While they say that the effort that is put in a relationship should be a two way street, we beg to differ when it comes to this couple. One expert says that both Johnny Depp and Amber Heard engaged in mutual abuse throughout their relationship, which is not a good thing at all. Keep reading below for all that you need to know.
Laurel Anderson, a clinical psychotherapist who saw the pair on multiple occasions, said Depp told her that his former wife “gave as good as she got” during their fights.
Johnny Depp And Amber Heard Both Guilty Of Abuse, So Says Expert
The actor is suing Heard for libel over a 2018 op-ed written in the Washington Post which his lawyers say contained false allegations that he physically and sexually assaulted her while they were married. Giving evidence at the trial on Thursday, Anderson said Depp struggled to keep up with Heard’s “jackhammer style of talking” during their sessions.
“She was very amped up,” she told jurors at the Fairfax County District courthouse. “This is how (Depp) didn’t have a voice, he couldn’t keep up with her rapid-fire style of conversation. He had been well controlled for decades, with Ms Heard he was triggered and they engaged in what I saw as mutual abuse.”
Anderson said that Heard reported that she had been violent towards her former partner, saying it was a “point of pride” to initiate a fight if she felt “disrespected.”
“She felt she had to hit him back if he hit her so she always did,” she said. “She loved him, he loved her… she wasn’t stupid, she knew what they were doing wasn’t healthy so she wanted to want to divorce him but she didn’t.”
Johnny Depp filed a $50 million defamation suit back in 2019 over a Washington Post op-ed about domestic violence which was penned by Heard in late 2018, the bitter and dispute between the couple is presently set to go to trial starting April 11. This was after his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, went public with allegations of domestic violence against him. A judge at the High Court last year found the allegations to be “substantially correct.”
