I was with Kate, and I think he went straight for the romance jugular, shit like whether I beat her enough. I probably told him, ‘Yeah, she gets a severe beating’.

Johnny Depp to Hunter S. Thompson about Kate Moss (via anthroxlove)

Suddenly makes sense that JD refers to himself as a “Southern Gentleman” when he says the same thing about Thompson after the both of them shot a self-made bomb in the backyard, resulting in a “seventy-five-foot explosion, an enormous, huge burst of fire” which made Moss’ mother uncomfortable and considered Thompson “dangerous” and that they’d have to “escape as soon as possible”...

Well, this feels all too familiar. 

“Even if people try and say the Tudor period was a different time, no it wasn’t. It’s always trying to discredit the victim when actually we need to be defending the victim — that’s why we can’t dismiss the romanticization of Anne’s story. It filters down and has an effect.”

Amber Heard’s Story is My Story

Publisher's Note: The following piece comes via a long-time reader who first brought to our attention some of the details of this story two years ago, several months before the verdict was handed down in Depp v News Group Newspapers...

But like Amber, I am a human being. I am a person. I am real. Neither one of us deserve to be harassed or attacked for speaking out about our lived experiences. We don’t deserve to have the institutions that are supposed to protect us and keep us safe, used, instead, to destroy us. We deserve to have a voice and to be free to speak out. I stand with Amber Heard.

[borjn]

“Do you know what else I remember? I remember a friend of mine texting me one night in 2019 that she had just met Amber Heard. Amber was working with a charity my friend was involved with. The night my friend met Amber, she ended up telling her my story. After I got that text, I called her, and she gave Amber the phone to talk to me. Amber didn’t just talk to me. She stayed on the phone for the better part of an hour, stepping away from the group of people she was with so she could listen to my story and offer me support and advice. Amber Heard, a celebrity, who regularly had to change her phone number, gave it to me, a stranger, so she could continue offering support. I have never forgotten her kindness. [...]

Amber’s support was life-changing for me. I am not exaggerating when I say that it could have been the end of my life if I hadn’t had support like that. In a lifetime of repeated trauma and poverty, my court case was my lowest point. In many ways, it felt more traumatic than my actual abuse. When I was being questioned on the stand, later in 2019, before Amber ever took the stand in the UK or in Virginia, I thought about her and the support she was giving me. Knowing I had that support, just a text away from someone so influential, so supportive, changed the course of that proceeding. I felt taller. I felt stronger. While Amber wasn’t in the courtroom, I still felt like she was with me, helping me speak out. It might seem like a small thing, just texting, but to me it was everything.”

Has Johnny Depp Gaslit Us All?

In this domestic violence journalist's opinion, Johnny Depp knew exactly what he was doing when he gaslit us all.

Just as we’ve heard so much lately about the “perfect victim” stereotype and how Heard doesn’t fit that (her response to 18-plus months of possible abuse was anything but meek), so too is there a “perfect perpetrator” role our subconscious is holding on to. For many of us, Depp isn’t it. Chris Brown wasn’t it. Bill Cosby certainly wasn’t it. Celebrities we idolize can’t also be the men we fear because, if that were true, they’ve tricked us.

I wrote an article responding to all the most common anti-Heard arguments, showing the same arguments can be used against Depp.

I wrote an article responding to common Anti-Heard arguments, showing that the same arguments can actually be used against Depp and sometimes don't apply to Amber at all. Here are each of the arguments I respond to:

A. Amber Heard has admitted to initiating violence. B. Amber Heard has admitted to violence, even if she did not admit to initiating it. C. There are witnesses of Heard being violent. D. Amber Heard does not deny being violent when accused of it in recordings. E. Amber Heard has a history of domestic violence. F. Amber Heard shamed Depp for walking away from arguments, which is a form of abuse. G. Amber Heard’s story has been inconsistent. H. If Amber Heard was being physically abused, why didn’t she document it and/or take more pictures? I. Amber Heard’s photographs are edited. J. Why doesn’t Amber Heard have medical reports? K. Amber Heard had more power in the relationship. L. A victim of domestic violence wouldn’t disparage and taunt their abuser to their face if they were afraid of them. M. A victim of domestic abuse wouldn’t be constantly angry and destructive while their abuser is calm. N. A victim of domestic violence would not be smirking in court and not taking it seriously. O. A victim of domestic violence would not pull a defecation prank on their abuser. P. A victim of domestic violence would never give their abuser a knife.

I would appreciate any feedback, any things I missed, glaring mistakes, etc. Thank you!

who's afraid of amber heard?

abuse, aesthetics, and assigning deviance to difficult women

“The trick, though, is that every woman stops being “good” once they decide to resist abuse, and so no victim could ever be good enough to avoid scrutiny.”
