I don't normally post about things like this, but I've been following this, and I believe Amber Heard. Don't get me wrong: I don't believe he is a bad person, or that he set out to beat anyone.
Why do I believe her? The way things have been described, these attacks happened when he'd had a lot of alcohol.
Several witnesses have said that she had no bruised when she appeared Make Up free, and that people didn't think he was drunk when she has claimed he was.
Now, while I am not an addict myself, I've seen the results of alcohol addiction (although without physical abuse). Alcoholics tend to take out their anger at themselves on loved ones (whether by abuse or shouting at them). They also build up enough of a tolerance to alcohol that they can appear to be sober having drunk enough to make most people pass out. I know someone who is an alcoholic who can drink six or seven pints of strong lager, without going to the toilet or eating, and appear sober. He admits to drinking 6 pints in five hours, but I know that when he starts drinking, he drinks a lot more than 1 pint an hour. Based on how fast he drank when i used to drink with him, I'd argue that the 5 or 6 pints he admits to is actually more likely to be 9 or 10.
Another thing Johnny Depp may be doing that Alcoholics do is transferring. They have to blame someone for their behaviour, because they think there has to be a reason they drink, and they can't blame themselves. Usually, in my experience, this results on the alcoholic blaming something they see someone else as being responsible for, whether it's their boss or workmates to blame for something at work (although it's likely any problem at work is partly caused by the alcoholism), or the bloke that cut them up on the road, or pushed in front of them at the station.
While I am no expert, everything I've read that Amber Heard has done and said is consistent with what I have read victims of Alcoholics suffer, and Johnny Depp's actions are consistent with my own experience of Alcoholics. This leads me to believe that while he has been to rehab, it was either not his choice (whether he was forced or persuaded to go) and it has therefore not worked. One of the most important things Alcoholics Anonymous ask is that the Alcoholic apologise for their actions to their victims. The reason they ask for this is that they believe to control the addiction, Alcoholics need to accept (and show) that *they* are responsible for their actions. No one else.
What I have read of Johnny's actions suggests that while he may make other people believe he thinks this, and that he may even believe he thinks he is responsible for his actions, he doesn't actually think he is responsible for his actions.
I don't blame Johnny. Addiction is an illness. But, assuming he is an addict, he needs to accept that he is addicted to Alcohol, and,as such, can never touch alcohol again.
I know that his team are claiming that Amber is an Alcoholic, and she may be. She certainly seems to drink a lot. However, her behaviour, as described during this case, is, IMO, consistant with that of a victim of an Alcoholic (yes, even the violent outbursts).
