I've avoided this out of respect for Johnny Depp.
Authough the audios were public and he knew anyone could hear this, he never spoke about sexual assault.
Every person, every org that signed #OpenLetterToAmber needs to hear what they support. #UnsignAmbersLetter
Heard stans are upset the truth of this audio is coming out. The full audio is out there, someone also said the VA website. She berates his parenting and when he asks him to leave refuses. Thank you.
Transcripts of after this cuts off show Amber was touching him. She tries to ask him to not hold her away or she'll fall. Depp repeatedly says he will not. Depp finally gets her out of the house and she is incredulous she has to wait outside.
And bc some are unclear on the definition: SA is any unwanted sexual contact.
So, draw your own conclusions based on the audio and transcripts.
But if it were reversed and Depp was saying these things to her, there wouldn't be a single person arguing maybe he wasn't touching her when she didn't want him to.
Her* to leave.
I encourage every Amber supporter to listen to this audio. I'm not attempting to paint any picture, this audio was the most telling. Depp mentions calling police and Amber states something like "You don't want to do that." It's a difficult, emotional and triggering audio.
Lasty, when similar audios were leaked in Greenwood, I supported her. I support all victims, not just victims of a specific gender.

#FalseAllegationsAreAbuse. There were 9 publicized arrests of women who made false reports of abuse to themselves/children in 18 months.
Johnny Depp was falsely accused.
The open letter to Amber ignores this. Falsely accused abuse victims deserve support and due process.
After "Dear Colleague" lead to Title IX changes, at least 700 lawsuits regarding false allegations and removal of due process were filed by students who found themselves excluded from their universities on the basis of sometimes anonymous reports. Eventually, Title IX was
revised again in response to the allowances that removed civil protections and due process protections.
We can't strip individuals of their right to defend, protect and avoid malicious prosecution, or to live restored when proven innocent. #OpenLetterToAmberSupportsAbuse
Reminder Women's March has a woman who served time for the kidnapping, brutal mutilation and murder of a man as an esteemed speaker.
Investigators found the scene so harrowing they couldn't place his time of death. #NotMyFeminism
Roberta Kaplan started Times Up Legal Fund, which matched complaints with attorneys and recieved millions in donations. While noise was made over high salaries and perks with little actual aid given, it was her outing aiding Cumo that broke the fund. #NotMyFeminism
Amy Schumer SA'd a guy in college and recieved a 'feminist empowerment' article detailing how it made her realize her self worth.
She later served on the Times Up Board. #NotMyFeminism
'Kamilla' threading lies, debunked: Johnny Depp never 'promised to buy Wounded Knee and return it.
He stated he would like to, wanted to, and questioned why the government didn't do it.
A quote taken out of context.
Roman Polanski was never accused of 'multiple' SA of minors. There was one case, and Polanski stated he assumed the girl was of age.
Why? BC he met her at an adult party and bc she was dropped off to the house, late, for a photo shoot alone. Tragic occurrence, but the girl's
parents clearly have their own responsibility for it as well. Who allows a minor girl to a photoshoot alone so late at a private residence? To go alone to adult parties?
There is a moment on the tapes I've struggled with posting about. I can't be sure. I fast forwarded in discomfort. It sounds like completed SA, by Heard to Depp. Starts with him asking-Really? You really want to do this now? After, she begins insulting him, his parenting.
One of the most disturbing things is that it's right after he tells her to leave. This is a recurring thing noted on the tapes: when Depp is asking Heard to leave, she becomes aggressive, sexually. 1/6 men are victims if SA/SH.
They're unrecognized for so many reasons.
Many male victims don't even conceptualize their own SA/SH as what it is, until much later.
Consent goes both ways. A woman forcing sexual contact is assault. A man enduring in silence is not consent. Help: rainn.org/resources

As social media has been proving Amber Heard's lies told in Elaine's opening statement (TY Milani) bringing this back and hopeful it gets where it needs to go.

And BONUS, there's video. BC of course there is. With Ryan Seacrest, So You Want to be a Model:
The audio played yesterday was, imo, audio of Johnny Depp at a depressed low. AH convinced him to break TRO to record, again, secretly. She begged him to cuddle in bed after telling the world she feared for her life.
So, male victims of emotional abuse+ suicide risk: a thread.
First, Depp faced and allowed the general public to hear that audio, which was brave. He doesn't have to be here. He didn't have to sue AH, esp with knowledge this would be public, that he would be eviscerated on stand. He has done this to clear his name. #JohnnyDeppIsInnocent
Men are and have been the highest risk group for suicide. Women may make more attempts by some studies, but men complete the act more frequently. The amount of men we lose to suicide is epidemic, but little is done for prevention, screening or aid.
