In short, there's a common attitude both in public and in courts that someone can't be an abuser if they aren't "pure" (i.e. if they've ever done or said anything abusive themselves). People were successfully convinced that Amber Heard "had done bad stuff too" and thus couldn't be a victim of abuse (which, even if true, is incorrect both legally and logically, but that's the whole issue).
