This whole Johnny Depp and Amber Heard divorce debacle just keeps getting more and more fucked up. First, I thought it was fucked that Amber would file for divorce from Johnny just a couple of days after his mom died. Then, I thought it was even more fucked when she filed domestic abuse charges against him and got a restraining order.
NOW, I think it’s super fucked that like a million and one people, INCLUDING the police report, are suggesting that Johnny never beat Amber and that she’s really just a lying, scheming bitch who belongs on an episode of Dynasty or some shit.
So when Amber Heard first went to the police and filed charges against Johnny Depp and claimed he was an abusive piece of shit their entire marriage, it was kind of hard to ignore since it made sense. Her face was all bruised up and why else would someone file for divorce so quickly after their spouse’s parent had died? I mean, it would have to take something pretty major to do something so cold, right?
So, like so many people at the time, I whole-heartedly believed Amber, because lying about domestic violence is a fucking bullshit thing to do.
However, then more and more people began to come forward backing Johnny, which, I mean, I get, he’s a beloved famous actor. But it means a lot when almost every woman you’ve even shared a smoke with comes out and says “There is no chance in hell this shit could be true, Johnny is a super decent guy who doesn’t even raise his voice at women.” Even his ex, who he left for Amber, came forward saying she didn’t believe this shit.
Then, Johnny’s friend, Doug Stanhope, came forward and was like “Listen, this bitch has been pulling shit for years and Johnny predicted like a week ago that she was going to try some evil blackmail shit when he didn’t agree to paying her $50,000 a month in spousal support”. (Note that Amber didn’t come forward about the abuse until after Johnny rejected that spousal support request. Not that I’m taking sides, but I get why people might find that shady). Anyway, before you reject Stanhope’s claims as some guy just trying to get in on a big celebrity scandal, read what he said:
Bingo and I were at Johnny’s house for most of that Saturday until just before the alleged assault. We assumed initially that his dour mood was because of his mother’s death the day before. But he opened up in the most vulnerable of ways that it was not only his mother, but that Amber was now going to leave him, threatening to lie about him publicly in any and every possible duplicitous way if he didn’t agree to her terms. Blackmail is what I would imagine other people might put it, including the manner in which he is now being vilified.
He hadn’t slept in days with anxiety. You’d call him a paranoid if you didn’t know better. But he knew better and he was right.
As he finally felt like he could sleep, we left him. From what we now read in the news, later that night the police were called to his house for a domestic dispute. Finding no criminal act had occurred and no signs of physical abuse, the police left.
Everything Johnny had told us that she’d been threatening had actually come to be. It blew up in the news, raced through the Internet like a plague and blew up on Twitter like it was the McMartin child abuse scandal. People are swarming with torches on social media.
But any one of my friends will tell you I always call them out on bulls—. Abusing women is bulls—. Johnny doesn’t abuse anyone. And he told me that day ahead of time that she’d pull some kind of s— like this.
Johnny Depp got used, manipulated, set up and made to look like an a–hole. And he saw it coming and didn’t or couldn’t do anything to stop it.
First things first, yes, Johnny Depp hands out with a guy named Bingo, so there is some humour in this travesty of a situation. Second, I don’t know who Doug Stanhope is, but I get a really authentic vibe from his statement, and it all kind of reminds me of one of those really frustrating episodes of like a teen drama where someone is being set up for some shit but no one believes them and it’s super annoying for the viewer.
Aside from all these people coming out in support of Johnny and calling bullshit on Amber, I really have to bring up some hardcore evidence that maybe Amber Heard read “Gone Girl” one too many times. TMZ released the police reports from when they responded to Amber’s domestic disturbance call on Saturday night. You know, the night Johnny allegedly threw the phone at her? Anyway, when they responded they fully investigated and found that no crime had been committed and at that time, there wasn’t a mark on Amber and even she said nothing had happened.
Yes, something could have definitely happened after the police left, but again I go back to the fact that Amber didn’t go to the police until five days after the incident and that wasn’t until AFTER Johnny rejected her divorce demands. Also, there were some pics of Amber out and about the day after the alleged cell phone incident without any marks on her face. I mean, this all seems kind of shady, right?
Basically, we have two absolutely awful options: 1) Johnny Depp is an abusive asshole, or 2) Amber Heard a manipulative evil bitch who is using the serious issue of domestic violence as a tool to get more money out of Johnny Depp.
The jury is still out on this one, but the whole thing is an absolute mess.

ERROR – First things first, yes, Johnny Depp hands out with a guy named Bingo, so there is some humour in this travesty of a situation. Second, I don’t know who Doug Stanhope is – ERROR
Doug Stanhope is the actual guy, so you know who he is, and Bingo is his wife, no matter how funny her name might seem. Both are friends with him. Other than that I agree with you.
However, no one will believe anything because Johnny Depp has already been sentenced by society.
I do believe no one will ever listen to another version. He’s already guilty. They won’t care.
Which is such a shame for abused women all over the world. It’s such a shame for me. It makes me shiver. I just hope she isn’t lying because if she is I want to see her in jail.

Here are few more interesting facts from the latest episode of Dynasty
1. There is a story circulating that Depp’s bodyguards heard Heard (yes I couldn’t wait to write that) yell from the next room “Stop hitting me!”. They rushed in and Depp was 20 feet away in the kitchen, she was laying down on the sofa on the phone. In other words, she was setting up her friend to call the cops. Supposedly they are also willing to testify that the violent person in that relationship he Amber, not Johnny.
2. Perhaps it doesn’t matter, but Heard has also admitted to lying to the Australian government about smuggling dogs in her purse to evade customs and lied on her customs form about them being in the plane. This might seem just a stupid thing to compare lying about domestic violence, but when you analyze her behavior it is very sociopathic. She fired her personal assistant claiming that they supposedly filled out the form and had her sign it. Then there is the fact that she initially said she didn’t hide the dogs, the customs agent saw the dogs and let her through, so she was more than happy to risk that guy’s job, as well. I can’t imagine lying on a worker and trying to get them fired because I felt entitled to break the laws of another country.

They are both actors. They are professionals at fooling people. So there is no reason to believe either one of them. Best to have no opinion.
