As my comment stated, Heard’s testimony was key in the UK ruling.
Yes, of course two people in a relationship can both be abusive. There’s also the complicated topic of reactive abuse.
And aside from those facts - the level of sexism leveled at Heard in the US went above and beyond anything she deserved.
Depp hired a notorious PR firm to absolutely trash her in the media—the same person Baldoni hired in his lawsuit against Blake Lively. She had a PR firm working for her, too, of course but Depp’s person (Melissa Nathan) is known to be pretty evil and the fact that it’s a woman attacking another woman is pretty gross.
I think they are both probably shit people. It’s impossible to tell who is worse.
