Still don’t care at all about #amberheardvsjohnnydepp
I do care about the fallout though. So as #AmberHeardlsALiar is still trending could I do a PSA re lying and abuse.
- abusers lie
- abused people lie
Lying happens for many reason including as a trauma reaction - deflect

One of the strategies of abuse is to confuse a victim so much they say contradictory things in panic.
They then get destroyed often for years for being ‘a liar’.
We need to be careful of generalising out that lying equals an abuser not someone abused. This would be dangerous.

We have to remember what we say in public shapes how jurors think.
Whatever you think of Heard, if we start reinforcing ideas such that lies, sudden changes in facial expression, perceived inappropriate affect and so on tell us truth, we get into seriously dangerous territory.
