What I find shocking is how everybody defends Johnny Depp and blames the victim.


Why is domestic abuse excusable when it is executed by Johnny Depp?


He can abuse his wife because he is pretty?


The general response in the media of victim blaming really surprises me. And shows how the reality is for women. If you get abused as a woman and finally have the courage to stand up against your abuser, you get blamed and shamed and targeted.


This really baffles me.

Thank you...

Here is the latest. At the moment his daughter and Vanessa are defending Johnny http://linkis.com/www.dai...o.uk/3BDmb I feel for them too this hurts everyone

If I was Amber's mother I would have advised her to not get involved with a man who is more than 5 yrs older than her. She would have more in common with a 30-35 year old. Maybe she was looking for a father figure? A man in his 50's gets involved with a 30 year old because of her looks not her personality or intellect!

Based on this website I'm not saying anything.

Now u got people claiming to be "friends" of the couple with the inside scoop with headlines like

dJJ said: Again, how do you know that she's in fact a victim? An accusation doesn't automatically mean that a person is a victim. There's been many cases of fabricated abuse. It's unfortunate as it makes those who have been in truly abusive situations lives more difficult, but fabricated abuse stories do exist and people have done this. I think the correlation between Mr. Depp's situation and Mr. Cosby's is an unfair comparison and two completely different situations entirely. Although he seems guilty enough, it has to be pointed out that Mr. Cosby has not been convicted of anything...yet. Johnny Depp isn't accused of drugging other women and sexually taking advantage of them, he is only being accused of domestic abuse.

Not true accusations happen rarely. It gets a lot of attention in the news, that is why people think it is common. Surely, there needs to be more clarity, but I don't think she hit herself in order to make that photo.

so, changes that she made it up, are less likely that she is telling the truth. She has proof in the picture.

Depp has a history of physical outbursts.

So, why do so many here jump to the conclusion she is the fraudulent person in this case?

I'm responding to the general opinion of blaming her. So, that you are acusing me of an preliminary opinion is not a very good argument.

Depp has a historry of physical outburts but not towards women. You are the one jumping to conclusions

I'm not a big fan of Johnny's, but I certainly don't dislike the guy, but I think he's a idiot for marrying her in the first place. I'm sure it was mostly ego driven. Having said that, I don't blame her for laughing. I'd be laughing too if I was expecting millions from a 15 month marriage. It will be interesting when the truth comes out.

Yep, according to People Amber Heard Slams Comedian Accusing Her of Blackmailing Johnny Depp

http://www.people.com/article/amber-heard-johnny-depp-blackmail-allegations?xid=socialflow_twitter_peoplemag

I wonder if she is gonna comment of the support Johnny has received from Vanessa and Lily Rose?

Even Terry Gilliam has joined in (I didn't know he was on twitter)

Some of these people I have never heard of. I don't know if it has something to do being a holiday in the US, but it's rather interesting how their hasn't been a large response from major celebs over this story compared to Keisha.....are they playing the wait and see game?

i just never trusted her. she put her little doggies at risk in australia. wherever she goes she ALWAYS looks like she is posing for the camera. IMO that kind of perpetual self-awareness, that kind of calculated'poise' imo seems to be the hallmark of a manipulator. because i worked in legal, i know that women can and do make false assault allegations in the context of a divorce. despite my inclination to rail against domestic abuse, in THIS case, i do not believe heard's allegations. vanessa paradis and depp's children know him best. his friend knows him best http://www.thewrap.com/jo...st-column/

I think this interesting E! online article is trying to explain both sides of the story so far http://www.eonline.com/ne...it-matters

Also there is an article about her finances, which really surprised me (especially how much she got from Magic Mike 2) being that she is a high profile actress who gets alot of mag covers, and who will be in the next Justice League film. http://radaronline.com/ce...es-income/ and this one from People http://www.people.com/art...d-revealed

Have audiences gone off Johnny Depp? Alice Through The Looking Glass bombs at box office

Alice Through The Looking Glass

• Rebecca Hawkes

30 MAY 2016 • 11:07AM

Johnny Depp’s latest film, the Disney sequel Alice Through The Looking Glass, has had a disappointing opening weekend at the US box office.

According to figures released today (via Sky News), the film, which opened in cinemas on Friday, made a total of $28.1 million across the weekend in the US.

Ahead of the release, projected takings for the $170 million sequel, a follow-up to Tim Burton’s 2010 Alice in Wonderland, had been significantly higher: the film was expected to make at least $60 million.

.

Fifty-two-year-old Depp is currently being divorced by his wife of just over a year, Amber Heard, who last week made allegations that the Pirates of the Caribbean star had been physically and verbally abusive towards her throughout their marriage. On Friday, Heard was granted a restraining order against her husband.

.

Depp has not commented on the claims, but it has been suggested that the negative attention may have helped turn audiences away from the fantasy sequel, which was being billed as a family-friendly adventure, and in which he stars as the Mad Hatter.

.

"These allegations, if true, pose a serious threat to the box-office longevity of Johnny Depp," box office analyst Jeff Bock told The Hollywood Reporter yesterday. "Obviously time heals all wounds, but this is certainly having a toll on Depp and Alice. Alice in Blunderland is more like it."

Fans and supporters of Amber Heard have also called for a boycott of the movie.

That said, it’s also worth noting that the Lewis Carrol-inspired movie, directed by James Bobin and starring Mia Wasikowska as a grown-up Alice, has received a predominantly negative reaction from critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, for instance, it has a rating of just 30%.

.

Burton’s 2010 film, which made $116 million on its opening weekend, has a rating of 52%.

Thanks, I watched the film on Friday, it wasn't bad I prefer the first one (that had the added 3D which also helped at the box office) and I also think another reason it didin't do well is because I think people are getting tired of the fairy tale reboots. I saw the trailer for Beauty and the Beast and I'm like why did it need to be remade when the animated one was so perfect?

well, IMO, yet another remake of alice in wonderland is not going to help ANYone's career....

apparently, at the time heard called in the alleged assault, responding officers found "no trace" of any injury on her face.

.

i really do not know which of them to believe. ms. heard keeps prducing fairly convincing evidence that depp has done some things....

I wonder how many of the people commenting (general public, not just here) on the appropriate behavior of domestic abuse victims to validate their claims of abuse have ever been abused by a domestic partner. And of those who have, I wonder why they might assume there is one single appropriate way to respond to it. I am Johnny Depp indifferent, maybe seen one of his movies ever, and I had never heard of Amber Heard before now. I have no idea what happened, but nothing that has been presented here is out of the realm of normal behavior for victims of violence.

speaking for myself and also projecting on domestic abuse statistics: i think it would be a mistake to assume that those of us posting have zero experience with this issue. i think it is safe to assume that at least some of us have been there, one way or another

I didn't assume anything one way or the other hence "I wonder." I still wholly reject one size fits all application of standards of behavior for victims.

oh, okay. yeah. i wouldn't say one size fits anything when it comes to cases like this one
