I don't know why I feel extremely uncomfortable to talk about Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial because I feel like no matter whom I speak in support of, I will be in the wrong.

See, I personally believe they both were in a mutual toxic and abusive relationship. They both loved each other in a sadistic way and they both suffered for it. But what was wrong of Amber Heard was the fact that she presented herself a victim when she too was a perpetrator.

Since this was a defamation case and Depp's allegations were that Heard wrongly accused him and tainted his reputation with lies, initially I did had fun at Amber's expense and shared memes and videos. But as the trial progressed, the entire thing became a witch hunt and that's when I started feeling uneasy.

The attack on Amber Heard not only became extremely personal but it also started becoming directed at other woman. The whole concept of domestic abuse was started being ridiculed and people started wondering how many other have lied? Also everyone started to worship Johnny Depp. Now I personally am a fan of Depp and I do understand that he was wronged by Heard . But somewhere down the road of this trial we completely forgot that he is not a saint.

Again I am not saying Amber Heard is innocent. Honestly I don't know but as far as I have seen the trial, she doesn't seem like she is. But it also doesn't mean that Johnny Depp is a saint. And it also doesn't mean every woman is a liar or men cannot be abused. This entire case has brought out so many aspects and topics of conversations that needs to be addressed by everyone. For example male victims of domestic abuse, toxic female advantage, possibility of discrediting a victim of domestic abuse because of the precedent Amber Heard case set etc. But instead we collectively are focusing on a witch hunt. To mock and ridicule Amber Heard by seeing the case as Black and White where Heard is the Devil and Depp is the angel when reality clearly is far from it.

Let's not turn this thing into a greater circus than it already is. Let's not diminish the effort #metoo movement had started and let's not discredit men who face domestic abuse.
