Johnny Depp & Amber Heard Secret (all the usual TWs apply)

(Anonymous) 2022-08-07 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
The thing that strikes me about this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aca0KWoHtqQ) is how many times Amber Heard herself makes reference to Johnny Depp removing himself their fights, and how angry she gets about him doing that. At 3:36, says she can't trust him because he keeps splitting, and when he responds that he's not going to get into a physical altercation with her, Amber Heard asks him what his excuse is when things haven't gotten violent (yet). At 7:43, she says that he never fights for her and he never comes for her. Why does an abuse victim want her abuser to "fight for her" or to "come for her"? At 10:58, Amber Heard says she's "stronger" than Johnny Depp, because "running away" from their fights, which sometimes turn violent, mind you, is "easy." At 18:44, Amber Heard says Johnny Depp "runs away every single fight." At 28:02, Amber Heard sarcastically says he did the right thing and calls him "admirable" for running away. There are so many more references too, but this secret is long enough as is.

As someone whose family used "stopping the fight and leaving" as a way to shut down my legitimate problems with things in our relationships, I kinda get how it feels like running away when someone stops an argument. You don't get things talked about and solved by one party leaving and then not addressing this later or refusing to address it later.

NAYRT - This can be true, but that is very much not the way it comes across in the recording OP is quoting from. It very strongly comes across as AH deflecting responsibility for how aggressive she gets when they fight and then using whatabout-ism to shift focus onto JD's failings (which, in her opinion, seem to be that he leaves when things start getting to a toxic boiling point in their fights). At least once he literally says he leaves so they don't hurt each other, and her response is to invalidate that and imply he's weak for leaving.
