Why did Amber Heard call the media in 2016 instead of the police if she feared Johnny Depp, and how did her bruise disappear overnight? Let’s break it down #justiceforJohnnyDepp

Upon filing for divorce, Amber Heard’s attorney made financial demands on Johnny Depp and accused him of abuse. The 24 May 2016 letter says Amber wants to handle this quietly, so she has “not yet” asked for a restraining order.

Two days later, at 9:45 am, Amber Heard’s attorney noticed an emergency hearing for the next day (27 May 2016) at 10:00 am. This is the ONLY information shared with Johnny Depp's team about the hearing that would occur in 23 hours:

Johnny Depp was in Spain on 27 May 2016, leaving him no chance to prepare for the hearing. He was not an intercontinental threat to Amber Heard, but she claimed a need for immediate protection.

The date Amber Heard picked for her hearing was three days after Johnny Depp’s mother died, it was his daughter’s birthday, and the premiere of his movie: Alice Through the Looking Glass.

The restraining order application by Amber Heard makes no mention of the nightmarish “bottle” incident. She mentions only 3 incidents in April and May 2016 and alludes to other abuse that occurred in their relationship. Read it here: walzermelcher.sharefile.com/d-s6068d6bdaab…

Amber and her attorney appeared in court on 27 May 2016. But there was no requirement for Amber to be there. These applications are typically heard on the papers in chambers, without the judge speaking with counsel or the applicant.

The media was there in force. The court did not know about the hearing until Amber Heard showed up. The only one who could have leaked was Amber or Johnny Depp’s side. No way JD would want this attention.

Calling the media to create a spectacle is inconsistent with someone needing protection. If Johnny Depp were dangerous as Amber Heard claimed, she would have called the police, not the media.

Amber Heard gets the restraining order and walks out the front door of the courthouse (not using the underground or side escape available to high-profile parties). Amber appears to have a large bruise on her right cheek, a scene widely shared in the media.

By miraculous healing powers, or the magical Arnica cream, Amber Heard’s bruise that was highly visible on 27 May 2016 vanished the next day.

Amber Heard’s father texted Johnny Depp that Amber was scared she would have no place to live unless she got the restraining order. Johnny responded that he told Amber she could live in the penthouse “as long as she liked!!” deppdive.net/pdf/nw/witness…

Amber Heard’s mother also texted Johnny Depp on 27 May 2016, claiming Amber’s lawyer instructed Amber that she “had to” seek the restraining order. That’s ridiculous: Lawyers give advice; Clients make decisions.

After public backlash, Amber dropped her request for $50,000 per month in alimony, the use of Johnny’s three penthouses, and a Range Rover.

Amber Heard misused the protections designed for victims of abuse to obtain a restraining order against Johnny Depp when he was in Spain and had no chance to defend himself. It was a further act of abuse by Amber against Johnny.

Amber Heard just acknowledged telling her nurse Erin Falati on 26 May 2016 that she was having a terrible week due to the “negative media attention” from the divorce. Was AH’s restraining order spectacle the next day her plan to change the narrative?

Amber Heard says she was “following advice of counsel” in listing the 3 most recent acts of abuse in seeking a restraining order (no mention of the bottle incident). But her divorce counsel objected to JD’s subpoena for this trial to verify.

The recordings played in court showed JD’s desire to avoid conflict, which made AH aggressively pursue him. This was consistent with Dr Curry’s evaluation that AH fears abandonment. AH didn’t need a restraining order from someone who was trying to avoid her.
