wow. watching "what's eating gilbert grape" is a real 90s flashback. life was fun when we didnt know johnny depp is a dick.
what/ ? Depp is an awesome person.
he's an abusive arsehole. visiting kids in a hospital doesnt negate abusing your girlfriend. she might also be an arsehole, mind, but that doesnt stop him being a dick.
amber heard was the abusive one
I think it's a case where they were both terrible to each other.
There are no winners in that bullshit
some psychologists out there can probably explain how this vicious cycle works
I have no doubt. Shit attects shit and creates more shit.

I wouldn't say that. There's footage of him coming into the room slamming kitchen cupboards with a look that could kill. I don't think he's the meek and mild soul he wanted everyone to think he was.
His former partners described him as very nice though, as far as I know. I'd see that more as reaction to Amber Heard. My mom slammed a lot of things while my father had an affair and was verbally abusive against us. I wouldn't call that her fault.
He may not have been a raging alcoholic when he was with other partners at the time. No one really knows what happened in that relationship but I do know the old "she/he made me do it" doesn't fly.
He's been an alco and a heroin junkie for some time.
Just did a better job of hiding it maybe.
Ah huh
Yeah that's true. I'm choosing to believe him over her because of how she lied court. At the end of the day, I don't really know what's going on between them.
Yeah there's no doubt she was not an innocent party. What went on was obviously toxic.
"choosing to believe him" and "blaming her for his actions" are different things
without video/audio evidence I assume everything she says about him are lies. Slamming cabinets is barely anything compared with taking a shit in the bed and throwing things at him. He sure is not nice. But would you be nice to your partner if they're physically abusive?
Yeah. My mum had a super short temper during those years. But no I wouldn't call her reaction to my father's abuse abusive. Victims shouldn't have to stick to their best behaviour at all times to be called a victim.
yeah, nah.
court testimony doesn't support your story
yeah at first I thought Depp was the abusive one, until I watched her repeatedly lie in court.
Tbh i think they're a toxic combination who ended up abusing each other on the reg
reminds me of those r/relationship posts about how difficult it is to leave a toxic relationship
yes it does? her also being abusive doesnt absolve him. I hold a lot of contempt for her, too, she just doesnt happen to be in the movie im watching (what does she actually do?)
