation of Australian biosecurity laws when they were still a couple, and the other to her statement that she had donated her divorce settlement money.
I’d be interested to read of any others. Clearly, neither has scruples about lying.
sorry running around an airport on too little sleep is not the optimal scenario for this conversation and we're gonna be taking off soon orz so I'll try and jump in again later when I'm able to
