I think they were both victimized, but I think the circumstances make it easier to empathize with Lively, who was abused in a professional setting, so it really is a MeToo case rather than a case of two people in a destructive relationship that may or may not have begun with a power imbalance on set.

How was Heard victimized? Yes, there was overwhelmingly negative press. But she lost in court. And the evidence, even what the public was let to see, was fairly overwhelming that while there was some back and forth, she was clearly the main abuser.

And I say this as someone who generally believes women and at first believed Heard. And thinks Depp is a dick who was abusive to Winona Rider.

I guess it comes down to whether you believe there can be two victims and two abusers in a case of domestic abuse. Anyway, my takeaway from the trial was that was the case.

She won most of her cases. The one she "lost" he also lost, just not as much. He didn't "win" in any of the cases.

She won the case in the UK. That case ruled that he had assaulted Heard in 12 of the 14 incidents he was accused of. Much of the evidence from that case wasn't allowed in the US trial. I suggest reading up on it.

I think she engaged in reactive abuse but I don't think it was clear that she was the main abuser at all.

She abused a former partner as well, it's totally on brand for her to be an abuser.
