🧵According to the #JusticeForJohhnyDepp "real victim" gate-keeping brigade, a "real victim' would not, for instance, fight back, "goad on" their abuser or belittle them, or buy them a knife as a gift. Yet, using this same bogus logic, one can't help but ask:
TW: Self-harm threats.

1. Is this how a "real victim" behaves? Forcing his "abuser" to cut him and also threatening to cut her? JD fans like to excuse this with the idea that JD had been pushed too far by her, but wouldn't one say the same about the times that AH reacted?
Sidenote: Amber bought JD the knife in June 2012 when she hadn't seriously experienced JD's abuses. JD was telling AH to cut him ca. July in 2016 during their divorce when, according to him, he'd already experienced years of abuse from her. Plus Manson did a similar thing to ERW.
2. Would a "real victim" express such violence in front of an "abuser" that he claimed he used to run and hide in rooms just in fear of her violence? In this dynamic, who fits the "real victim" stereotype better than the other? #JUSTICEFORAMBERHEARD #IStandWithAmberHeard
3. Would a "real victim" raise his voice like this to his "abuser" to the point of silencing her while the she was in the process of offering help to him? #JUSTICEFORAMBERHEARD #IStandWithAmberHeard #SpeakTruth2Power
4. Would a "real victim" say this, and in such a commanding tone, to his "abuser"? Remember that he claims he used to be so scared of her that he used to run and hide from her out of fear. (Notice how he says "don't pretend to be authoritative" and not "don't be authoritative").
5. Would a "real victim" complain about his "abuser" this way to his closest confidants and fail to express relief that he'd escaped the "abuser's" physical violence? #JUSTICEFORAMBERHEARD #IStandWithAmberHeard #SpeakTruth2Power Image
6. Would a "real victim" do this to his "abuser" in such a daring and open way? Who in this dynamic fits the "real victim" stereotype better? #JUSTICEFORAMBERHEARD #IStandWithAmberHeard #SpeakTruth2Power
7. Would a "real victim" express such hateful rage against his "abuser" to his close confidants for her having left him? If you say yes, what kind of rage then would abusers be expected to express in such texts? #JUSTICEFORAMBERHEARD #IStandWithAmberHeard #SpeakTruth2Power Image
8. Would a "real victim" insult and belittle his "abuser" this way? Would he "goad" her to insult his own children as he does here? #JUSTICEFORAMBERHEARD #IStandWithAmberHeard #BelieveAmberHeard
9. Would a "real victim" claim to never have been mentally or physically injured by his "abuser" just to refuse undergoing a psych evaluation to determine how much damage, if any, the "abuse" inflicted on him caused? #JUSTICEFORAMBERHEARD #IStandWithAmberHeard #BelieveAmberHeard Image
10. It should go w/o saying that I don't buy into the "real victim" stereotype that paints all victims with one broad brush as passive recipients of abuse. But if you do and support JD, for fairness and reason, apply that same "real victim" mentality to AH and not just to him...
11. If you do, you'll notice that, as with other fair approaches to the case, even the "real victim" stereotype applies better to Amber than it does to JD. So, even with this "real victim" logic, you should be able to see that Amber is the victim-survivor.

🧵 Domestic violence experts are worried about the dangerous myths spread about DV and rape during the Depp v Heard trial. Here are some of the victim-blaming myths spread by social media debunked by facts, data, and evidence (sources in the ALT text).

(Kamilla’s THREAD) Image
Myth: “A real victim would never hit their abuser.” Reality: According to studies, 23 to 71 percent of victims used violence against their abuser at some point in the relationship. Although violence is unacceptable, it is a common reaction to suffering long term physical abuse.

Myth: “A real abuse victim would have gone to the hospital.” Reality: The NCADV (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence) found that only 34% of people injured by intimate partners received medical care for their injuries. (See: undiagnosed brain injury epidemic.)

🧵Since we’re all feminists again, can we revisit the Depp v Heard case? Here’s a thread of the most damning evidence against Johnny, most of which was suppressed or ignored by social media. This is a long one. (Major warning for graphic and disturbing content).

(By Kamilla)

Johnny sent texts about wanting to rape, drown, burn, and “smack around” Amber before they even got married.
This audio confirms that Johnny headbutted Amber.

🧵A super long list of truly awful, bizarre, and downright weird shit “nice guy” Johnny Depp did that most people don’t know about. #JohnnyDeppIsAnAbuser

(Kamilla’s THREAD) Image
Johnny went on missions with bestie Marilyn Manson to buy nazi memorabilia. Manson has several Nazi inspired tattoos and it wasn’t the first time he went to go buy some fucked up nazi shit. The two have matching tattoos and Manson is Johnny’s daughters godfather. ImageImage
For his movie “the Lone Ranger” he played Tonto. Basically cosplayed as Native and when he got shit for it he said he’s actually part Native, which there is literally no proof of. Native leaders called him a pretendian and he got lots of scrutiny for it. ImageImage

#IStandWithAmberHeard as she takes the necessary step towards moving on from this nightmare... and with her voice intact. I find it telling that Depp put no gags at all on her, which makes one wonder why he sued her in the first place. (To globally abuse her, which he did)
I love how Amber Heard is using her voice here to make it clear that the US trial was a joke and that it was a traumatic experience for her that she cannot endure for a third time. I believe her. #IStandWithAmberHeard #AmberIsFree
Amber Heard speaks about the detrimental financial, psychological, emotional, and physical effects that Depp's litigation abuses on her have had on her. She also makes it clear that she will keep using her voice for advocacy. I love this! #IStandWithAmberHeard #AmberIsFree

Kamilla's🧵THREAD. What #that man did to his ex wife is nothing new. It’s called DARVO and it’s used by abusers to portray themselves as the victim, usually by framing the victim’s reactive violence as abuse. Here are a few other cases in which DARVO was used. Image
In 2009, Chris Brown assaulted Rihanna in a car. He punched her repeatedly in the arm and face, and put her in a headlock causing her to slowly lose consciousness. He maintains that he did this because Rihanna was hitting him.
In 2021, the cops were called on Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito after a witness reported a physical altercation. Upon arriving on the scene, Brian was able to successfully convince the cops that he was the victim because of his injuries. Just days later, Brian murdered Gabby.

🧵Camille Vasquez, in one of her smear campaigns against Amber Heard, recently suggested that Amber shed no tears in court. This is a lie. To see it, firstly, here is a zoomed video of Amber in her 2nd day of testimony. You'd be blind to not see the tears. #IStandWithAmberHeard
Here's the video without being zoomed. I can still see the tears, can't you? For those that are skeptical, this is from the second day of Amber's testimony, which was the 15th day of the trial on May 5th. Go check it out. (Source: Sky News YouTube channel) #AmberAppeals
(TW: Physical and Sexual Violence/Assault)

Here is a zoomed video of Amber's Australia SA testimony. It tore my heart to shreds going through this testimony just to get this clip but given how much Camille and Depp fans continue to lie about this, I felt I had to do it.
