Hollywood is not known as a place where people are treated fairly as a rule is it? Gagging orders, black listing, settlements, the backlash from fans...who in their right mind would take on an A lister unless they had to?

I still say there are faults on both sides, you would also have to disregard some statements to refute that.
You're biased because you seem to be disregarding a lot of evidence that suggests that Amber was the abuser.

Amber Heard benefited a lot from using the metoo movement, lots of endorsements and **** came from that raised profile. The world pretty much believed her completely, I believed her. Johnny Depp was cancelled, he lost his most lucrative consistent role in Captain Jack, his reputation was in tatters and Fantastic Beasts had to weather a storm of bad press because they kept him on board. She told him the world wouldn't believe him and she was right, she knew what she was doing from the off.

If you didn't disregard a lot of what's been said, you'd know that Amber Heard was no shrinking violet, terrified of taking on Depp in public. She knew how to play the game and she played it. Luckily, she's terrible at covering her tracks and it's all since blown up in her face.

At the end of the day, if the genders were reversed and Depp was the abuser, I wouldn't say that Heard was just as abusive for defending herself, people snap when they are abused and if she lashed out at him after so much abuse then I wouldn't make out that they were both abusers because they clearly wouldn't be and it would be hypocritical to think differently if you switched the genders back.

I thought he was guilty as **** when all this came out in 2016, but I simply can't see the evidence that has come to light and think that he is the abuser or that he's just as bad as she is. She was the abuser in this relationship based on everything I've seen.
