I’ve wanted to run away but I didn’t. I was able to get over what I needed to get over.

A kid I knew from boarding school also did this, disappeared and it appeared there was foul play involved, but in actuality he was hiding out. Can’t fully speak to his state of mind, but from everything I heard it definitely sounded like he was under a lot of pressure, external and internal.

FLIPPER AND EVE NOT FLIPPER AND STEVE

I’m OUTRAGED. My two year old daughter saw this and I immediately had to try and explain it away. She was like “Doryyyy!!” and I said “Don’t worry baby, there’s no such thing as gay people”. Then she goes “Pretty water... pretty fish!!” and I was like “Exactly. Marriage should be between a man and a woman.”

The clip *does* show two human women at an aquarium. Ergo, lesbian.

I have a relative who’s had a substance abuse problem for about 30 years. He started having violent outbursts only about 3 years ago. He hasn’t hit anyone yet but he flies into rages from time to time. When it happens his wife moves out for a couple of days until he calms down. Only his wife and brother have witnessed…

Right. “He didn’t hit me” means exactly that.

How likely is it, that a man never shows any signs of violence against his various partners in 50+ years and all of a sudden he becomes this serial abuser as Heard claims?

I don’t think the problem is that she said that he was never abusive in their relationship (that is relevant, generous, and necessary), but that she said that Heard’s claims were “outrageous.” I recently had to do a custody thing for an ex in which new gf claimed that he did things in their relationship that I would…

TMZ are a bunch of twats. 5 minutes earlier they were calling Amber “the gold digger bisexual” or words to that effect. They blow with whatever wind comes along.

Oh chivalry....

Wasn’t the consensus among jezebel commenters, that women would come out in droves to corroborate Amber Heard’s story, namely Paradis and Winona Ryder?

So did I at age 18.

I agree. Paul Bettany can take several seats, but Vanessa is the mother of Depp’s children and if anyone can offer a valid opinion here, it is her. That said, Depp’s relationship with Vanessa could have been wildly different from his one with Heard (I can’t imagine how it wouldn’t be). This entire situation is a…

I think what she said can equally be just as true as what Amber said. They’re two different women, in two different relationships. And if there was heavy substance abuse involved during the later relationship (as has been suggested), it’s very possible that they may have even been in relationships with two different…

I meant that the drugs and booze could just be affecting him more now. Or maybe he’s into heavier drugs. She mentions that he’s become quite a paranoid person now. There are a lot of reasons and him having not hit a woman before this (that we know of) isn’t proof that he didn’t abuse Heard now. The entire thing just…

Has she claimed he was a serial abuser though?

I agree whatever she has to say is more relevant to the discussion than some dude who goes for a beer with Depp occasionally and thinks he’s a great guy. But just an observation from someone whose peer group is starting to transition to second spouses, men seem to sometimes pull shit with second, younger wives that…

People change. Especially when they are heavily into drugs and alcohol. Maybe it’s bringing out some mental illness that people assumed was just his eccentricity.
