Everyone knows how much I love to debunk sad attempts at debunking AH support. I may only get a part of the way through this tonight because Iβm le tired.

Okay first β amberopenletter.com Hereβs the letter. Please read it if you havenβt yet because you know weβre about to get into the weeds. #ExpertsForAmber
So, this is blatantly wrong. Organisations have been talking about the use of defamation lawsuits (&NDAs) to silence survivors for a while.
Ms Mag: βperpetrators of sexual violence use the courts to punish survivors for speaking out about abuse.β

#ExpertsForAmber This is an article from before the verdict β remarking on the trend & use of defamation lawsuits as a form of litigious abuse.

Given that defamation lawsuits were already becoming an issue, in my opinion, watching the lawsuit and verdict play out in Virginia the way it did would be deeply concerning.
Add to that the fact abusers are threatening to βDeppβ their victims #ExpertsForAmber

The NCADV made it very clear how concerned they were about the implications of the trial. ncadv.org/blog/posts/ncaβ¦
abuse survivors evidence is OFTEN just disbelieved if it doesnβt fit a certain narrative: Amber had dozens of photos, recorded injuries, witnesses to violence & audio and written confessions of violence.
But it wasnβt enough. #ExpertsForAmber

If your evidence just isnβt accepted β you could be found to have defamed your abuser. Thatβs scary.
And thatβs if you get to court. Sometimes litigious abuse is just the person with more resources trying to bankrupt their victim with legal expenses.

Hereβs another article, from Forbes, about the prevalent use of the courtroom to continue to perpetuate abuse. You know, the problem akr doesnβt think exists.

βPeople hate Putin & Kim Jong-un more than Amber Heard so itβs entirely untrue to say the online harassment against her was unprecedented.β
If you look up whataboutism in the dictionary itβs just a screencap of that tweet.

The other issue, here, is that people started to call Amber Heard a liar before she said anything. The Milani Cosmetics nonsense started during her lawyerβs opening statements.
Verdict aside, Amber was mocked and humiliated for weeks long before the jury made any decisions.

That, in and of itself, is what might stop victims from coming forward β the idea that if they say one thing wrong or focus on one wrong detail, no one will believe them.
No, we donβt believe in mutual abuse. The JURY that ruled in Deppβs favour did.
Any kind of abuse by Depp against Heard means there was no defamation. Mutual abuse doesnβt exist.

thehotline.org/resources/the-β¦ great resource on it.
Abusers LOVE to turn and retaliatory violence that their victims participates in β either in immediate self defence or because they have been living in a cycle of abuse and normalised violence so long that it seems normal to them β against their victims.
Itβs classic DARVO.

Abuse survivors fight back, sometimes they taunt or bother or hurt the person who abuses them. Thatβs a part of the abuse cycle.
This is one personβs account of their own experiences & I think it captures some of these dynamics well.

So βParental Alienationβ has been very much debunked. If you havenβt watched it yet, check out βAllen v. Farrowβ that doc breaks it down well β & this idea that courts always award women custody is also false β & not even a little relevant?
Men who want custody usually get at least joint custody. But weβre in the weeds now.
βI like oranges. I want to take a nap.β Those arenβt mutually exclusive either. Because sentences donβt have to be?
In saying both of those things though, Iβm suggesting both are true regardless of their relationship to each other β so literally what is your point

Even if you believe was lying (she wasnβt) β you should find the harassment she endured & the fact she was forced to testify about sexual assault to be extremely unsettling.
Amber was abused by the public before a verdict was read. What happened to her could happen to anyone.
