Amber Heard received death threats and was 'blacklisted' after accusing Johnny Depp of abuse | Actress who went public with a false accusation is shocked to discover her lies have negative consequences - for her, not for Depp.

Something I always found interesting about this case: Heard was arrested - not accused, arrested - for domestic violence in 2009, against her then partner Tasya van Ree - a woman, so it can't be brushed off in the way a woman attacking a male partner would.

Now, let me be clear: I'm not saying that being arrested for DV means that she can't be a victim of it herself, or that Depp is innocent without a shadow of a doubt. But in this era of public and professional figures losing careers or suffering damage to their image over, say, stupid jokes they may have said or posted online years ago, or unproven/outright fale accusations of various things, etc. etc. where were the petitions and #campaigns to have Heard stripped of her role in the DC movies? Like when Depp was cast in that Harry Potter film? Not a peep.

Didn’t Disney have the knee jerk reaction of taking him off the Pirates franchise before any sort of investigation was done?

This article doesn't indicate whether these allegations are false or not, just that she made them.

It's in very poor taste that for appearance purposes she released the joint statement that the marriage was loving and passionate then comes out that he's abusive. Something there is a lie and she hasn't substantiated the claims of abuse (at least I didn't see any evidence in the article). Claiming that it's the patriarchy that's blocking you after making such a stupid statement is, in itself, just as stupid. For all I know they divorced because he couldn't be with someone that couldn't tell the difference between a Zimbabwe dollar and an American dollar. The point being that she says one thing and then slander him with no proof. Who the fuck wants to pay to hire her for the drama. You can hire another actress that doesn't come with that kind of baggage and stupidity. It's not that they're protecting men it's that they're protecting their money. You don't want her getting the lead male in a movie arrested mid-shoot.

Regarding the threats they go both ways. I'm sure he's getting them too from her fans but she just assumes it's the patriarchy and only women get death threats.

The other thing that bugs me is she's awarded $7M as a 32 year old professional when he's closer to the standard retirement age at 55 years old. Then she goes and donates part of that 7M she took.

I just wish I could see his face when he saw that announcement. "That bitch and her lawyer took me for 7M and argued she needed it to survive then gives the money away".

You can't make this stuff up.

Edit: I think this article tells the time line and story a bit better https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/aug/16/amber-heard-assault-allegations-johnny-depp-divorce

The question remains basically whether she and her friend lied to get more money or if her claims are true. We've seen videos of women on this sub hitting themselves with hammers so they can go to the cops. Of course the home is a private place where witnesses of abuse happening live is nearly impossible. Either way it seems he resolved it by paying her off whether it was true or not. Anecdotally my aunt is a gold digger who married for money. He paid her off and she still came back to try and get more. The divorce was also 100% her own fault which I hate to say about my own family.

Blacklisted ? She plays a main character in Aquaman

tenchineuro · 2018-12-19T14:04:55+00:00

Explaining that she rarely left her apartment for fear of being hounded, she added: 'I felt as though I was on trial in the court of public opinion - and my life and livelihood depended on myriad judgments far beyond my control.'

Welcome to the world #metoo created.

I suspect that she's exaggerating the career effects though, apparently it's OK for female actresses to sexually assault or assault their husbands/BFs.

2018-12-19T16:39:20+00:00

So all of JD friends won't work with her? Jeez, I wonder why?

nicheblanche · 2018-12-19T17:31:18+00:00

From the article: "'I felt as though I was on trial in the court of public opinion - and my life and livelihood depended on myriad judgments far beyond my control."

Well you know what? That's exactly how falsely accused men feel and that's exactly what she was trying to do to Johnny. She's just pissed the outcome was against her and is too stupid to understand that she won't win against a guy like that without lots of evidence.

PlatosMisanthrope · 2018-12-19T19:36:54+00:00

She went from Depp to Musk, and botched that up too. I think she's a liar, and I know she's waaaay too much trouble.

fogoticus · 2018-12-19T14:05:15+00:00

?????

So... does this Amber Heard think that the man should get fucked no matter what she does? AKA, if she lies & it's discovered, the guy should get the hammer and she should be able to get out scat free? Wtf?

jeff_the_nurse · 2018-12-19T15:43:53+00:00

Well, she shouldn’t have received death threats...

chambertlo · 2018-12-19T14:35:28+00:00

No one deserves to be be believed. No proof, no evidence, no dice.

4VaHoPGpfUXD7 · 2018-12-19T13:50:24+00:00

That's not what this article say.

NecroHexr · 2018-12-19T14:13:26+00:00

uh, no. hasn't been proven false yet.

tomothy37 · 2018-12-19T13:20:32+00:00

I've only read about this very lightly, is there proof that her allegations are indeed false? I know about their joint statement of the relationship being "passionate and at times volatile, but always driven by love", but aside from him denying that he's ever abused her, that's all I can find.

Was it ever confirmed whether or not Depp abused her at all, verbally or physically?

Edit: I am not saying that I think it's up to Depp to prove to anyone that he did not abuse Heard. OP claims that Heard's allegations are false. I am asking if there is hard evidence anywhere that her allegations are, in fact, false, or if is there is any proof that her allegations are, without question, true.

/u/j3utton is correct: If there is no evidence proving that the allegations are either undoubtedly true or undoubtedly false, one cannot make the claim that "Heard has falsely accused Depp of abusing her" , nor can they claim that "Depp has abused Heard".

I was simply asking if there had been evidence found to back up OP's claim that the allegations are false.

2018-12-19T17:57:56+00:00

Glad her and Elon Musk are over now, Amber Heard isn't a healthy influence

mr2jay · 2018-12-19T18:41:20+00:00

How do you think it's effecting him?

Probably like Harvey who was getting verbally abused and physically confronted when he went out in public.

If you make the claims be prepared for them as it will effect both lives greatly imo

tb21666 · 2018-12-19T21:52:34+00:00

her lies have negative consequences

Rightfully so.

EricAllonde · 2018-12-19T22:19:38+00:00

I don’t know...she didn’t take any money personally, and depp is an alcoholic...

thrazefister · 2018-12-20T00:55:58+00:00

She forgot one very important thing mate

heyhelloy · 2018-12-19T18:03:25+00:00

She getting death threats might be a bit much..

VisaSpettacolare · 2018-12-19T21:50:54+00:00

Nothing in this article points to her being a liar.

Syc254 · 2018-12-19T16:55:49+00:00

Captain Jack all day. No one should be surprised.

omegaphallic · 2018-12-19T17:54:27+00:00

She built her career on being hot and she is getting older, it's not like she is known for being a brilliant actress, so she is likely confusing being traded in for younger, hopefully more talented actresses for retaliatiation.

jerkass · 2018-12-19T14:58:38+00:00

Amber Heard was physically and verbally abusive to me. Why is she still acting?

2018-12-20T02:55:33+00:00

It's such a bummer that someone like her gets involved in a franchise and gets a big character like Mera, specially with a director who's doing things good for the DCEU and gets the characters so right. Now she's getting all the spotlight, praise and shit.

The worst part has been seeing all the men fanboys acting like none of this false accusation happened, just because she's hot and dressed up in a tight onesie showing boobs.

Kodiak01 · 2018-12-20T03:47:12+00:00

Yeah, so "blacklisted" she appeared in Justice League, Aquaman, London Fields and Gully in the past two years alone...

ILOVEASIANCUNTS · 2018-12-20T04:53:39+00:00

She hit the wall hard.

girlnamedmartin · 2018-12-20T05:46:53+00:00

My question is if all she was after was money wouldn’t she have been better off to simply divorce him... she’d get the same amount right?

2018-12-20T12:29:01+00:00

I haven't been following this much. Were the accusations determined to be false?

gdan95 · 2018-12-24T04:09:03+00:00

Where in the article does it prove the allegations were false?

Mythandros · 2018-12-25T01:05:19+00:00

If these allegations are false, she deserves whatever social justice she gets. I would have absolutely no empathy for her.

And even if they are true (I doubt it), airing your dirty laundry on social media is inappropriate at BEST.

2018-12-26T04:18:18+00:00

Not Mera 😭 I developed a huge crush in on her after aquaman 😂

monoveloso · 2019-03-13T05:51:43+00:00

wait...actions have consequences!?

monoveloso · 2019-03-13T05:52:44+00:00

I don't even like Depp but I so feel for him right now

PangKun · 2018-12-19T14:36:41+00:00

Revealing that it not only impacted her personal life but her professional one, too she claimed she was 'blacklisted' by Hollywood, revealing: 'I had the rare vantage point of seeing, in real time, how institutions protect men accused of abuse.'

But guys, it is shameful the way these baseless accusations that she made impacted her life in so many negative ways, institutions should protect women who make false accusations.

Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender.

Guys, she should be considered innocent of making false claims of abuse just to draw blood in a failed relationship until she has been proven guilty, until her accusations have been PROVEN false.

*adding: i think i may have have accidentally Poed in the above, i was attempting to be sarcastic

2018-12-19T16:37:42+00:00

She's just a stupid cunt.

_Hogarth_Hughes_ · 2018-12-19T16:43:21+00:00

Good time to remind everyone that left wingers enabled this culture.

Stay-flexing · 2018-12-19T19:23:47+00:00

Yet no one here is bringing up the video she took of him drunk as fuck breaking shit and yelling at her. Depp is a fucking drunk.
