I have no doubt he was abused by her. Of the two of them, she is the only one with a history of abusing her partners. That's not to say he didn't abuse her back, but I think it's terrible how one-sided this has all been portrayed in the media and in fandom circles.

Johnny Depp had an emotionally abusive mother. From what I can tell, she started dying, and he reacted by leaving his long-term supportive partner and kids and hooking up with this (surprise!) emotionally abusive young woman in a relationship that mimicked the exact one he was having to confront with his dying mother. In fact, I think the huge fight that Amber video-taped was right after his mother's death, wasn't it? I'm not making excuses for him, just noting that he has never displayed any sort of pattern of abuse, but rather a very unhealthy response to a major life stressor in this instance. It was all very poor decision-making on his part (I actually think leaving his partner was the worst part), but surely anyone with any empathy can understand what he was going through and why he reacted the way he did. But throughout the years, he has shown the utmost of gentility and sensitivity towards women, and I think it's a shame his career and reputation will be permanently tarnished by this one relationship. I'm glad he's decided to go for at least some retribution.

I didn't know any of this - I'm not in the habit of looking up personal info on people as a rule.

I think he's not looking for retribution, but simply to be heard and for the whole story to be told, which is a good thing.

Me neither, but I'll admit I've followed JD's life and career with some interest. He was my first teenage crush.

Yes, perhaps retribution was a poor choice of words. I think you're right in saying he just wants his side to be known.

While Depp offered that his first big purchase when he started making money in Hollywood was a house for his mother, Betty Sue. “My mom was born in a f—ing holler in eastern Kentucky. Her poor f—ing ass was on phenobarbital at 12,” he said. As the youngest of four, Depp described “irrational beatings” he received from his mother, and that she was “still his mom” even though she hurled things. “Maybe it’s an ashtray coming your way. Maybe you’re gonna get clunked with the phone,” Depp said. “It was a ghost house — no one talked. I don’t think there ever was a way I thought about people, especially women, other than ‘I can fix them.'” Depp also said he worshiped Betty Sue, but “she could be a real bitch on wheels.” At her 2016 funeral, he said: “My mom was maybe the meanest human being I have ever met in my life.”

Well, that's depressing.
