Also, her own personal knowledge has shown that no matter what she says, people will still be pissed at her and she’ll lose fans so not adding to the drama is a good tactic.

Come on, dude. He said “a smart understanding of what rape is becoming and what we’re now understanding about it.” He’s making exactly the point you say he should be making. Jesus, why does this conversation always devolve into policing people for not phrasing things in exactly the way people like you approve of?

“Agree with me or perish.”

I don’t see how she’s dancing around anything. She and Kurt are friends, denounced his views and fired him nonetheless, and explained that she thinks focus on him over rape is counterproductive.

Very real possibility, the amount of family members i have who are sweet caring people when sober, and then absolute fuck wits and abusive when drunk has proved that for me. I don’t let them off scott free because they were drunk though.

As someone who once knew the horror of climbing into bed every night with someone I realized I didn’t trust and had good reason to be afraid of, I never questioned Amber for one second. Sending love and healing to her!

9. A man will record himself bragging about raping, beating, molesting, assaulting us, but we are still required to shoulder the burden of proof that we weren’t asking for it.

I definitely agree society has changed for the better on this since the 90s. I remember all the stories about the rockstars of my youth destroying shit. I know a lot of musicians now and they’re like, hey man, you didn’t put out your recycling before you left the hotel room, that’s really disrespectful. The staff will…

People go out of the their way to find fault with the woman, even if there’s video and photos and written brags to the contrary (Steubenville, for example >_>).

I think he does have some concerns now, more because of that horrible finger injury and doubts as to whether he’s in mental and emotional shape to make movies without delays than because people in Hollywood give a fuck about his behavior.

Also same! Though I wouldn’t blame her if she’d been concerned about her ability to maintain her career in the future. There’s been a disgusting amount of support for Depp, and it’s not clear if her career will suffer as a result.

My guess is he's always been gross but people are more inclined to agree now his looks have faded.

Depp should be worried about his own tanking career at this point, he’s the LAST person to be blacklisting anybody.

Has Johnny Depp always been gross, but we just didn’t notice, or did he become gross recently? Gross.

Same! But then again I don’t have Amber Heard’s earning potential. In any career trajectory including the most far-fetched scenarios.

People just go out of their way to discredit women who have been assaulted, abused, raped... Sure, all victims are in cahoots plotting in some musty basement! Plotting what exactly I don’t know though.

Wow. I really hope people never call Heard a golddigger again. If I’m honest with myself, I would have kept at least a decent portion of the same settlement if I were in her shoes, and wouldn’t have blamed her if she decided to keep all of it and treat it as a nest egg.

Oh they haven't left her alone. Now they're saying it's just a ploy to save face because it never happened and she's still a gold digging whore. She could literally hand a suitcase of money to an abuse survivor and they'd still think she was lying.

Good on Amber for choosing to do something positive with money that would always remind her of a dark time. I’d just like to point out that the media and the general public would rake her over the coals if she had chosen to keep the money - which would be well within her rights. I hope people will finally leave her…
