Amber Heard‘s legal team has come out to speak against all of the allegations that have been made against the actress after she stepped out accusing Johnny Depp of domestic violence this past week. The news has been covering every single angle of this case and unfortunately shining a bad light on Amber.
Listen, I will say this once. Johnny Depp is innocent until proven guilty, that is something we know for sure. This case should be taken seriously though, I like to think that everyone knows that. Nobody knows what went on behind closed doors between the two of them and the victim blaming that has occurred is absolutely disgusting. There is a reason why many women, and men, of domestic violence don’t come forward.
Here is what her lawyers had to say.
“As the result of Amber’s decision to decline giving an initial statement to the LAPD, her silence has been used against her by Johnny’s team. Amber did not provide a statement to the LAPD in an attempt to protect her privacy and Johnny’s career. Johnny’s team has forced Amber to give a statement to the LAPD to set the record straight as to the true facts, as she cannot continue to leave herself open to the vicious false and malicious allegations that have infected the media. Amber has suffered through years of physical and psychological abuse at the hands of Johnny. In domestic violence cases, it is not unusual for the perpetrator’s playbook to include miscasting the victim as the villain,” the statement continued. “In reality, Amber acted no differently than many victims of domestic violence, who think first of the harm that might come to the abuser, rather than the abuse they have already suffered. Amber can no longer endure the relentless attacks and outright lies launched against her character in the Court of Public Opinion since the tragic events of May 21st. With her statement Amber hopes to give the LAPD the opportunity to conduct an accurate and complete investigation into the events of that evening and before. If that occurs, and the truth is revealed, there is no doubt that Amber’s claims will be substantiated beyond any doubt, and hopefully Johnny will get the help that he so desperately needs.
From the beginning it has been Amber’s desire to keep this matter as private as possible, even though LAPD officers responded to a 911 call made by a third-party. The LAPD officers viewed not only the disarray that Johnny had caused in the apartment but also the physical injuries to Amber’s face. We filed the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage at the very end of the day on Monday May 23rd and we did not serve Johnny with the Petition at the premiere of Alice Through the Looking Glass that evening. We sent a letter to Johnny’s counsel team the next morning making it clear we wanted to keep this matter out of the media. We then held off requesting a domestic violence restraining order as we knew that Johnny was out of the country.
We took the high road. Unfortunately, Johnny’s team immediately went to the press and began viciously attacking Amber’s character. Amber is simply a victim of domestic violence, and none of her actions are motivated by money. Amber is a brave and financially independent woman who is showing the courage of her convictions by doing the right thing against Johnny’s relentless army of lawyers and surrogates.
The Family Law Court is not going to be influenced by misinformation placed in the social media based on anonymous sources. Amber is the victim. Amber is a hero.” (credit)
There are so many questions as to why, Amber and Johnny are obviously going to go through a very bitter divorce and people think that Amber is using this as leverage. Which could be true, who am I to say? I don’t know Amber or Johnny, I have no idea how either of them act. Amber was asking for spousal support and Johnny said he didn’t want to pay, so when money is involved people get nasty, all of that is the truth, we all know that.
My only question is why would Amber do this? Obviously the odds are stacked against her but why would she got up against the biggest name in Hollywood? It would make her look awful if she was lying, she would be blacklisted and never be seen again.
All we can do is see how this plays out in court.
