Basically, “mitigating factors” does not mean what this judge thinks it means.

He doesn’t. This is Amber Heard’s camp doing PR to sway public opinion.

Please do explain how the arresting officer, an openly gay woman, is homophobic?

And the really great thing about the hypocrisy is that everyone is citing the hotel incident with Kate Moss. And yet, she basically sang the same tune Heard’s ex is now singing: it was an overreaction. In fact, Depp and Moss kept dating, broke-up, reconciled, broke-up again after that hotel incident.

Victims are humans. Humans tend to not want to 1) keep reliving bad experiences, 2) throw people they love or once lived under the bus, and 3) time heals (most) wounds.

I did not make any excuses for him. Court of public opinion is notorious for getting it wrong which is why this situation should be in an actual court, with an arrest and charges and prosecution, and then determination of guilt or innocence. Don’t put words in my mouth.

I think now the fact that you are basically saying, now, “only a bruise” (when yes there is so much more to this whole thing) speaks volumes about how much you know about domestic violence and the language used to undermine victims. The discourse around “bruises” is as deeply entrenched in victim blaming around…

No, you’re not comprehending the words I’m saying.

I have been following since the beginning when a lot of people called Amber Heard a gold digger trophy wife whore and then a few days later the exact people say poor Amber she’s a victim how can people call her a gold digger whore.

What does who called 911 have to do with it? That has nothing to do with what you said.

I’m choosing the side of victims of domestic violence. Too often, the initial acts of violence are small things like grabbing your arm. Too often, victims downplay those acts. And too often, those initial “they’re just overblowing it” from the victims turn into broken bones and dead victims.

People are saying Depp doesn’t have bruises when we have no clue if he did or not.

I think the most disturbing part of everyone saying “the ex says it wasn’t abuse so it’s not” trend in these comments is if you’ve ever actually worked with victims of rape and DV (I have), you would know that victims typically excuse and downplay acts of violence towards them. There’s a reason why many women in…

We don’t know Depp didn’t have bruises. Just because he didn’t take pictures does not mean he doesn’t have bruises.

Except we don’t know if Depp WASN’T bruised.

What Heard’s ex is doing is minimizing domestic violence (and victims are known to do that). Maybe there’s no pictures of bruises but if someone grabbed my arm there would be bruises and I’m sure the same is true in this situation.

It’s like really stupid easy: are they drunk or high? Don’t have sex.

I think this boils down to Bethenny worked very hard to be successful and Skinny Girl is her baby. She mentions it to Luanne one night out drinking (yes, I remember the episode not just because of flashbacks, but I’ve watched from day one and have loved Bethenny for day one) and on more than one occasion Luanne acts…

For real.

If by a few bucks, you mean a few million or tens of million?
