To clarify: There are at least 3 instances where it had been proven that Amber hit Johnny.
1. At the top of the stairs she punched him in the face.
2. Audio recording where she admits to hitting him not “punching”him.
3. Audio recording Amber admitting
When he was locked in the bathroom, she kicked the door into his head, then punched him in jaw.
Also AH claimed JD of SA in her op Ed. Of which there is zero proof. And allegations are convoluted , ever changing, and without merit.
This is the worst kind defamatory allegation of all of her false claims.
Because it was allegations of a brutal sexual assault and crime.
This being untrue is the epitome of DEFAMATION and she most certainly should be held accountable for this!
Yes, that fake bottle rape was a game-changer for me. It was so far out there, and so unbelievable. That one is going to make her lose the case.
Yeah I think the doc is a little biased toward amber when he said that JD shouldn't win
@@LaLaLonna I don't know why exactly that Dr. G. would think that Johnny shouldn't win ?
Her physical/sexual allegations suspiciously lack objective physical evidence and corroborating witnesses.
Those two allegations now end careers in Hollywood, not drugs and alcohol. So Depp should also easily be able to prove that Heard's defamation cost him lucrative future roles.
Also, this is CIVIL court. The burden of proof is the much lower "preponderance of the evidence", not beyond a reasonable doubt.
That could be as little as a mere 51% certainty in jurors minds.
@@MauiMauiMe
Was that the one that had the supposedly bloody pillow...Which she didn't bother to take a pic of?
If he would have done that to AH with a broken bottle, she would have had to see a doctor, but alas, no doctor!
It's crazy how many of his and Amber's friends and family were mooching off of him You'd think an abusive person wouldn't want a bunch of freeloaders hanging around and being witnesses to his beatings.
*mooching off of him.
But I totally agree 👍
@@SodaiGoku I corrected that! Thanks 👍🙂
Correct!
Typically they slowly but methodically deprive/guilt their victims from spending time with their own family, group of friends, job, any hobbies/interests, etc. - anything to isolate their victim from loved, caring ones (their support system) and then they feel free to really begin breaking them down in every manner possible.
Bless all true victims
Yes, and it's absolutely contradictory to the psychology of abusers that keep their victims isolated - controlling, monitoring or preventing phone calls, let alone having close family live with them. At his expense. Absolutely ridiculous and shows not only did JD not abuse her, it's unlikely she's ever veen abused or she would understand this basic aspect of IPV
Actually sometimes that does happen bc I've seen it happen, some people are manipulative control freaks and they don't mind having a group of people to control but that doesn't appear to be so in this case. Lucky Johnny has all those security as kind of outside witnesses and the police visits.
Listening to the way she taunted and abused Johnny Depp with cackling sniggering laughter, cursing, she is the abuser.
yeah I think we will see that recording was the final nail in the coffin for Amber. She sounded manic, histrionic and cruel.
It really changed my opinion of her. She really pulls off the victim role well.
@@randallfowler9348 Absolutely agree
@@starrshine369thequantumshaman maybe it’s because I grew up with highly narcissistic parents who manipulated and abused me- but I saw right through amber from the very start!
@@Mckinley-mick yeah I had no idea she was so crazy! Holy cow!!!
This is an excellent analysis. I agree with almost all of it. However, the one thing that struck me is that Depp had testified at length about the origins of his substance abuse and his struggles with it. Heard repeatedly used his substance abuse as a weapon against him in this trial. In my opinion, she overdid it to the point that even in her testimony she comes off as an abuser with a martyr complex. It was deeply cruel. I actually am related to a couple of women like this...very very skillful at pushing buttons and then assuming the martyr position. The fact that she had no real reason to stay with him (financial or because of children), her act doesn't ring true. She stayed because she liked Depp's money and her raised stature from being Depp's wife and not just a D level actress. Depp deserves a medal for exposing how men can be victims of domestic violence. I hope to never hear Amber Heard's name again. What a horrible ,horrible person. (And, BTW, the cut off finger happened exactly the way Depp described it...I'd bet my 401K on it).
Any wife would be mad if their husband used drugs all the time.
@@jaymike3302 I see you everywhere spamming the same thing... Maybe not Amber Heard Fan Club but a certified bot?
@@ha231 Everyone else who comments is a big Depp fan. Delusional fans who love him. Plus he has a big PR team who post a lot.
@@jaymike3302 I'm not a fan of his. I just don't like DV. Imagine it's the same for most people. We support victims. I think it's funny you think a handful of PR people are responsible for millions of people watching the case live and leaving millions of comments in support... lol
@@jaymike3302 She can be mad all she wants if she thinks he has an addiction. The point is that she did not have to stay in the marriage. Sticking around, constantly recording him and photographing him on the sneak, trying to taunt and provoke him, telling boldfaced lies is a little too conniving for most of us.
I know the body language stuff isn’t an exact science, but just from my own experience working with victims it is strange to me how when she talks about evading or being hit, she mimics the one hitting. Just in my own experience, I’ve always witnessed aggressors using those motions, while a victim usually mimics their own evasion and/or will lean back as though reliving the strike as it hit them. It might mean something, it might mean nothing… I just want this to be over soon because of the impact I’m afraid of it having on peoples perceptions of abuse, abusers, and victims. The implications are terrifying.
Agree! They will reach for the place they expeierenced pain on their body - excellent points.
That’s interesting. Good point
I’ve also seen her gestures match that of a 3rd person pov, almost like she’s describing a movie scene she wasn’t a part of
I agree! I know when I’m talking about my mom hitting my sisters and I as kids, I always “duck”, or flinch when describing things that used to happen..
That's right. Her demeanor is not on her side.
I hope Dr Grande has educated himself on the timelines. That Johnny didn't bother her after 2016. Not even when she started doing MeToo speaking engagements and even an interview on Dutch TV. Once she graduated to writing an op-ed he had no choice but sue because it was clear she would never stop
Yep and that is extremely important to know!! She’s getting hit by karma so bad with all her lies, disgusting behavior, etc in every aspect of her life and she can only blame herself!! She ruined her career, has to be one the most hated women in the world especially now for many reasons, is facing jail for smuggling her dogs into Australia and lying, perjuring herself multiple times during this trial, has lost every friend she has except for that Eve dumbass, etc!! There are few people I truly hope live a life of misery and she is one of them for all the hurt/damage she has caused and done to so, so many people….like real dv survivors as myself that she’s made a mockery of!!
Yup. Ppl want to be so fair and balanced and place equal blame to both sides. but in this instance it’s not.
That's to my understanding, true.
Also Depp did a interview where he said that he isn't an abuser. That's when AH legal team wrote a letter to JD legal team, saying something like "take it back or we will sue for defamation"
@@m.t.4648 they actually tried suing but weren't successful
A small clarification: Johnny's case also rests on the fact that the online article's title specifies sexual violence, not just broad abuse, so, he still has a good case for defamation
No he doesn't 🤣 his case got thrown out the window by many witnesses now.
@@vasudhabhandari8431 ... I don't think we saw the same trial then
@@vasudhabhandari8431 ??
@@vasudhabhandari8431 what witnesses confirmed he SA her? Most said AH never told them about the alleged assaults until weeks before their deposition lol
@@howareyou857 who said that ?? Ooooh you silly remoras are killing me
I get the impression that JD is not trying to "win" anything, that he is more interested in showing, what actually happened in the relationship.
💜
He still loves her.
@@nafisaadam6577 Maybe, but the idea is nauseating.
Humans have such a tendency to become infatuated with someone's appearance.
What is there to love about Amber Heard? Her moral, upstanding character? I don't think so!
@@nafisaadam6577 If there are any feelings there on his part, my guess is limerence.
same! he already said it's not about money
It's about exposing the truth for him I think rather than allowing AH to continue defaming him.
I think her op ed was defamation though, especially if he was the main victim.
When someone is in a tumultuous relationship with a partner who initiates arguments, no matter how emotionally stable they are, there is a high probability that they too will be viewed as an abuser just by participation. Abusers love to take advantage of that. "who will believe you? Tell them, i was a victim too"
It's just disgusting to listen to such tauntings threats and gaslighting
You are so very right. I always say that you can not walk into a pig pen without getting your shoes dirty. ❤
Exactly. No problems with Vanessa and they were together 14 years!
And she’s right- if we hadn’t heard it on it tape, most of us wouldn’t believe him. As is, there’s still a huge percentage that think he must have done something to get beat up that much. It just had to have been both directions, right? That’s what I keep hearing- victim blaming to the extreme. If we had a woman missing body parts and with evidence to show he did it, we wouldn’t assume it was a give and take, would we?
Amber was right, people will blame a man if he gets abused. If he defends himself, he’s a co-abuser (Johnny didn’t).

@@lf9341 agreed even though that relationship ended.. it lasted 11 years or more and they are both friends with no adverse claims against each other. So when Dr G claims in his vid that both did not have the tools to foster a good relationship (?) JD's longevity with Vanessa as well as other women in his relationship history says otherwise
Amber had the 7 million for 13 months before Johnny sued her- that's an important point, because Johnny suing her cannot be the excuse. She chose to keep the money for herself.
She was so evasive about why she held the divorce settlement for 13 months, but was only too ready to blame the suit agst her.
This is something I don’t understand. She could have said “no, I didn’t donate it all, but I did donate some, and I will donate the rest after this trial when we win.” That would end that line of questioning. But she pushed this pledge v donation thing that just made her look awful.
I’m curious. Why does Amber have to donate her divorce settlement? Isn’t she entitled to keep the money? This is the first time I hear that the woman has to donate her divorce settlement. Did Johnny require her to donate the money or was it her idea?
@@leonorrivera6379 she announced she was going to donate settlement to make it look like she wasn’t in the relationship for $$$ thereby covering up the truth that she blackmailed him & falsely accused him of physical/sexual violence
@@leonorrivera6379 she wanted "to look" certain way...liked the image only and she loosed it.Ppl want to look generous and not after money, she lost that one.
“I think the teacup Yorkie has a better defamation case…” Dr. Grande is great! Love your straight face,hidden humor… 😂 👏🏻 Love your channel.
weird how she has so much money yet didnt't house train her dogs, hire someone to house train her dogs, or hire someone to exercise them outside so they could poo outside. The place was covered in pee/poo. It also shows her extreme disrespect for the cleaners and maids. She is truly awful, is a crap dog owner, and now has a KID . can you even imagine how her poor kid will turn out?
Was gonna comment this too.
As someone with BPD, It's scary how much of Amber's behavior I can understand and even did myself before therapy helped me managed everything... I'm fairly convinced she was the main aggressor if not the only one.
I feel the same way, except for her actual physically aggressive behavior towards a person
Can you explain more from the perspective of someone with BPD? Like what are the feelings someone w/BPD might be having when engaging in that kind of behavior?
Bravo to you for recognizing what was challenging you and owning it. That takes courage and humbleness. I too had personality challenges (BPD, narcissism, just plain immaturity, lack of Faith, etc)and sought therapy and I can understand too Amber's behavior and understand it. I don't condone it but very much understand it.
"Pledge means the same thing as donate."
I enter Webster's Dictionary into evidence, your honor.
That was beautiful
🤣🤣🤣
Yes, I made several pledges to realtors last year that I would buy some houses. Funny, I am still waiting for them to send me the keys.
I pledged 20 gallons of blood yesterday, and I didn't even feel woozy.
@@Catherinzsl I just got a $10 amazon gift card from Red Cross for donating blood, but for some reason they didn't send me the card until AFTER they actually had my blood. Apparently some people pledge and do not follow through. Who knew?
One thing I haven't heard anyone mention is that on the audio where Johnny said "Don't tell me what it's like to be punched!", if Amber was being continually punched by HIM, surely she would have replied mentioning she of, course, knows exactly what it is like to be punched - by him! Instead she says something to the effect that, yeah, Johnny knows what it feels like having been in many fights, etc. Her response belies her apparent abuse. Probably because she is the abuser.
Great point ☝️
Dr. Grande: "I don't believe that Johnny ever physically struck Amber -- at least not offensively. But, I do believe that what Amber experienced could be classified as domestic violence." [14:55]
Come again. Perhaps the definition of DV has become too liberalized. What's next? Are we going to criminalize all lovers' quarrels?
The fact Heard tried to pass off the "two" photos being in different light when they were EXACTLY the same photo, one with the saturation increased says all I need to know about this case. Several people online have taken the normal looking photo and brought it into photoshop, increased the saturation, and made it look exactly like it. Then they overlaid it over the other with the opacity turned down and it lines up damn near pixel for pixel.
Is there a link you can share?
@@The_Kirk_Lazarus You don't have to mess with Photoshop to know those are the same picture. Not only is her face in the EXACT same pose, but every individual strand of hair is in the exact same place. It's utterly impossible for to have taken the exact same picture twice.
@@rars0n Did you think my comment meant I believed Ms. Turd's testimony?
The point that no one is addressing is her saying something along the lines “i knew when johnny the monster is coming and will start abusing me” and “I could tell when it’s gonna happen because he went and took drugs”. So, if she knew when it was going to happen, why not set up a camera to record it? Or at least audio record it since she had a habit of recording “everything”.
This is a great point.
Or how about pack your things and get the "eff" out if there? Women who say things like that are usually "trapped" due to finances, children or location.
@@audreylin3466 yeah but in Ambers situation she wasn't this broke nowheres to go person.She has money and had options.
Yeah but she had MORE money if she stayed with him and EVEN MORE money and celebrity buzz if she said he abused her.
Or why not simply check in to a hotel or a friends house? Avoid the whole situation. That's what i think a person living with real fear of abuse would have done. Surely she must have had at least ONE friend who wasn't freeloading in Johnnys penthouses?
Let's hope Mr. Depp can pick up his career and continue acting once this trial is over. Someone's career shouldn't be destroyed by mere hearsay and the court of public opinion. And yes, I'm also talking to you Disney.
It will be interesting to see if this watershed case that’s brought both cluster b abuse and male domestic abuse into the public spotlight overshadows his body of work in the long run.
Disney has washed their hands of him. He was already a little difficult to work with due to his substance abuse. They're going in another direction with Margot Robbies' character.
I think you need to take a look at the role Rolling Stone magazine played in this as well , career wise...he got some very bad press from them.
@@thelionsleepstonight275 He said it himself that he will never work for Disney again, so him returning as Jack Sparrow is quite unlikely. I hope he gets some other high level role. As for Margot Robbie, even though she's a great actress, I feel like it is a bad move for Disney since we all know fans of the franchise will not accept anyone other than Johnny.
I've heard the opinion that neither of them will work in Hollywood again because they'll be so strongly associated with this case and the sordid details. It will be interesting to see...
The problem with the drug use argument is, that absolutely every single witness (besides her and her so called (ex) "friends") testified that Johnny didn't change when he was on drugs.
Usually our views on things are pretty well aligned. For the most part, I agree with your assessment here except for one thing. If we assume that the objective evidence doesn’t support Amber’s story then we must conclude that she IS a devil. Falsely accusing someone of violent acts, rape, etc is nearly on the level of evil as committing those acts. It hinders the accused’s life and puts them in a situation where they could even potentially pay with their life (in prison or even suicide). It also discounts real victims of violence and SA. To me she comes across as conniving, manipulative, ego-centric, fake, cold-hearted, violent, and exploitative.
Dr. just stop saying that JD did that to his finger i do not believe dr. anymore they lie and always beggin for money Ben Franklin said GOD heals but dr's want your money there has not been a dr. that heals not even the mental people ever but THE CREATOR WILL GOD SPEED GOD GIVETH GOD TAKETH C/S
Vindictive and calculating too.
The recording of Amber fake-laughing and mocking Johnny tells me everything I need to know. As someone who has been diagnosed with BPD, it's clear to see that she is in a manic phase during that recording, and she seems to be genuinely enjoying spewing venom at Johnny. (Been there, done that.)
I didn’t know borderline has a manic phase , she was diagnosed with that and histrionic. All the uppers and downers could make one manic or dud you mean bipolar when you said bpd? Some say she is but it I don’t know if she has bipolar diagnoses the Dr Currie diagnoses seems to fit, though
@@astridjaye6224 by BPD I meant borderline personality disorder. I'm not exactly certain that "manic episode" is the proper term for the manic behavior that BPD patients experience during their sudden and extreme swings in mood to be honest. It was just the phrase that came to mind that I believe mostly describes that type if behavior, but there may be a better term for that heightened agitated mental state. I do know that whereas bipolar disorder mood swings in one direction or the other usually last weeks to months before they swing in the other direction, whereas those severe swings can happen in those with borderline or histrionic within a matter of minutes, and those extremes can flip flop several times throughout the course of a single day.
Also, I'd like to say that I have been in DBT (a specialized type of therapy that was originally designed to manage borderline symptoms) for over 4 years now, and I'm happy and proud to report that I have not had a single outburst of mania or heightened emotional dysregulation since I started DBT.
For those interested, I have a pdf file of The Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Workbook that I'd be happy to email you. Just let me know and I'll send it to whomsoever would like it.
@@ItsJustJessOkay my ex had BPD and his psychiatrist and psychologist called it mania.
@@ItsJustJessOkay that workbook is awesome!
She's heinous. Crazy even. Put her away some where quiet.
Great analysis. Fair and balanced. Intrigued by the idea that her personality disorder may cause her to perceive Johnny’s ‘retreating’ or ‘running away’ as abandonment which in her mind justifies her domestic violence accusations. Brilliant.
I have bpd. When my husband and I used to argue bad, he would leave and I felt like he wasn't going to come back. Or if we didn't sit down and work it out, he would come back and pack his things. It's hard in the moment and it hurts, but I've never once hit anyone I love. I do beg him not to walk out and just stay and talk but I learned it's best for us both to take a few hours and calm down.
With cluster b as he mentioned before the fear of abandonment or rejection, triggers them, n substance use added with already misconstrued logic etc it’s def clear that, him leaving would cause her to be set off
@@BatteredRose That must be so hard for you ❤
classic borderline
I might believe that, if it weren’t for her actually making up all of the physical violence that she said he was guilty of. Perceiving his actions to be abandoning her, she was fearful and thought he would leave, she was the one who was violent. I think she knows that her fear was abandonment, but it’s no excuse for her behavior.
I'm not sure I entirely agree with Dr. Grande's assessment of Johnny Depp being grandiose. I remember seeing the opposite from the first day of his testimony , this with little bias given it being day one and not really being in tune with the fact that there would be a trial to begin with. I wasn't even aware of all the drama and ups and downs leading up to this trial.
Honestly, while it may seem that there's no win on either side, legally many attorneys would actually disagree with the assessment that Johnny won't prove defamation.
I found quite interesting in what ways Dr. Grande was critical of Depp. Though I will say that while not an angel by any stretch, I wouldn't say Depp 'needs to grow up' a lot of his upbringing had a lot of trauma. When asked why he stayed in the relationship as long as he did, he said he stayed because he saw his father walk out on an albeit abusive wife. But that he somehow felt he could help Amber. I feel like that statement was so telling. When he said it, I really had a moment and its stuck with me because I've seen it with my own mother. My father was immensely abusive emotionally/psychologically to both her and I. It took her 25 years to walk away. My mom also lived thru DV growing up.
Depp was clearly troubled through substance use, but having seen a lot of the dysfunction of it in my own upbringing as well as having family with personality disorders and having to live with them as he did with Amber; I really do give Depp grace here. He wasn't recurring to drugs merely out of entitlement, he sought them to numb. This is even found when he was younger before becoming famous. I just feel off about putting him in the same grandiose and grow up outfit... much more of a wounded soul rather than entitlement. This even comes through in instances where he's under the influence.
Agree with you that Johnny was not grandiose. Everyone who has ever interacted with him talks about what a kind, sweet person he is. Amber's personal assistant testified about how Johnny would interact with her son, bring him gifts, etc. I think he has substance abuse issues for sure, but he would never achieve sobriety in this chaos around that wacko. In fact, I think she WANTED him on drugs as a means of controlling him. "Yeah I hit you BUT you're a junkie!" Able to argue that her issues are cancelled out by his issues...
He is an actor... Anybody with half a brain would put on a good face in court to get what they want. But I do wonder if he is a people pleaser more than anything. This would make sense for their union and why everybody loves him and why he is miserable.
I've watched way more of this trial than I'd care to admit. This is hands-down the most lucent, nuanced, and condensed assessment of the Depp/Heard trial that I have come across. Thank you! Dog joke was really good, too.
Yes indeed. The trial is a relapse
I just binge watched all of the full court days. It’s been wild.
Thanks for clearing up the whole “drug cycle” isn’t a motorcycle made of drugs thing. Always keeping it real, Dr. G 🌵
The "drug cycle" was so funny, especially since her sister showed him how to use cocaine with a tampon device. She is such an obnoxious person. Since the beginning it has only been revenge from her
@@archiebunkers7881 it’s all good when Amber and friends drink and do drugs, but once Johnny has a “mega pint” all hell breaks loose. It’s ok for everyone else to be “rarely sober.” Why would you want to be rarely sober around someone you describe as a monster? 🤔 I have questions.
Goes slow or fast depending on what you use
I nearly spewed coffee all over my test lab computers at work.
Yes, what a weird explanation. On the one record she wanted to hold him back from visiting his daughter and give that as a reason for her behaviour we heard. Did his daughter turn him into Mr. Hyde with drugs? This is crazy... 🙄😄
In addition to her evidence just not adding up to even 10% of the impossibly gory violence she describes, and the admissions of violence by her, the one audio recording in which she is like a movie villain; laughing mockingly, taunting him, asking him if he’s gonna put this in his book etc. for me sealed the deal on an impression that she is a deeply disturbed and sociopathic, sadistic person. No real victim of domestic abuse so fearlessly humiliates the person who brutalizes them.
I mean who takes pictures of somebody allegedly passed out,whats the point,not like he is beating her at that moment.She did it to create a narrarive of victim.
Yes, exactly my thoughts! She also called him a fcking piece of sh!t over and over. I’m pretty sure if he was violent, he would have hauled off and slugged her at that point. Also the fact that she claims to be so horrifically and violently assaulted in every way, yet she only took pictures of writing on a mirror?!? What?? If someone did that to me, I’d be taking pictures, I’d be calling 911 and getting medical attention immediately. She said she didn’t NEED IT, but later says he almost killed her or tried to.
I find her to be a disgusting and despicable excuse for a human being, to lie like that, to accuse someone of doing what SHE did, to tell the media like she did with TMZ, to paint herself as this victim who was the voice of those who were abused, to say she wanted nothing and was donating all the money to charity when she kept it all for herself. People don’t just hate her for what she did to Johnny, they hate her for all of that. How anyone could support or understand her at all is beyond me. She needs MAJOR psychiatric help.
Well said. That recording was chilling. No wonder Johnny wanted to get away during her tirades.
I wish I could find the longer version if that Again where she disses him
For 21 jump street. she has a poster of him on her wall as a teen. She’s a jealous and yes almost sociopath or maybe even so:(
@@cuppycakey5013 She will prob never v help unless forced and might even be fake then to get out of it:(
If anyone is curious about the alleged broken bed, there’s a video that went viral from a channel called Law & Lumber. He described the wood around the bed and investigated the best he could just on his own knowledge and expertise
Yes I viewed that. Brilliant! Plus look at the pic of the bed …. looks like a Swiss Army knife is on the bed !
Yep, I noticed that too. A lot of her team’s evidence can be disputed or it’s all contradictory
Johnny’s worst mistake was to believe that Amber loved him and to keep giving her chances when she came groveling to him.
I think Amber actually wanted JD struggling with addiction so she could gain status in his life as his savior. But she took pleasure in triggering him to want to escape reality.
Amber behaves like those people suffering from Münchausen Syndrome where a caretaker (often a parent, more often manifested in females than males) secretly poisons their children to feel important in society and draw pity from society. Many times they take up donations and make money too.
I think you’ve nailed it-she did want him using drugs and alcohol. That made her more powerful. She seems to have been genuinely shocked when he finally left her. I believe she thought she emotionally beaten him into submission.
I agree that she wanted him to be addicted. Not only did it make him vulnerable but I know a mom who abused her children and when one of them as an adult finally confronted her about the abuse told everyone he was on drugs. He wasn’t but she did that to discredit everything he said. People like Amber are not stupid. They do what they can to not be held accountable.
in one of the recordings she made fun of his "sober self" and said it was a lie. Real sick individual for sure, are all these recordings from her? interesting she recorded herself behaving so disordered.
Spot on!
That Munchoson thing sounds so scary. I am glad my borderlinopath abusive mom didn’t seem to know of such a strategy on us kids. She might if she did know. Mind you our borderline mom can seem very kind and caring for us at times. That’s what have confused me for many many years until I discovered the borderline and narcissist personality knowledge and binge watching and reading about it.
"The teacup Yorkie has a better defamation case than either Johnny or Amber" - that made my day! Thank you for your astute, and dry, analysis as always.
I don't think so. Amber Heard's team would establish that: Boo is JD's Yorkie, and can not be trusted as he is one of his yea-sayers, Boo can't remember because he is not only incontinent, but also still high from JD's weed he ate as a puppy; Boo had several tacos the night before (Josh cooked Mexican) and obviously diarrhea.
@@juliarman Oh yes, how silly of me! That Boo, such a stoner. What a waste of all that celebrity canine potential. It's tragic, really.

(⌐■-■)
“A motorcycle made of drugs”. Lol. One thing that’s bothered me- AH does drugs and drinks with him. Her texting him “hey babe can you bring up something to drink and a joint. Xx” You don’t say that to a man who gets drugged up and beats you with his rings on. If you see him drinking, you stay out of his way. Also- her lying on the stand about the donations was a HUGE lie. Nothing she says can be believed. She also said- I NEVER hurt him. She’ll tell you that you didn’t just hear and see what you just heard and saw.
Her drugging and drinking bothered me, too. It was stunning to hear that her father and a friend went to buy Johnny drugs so he wouldn’t go into withdrawal. I didn’t grow up with a father but I doubt that that is a normal reaction.
She can’t help gaslighting even the whole court
I’m just gonna say this… if any of you ever been in an abuse relationship with a woman! Amber Heard is one.. the things she says, the way she acts and the specific wording!! It’s insane how identical her behavior is to someone I used to know. Mine was a nightmare, I feel bad for Johnny
I agree. It can be anyone. Mother, partner, sibling ... it's a shame it is creating division between men and women. The frustration of not being believed or understood is the same in every circumstance because the perpetrator is so adept at manipulation and they 'pick' their victim. Been there as well.
“It is not a motorcycle made of drugs” Dr Grande’s straight-faced humour is my favourite 😂
Does Amber realize this is a courtroom, not a film audition?
She is not winning anyone over to her side.
Worst actress ever. For real!
Hopefully not. I truly hope the jury does not buy it.
Actually to be fair she wouldn't convince anybody at a movie audition aswell...
On Hulu , my husband came across a movie with her in it from 2019. It seems like she has a small role in it, being around a female Rockstar, and from the trailer, it is all about drug use and physical encounters, with the main actresses abusing drugs and has bruises all over her face. We decided not to watch the movie because of her, but at the same time makes you wonder if she took some personal notes from that movie.
Well , she hope for a big payout for her prefourment 🤣
There is an audio from the finger/vodka bottle incident where Heard fully acknowledges what she did and how sorry she was. The reason it can't be used in this case is because one of the people who can be heard in the video, has sadly passed away. She definitely did it.
correct. based on other evidence including that recording amber did not plan or intend to sever Johnny's finger, however amber did intentionnaly throw a bottle at johnny and she did intend for it to hit him. the first bottle missed him but the second bottle she threw crashed on the bar and a piece of it sliced tip of johnny's finger off. later when staff arrived at their residence including nurse and dr. kepper, amber for once actually faced a reality: the bottle she threw spliced johnny's finger and she was solely responsible for that. her reaction to this realization is what we hear on the recording. I believe it was amber not johnny who nearly had a nervous breakdown during this time, despitr johnny's testimony. I believe amber's audible heaving sobs and crying were in part because she did feel some guilt about hurting johnny but more importantly, she realized that with all those people present, including medical staff, her collection of recordings, pics, emails, etc. that she'd planned to use against johnny to siphon money from him for DV, was now in the toilet. Now she, Amber, could also be accused of DV.
Yes, I too have heard that tape. She is hysterical worried that Johnny will end the relationship because SHE cut off his finger. she admits throwing the bottle but says it was an accident.
@@paulajohnson1537 Deliberately throwing a bottle at someone is no accident.
What kind of an amazing arm does she have to cut a finger by throwing a bottle 🤣 Johnny loony Stans are batshit crazy and too dim
@@user-ct1po9zd5m I think she never intended to hurt him hence the term accident but you are right. I think she lost her shit and should be held responsible but didn’t actually think she want hurt him so severely.
The trial has been emotional and brought up some really bad memories for me of when my wife would verbally and physically abuse me. Being an abuse man especially by a narcissist is a horrible helpless feeling my wife would act like she was so nice and sweet in front of other people but when we were alone she was constantly putting me down telling me pretty much everything I did was wrong and what a horrible person I was and if I wouldn’t engage in the argument she would resort to physical violence. After several years of her abuse I finally told her the next time she hit me I was going to call the police on her the next time she hit me I did call the police I believe it was three or four times I have had to call the police on her, I would just simply ask the police if they would be able to calm her down and prevent any physical violence I never told the police she was hitting me just that she had been out of control. It was horrible it was confusing she would convince me that I somehow did something wrong and that she was reacting to whatever mistake I made and that I was somehow instigating her anger. It took years of me trying to make her happy before I realized it wasn’t me people ask why do you stay with someone like that I could only say unless you have been in our situation you won’t understand it comes on slowly and when they are apologizing for their behavior and promising it will never happen again you want to believe them and then they could be extremely nice to you which creates additional confusion. The other thing is I came from a very very abusive childhood where I was constantly told what a terrible piece of shit I was by my father and my older brother so when my wife was telling me the same things they told me I had to be sure it wasn’t me. She would be so abusive and then cry and look so sad that I would feel bad for her and that would make me think I must’ve done something wrong. Just like Johnny our children are a lot smarter than I am they asked me many many times why are you so nice to mom when she’s so mean to you I got to the point when I went shopping for Christmas Mother’s Day or birthdays they would go with me and not allow me to buy her anything too nice or too expensive because she didn’t deserve it. I had tried to make her happy for so long and I was also afraid to make her mad, in the end when my girls got older they sat me down and told me it was time to have their mom move out and find someone that what does it mean to me and know what it’s like to be loved not being abused and being surrounded by people that are nice to you and love you is a wonderful wonderful thing. No one deserves to be verbally or physically abused we all deserve to be treated with respect kindness and love especially from our spouses.
I hope you find someone better, and I’m glad you have your girls. I hope you are still close with them, daughters need a good father and I’ve learned that later on in life it’s a great benefit for an older unmarried man to have a devoted daughter(s) as well.
That was the most profound analysis you have ever done. I think your probably the best there is to what you do.
"the teacup yorkie has a better defamation case than either Johnny or Amber." 15:35
I don't see how Amber could be considered a victim of domestic violence, except under the old maxim "You made me attack you regularly". I see no other scenario in which she could be a victim of domestic violence.
I agree. But apparently swearing and calling someone names is now domestic violence. What a joke.
Just consider that she has a strong case of personality disorder. I really do believe she does (go check Borderline PD symptoms). My point being : from *her* perspective, her psychological pain and distress caused by fear of abandonment is very real. So, she truly feels she was abused. And of course, being narcisistic, she just can't blame who she is for it. It's very telling that she never, ever takes responsibility for any of her actions, always shifting the blame, never admitting that she could be wrong. She'd rather delude herself than looking at her true self in the mirror. I pity her...
It's tough to understand unless you've been confronted to such personalities. I've been. To me a) she was sincere about being abused b) reality is they triggered and fed one another's issues c) the defamation is real, even if mutual abuse (the evidence we saw shows that J.D. violence was mostly turned towards himself, and when turned towards AH - cursing, breaking stuff - it was very mild in comparison).
I'm very scared of the message it would send to the world if J.D. loses the case. How f*inkg perfect a man is now supposed to be/behave to handle mean or ill willed women, just to save themselves. I mean... this is not the kind of empowerment I wish women to get from fighting the real issue that is domestic violence.
@@itsybitsy999 Oh wow, than I am a victim of domestic violence. I am called names here on YT. I also hear swear words on television.
itsybitsy999 it kind of is. What purpose does it serve to call your spouse… not internet rival… but your *spouse* a “washed up sell out”? When you are enduring a nonstop assault of this stuff plus gaslighting and physical abuse and beyond… you can ruin a person. It all adds up as one thing. It’s not just swearing. Swearing just happens to always be a part of it.
Dr Grande, you stated you think they “both lied” but I haven’t specifically identified a single lie from Mr Depp. Could you have please enlighten me on Mr Depp’s lies? As always, great insight! Thanks!
"The teacup Yorkie has a better defamation case than either Johnny or Amber" is comic, and legal, genius!
The biggest missed opportunity IMO has been the non-adoption of obvious legal puns like "Depp-position", "Heard-say", "Defecation Lawsuit", etc 🤷♂️
These are awesome and i hops the start trending.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂🤣👏👏👏
I can't stop laughing every time they call her "Miss Heard" as in " I'm sorry Miss Heard can you repeat that..... I may have misheard you when you said that you donated the money to charity......"
I keep visualizing her going to her checkbook and thinking :"No!" Maybe I'll write that check tomorroe!🤑🤒👎✍💰🚫❎
There is little room to argue Amber wasn't at fault for the finger incident because there is a video of medical professionals talking about the incident minutes/hours after where the story is already that Amber did it. She's screaming in the background like she's having a full on mental breakdown, the doctor even said to sedate her. So unless they both came up with this lie while she was in the middle of hysteria and his finger was severed with the tip nowhere to be found I think that is actually what happened.
And she was having a breakdown because she knew if Depp pressed charges, Australian officials would arrest her, they don't play over there, and you hear the doctor saying 'we'll cover what happened ' and Heard saying 'I'm sorry' ,but it would be rare for someone attacked with a bottle to be 'taping the whole thing' the women and her mostly sleazy bitter about losing a free parting witnesses are lying,
and for the makeup artist clearly close to Amber, to say a simple pink concealor and red lipstick would cover bruising and lip swelling is lying to,
the closest to credible witness was the acting coach, who was tilting to covering for her by saying 'Amber can't cry fake tears ',
@@barbaraobach I have attempted to cover a hurt lip with lipstick before. I will say I tried that exact shade of red she's wearing in the interview and it was too light to cover it, you could still see a darker mark underneath. I had to use a much darker shade. Not to mention she claimed it split when she spoke but she seemed to have no troubles speaking during the interview including when she opened her mouth as wide as possible for the thumbnail. Definitely doesn't really fit what she claimed her injuries were at the time.
I thought the friend seem reliable enough. The one who testified Johnny never got physical with Amber but when he was intoxicated got loud and mean sometimes. It felt biased but for the most part believable especially with the evidence we have seen already. Most of Amber's witnesses feel very biased to me though. The makeup artist particularly testified to something completely different than what a previous stylist had testified to. One of them *must* be lying unless Amber's bruises can magically appear and disappear.
I also find it incredibly interesting that in the recording the medical professionals seem to have no worry for Amber's physical condition considering at the time she alleges she had just been SA'd with a bottle. I would think something like that would have been extremely hard to hide from a doctor so soon after the alleged incident. I'd think she'd still have been bleeding at that point, or at the very least in severe physical pain.
They also upped her regular dose of Seroquel, an atypical antipsychotic medication used for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder esp. involving hallucinations, add the 2 bottles of wine a day (and that is double the effect it would be on a man), MDMA, mushrooms - taking hallucinogens with anti-hallucinogens? She was an addict herself, and her drug interactions alone would cast her story into doubt.
But I have watched everything without commentary as much as possible and I just can't believe her - those tapes just ring in my head. They're terrifying.
Her sister also confessed she herself was never sober, so why is her testimony more valid than that of Depp, who they try to claim may not remember the incidents or recall properly?
I wish them both good mental health and treatment but in this case, yeah I do think AH is the aggressor and I do think this is defamation. I have yet to see any proof he physically abused her. And I've really watched and listened. Her own witnesses never saw a thing, and Ellen Barkin admitted he never attacked her, was not fighting with her, the bottle wasn't aimed at and hit nobody and wasn't thrown but "tossed". And Rocky admits AH hit her? Her ex-PA describes workplace bullying and abuse and clearly without any excitement to be there, as well as calling Whitney her sister's punching bag? The crazy thing about this trial is how heavily the EVIDENCE supports one side. Tapes, photos, witnesses, what is presented, and what is absent - ie. the metadata that backs up any evidence AH has. She gave a lot of metadata about absolute garbage to the court liaison, but nothing pertaining to the photos used at trial - which therefore lack timestamps and have been clearly put through processing, where not likely staged entirely, going by the bodycam.
I definitely believe Amber did it but I don't think anyone else actually witnessed it. It's not clear to me they were sure what happened. But Amber's story sounds way less believable. Johnny was punching the wall so hard to smash off his own finger but when he was punching her during the same altercation he didn't leave a mark on her? Ohhhhkaaaay. But heck yeah I believe a flying vodka bottle could do it.
@@barbaraobach also, I heard a tape recording of her admitting to the bottle throwing and she was"sorry" for doing it.
Best analysis I’ve heard thus far complete with examples & real explanations. I didn’t know that leaving a BPD could be considered an act of violence for the dreaded BPD!
This is a brilliant and balanced analysis of the many moving parts of this trial. 💫It will make a useful case study also when it is finally over as well. Looking forward to your final analysis when it is completed🥇
It is pretty good though makes a few omissions, such as Amber not being sober in the relationship and her admitting to the finger severing.
One thing I noticed early on from Johnny was his description of Amber, saying that she was perfect. That she liked the same literature as he did, and the same kind of Blues music, among other things. I believe that Amber planned out everything. It would take a little detective work, but she could’ve found out most if not all of his likes and dislikes before she began her pursuit of Johnny. I find it almost impossible to believe that she liked the same literature and the same type of Blues music as him, especially given her age. What Johnny saw in her was himself so it’s no wonder he thought she was perfect.
She’s a calculating narcissist. She didn’t really want him, not for the long term anyway, she only wanted something from him.
Susan I think that is a good possibility.
There was more than a year between her getting the money from the divorce, and the lawsuit. So I don't think that she ever intended to actually pay the 7M to the charities. She has given false statements to at least 2 previous legal cases (the dog importation thing in Australia where she tried to get her ex-assistant to write a false confession, and the UK trial where she said that she had already paid the 7M).
She was trying to manipulate the public into believing she has a ❤️ while taking advantage of the media.....hiding her evil intent.
She never intended to give away “her” blood 🩸 money. Enter Elon.....new sugar daddy 💩
I agree. She's used the excuse that she was sued but there was a good enough time period before this trial where payments could have been remitted.
@@cuteflygon soooo you can’t agree to disagree? The other opinion is just flat out wrong?
She gave no payments at all toward the charities after receiving the final payment. Had she donated anything or fulfilled some sort of payment plan one could argue she intended to pay but that didn’t happen. At this point it’s just silly to think she intended to pay. Let’s remember no one asked her to donate the money. She volunteered it which was a lie.
Divorced in 2016
Sued in 2019
She had MORE time than that.
"drug cycle, which is not a motorcycle made of drugs"
Injecting that unexpectedly made me burst into laughter! 🤣😂🤣😂
Johnny has already won. He has gotten his reputation back in the public’s eye. If he wins the lawsuit, that will be a plus.
I actually do believe that Amber Heard is responsible for severing his finger. I badly injured my ring finger in my left hand in a high velocity accident (door handle smashing it against a pole/bar thing) and the damage is REMARKABLY similar. When he was telling that story I got chills. That is exactly how it happens, and the similarities are uncanny. I’m telling you, that story is true. My poor finger never recovered and it was traumatic. Also- multiple witnesses testified that she repeatedly threw things at him. What are the odds that he came up with that story and got the details exactly right? That is exactly the damage you sustain when somebody throws something hard at your finger and your finger is resting on a hard surface.
It’s also suspicious that she said he cut his finger off with a phone (how in the world, I don’t know) and then one of her witnesses said she told her that JD cut his own finger off with a broken bottle. Her stories are not consistent which lead me to believe Johnny’s account.
While Amber and Johnny were still in Australia, according to Whitney Heard’s ex-boss and friend (Jennifer Howell) who wrote this in a legal declaration, Whitney (Amber’s sister) told her (and several others present) that Amber “has cut off his f@#%ing finger”. (She preceded this by saying, “Oh my god she has done it now.”)
The Behavior Panel and every other behavior analyst endorses your conclusions but some seem to think he shielded her a bit ie. made it sound less deliberate that he was injured so badly
Right, many years ago I badly jammed my middle finger playing catch. It never got fixed and is quite crooked. If a ball can do that, a hurling bottle surely can cut a finger.
Just the fact that she claimed he cut off his own finger with a cellphone should make everyone question her. What a ridiculous story. The audio tapes which show her clearly feeling guilty for cutting off his finger is all I needed to hear.
I've had the opportunity to be able to watch this case but, I found out early on that it triggers me every time I try. It is easier to follow it by watching with the live chat so I don’t have to focus on it so much. As a survivor of DV I find myself sympathizing for Johnny, and triggered by Amber. When you've gone through it there is this "knowing" of who is the perpetrator and who is the victim. I believe Amber was a victim in her childhood, and as a result suffers from severe personality disorders. It's hard to sympathize with her because I see the abuser in her. I see alot of pain in Johnny, but, I see more of an inward suffering versus being outwardly abusive. And there is more than enough evidence to support what I see. I didn't hear that either of them are currently working with a therapist, which I believe both would benefit greatly. Johnny needs justice for what she did to him, his children, his career. And not only that but to show that men are just as worthy of justice for DV as women. I've been involved in DV support groups and where I live there is little to no groups specifically for men. That needs to change so that more men can come forward and seek the same support as women.

@@renee1961 😊 thanks! You stay strong too! We've got this! 💕
Yes! Was triggered by Amber's testimony as well. Couldn't even watch her testify by myself, it helped watching with others. On the other hand, felt very empathetic towards Johnny's testimony.
This may seem somewhat off subject but both of them were raised in abusive households. But not all children raised in that environment become abusers, but some do.
My husband had an alcoholic father. My husband hates alcohol, drugs, so forth, as he saw what alcohol did to their family. However, his older brother did drink to excess and did drugs. Same household, different outcome. I believe the same is true for abuse, and I guess you could call alcoholism abuse to an extent.
Just saying…..
Interesting. Her voice upset me so much , reminded of an abusive person who tortured my life and is now dead. Trigger, yes. Johnny never strikes that nerve . Shes lying
I have a theory, and it is that Johnny never intended to win in court. He intended to win back the public and expose Amber for who she really is. Hence why he and his lawyers are so jovial inside and outside court. He has already won, so the outcome of the trial is irrelevant. He’s having way too much fun to be invested in the outcome.
I agree, Johnny seems like the type of creative and emotional person that would do it this way
I hope he wins …. And gets awarded $7 million 😮 plus costs😮
i agree except for the part where he's having fun. laying his entire life out like this and having it picked apart seems like hell for this private man.
My bet is they will both lose their cases. The bar to prove malice is simply too high. But Johnny Depp may have known this. He may have put his bet in a public opinion win. Amber Heard is losing big in that regard. I know it may not be popular to say but I wish the verdict could be for her to seek treatment. It must be painful to be her.
No one is beyond help. However, according to Amber she has been seeing a therapist for a long time. If that is true, they would have worked on her substance abuse and behavioral health. Lastly, they would have sent her to a psychiatrist to get proper medication for her mental health disorder.
Personally, being in a similar DV relationship in my past - I do believe it has to feel worse to be Johnny. You question your own reality, your own thoughts, your being physically abused which leads you to want to escape with substances. She knew what she was doing the entire time and bet it all on “he’s a man, I’m a woman - I will be believed”
I'm inclined to agree. I think that's why he went forward anyway, he wanted his truth out to the public.
Even his truth is warped.
Especially as a psychologist with a Dr. degree.
Both of them. If he's not seeking treatment already.
Didn’t you hear? Amber had the money for 13 months before Johnny sued her…
Ya she’s a gold digger
She thought she'd get away with everything because she overestimated her acting ability. The arrogance and ego is unmatched. She is like Jodi Arias and Dahlia Dippolito.
@@PureSparkles22 she ain't messing with no broke......
@@gellideggti she ain't messing with no broke pirate
@@BatteredRose She reminds me of Casey Anthony and Jodi Arias
The thing that keeps coming up in my mind when I hear Amber’s testimony about being afraid of him is the recordings that she made of their fights. She is clearly taunting and belittling him- not a very wise move to poke the so called “monster.” She doesn’t seem to be afraid of him at all. Another thing that bugs me is the lack of medical records to back up her accusations of physical abuse. If she had doctors on the stand that treated her with X-rays, it would be difficult for Johnny to overcome something like this. But, unfortunately she never sought treatment after an altercation. This leads me to believe that the photos of the bruises could very well be created with makeup. It almost looks like her documentation of their marriage through photos and recordings we’re all part of a deliberate set up. We may never know the truth about all this, but one thing’s for certain, their relationship quickly went from wonderful to a steaming pile at warp speed.
GREAT comment here, I agree 💯% with everything you've said here! I liked the last line too, about the one thing we can certainly all know for sure with no doubts. Great summation here though! 👍✌️💖
Tim Elkins: & who gifts a so-called *monster* a huge knife as Amber did ......................
@@juliettebarker9443 your absolutely right, I completely forgot about that knife…
I think she was pushing him to hit her so she could get a ton of $ in the divorce. That's always why she pushed him to marriage (even though according to his psychologist he didnt really want to get married at 51) and then went nuts when he brought up a prenup. When the pushing and taunting him to physically hurt her didnt work she started manufacturing "evidence". I think she is a Gold digger and she wanted JD to advance her career early in their relationship and then pay her a lot of $ in the end.
I think he may have tried something similar with Elon but with a child. Imagine how much she could get him for support. She claimed he bugged the Tesla hr gave her. Well what if he was suspecting her of alt motives and that's why the car was bugged.
This is the post I was looking for! I agree with everything you said and couldn't have said it better!
The question is why every incidents happened were recorded as if someone is planning to use those recordings for certain purpose
Dr. Grande: “I think the teacup Yorkie has a better defamation case.”- I died 🤣🤣💀💀
I can't get over the fact that in several incidents where she claims violence, she was on a hallucinogenic substance, aka magic mushrooms. That can't just be glossed over. I don't believe her claims anyway, and I've been watching the trial from the beginning, went in with an open mind, but the use of hallucinogens made me even more skeptical.
I also actually do believe that she is directly responsible for his severed finger tip. The injury was a velocity based wound, and it shattered the tip of his finger which is visible from x-rays. Another reason I don't believe her version of events is we have two directly competing versions of this event from A) Amber herself and B) Her acting coach... who Amber told about the incident. Amber herself claims that Johnny injured his finger by repeatedly smashing a phone against the wall. Plausible? I guess, if not for the competing/contradicting testimony. Her acting coach on the other hand testified that Amber told her that Johnny did it by smashing a bottle on the counter-top and then messing with it after it had broken and cut himself. Again, not a plausible story since this was a velocity wound that broke bone. The cut and the break occurred at the same instant, and the thrown glass bottle which directly impacted his finger resting against a hard surface with no GIVE is the most plausible theory to ME.
On top of all of that, the aftermath of the argument in Australia was recorded, and you can hear what's transpiring as Ben King, Jerry Judge and others are surveying the damage. In that audio, Amber is heard clearly saying "I didn't do it on purpose" "I didn't mean to hurt him" and desperately pleading for her to be allowed to go with him to the hospital. "He needs me!" she repeats numerous times. That audio recording is wild to listen to, just like all the rest of the recorded audio. Frankly, the audio is the most compelling evidence presented in this trial because it directly shows the state of mind of both individuals DURING their relationship and arguments, not 6+ years later.
I went in with an open mind as well, and I honestly didn't even know much about this case, NOR am I a Depp fan, and I am thoroughly convinced that she is lying.
Also don’t her and her sister have young children where are they amongst this?
Well, dollars to donuts Amber’s kid is on Child Protective Services’ radar. Straight from the horse’s mouth: she gets so angry she loses it. Poor kid.
Sadly that audio in Australia you're talking about where Amber is essentially confessing to hurting him and is super emotional was never admitted into evidence, so the jury hasn't heard it. It is definitely the strongest objective evidence and the worst recording for her. I don't know if they can't use stuff with multiple people on the recording no matter what, or only can if every one of them testifies and verfies? And thus can they not use it since Jerry Judge is deceased? Whatever the reason is it REALLY sucks they won't hear it, it's the smoking gun that 1) she's abusive 2) he *isn't* and her insane story of him beating the crap out of her and the SA, simply couldn't have happened, not even close. If her story were true she'd have had to be sent to the ER immediately, way before him.
I really wish they could figure out a way to get the recording in! Sometimes the "rules of evidence" really piss me off, like- why can you not just let the jury have all the info?!
I also believe that injuring Johhny's finger was an attempt to take away a core part of his being, namely being a guitarist. She said when she tried to take guitar lessons she was 'unteachable'. Tell us something we don't know...
The dedicated Dr. burning the midnight oil. It’s a wonderful thing. 👍 I’m not sure Johnny Depp will win this case but Amber has all but destroyed her reputation and career. I also think she is seriously running the risk of being charged with perjury which could land her in jail.
Perjury is punishable in civil cases, however it’s incredibly unusual for it to actually happen.
The perjury testimony yesterday was truly baffling, I don't know why Amber's team in their right mind would introduce that into evidence. Here is a nice polite honest seeming lawyer telling the jury that he believed your client was guilty of perjury and he was so sure of this that he took a binder full of evidence to the LAPD. I know it's for the counterclaim but that suit on its face is so bad that they should just ignore that issue and focus on just not losing. Having 'super lawyer' testify that it absolutely couldn't be defamation because "I'm a smart smart and I made extra sure that she couldn't be sued over it" probably just pissed the jury off even more as it's this guy's fault that they are there, it shows that Amber knew what she was getting into by writing the article in this way, and that there is a whole cabal of people who prop up Amber as something she isn't, even writing her op-eds for her.
Super lawyer is an idiot. The correct advice, legal or otherwise was “don’t publish this article, it’s bad for literally everyone including you”.
I mean forget for a second whether it’s true or false, defamatory or not; publishing it was objectively a really, really bad move.
Nobody is going to jail. The attorneys on both sides are going to the bank every day they stretch this nonsense that’s what the hell is going on. Amber’s just following instructions.
@H B Could the police bring a separate case for wasting police time or perverting the course of justice? Not jail but just a fine, dunno just saying!
"...not a motorcycle made of drugs..." possibly the best thing ive had grace my eardrums in at least a month.
Thank You for posting Dr. Grande, your input on this matter is appreciated.
Whenever Amber Heard is on the stand, she just digs her hole bigger as she goes on and quotes movies and stuff as if it pertains to the relationship she and Johnny Depp had while also looking insane, while Johnny Depp has been fairly calm and collected and just answers the questions he’s asked as truthful as possible.

thanks for the rational and detached analysis todd, pretty much in line with what i saw of the testimony, saved me a lot of time delving any further
Thank you, Dr. Grande, for an excellent synopsis of the case so far. I also appreciate your assessment of the situation. It sounded very fair and compassionate. The dog joke injected some much needed humor.
Interesting and insightful as always, Dr. Grande.
One perspevtive I would have liked to see you explore, is the possibility of Heard being psychologically abusive towards Depp throughout their relationship. The personality disorders atributed to Heard by Dr. Curry do have a strong corrolation towards manipulative behaviours. In addition we know Heards friends and family were strongly involved - in fact residing in the penthouse complex having master keys giving them access to all apartments.
Furthermore there is evidence of Heard continuing to use substances and alcohol around Depp while he was trying to achieve sobriety, and circumstancual evidence that Heard denied Depp medication for withdrawal when he was working to discontinue his use of prescription medication (oxy?).
In addition to this, Heards 'bickering' with Vasquez (Depps lawyer) on the stand clearly paints a picture of someone utterly impossible to argue with. I'm not prone to drinking, but I strongly suspect I would have needed more than a stiff one to deal with that.
My mother and father's relationship is almost exactly like AH and JD's. My mother is abusive physically, mentally and emotionally. She's manipulative and will lie or over exaggerates her stories. She started fights and wouldn't let my dad walk away. So he would just sit there silently. Stoically. For 30 years. He never once hit her. He rarely raised his voice, and he took us aside after she would say the worst things to me just to explain she didn't mean it. I've lived with a woman like Amber.
Unfortunately so did Johnny (his mother) and then again with Miss Turd. Hopefully that horrible cycle stopped with you and so sorry you had that horrible experience , As a domestic violence survivor , my three boys saw so much that I wish they hadn't and I pray every day for them so they don't continue the cycle in any way, shape, or form. I tell them to just walk away... JD knew to do the right thing and I hope it's paying off for him now that it's all came out into the public ...
We needed this analysis to be presented in court for the closed argument, doctor you are on point of everything 100% on point!
Good analysis. When Johnny's financial advisor testified, he spoke volumes about Johnny's generosity towards his friends and employees.
“Teacup Yorkie has a better defamation case than either Johnny or Amber...” hahahaha
Well, I do think Amber is the devil in this scenario. Absolutely. The recordings tell me who was the instigator. I don't think he was jealous or controlling because he was the one who left all the time. He didn't stay to control her or monitor her comings and goings. If you've known an "Amber" or if you've been an "Amber"...when you know you know, and I know.
I think he was jealous with good reason. Amber is a class-A flirt who loves attention and isn't shy about getting it. Her cozying up to others who are supposedly only 'friends' is being a tease. She's showing no consideration to these friends at all if she's really only a friend.
JD had every reason to suspect Amber would continue with business as usual. She came on to him when he was still attached and she was attached. That said, JD is a flirt, too.
@@annmalleybooks her 30th birthday dinner he describea how when he met her she left a perfect ass print on his couch. 🤮
Great play on words for your description. It's reminiscent of Johnny Cochran's "if the glove doesn't fit you must acquit" phrase.
It is almost impossible to find a fair and objective take on this case. Thanks for a balanced view. I have met Johnny Depp, he really is a great person.
She's batshit crazy. My ex was just like her. Couldn't keep his crazy to himself. Believed his own lies. God he was toxic. Every thing was my fault. His cheating, his lies his stealing off me. She reminds me of him..
Thank God you're free of the craziness.
I agree with you, Dr. Grande! Neither are angels, but the objective evidence does not look good for Amber; and in the jury of public opinion, Johnny has definitely won already. Great video!!
If I could just meet her, I know I could help her.
@@genox3636 how much money do you have?
Public opinion isnt always right look at Barabbas v Jesus ,a Murderer or GOD , same choice we all still have to make today numerics doesnt have much to do with it all in the end , both JD &AH have abusive issues and having been involved with abused and abusive people in prisons for over 35yrs not one abuser had lived without being abused in childhood wether sexual, physical, substance , verbal ,mostly a combination of allof them , what I experienced and saw ,heard, was 99 percent of inmates who were abusers were once abused , violence breeds violence and both JD&AH were abused as children , ! Not making excuses for their behaviour its still choice ,but they are like so many who make the wrong choice ,also if JD had no teeth ,acne all over his face, and unknown in follywood , I wander how many fans hewould have fawning over him and if his no1 fan at this moment would be willing to still take a bullet for him !!
@@poutmaster I make 55k per year, so that hurts my chances.. but if love and kindness is there, anything is possible.
@Paul Cooper but if I tried my best, and pushed forward with no idea of quitting, she would be impressed with my dedication, right?
Hallelujah Dr. Grande! After your last analysis of this case I was thinking you were probably working on your car while watching the trial. Perfect analysis and spot on! 👏 👏 👏
Every time I watch one of these videos, I check my ambitions.
Which improves my life.
This channel makes me a better person.
Her stories are unraveling
Good to see you're finally seeing it
I disagree on the defamation though, Johnny clearly didn't commit SA - as this was heavily associated with that as well as a lot of blatant lying, I think he should win on those grounds.
that was my thought. The SA accusation can't just be brushed aside as her fear of abandonment.
It really comes down on what the jury will decide DV is. If they agree it is just physical, he has a good chance on winning, unless AH's team has something big in their pocket. If they include the psychical, the shouting etc, then he will likely lose 2 of the 3 claims.
He is very likely to win the SA one.
Going into this case I was convinced it can not be won, because defamation is so hard to win. But even so, if he wins, it is more AH losing it, than anything else. He has a great legal team, but it was still AH's on stand behavior that made it a realistic possibility to talk about JD winning all claims.
I honestly don’t think he hit her either. Some of her friends testified to bruising and that she said he hit her, but none saw him. He could’ve, but I’m not sold on that. Some of those pictures of her “ injuries” could be self-inflicted or resulted from her fighting him, or he trying to get her off of him. We just don’t know. Also, after looking at the photos myself, at least one of them ( of those that were released to People magazine when the abuse allegations came out) looks doctored. One eye on one side shot looks bigger, like there was a sloppy job done on photoshop editing. But, then again, I don’t know if his legal team was able or is still looking into that possibility. I know she hadn’t turned in all the meta data, when it was requested earlier in the year. Crazy case!
Hit the nail on the head again Dr. Grande! Your a wise man.
Have a great weekend.
I agree almost completely with your summary at the end of the video. Thanks for the unbiased review.
LOVE the late night Dr. Grande surprise post!
Depp had a wonderful 14 year relationship to Paradis according to Vanessa. 4 years with Winona and a long relationship with Moss. Heard is the problem. The hysterics in the video where she said" You are killing me" was because he wanted to see his daughter for 2 hours...she was jealous of his daughter.
If you watch her 2016 deposition she is rolling her eyes, and smirking. THEN she claimed it was because the lawyers were laughing at her, yet you cannot hear any laughter. She claimed in an interview that $7 million had been donated (past tense).
Johnny is not entitled. He worked hard for everything he has. He let all her loser friends live for free at his homes. Amber is not friends with any of these people anymore.
Those bruises are from botox and filler. One is a huge pimple on her face.
She is evil and I'm sure there are tons of men falsely accused and it makes me sick that people believe them with no proof.....
"She was trying to prevent him from starting a drug cycle. Which is not a motorcycle made of drugs..." You are sheer comedic brilliance, Dr. Grande. 💖💖💖
This is the reason why I jump to listen to you and your analysis.... even when I don't totally agree. You always put it like it is and really makes us think clearly. "You're That Man!"
Amber is responsible for cutting off his finger And you seem to forget she put a cigarette out on his face while he was in shock over it.
From the evidence put forward so far, it would seem that it was actually Amber who was the substance using monster, that was abusive and violent towards her ex-husband, as well as to her other previous relationships and friends.
What do you think the outcome will look like?
@@nohatenopain
If it continues like this Amber will come away with nothing.
@@nohatenopain I'm pretty sure you can throw Amber's counter sue in the trash. As for Johnny's, I'm not sure. He needs to be able to prove that it was directly her fault, from intentionally smearing his name to the public that lost him millions of dollars and job opportunities. On this I would say possibly.
@@SodaiGoku Just imagine if neither of them gets anything, talk about a waste of time for both of them - while also they both slander their names through media.
@@nohatenopain not really. Johnny Depp has already had to live with his name being slandered for years now, and his career and finances have been damaged due to it, where Amber Heard hasn't. She has more to lose, and, if the case has no winner, Johnny has ultimately already won with this exposure. The fans love him and want him back.
Your analysis is SPOT ON. Thank you!
I found your analysis very balanced and informative. Thank you.
If you look closely, theres a folding knife nestled in a crease in the sheets that would have more effectively split the hard wood of the bedframe than a leather or rubber soled boot. Also, the heel would have been most able to split the wood (not as much leverage in the toe) so he would gave been facing away from the head of the bed, and so not attacking her when it happened. My vote is the wood was split after whatever happened with the knife on the bed for a photo opportunity.
Exactly !
@@mymai5859 - I watched that the other day. Rob made it very clear the bed frame had to have been cut.
Watch 'Law & Lumber'. The guy is brilliant and totally debunks the boot theory.
Amber says she wants to get on with her life and Johnny won't leave her alone yet she is the one bringing him up constantly with her accusations. She is the one who started this with her "I'm a victim" article. If she needs to use Johnny as a stepping stone to get public attention maybe her own talents aren't that great. Her acting talent fell flat in court that's for sure.
Her Australian acting coach said that Amber was unable to produce tears when taking classes from her. We've witnessed Ms.Turd's gurning facial distortions when she pretended to cry. Not ONE TEAR. Her sister Whitney is a better actor, (as well as being terrified of Amber). Their stories about the staircase hitting by Johnny were opposite, one said he was coming upstairs, the other he was going down.)
Well said Dr. Grande! You hit the nail on the head as usual👏👏👏👏
I agree with your theories 100%
They are both victims of an unhealthy attachment dynamic. I understand that JD would want to ‘clear his name’ but I think this case is a relapse into attachment and ego.
I agree that Amber most likely started these conflicts and was the aggressor. My mom was the same way with my Dad. When she would attack him and he would defend himself she was always the one "hurt" . My Dad was labeled a wife beater and Mom was a victim her whole life even after my dad left. It very well could have ended with tragedy. It was tragic in that it fractured all of us children. There are no winners.
Dr. Grande let's not forget the allegations of SV what kind of right minded person would come up with such a heinous story unless they are deeply disturbed?
The title, truly you've outdone yourself doctor!
Thank you for the objective analysis. Nice to hear from someone not star struck.
Thru many cases & popular media fascinations, your objective analysis is always rational & spot on.
I think it’s absurd that Amber claimed that Johnny cut his own finger off. Johnny loves to play his guitar. Why would he do that to himself when he said it himself that playing his guitar brought him joy since he was a young kid? It’s truly scary to think Amber believes her lies or thinks she’ll get away with it.
It’s ridiculous to think he cut off his finger. I agree. The audio of the aftermath makes it really obvious that Amber is a liar.
I heard some unsubmitted audio of Dr. Kipper and the nurse when they were trying to find the fingertip afterward. Amber was in the background drunk and wailing about the fact that she took his finger off. They had to sedate her and have one of the security remove her from the premises. Dr. Kipper wanted her gone because he couldn't take her hysterics and wailing. lol
She believes her behaviors are justified
@@ba8501 yep and you can hear Dr kipper saying she did this. And he says she's on 50 mg of seroquel but I don't have a problem with you giving her 100 mgs right now. I'm not quoting this, because I don't know verbatim as to what he said.
@@heatherpearce8146 lol, yes he wanted to give her even more.
I agree. There’s also a lawyer who makes furniture as a hobby (aka lumber lawyer I believe) and he talks about the broken bed, how it appears to be constructed and how wood tends to break. His analysis of the break in the wood goes against the testimony in the trial. He talk about it on his TH-cam channel.
Exactly, he made a demonstration with a similar block of wood and a knife.
Rob from Law and Lumber is great!
I saw this. A very clear explanation of how the bed was broken. Well illustrated by the reconstruction, and substantiated by a clear demonstration of the qualities of a beam of wood ( pine I believe,) but largely both the problems inherent in splitting the grain, and the end result of doing so. It was clear that it required the use of a knife, or some other similar instrument. A boot even a workman's boot with steel toe caps and heels was not sharp enough to instigate the split. It required something sharp pushed in and then waggled around to gain purchase, and finally used as a lever to force the wood to split. Very little physical force was needed, but the right tool was..........and what was lying on the bed? Looked like a knife to me.
I saw him! He was great!
Gosh I love your creative titles, Dr G!! 🙌
I can’t share my thoughts as I simply haven’t watched any of it.. I can concur that the opinions and thoughts do create an interesting dialogue though as I have spent the last hour transfixed by comments from complete strangers. Your platform to showcase news has been my favourite for years. As always great job Dr G😊x
