Ego. Fragility. A culture of male entitlement. Narcissism.

I still think it doesn’t support the anti-Heard folks camp. If she were going to make shit up, she wouldn’t do it after appearing at a birthday party where she’s going to be photographed.

They also are focusing on the fact that when cops arrived the evening of their argument, Heard sent them away without making a statement.

When Amber Heard filed for divorce only days after the death of Depp’s mother it seemed like a particularly bitchy thing to do, adding stress to stress for him. Now it makes a lot more sense. The aftermath of a bereavement is exactly the time someone with drug/alcohol issues would go completely off the deep end. I…

Calm down. Asking for support in the initial filing is standard and I was commenting that it’s interesting she chose a relatively low amount as a starting point.

That was way harsh, Tai.

Also way funny. :D

Don’t forget lying about his Native American heritage. I can’t believe anyone bought that and for so long, frankly.

When my husband relapsed, he became paranoid and obsessive. Though he never touched me, he did start buying lots of guns. I sympathize with Heard. Get out now.

Man, fuck Johnny Depp, and fuck anyone who’s still supporting him because they thought he was dreamy in the 80s. This guy has been acting like an entitled piece of shit for decades, generally displaying his sour attitude and spoiled-brat view of the world for all to see at random intervals (comments about American…

I don’t know about that. She never struck me as a greedy gold digger. She has her own career and money. She struck me as a foolish, immature, party girl who was very naive to get swept up in a relationship with a much older family man who was going through a midlife crisis and has had drug/alcohol problems for…

It’s depressing to see people doggedly defending Depp everywhere online but no one should be surprised. The reaction to the much, much more violent pictures of Rihanna amongst Chris Brown’s fans was similar. I think a lot of people cling to their initial assessment of someone because the idea that they made a gross…

From what I understand, if you don’t ask for spousal support in the initial filing, you never can, so whether or not she actually needed the money, her lawyer probably threw it in there just in case.

I know. I went from cackling over each new post on the divorce to ah-shit-this-is-just-tragic in about a second and a half. I just feel sorry for that poor woman now.

I just left my husband of five years because his alcoholism was chronic and led him to be verbally abusive at times. He scared me because when I asked him to stop the answer was an empathic “no” and gaslighting me into a different place. I COMPLETELY understand her actions (inasmuch as one can understand another).

I still enjoyed the first Pirates movie, though.

Made me think of an article I read that highlighted the need for shelters that allowed pets. It said that some women would decline a bed at shelters that didn’t allow pets and stay in cars, or on the streets instead because they couldn't stand being seperated from the pet and feared for the pet's life if they left the…

The detail about Amber wanted a restraining order or her dog is quite chilling. To me that says she’s genuinely really fearful of his violence issues (honestly, not that I doubted her anyway). It’s such a horrible situation all round.

No surprise here. In my experience with abusive relationships alcohol was always a factor. I’m glad Amber is getting out, and I hope she gets the help she needs to heal. I can’t imagine having to do all that under such public scrutiny. What a brave young woman. My heart goes out to her.

I’m going to choose to ignore the awful, ignorant things the singer from EODM is saying. Please folks, read the whole letter by Ismael El Iraki. It is sharp, intelligent, mournful, righteously angry, and frequently hilarious. It’s all the more fascinating since I’m guessing English isn’t his first language (either he…

Modern Art = I could do that...but I don’t know Charles Saatchi.
