Amber Heard and the Psychiatrist

[Atma]

If she's emboldened by winning the case and getting away with this, she will feel invincible and her next victim may have it even worse than Johnny.

Apparently, Depp's contention is that her article (published by the Washington Post in Dec of 2018), titled "I Spoke Up Against Sexual Violence", took money out of his pocket. What his team is attempting to prove is that he didn't physically and/or sexually abuse Amber, rendering her claims as false and defamatory -- and then whether or not this in fact caused him to lose out on roles (which I think is irrefutable at this point). This is to say that the only reason Depp's legal team is focusing on Amber's potential for domestic abuse, is that often an abuser will accuse the abused of being the abuser, and in particular, if a woman is the abuser and a male is the abused, as evidenced by overwhelming data, and espoused by the psychiatrist who took the stand yesterday. 

I think the far greater risk of emboldening falls societally on women believing it's okay to defame someone in order to prop themselves up in the court of public opinion. If Amber loses and falls out of the good graces of social justice, and Johnny is seen as a victim, and this is a closer reflection of reality then her claims in the article, that will be a good thing.
