As a victim, I felt that nobody would believe or help me until I made an attempt on my life. As a survivor, after finding the courage to seek help and make a police report when my life was threatened that fear became a reality.
The Depp v. Heard case carried a huge weight on how future male survivors would attempt to seek help in repairing not just their reputation but their lives as well. Like many, I sat at the edge of my seat listening to both sides and the evidence provided, hoping that the jury would make the right decision. Thankfully, in my opinion, they did. Mr. Depp provided recordings, eyewitnesses to reveal his truth and I cannot express the relief I felt upon seeing the results. This post isn’t to bash Heard supporters so I ask that respect is kept on both sides. That being said, Ms. Heard’s time on the stand revealed that their are women who can manipulate the system in order to destroy the reputation of others.
Ultimately, I would encourage all survivors, particularly male, to take the fact that there is HOPE now. This case has become a major leap in the progression of listening to male survivors and victims alike. While those whose reputations were ruined, with this case there is a chance you can seek legal help. We cannot allow these manipulators (woman, man, non-binary, etc.) to utilize the system against us.
Once again, I’m not bashing Heard supporters, I’m also not stating that Mr. Depp is a perfect man. BOTH sides show that both can benefit from seeking therapy and only the two of them know the FULL truth.
I do stand with Mr. Depp and I hope he is able to regain the reputation he has lost as well as seek mental health assistance.
I encourage a respectful exchange between both sides as well as survivors seeking legal counsel should it be needed.
Mr. Depp told the world and the world listen. I believe it’s time we do the same for other men.
