I am a DV survivor. I left him 6 years ago but I was in the relationship for 4 years. When I first left him I still thought I loved him. After a few years, I found my self worth again and realized I couldn’t truly love someone that could hurt me so viciously. So her saying she still “loves” him doesn’t make sense after all these years. My ex had just broke me. He gaslighted me into believing many things. I had no interest in watching the trial, but what caught my attention was seeing a clip on TikTok and AHs behavior didn’t make any sense. I knew almost immediately that her behavior was not conducive to someone that had been horribly abused for years. When she couldn’t figure out a timeline of events, I knew something was off. And I do realize that some people forget moments during a traumatic event, however, if you remember some you most likely remember all. I can tell you every thought, smell, and noise during the abusive outbursts. During those moments, you are in fight or flight mode. When you are trying to survive everything is heightened. Your survival instincts seem to take over. So when she couldn’t tell the jury this happened, then this happened, I knew something was off. Also, if she still loves him and wishing no will ill on him, then why did she “act” so frightened to walk past him when she was walking off the stand? Her behavior and words are all over the place and nothing is consistent.

The fact that she says this trial it's the worst thing that ever happened to her, proves Johnny didn't put her trough years of abuse because that would be a way worse experience.

This is what Johnny meant by " global humiliation"not that he was going to orchestrate something, that her own behavior would sink her

Nobody in a violent abusive relationship would provoke their partner like Amber did. She wasn't frightened by him at all. She has no idea what walking on eggshells means.

Thank you Amber for yet again proving how badly you lied under oath. I work with real DV survivors and not once in 25+ years have I heard a real victim say what she did.

"Camille : Have you donated the $7 million divorce settlement? Amber : Yes Camille : No you haven't Amber : I use yes and no synonymously."

To have your abuser say “I love you” after you’ve broken free of them feels like them trying to push themself on you again. Almost like taunting you, “Look, I’m still here, you’ll never get rid of me. I still love you”. That’s what abusers do not survivors.

The "perfect victim" line shows clearly that "victim" is just a role description for her, a tool she tries to wield for sympathy and in order to wield power. This is disgusting. My blood boils, and i am not even a victim

Her interviewer deserves an award for keeping a straight face as she listened to Amber’s answers. What a skill.

“ I still love him” are the words of an abuser trying to lure their victim back, the words of someone who is not done yet.

The problem with AH is that she thinks she’s smarter than she really is

An abuser says " no one will believe you or nobody will care" this was said to me as a child from my abusive sister. Amber said these exact words to Johnny. This went off like fireworks when I heard it.

I was a victim of domestic violence: my ex wife has borderline personality disorder and many of the things Amber said in the taped conversations and the way she said them ran chills down my spine. They were very much alike.

"I'm not a perfect victim". Excuse me, didn't she testify that she would NEVER call herself a victim? 🤔

Someone should explain to her that someone saying "you gave the performance of your life" doesnt necessitate it being a good performance

There was something about Amber’s face in court that instantly told me she was lying. I don’t know what it was, but I was sort of able to pin it down to this look of widened eyes and upturned eyebrows that she has a lot, especially when sat listening to others. It’s an expression that I recognise from my own abusers, almost like a way of saying “look how innocent I am, sitting here listening politely”, head tilted to show she’s listening and all of that stuff. I know nothing about body language but as a DV survivor I could instantly tell from that look that she was lying. She wanted to look innocent and respectful, but for me it was a massive tell that I picked up on immediately.

Justice does not require a “perfect victim” it just needs a truthful one.

On the stand a few weeks ago: "I NEVER wanted to be seen as a victim, nor have I ever called myself one." Now: "I'm not a perfect victim, I'm not a likable victim."

Being abused in childhood still creates anger in me even after therapy. It's the betrayal. How do you love someone who betrays you, mocks you and then blames you. Clearly a lie, it has to be

I think she was telling the truth when she said “loaning her voice to a bigger cultural conversation at the time.” To me, that screams “i created a story to share during a bigger cultural conversation we were having at the time.” Shes telling on herself. She saw what was happening with women in the media, she saw the opportunity being with an A list celebrity with known problems, and she took the opportunity to feign an abuse story people would be willing to accept.

When she says "it was the most humiliating and horrible experience of my life," she's describing the Trial not the Abuse. You can see the real emotion in her eyes. She is tearing up and her chin trembles. She was never Abused but this trial did Humiliate her, and she brought this on herself.

As a dv/sa survivor, just these snippets of her interview makes me sick! I’ve been states away from my abuser for almost 7 years and I’m just as terrified of him as the day I left. I’d never say “I still love him” nor would I ever apologize for what I was put through. Amber needs to go touch grass and then get some help!

I'm an abuse survivor, not in relation with DV, but during my childhood. I'm studying psychology right now, and that also sheds some light on everything for myself. There's a clear timeline in events or non-events for me. Sounds weird at first, but let me explain: as I was younger, around 4 to 8 maybe even 9 years old, there was stuff happening to me, I can't clearly remember, just parts of it, and even those are really blurry. It's often hard enough to believe myself that it happened, I would never paint an overly dramatic picture of it. The other thing is, at one point I started to consciously recollect abusive events in my life, which has two causes. The first one, I grew older, my brain started handling things differently, I developed more of a self-sense. The second thing was, it wasn't sexual abuse. Now, I know myself better than anyone else ever could, and I'm pretty sure, would it have been another act of sexual abuse, I would've gone back into the state that I was in as younger child; I'm sure I would struggle with my recollection just as much as I do for the few years earlier. That's something common, something that protects our brains from such horrible moments, and even though I hate the fact that everything is so blurry in my mind, I'm glad that I can't recall every single moment of it. What I effectively wanted to say is; You don't just forget some parts of the abuse and remember others randomly. It's just not how it works. I don't know. It was just something that came up out of a rarely visited place in myself, and maybe being heard is just something I always wanted. Oh well, that got emotional pretty fast. Still, thanks to everyone who took their time to read this, whether there is a response to it or not. And my final conclusion: Amber Heard's disgusting behavior triggered me. I'm sure that tells something, at least it does to me. (Sorry if my phrasing or word choice seems weird at some point, English isn't my native language.)

As an abuse survivor, this angers me that I was shouting at my screen while watching the interview. She clearly doesn't know how it is to be violently abused and it just makes my blood boil that she even has the audacity to separate herself from all of us DV victims, if she was indeed abused, which I highly doubt. She is just a liar and a gold digger who is using the pain of other women to get what she wants.

If she thought this interview was damage control she was wrong. She’s only making it worse. She really just needs to stop.

I love how she’s magically a “VICTIM” now, but when Camille suggested she was trying to be seen as a victim, Amber lost her shit 🤷🏻‍♀️ And Savanna is channeling all of us when she touched on the “donated vs pledged” segment. Her face was everything!

I love how passionate you are when speaking about the "types" of victims. That speaks volumes to me about your morals.

The feeling I get is that she has never even once been afraid of Johnny. The image I'm getting is that she tries to invade his space and he tries to retreat. When she says she's not a perfect victim, I think what she means is that she's an aggressive victim. I'm not sure what that is, but I think that's what she's saying.

I was told by my Dad that if you don't have something sensible to say don't say anything at all. There's also a saying that goes something like this. "Better to stay quiet and have people think you are stupid rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt"

That part where she says she's not a 'perfect victim' reminded me of when she lashed out at Camille and said 'I have never called myself a victim, nor would I'

I love your passion when talking about her being a perfect victim. 100% truth. What blatant disrespect for real victims. I am glad this was publicized, so many people watched it. I think it opened a lot of eyes out there, and hopefully push some people that are victims to try to escape their situation.

No, you're right. She is infuriating and does nothing but hurt people who have actually been abused and not believed.

You got me choked up defending "there is no perfect victim". THANK YOU!!!!!!! She has been infuriating to watch. I saw so much of my abuser in her it's almost scary. THANK YOU again for everything you said!

“I am not here to call them any names”- but calls them paid staff and randos… discrediting every one of them

Dude, you’re awesome! Thank you for sharing your well-educated insights, as well as getting upset at the things that matter. She is clearly a troubled individual, who is hurting, and has developed negative coping strategies to deal with her unresolved life tensions. But, to say she’s the voice or face of survivors of abuse because she was involved in a ‘cultural conversation at that time’ is OUTRAGEOUS!!! Thank you, again, for not remaining unbiased when you see injustice! 🧡

She said on the stand that she never called herself a victim. Now she’s calling herself a victim.

When Amber said “I’m not a perfect victim” it confirmed my suspicion she was just playing a part for the cameras. Amber’s idea of a “perfect” victim is a fragile woman who breaks down in tears when recalling the abuse she suffered. Amber tried to play what she thought was a perfect victim and she failed miserably

Her to say " I understand that the average person.." vs "I understand how people would.." just indicates that she's in a class of her own in her own mind. People , of all walks of life (Hollywood stars included) looked at her and thought the same , not just "the average person".

I’m also a survivor who had to hide from my abuser. This was over 11 years ago and I’m still afraid, my heart raise to the roof every time I see someone who looks just like him. It didn’t take long to feel the hatred after I successfully freed myself. I can’t believe that ANYONE feels any kind of love for someone who has hurt them that much so that she tried to get a restraining order against her abuser?! That for me is a big lie, even if it’s an attempt to gain sympathy from others by showing that she’s the bigger person… I don’t know?

Thank you for this video. I never thought that I could receive so much purging and closure and strength from this trial. Dr. Curry's testimony, other therapists' analysis, body language videos, behaviorists, and particularly this very video led me to realize what happened to me was not my fault. I can stop feeling as though I failed and can stop wondering how I could have persuaded them to not do what they did to me. I now know that was never going to happen. I was in the presence of a very deceptive malignant narcissist in two of my former supervisors, a pity seeking vulnerable/malignant narcissist in my sister, and a grandiose narcissist in my ex friend. I'm still not able to talk about other experiences. It was all right in front of me. I just didn't know what to look for while reflecting on everything that has happened. I feel soooo much relief and extra power. Words can't come close to describing how freeing and empowering this video was.

It has taken me 3 decades and hundreds of hours of therapy to be able to say "I wish him well". And I am lying through my teeth when I say it, but at least I can get the words out now. And my abuser didnt do half the things she claimed Johnny did. This whole thing has been very triggering. She was 100% correct when she said this was a setback for woman. It was and that's because she made a mockery out of us. How many victims are now going to be told "oK aMbEr HeArD"

She said in trial that she “NEVER CALLED HERSELF A VICTIM” yet in her interview she states she is “not the perfect victim”. Did anyone else catch this?

As an abuse survivor, this whole circus of a trial was enraging, as I’m sure it was for most survivors and those close to them (and pretty much most other people who watched it as well!). Watching her try to cry on the stand made me so angry I didn’t even know what to do with myself. Seeing her smirks so inconsistent with the weight of any given situation and hearing not only her constant lies but the way her voice sounds when she thinks she convinced us she’s telling the truth; or the way she looks so pompous in her attempts to look like she’s putting on a brave face…sure, she’s had to put on a brave face, a brave face in the wake of the “global humiliation” and intense public scrutiny that she’s created for herself…but she’s never, ever had to live with somebody who was both the person she thought she loved and her abuser, never had to look somebody in the eyes and feel the intense anxiety of not know whether she’ll make it through the day without being hurt physically or mentally by the person she thought she trusted, never had to go day after day with less and less hope that things will ever change or get better and wondering when the day might be that it’s too much to handle anymore, never been truly, purely afraid of the person she called her partner…(and of course everybody’s personal situation and journey is different, not exclusive to what I just wrote out which is just a very basic portrayal of my own experience and understanding…though apparently Ms. Heard thinks there’s a cookie-cutter shape of an abuse victim…when really there’s such a wide scope of what people have to live with in an abusive situation)… she’s never had to stand up and tell others (truthfully) about the terrible things she had to live through for the sake of possibly helping others, because, and this just makes me sick, not even angry, just sick, she’s not helping people living with or who have lived with abuse in heir lives, we all know that, but the fact that she genuinely thought she would be our voice…not because she’d lived through it and felt some sort of continuity with us, but because she thought it looked good on her…that’s literally the reason…she loved the attention, the idea of this “victimhood” I like to call it…it’s so obvious and the one thing that makes the rage I feel toward her manageable is the fact that people were able to see through her lies, thankfully. That, and the fact that this case has shone light on what a survivor of abuse actually is, not this character she played, but what it all actually means, and has extended that consideration to men who are survivors of abuse, which is so very important. Anyway, I don’t know if any of that made a whole lot of sense…I just feel so strongly about this in particular. And I do try to remain open minded and remind myself that she’s a person, nobody is perfect, surely she’s had her own personal struggles and this all must be very stressful for her…but none of that excuses the disgusting disservice she’s done for those she claimed to stand up for-in solidarity with-it’s almost unforgivable… On a lighter note 😮‍💨🙂I’ve been watching your videos since the start of this whole debacle and I genuinely appreciate your analysis of behavior and body language. You’re so entertaining to watch and you’ve also helped shed a light on how it is we know somebody is lying, when so often all we know is that the lies are being told! That context and background knowledge is so beneficial. Thank you for sharing it with us. And thank you for being considerate with the time stamp in this video. Your ability to empathize while remaining professionally objective is one of the several reasons I very much enjoy your videos :)

As a survivor of emotional and psychological abuse, I have never once said I loved my ex or missed him. It’s soo extremely weird and uncomfortable that she says that. Usually abusers will say that about the person they abused while also trying to save face and say how much better they are without them.

As a domestic violence survivor of over 50 years, and as an older woman (67), I can say this. Whenever asked by my therapist to speak about how I feel about my abuser, she knows to prepare for PTSD flashbacks, tears, flushing of my face, profuse sweating and EXTREME nausea...some of the many TRUE symptoms of recalling the person who abused you. I would NEVER say I still loved him. She showed no signs of a true DV survivor and has made a mockery of all the women and men who are.

As an abusive survivor, this all upsets me! When I was 14 (I’m now 32) I was physically, mentally, & sexually abused by my 18 year old “boyfriend” until the age of 16. Everything AH has said from trial to interviews has offended me. My perception is that she tried to envision what a suspenseful movie about an abuse survivor would look like… then she built a character for court that suffered some of the worst pains imaginable. And finally at the end of the movie the survivor forgives & loves the abuser in the most dramatic format. I would never express love for the person who abused me… he robbed me of so much in my youth & enjoyed every moment. AH has created a character in which the most traumatic experiences were endured & now she intends to perpetuate her role as “the wronged victim”… it hearts my heart & turns my stomach!

My abuse happened over 15 years ago and it still sticks with me to this day. In the way I still flinch when my husband (who has never laid a finger on me) reaches over my head to grab something from a shelf, to when I can become inconsolably upset just hearing or seeing abusive treatment on movies and tv. My abuser even passed away almost 3 years ago in a motorcycle accident and I still feel fear when I think about my past. Idc how much time will pass, I know I will never be the same because of it and that is something I will never be able to forgive him for. For the longest time I blamed myself for “allowing” myself to be in that position and most of my anger was toward myself and I put a lot of the blame on me, sometimes I still do. It has taken me many many years to understand that it wasn’t my fault and I didn’t deserve it. No one does. There is no doubt in my mind that AH does not truly believe she is a victim.

I am an abuse survivor. Everything she said made me angry and upset. I truly feel in my heart that she is the biggest and worst liar. She wanted to join the conversation of the me too movement, not "lend her voice"... but to be included for notoriety. Perhaps, moreover, to be close to that side instead of the opposite one that she should have been on, like a murderer trying to help find the missing person he or she kidnapped and killed. I guess it's possible to have loved the abuser, but to love him or her in present day and not wish any "ill will" towards them is a bit extreme- I feel it's another moment where she tried to paint herself in a positive light, as this all forgiving soul. That's just not real. Again, she's trying to take advantage of her viewers. I appreciated the warning before her perfect victim comment. I wonder what a perfect victim looks like. What an awful thing to say. As a survivor, she is insinuating that I should look and act a certain way. Why? Very weird thing to say. The only thing that does make sense about that, is what you said in your video. Because she has an idea in her head of what a victim is "supposed to be" and she is trying to exemplify that. Shame on her. Also, I know it's not discussed in this interview, but the recording where she said over and over "go ahead, tell the world you're an abused man", insinuating that no one would ever believe him, is so telling. Something similar was said to me as a child throughout years of abuse, by my abuser. She is the abuser and I'm glad she has been exposed as such. Johnny is the survivor and I'm so happy he prevailed.

As a survivor, her entire testimony upset me. I've never seen a true survivor look in the eyes of someone questioning them. It took me years to do that after years of intense therapy. She makes my blood boil with her statements.

She doesn’t love him!!! She is obcessed and wants control of him. She needs serious help

Oh wow, now you've mentioned about that weird smirky Elvis Lip thing I am spotting it constantly!!!! 😤😠😡🤬😡😠😤😂😂

The Edward Scissorhand thing enraged me!! So glad that you touched on that & so many other amazing points!!

I like how she calls herself a victim and in the court room, insisted she's never called herself a victim

Amber says, the trial was the most humiliating and horrible thing she's ever been through. Well damn... i thought being emotionally, physically and sexually abused was the worst thing she's ever been through. Nice to know she has her traumas prioritized.

I was in a very toxic and mentally abusive “relationship” (I say relationship in quotes bc we were never official) so her saying “I loved him” and changing it to “I love him” was not only inconsistent, it made no sense! When I ended the situation I had a long road of healing and I still am! The fact that she thinks it’s ok to say things like “I’m not the perfect victim” is not only insulting it’s ridiculous! When I ended the situation, I was angry and felt humiliated that I could fall for some trap!

I was with someone for over four years and in that time, he went from being so charming and lovable to a mr. Hyde monster. Now a monster is not someone who falls asleep with icecream dribbling over them, or someone who curls up in a ball on the floor, or walks away from a fight if it gets physical. A monster is someone who will hurl your things against a wall, come after you with a fury, constantly belittle you in an argument with the most obscene language, debase your looks, your family, threaten your safety both physically and emotionally, throw you out then ask you what's the problem. That's a monster.. a Jekyll to Hyde character. The only monster I saw in the AH/JD relationship was AH. She has the cackle to go with it and her twisted face as she tries to imagine emotions felt by someone who was actually abused is very ugly to watch. And the arrogance of her, still trying to make people believe her lies, is beyond belief. A horrible person, as I said to the monster I left. Luckily I got away. Thing is, he's also completely unaware of his monstrosity. They have personality disorders - in effect she possibly can't help it but that is no excuse to continue the facade. Get help. Stop playing the victim when you're the monster.

I'm a DV Survivor and when I watched Amber Heard's interview, I felt sickened to my core. In fact, the entire trial I had a very hard time watching her because it was so triggering for me. She paints a story in her head of what she thinks it's like to be a real DV victim, but anyone that's been TRULY involved in abuse can see right through all of her inconsistencies. Thank you for reflecting on what SO many of us feel, but have a hard time explaining. You make it a lot more manageable.

Thank you!!!! I've literally been screaming at the television regarding AH "I love him". I am a survive abuse victim, both DV & SV, & still to this day, over 25 years later, wish nothing on him except for him to rot - I loathe him in every possible way. I am no expert but during the trial it was painfully obvious to me she was lying & I loathe her for her pretence - how dare she - she makes my blood boil.

Survivor here. She sounded like my abuser, not the victim.

I am a survivor of SA and you’re on the money with everything you say!

I am a survivor of verbal and physical abuse from my ex husband, and have C-PTSD from it. A lot of things AH has said trigger me in the wrong way. I think, most of all, her statement of "Why would I?" on the stand, so nonchalantly, about whether she'd be afraid of the repercussions of sharing a disrespectful photo of "her abuser". I would NEVER. EVER. Because my very first thought would be how severely I would be beaten after doing something like that. You can't do that to a real abuser without knowing you'd be violently attacked. That was the defining moment for me. Her stating she still loves him and smiling when discussing their relationship proves he was a good man to her and never an abuser. I always think, was I even in love? Or was it simply trauma bonding? For me, I have zero positive feelings for him. My stomach churns at the very thought of being with him and I feel physically sick. She's only proving he's never touched her, she was the abuser, and she longs for the times when someone was good to her. You never long for times when you were abused. And when you're out of a relationship like that, no amount of good times will overshadow the reality of the bad. Every time I watch her, I feel sick. Because she is the one who reminds me of my abuser, not JD. The abuser is the one who wants back in, not the victim.

Your point about her being genuinely affected by the term "global humiliation" makes a lot of sense to me. If you pay attention, the times during her testimony where she felt the most sincere, were the times when she was talking about how this whole thing has bruised her ego - not when she was describing how she was abused.

I am finally free of a long and miserable time with an emotional abuser. A narcissist. And this makes me feel so angry. It makes me feel like she is trying to gaslight Johnny for as long as she can in the only way she can because she has lost control of being able to do it in person at her own will. It makes me so sick and angry! Everything she says I hear his voice. And she is not any type of victim from that man!

The Amber Heard magic trick was freaking hilarious! “That’s right, synonymously” 🤣

So I'm a survivor of rape and sexual assault by over 5 different men. I've never told my story anywhere, and only a few people in my life know about it. I can't connect with Amber on her allegations of physical abuse, but when she accused Johnny of sexual abuse, it became personal for me. One of the people that raped me was an ex-boyfriend who I thought I had loved. The day he did that to me, I lost every romantic feeling I'd ever felt with him. Sure, the memories of feeling in love were still there, and I could even recall them today, but never in a million years would I ever say "Yes, I still love him" if someone asked me that question. Also, I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you for the genuine empathy and anger you expressed in this video for every victim of abuse out there. It wasn't hearing Amber say horrible things like "I'm not a perfect victim" that made me cry, it was seeing that there are people like you who care so deeply that it brings them to deep emotion. Your videos have become much more than reactions to body language for me. They've made me feel seen and loved and that there are people willing to fight for the victims. Thank you

As someone who has experienced abuse, her lies are insulting in my opinion. Gaining sympathy on the backs of real victims to prop herself up. Terrible 😢

Perfect tour! Thanks for all those artists you speak about.

I appreciate you adding the time stamp and the head's up about skipping ahead.

I’m a DV survivor and AH reminds me so very much of my abuser who was obsessed with controlling me. I started watching the trial as an impartial observer…but it didn’t take me long to realize who was the instigator in the abuse and who was the abused. And watching her during the trial and in these interviews it is apparent to me that she’s trying her very best to get and hold his attention. Unfortunately these antics are at her own expense and making her a pariah to the whole world.

"Perfect victim" infuriates me as well. She is so consumed with what people "think". It's gross. Also, as a survivor, I can't even speak my abuser's name without feeling sick. No love for him. Just typing this out is making my stomach hurt. When I meet a stranger with the same first name, I instantly don't trust them. Unfair, yes, but I can't help it.

As an dv survivor I have to say this video was very hard for me to watch, and I should have listened when you gave the warning because I literally couldn't stop shaking and I felt like I was hyperventilating! There was no part of her interview that wasn't a lie as far as I'm concerned!

I didn’t know you’re a professional interrogator too! So much knowledge 🤯 That’s amazing.

If she had been sexually abused in the way she stated, there is NO way on earth she could have no ill feeling towards him. And you're right, all through the trial she tried to paint him as a 'monster'. Where did that go? She is a very sick and deluded woman. No wonder so many DV victims are angered by her. In this interview, she even admits that she's not part of that 'group'.

I'm a survivor and Amber has triggered my PTSD since I started observing some of the trial. This interview had me yelling at the screen too. The way she talks about how she loves Johnny and wishes him no ill will - I can't even think back to when my relationship with a psychopath started and seemed wonderful without feeling sick to my stomach! When I discovered the patterns of his behavior, learned what exactly gaslighting was and how it was happening to me, discovered ALL the lies, etc...I have never fallen out of love with someone so quickly. When I realized that I was in very dangerous territory because he was talking about me "disappearing", I couldn't cut ties with him quickly enough.

I found your channel because of this trial and I’ve learned so much! It’s not that I have people in my life who are manipulative or anything like that, but I am a mother and everything I’ve learned has helped me discern when my 4yo is lying! She now thinks I can read her mind or something because I can always call her out when she’s being dishonest!

I’m a survivor, everything Amber said and continues to lie about makes my skin crawl. It’s insane how someone can paint themselves to be a victim of abuse (and make it seem like it’s an amazing and heroic thing), but is clearly the abuser. I can’t help but laugh at her petty and sad attempts at fake crying, pointing blame at other people and flat out contradicting herself in the same sentence. My heart goes out to all the other angry survivors 💜 I appreciate your videos and your point of view, you truly brighten my day!

Funny how she strongly denied being a victim or calling herself a victim during the trial, and then refers to herself as such 3 times within 30 seconds in her very first interview 🤔

I am now 6 years out of my abusive relationship and I can easily say that not only do I actively have to remind myself that I am safe and deserve to have healthy relationships. That being the victim doesn’t make me a weak person but that I was taken advantage of. A piece of me was ripped from my soul and taken by a poor excuse of a man. I was gas lit and quite literally made to believe I was crazy-a lot of what she said on the stand was similar to my experiences with my ex. I was across country away from my whole family-and was left hiding in a garbage container until the cops came. This changed who I am. This broke me and no one else was able to put me back together other than myself (thru years of therapy). I would never ever say I love him. I don’t love him. I quite literally hate him. There’s a difference between coming to peace with your past and holding hate towards the person who abused you. I am at peace with that part of my life, I have a wonderful support system and I’m secure and safe with myself. But I still hate him with every fiber of my being. I try to not let my past consume my present but there are triggers. There are moments where I am lost in a flashback. It’s unfair that she’s portraying herself as a victim and to further it saying she’s not a “likable” one. I don’t give a rats ass if as a victim I am liked. When she said that this trial was a step back for victims of DV/SA she wasn’t wrong. But it’s not because of Johnny we have this set back. It’s because of HER. She took advantage of every single victim out there by claiming to be one herself. I remember seeing her depo in 2016 and knowing she was lying when talking about her sister. I had just gotten on a plane in the middle of the night to leave my abuser and remember seeing her depo and actively saying-is this who I am now? A victim. And I am. But through the years I’ve found strength in my healing-not my abuse-but my healing. She set the clocks back for DV/SA victims. And quite honestly I hope she rots the same way I hope my abuser rots. Sorry I got very heated and am floored that she would have the nerve to do an interview and claim she is still a victim and is telling the truth. There is a difference between reality and someone’s perception of reality. Her perspective is she is a victim but the reality is-she’s a liar and a shitty one at that.

As someone who has been in an abusive relationship, I don’t believe a single word that comes out of her mouth. And so many moments in this interview just made me so angry. Even before I watched the behavioural analysis of her, I always felt like her body language and choice of words wasn’t just off… but even cringeworthy. And as for her words, I feel a lot of things toward my ex boyfriend but love is definitely not a word I would use after so many years free of that relationship. It still keeps my up at night wondering if my ex is out there abusing another young girl because I was too weak and naive to know that I should have pressed some kind of charges against him (I was 17-18).

I am a survivor of abuse from 2 relationships. The first I was with for 10 years of hell. The way she blamed and lied reminding me of exactly the way my ex was like. The second abuser used to make up rubbish about me to my family and friends and acted like everything was my fault. The moment I saw her testimony I knew straight away what a huge liar and how abusive she was and how much she reminded me of those two abusers. She is a clear narcissist!, and I can truly show her what an abuse victim is like!. It has taken me 15-20 years to not panic so much as a passenger in a car. I will never forget what I was constantly called, told and made out to be by them. I truly feel sorry for her daughter I really do!!

"I know I'm not the perfect victim" Didn't she emphatically and angrily say in the trial, "I am NOT a victim. I have NEVER. Referred to myself as a victim." I feel like the loss of the trial and the fact that all her lies were exposed has made her a real victim in her own eyes.

As an ER Nurse, her testimony during the trial and this interview are totally unbelievable! I have seen some very serious injuries. One woman jumped from a moving car to escape her abuser! Terrified to be anywhere that he might get to her again, asked the cops to take her to jail so she would be safe! Amber is done, will never work in Hollywood again!

You're so absolutely a genius of analysis please we need more videos of you in every matter!

a few months ago (at 34 years old) I was able to acknowledge (for the first time) that I grew up with an abusive parent. I've always said to myself: You have no time no time to deal with it now. No one will listen to you anyway... Put it aside and move on. And by putting it aside, it didn't happen at all. Even though my friends told me my experiences weren't normal, to me it was perfectly normal...until it became too much. You were right in saying the 'perfect victim' comment would piss me off. it reminded me of something my parent said "I'm sorry I'm not perfect, and that what I say and do is hurting you". So once again, the survivor is being blamed for surviving, and the abuser is playing the victim because they weren't perfect enough. it seriously pisses me off

So glad you caught the group exclusion statment. Oh man, that was bad. She never saw herself as a victim.

The "perfect victim" is the role she was and still is trying to play. And she's sad and angry that people didn't appreciate her efforts. There are many lines that she borrowed almost word by word from actually victims on trials. Which is beyond horrible.

I really appreciate your work. I am learning so much. Just today, I pointed at my chiropractor, who is an expert in his first, when I said I wanted to ask him his professional opinion about my health. I’ll practice my index finger to my thumb. Thank you for the time stamp. You are so thoughtful! It’s so nice to be able to skip triggering comments. 🙏🏼🙌🏼💜. I didn’t believe that Amber loves Johnny. I also noticed her use of the past tense. I definitely don’t love my ex’s who were abusive. I’m still angry at their actions and my actions of putting up with it as long as I did.

I am an overcomer/survivor with complex PTSD. Being abused by an extreme grandiose narcissist, I see so many similarities in Amber. Those of us who have learned to be hyper intuned to every person in the room in order to dissolve potential conflict or further abuse can clearly see right through Amber's lies and narcissism. She's no victim, but tries to portray one to manipulate others. She's scary to me. I'm so thankful Johnny is finally free of her. 🙌

When she says "you and I" to Savannah, I believe it's because her status and being above the "average person" is more important to her than being consistent with her abuse narrative. Shes a narc. Given the chance to push out superiority or the "truth", someone like her will pick superiority every single time.

I am very empathetic. I am a sympathy crier, big time! Every time AH shows “sadness” I only feel embarrassment. I cringe. It’s not real. I’ve felt nothing but embarrassment and anger when watching her. The “perfect victim” comment had me hot! Didn’t she say she never saw herself as a victim? And now she is saying she wasn’t the “perfect victim” and that’s why she wasn’t believed?! Ugh this woman makes me angry. She is her own worst enemy. The more she talks, the deeper the hole she digs.

Love that you have all the links and sources to back up your points. Which are pretty darn profound dude.

I've already left a comment with my story in it and just wanted to say that I really love your behavioral analysis Mr Spidey. I find your way of introducing the subject of behavioral psychology very interesting. Keep up the good work ^^

The way she said "I still love him with all my heart" was so terrifyingly creepy, like the way my stalker used to talk to me, like his love for me was something I HAD to accept and return, rather than something he was shoving at me against my will. She talks, acts, and responds like a stalker and she scares me.

When I told my Psychologist that I was watching this trial she asked 'why', and I said "I know I shouldn't be watching it, as it is triggering for me", I added "But I think she is lying" she said "oh really what makes you say that?" I won't go into word for word after that, but basically said that she is telling it like a story out of a novel or a movie script, way to much detail. As an abuse survivor, you remember the abuse and the feeling (fear), when you are asked to tell the traumatic experience, I still years later, I breakdown crying, tears rolling down my face, snot flowing out my nose, unable to retell the horror. It's something that never leaves you. It's even harder to say it out loud. I think you don't even have to be a victim to see she was not telling it from a victims perspective. Not even close. She acted like the abuser. It's terrible what that woman has done to true survivors of DV and SV. She has to stop.

I’m an abuse survivor. While watching this interview, I was so upset that my tear went out. Because how she expresses things, how she smiles, how she reflect the questions. Reminds me exactly how my abuser was when he is in front of everyone else. No one, until today, no one believed that he is an abuser. I tried… but none of the ways helped… And I’m a petty person who talked behind his back…

As one of "the average people", I am sooooo positive that she is lying her ass off.

Her face when she’s finished “explaining” free speech, said “I read these words on Wikipedia so there”.

I heard the warning and I thought to myself "oh, I'll be fine. I've heard enough from her to already be mad. Surely she couldn't do any worse." And she blew my expectations out of the park. I have to say, you were right. It's infuriating. I'm also writing this before getting to the analysis, so you may mention it, but she mentions "I'm not the perfect victim, I'm not a likable victim" or whatever else she spews. Didn't she once say, in a very aggressive tone, that she has NEVER claimed to be a victim? Interesting.

I am a DV survivor. Having been a huge Johnny Depp fan for many years, I was shocked by Amber’s allegations as I didn’t want to believe that Johnny could have abused her the way I had been abused. I watched a lot of the trial and it struck me very early on in Amber’s testimony that whatever she considered to be abuse, was nothing like the abuse that I endured for many years. You can’t fake true fear unless you’ve experienced it, and you never forget that fear even years later. For example, my husband suffocated me with a pillow until I passed out. That was 24 years ago and to this day, I’ve never been able to cope with my face being covered up. That includes not being able to wear a face covering during Covid lockdown or even to have an oxygen mask put on in hospital when I required it. Another time he strangled me and I’ve never been able to wear a scarf or any clothing that touches even the bottom of my throat. The police attended my home way too many times to count but I never testified in court because I was too afraid to even be in the same room as him. I would never wish for anyone to endure what I and many others have survived, but to falsely accuse someone, (and someone she claims to love) and declare yourself a victim…wow, that’s low.

23 minutes in... love you!!! 🤣excellent stuff. Thanx for creating & sharing!
