> from the point of view that Amber Heard is a human being who has clearly suffered and is now facing immense public backlash Why do people keep taking this odd stance? The reason she is facing backlash is exactly because she didn’t suffer, her stories were lies, she got caught in a multitude of lies, and it’s clear her claimed suffering was a made up extortion scheme. That is why the er is backlash that is why social media is eating her alive. You can’t just pretend she was a real victim and then try to cast the social media response in the light of that hypothetical, since people would not be calling her out for lying if she had not been lying. > I think you can be sympathetic to Johnny Depp’s side of the case and still see Heard as someone who was sharing what seemed to her to be the essential truth of her situation. No, no you cannot. If I go out of my way to craft a narrative that someone abused my and attempt to blackmail them with it, then throw out a plethora of probable lies, you cannot just say that this was “essentially true to me”
