(Anonymous) 2022-08-19 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)For the record, before this, I actually didn't like Amber at all (I had no idea that she was being abused and didn't like the way her and JD reacted to Australia wanting their dogs to be quarantined). I work with abuse victims and knew from the beginning that Amber is unfortunately the victim (the concept of mutual abuse is false. DV is about power and control. There will always be a person who has the power who needs to control another. JD has proven that he was always the one with the power and control in the relationship. Also, there is no such things as a "perfect" victim. Amber has never denied that she is perfect).
However, though I believed in Amber, and continue to believe abuse victims, both male and female, be it DV or sexual abuse. There was always one exception. Michael Jackson. I was the biggest fan growing up. I did exactly what you're doing, when it comes to JD. I feel ashamed of my actions now. I blamed the victims. they're lying. How dare they? I watched videos taking apart their actions (as you're doing) to further convince myself that I'm right.
Like you, I didn't want to believe that the celebrity I like could be a monster (I used to be a fan of JD, who wasn't? He was the "cool guy"). That's painful, that sucks. Furthermore, that's a horrible feeling to come to.
But OP, unfortunately, that's the truth. It's shameful to come to the conclusion. But, to protect DV victims (including Amber) and all survivors of abuse, we need to start believing them. Otherwise, Me Too are just two words.

(Anonymous) 2022-08-20 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)If you're wondering why other DV survivors hate her, just watch her lie on the stand, get caught out with straight out facts, and then try to play it off with more lies. It was just...surreal. Like watching a pouty little kid pretend they hadn't broken the window with the baseball lying there on the living room floor.

(Anonymous) 2022-08-20 02:51 am (UTC)(link)Funny you say that, because literally every single abuse victim I know IRL said she was unquestionably the abuser and were super uncomfortable with how the media was trying to paint her as a victim.
