- she pledged the money to the ACLU and donated a portion; that was put on hold when depp launched two lawsuits that were going to be quite expensive for her. this is common with donation pledges when something happens like a pair of expensive slapp lawsuits

She had the full divorce settlement for something like 1-1.5 years before Depp filed his lawsuit and she didn't fulfil it. Despite saying publicly she already donated the money.

Heard recorded the video and sent to TMZ and tipped them off about her appearances. TMZ reporter testified that they got the copyright to the video (which only could have come from heard) for the video so she lied on the stand in front of the jury. Credibility matters.

- you're looking at pictures of bruises from assault and saying they're fake with no evidence other than your desire to disbelieve them
Amber testified under oath that those were 2 different pictures, one taken with the lights on and one with the lights off. But the time stamps are identical and every strand of hair is exactly the same. I would love to hear your explaination for that.

She pledged that in 2016. Plenty of time before he sued her, so I don't buy that reason. She knew it looked good and figured there would be no follow-up to it and was going to keep the money. She was wrong.

it's really telling that you're just making up testimony like "Also when I said he hit me I meant he drop kicked me, took 5 steps back, then slammed me as I got back to my feet with a running, spinning lariat that gave me 3 black eyes and a bloody lip." that isn't what she alleged and it wasn't what her sister alleged. if you just make up what she said in your head, you can blame her for an infinite number of imaginary lies. i keep saying, people will believe anything as long as it lets them doubt the account of a victim of a man they're already predisposed to like. people just love the lying crazy bitch narrative.

I apologize, I don't have the time to look up a transcript of the actual testimony and replace "spinning lariat that gave me 3 black eyes etc" with the specifics she stated about how he allegedly thrashed her repeatedly into a bloody, swollen mess less than 24 hours before she appeared on x talk show or y event.

donating over time is normal. she was donating in installments, then stopped when the lawsuit happened. this is what she testified to, even.

heard recorded the video. a representative of tmz (which is raking it in on HEARD OWNED BY DEPP! articles btw) testified she gave it to them. it is she-said she-said.

they're very similar because they were taken one after the other. what is confusing about this

are you saying she was lying about depp destroying her things and spilling wine everywhere? because even he admitted he did that, and there are many witnesses to him doing it. two disorganized pictures doesn't turn a fact depp doesn't even dispute into a lie.

an abuse victim felt like things were worse than they were. that's not lying, that's just a normal minor inconsistency.

idk why depp chose to abuse heard and not those other women. i'm not a telepath. that's not even an inconsistency; abusers are nice to people they aren't abusing all the time.

"Incorrect," Replied Heard, "I pledged the entirety⁠—"

"No, Ms. Heard. That's not my question," Vasquez cut Heard off. She went on to clarify that she meant donate, and not pledged.

"I use pledge and donation synonymous with one another. They mean the same thing," Heard said. From the point the back and forth heated up but both women remained restrained in their firm stance.

"That's how donations are paid," Heard told Vasquez and the jury.

You can find videos on youtube that proof that it's literally the same picture with color adjustments. No matter how many selfies you take, you will not be able to recreate the same picture down to every single pixel - even when we disregard the fact that she must have changed either a setting or the lighting of the room to make them LOOK different.

I watched over 60 hours of the trial and she was lying/exaggerating like crazy.

She wasn't consistent, her accounts of abuse were outlandish and did not line up with any photographs she provided and while I bet Depp was not a good partner, everyone that came to speak on his behalf said that he would never do what she accused him of.

Like, she claimed he bashed her face in so much that "I lost count" and that he smashed her back and broke the bed. Yet she was in a backless dress the next day and didn't have a scrap of damage on her. You can use makeup to hide bruises but not the swelling that would come from that.

Again, I've been involved with people with BPD and it lines up with my experiences. Hell, I had someone claim that I beat them just because I raised my voice in an argument.

I know double negatives are confusing, but she's saying right there "I had donated the entire settlement to charity at that point". She could easily have said, from the beginning, "I pledged to, was in the process of donating in installments and had paid $x, and was then sued so had to put a pause on it" and that would be quite reasonable to most people.

Edit: also, on some tv interview, bolding mine:
In 2018, Heard appeared on Dutch talk show RTL Late Night and said: ‘$7million in total was donated – I split it between the ACLU and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. I wanted nothing.’

Yep, I saw the testimony once. I'm just not so dedicated to looking up specifics to post in an internet thread filled with mostly poo poo posts and trolls, when we've already been over most of the serious discussion related to the actual facts of the case once.

I also have personal history with a partner with BPD who was emotionally abusive many times and ALMOST physically abusive at least once, that gives me a bias where I am inclined to characterize Heard in a specific way based on my interpretation of the facts of the case, her own testimony, and the testimony from medical and phycological experts. Neverminded my own experiences with abuse, I'll simply relay some brief anecdotes concerning to sort of way a person with BPD thinks. There was one time where my ex had a cavity and was crying for hours, convinced that when she went to the dentist, they were going to have to extract each and every one of her teeth. There was another time where she was too busy to send in the form to renew the sticker on her plates and was worried that the FBI was going to swarm her apartment, throw her in jail, and impound her vehicle for being a week or two late. I'm familiar with the patterns of exaggerated thoughts, the little (and not so little) lies, and the narcissistic way of framing things.

I also have at least one friend who has a major drinking and substance abuse problem that has isolated him from the rest of our social group (dozens of people) over the course of a decade or so, because of problems with him being belligerent, unreliable, etc. He's never actually physically assaulted someone as far as I know, it's just disappointing and frustrating dealing with his bullshit.

All just anecdotal, but you have to accept the fact that many other people probably have similar experiences with these type of people that colors their opinions of how to perceive testimony and evidence, and not assume literally 9/10ths of the world is taking one person's side because of some memes, or smear campaigns/conspiracies propagated by one side in a case where both sides have probably had a roughly equal amount of misinformation and smearing said about each other on social media/traditional media by both related parties and unrelated parties.

So according to you:

-Johnny Depp is unreliable
-Johnny Depp’s lawyers, friends, and acquaintances, many of which testified under oath that Johnny Depp didn’t do anything, is unreliable.
-Everyone who was indirectly involved with the events in question and testified to their experiences are unreliable
-The evidence directly contradicting Amber Heard’s claims and testimony ate unreliable
-The judge and jury are unreliable
-The entire US legal system is unreliable
-Everyone on Twitter, Reddit, this thread that are drawing on their own experience or expertise are unreliable.

Abuse is terrible. Using it as an excuse to pretend that you can read the mind of someone who was only diagnosed with BPD by a psych who was hired specifically to assassinate her character in a trial is understandable, but still despicable. The doctor who was actually treating her did not diagnose her with any personality disorders. The doctor who was hired to say she was BPD and narcissistic was hired specifically to produce the result of people saying, "Oh, I know someone who was unstable, she must be an unstable liar," just like you're doing here. (Or, just, "haha she's a crazy lying bitch," which is also a fairly common post in this thread.)

I'm sorry, raising your voice doesn't leave bruises, and it doesn't hit your family members. This isn't a he-said, she-said case. BPD doesn't make people conspire over the course of years to falsify evidence and discuss fake abuse with their closest confidants while hiding it from the world while also recruiting her family, the conspiracy theory that Depp's narrative relies on. Nothing does that, it's the plot of loving Gone Girl, not reality.

Funny you say that, because the partner of mine in question did exactly that, several times. Firsthand, once to me concerning the partner that was there when I came along (to string me along and turn her closest 2 or so friends against the other person), and once to the person she ended up dating afterwards (to string them along and turn her closest friends against me), and i've heard she did it to others as well from other friends and acquaintances. Can't really say for certain it's BPD that caused that line of behavior, but a pattern is a pattern. People tend to believe patterns.
