Problem is, it's not really a new development. Pretty much everything from the beginning was telling us something is off here, and all fingers pointed to Amber. But apparently a man being the victim of abuse is too incoveivable of an idea for some progressives to fathom.
I agree. This was a case where I was skeptical from the start. Not a single other former partner of Depp joined in to dogpile, which is rare in these cases, at least from what I've seen.
There was a sketchy vibe surrounding Heard from the beginning
I think there's something particularly diabolical about manipulating the downfall of a person's career strictly out of some sort of spite, if that is in fact what happened here.
I fully admit I don't know the full story. I'll withhold final judgment until more concrete information is revealed, but this looks terrible right now.
