It's not typically how these things go, but Amber Heard was abusing Johnny Depp and holding him hostage. There are lengthy audio recordings where she admits to hitting him, threatening that the public will never believe his story.

She dragged his name through the mud in the court of public opinion, and it turned out she was actually an abuser. It ruined his reputation and cost him a lot of money.

Jonny Depp lost work throughout the publicized drama, while Heard continued to get bigger roles. Now that the audio is public, Heard has been let go from her contracts on Aquaman and other films.

There's an ongoing lawsuit, and it's probably best to withhold judgment as to Depp's guilt until it's concluded. The only evidence we have is of Amber's behavior. We have no evidence Depp did anything wrong.

Needless to say, the whole situation is a mess.

I thought it was well established that he was being abused, not the other way around?

I mean that's not what came out in court at all.

The case is still on trial.
