But his lawsuit in Virginia might see him claw back at least his reputation. <\/p>\n<p>Depp is suing his ex-wife Amber Heard in a $50 million defamation suit, and what\u2019s unfolding in the courtroom is a tale of a wife who was perhaps just as abusive as her husband, and a profile of a marriage that was chaotic, strained, and dangerous. Depp\u2019s reputation resurrection may be at hand.<\/p>\n<p>Heard, it turns out, was no helpless victim, but was oftentimes the aggressor in their heated, violent, marital spats. Perhaps Hollywood and the world were too quick to take Heard\u2019s side and too quick to side-line Depp on allegations alone.<\/p>\n<p>After Heard alleged that the famed Pirates of the Caribbean actor was abusive during their marriage, Depp was dropped from the Fantastic Beasts franchise, as well as from Disney. He was called a \u201cwife-beater\u201d in UK tabloid The Sun and lost a defamation lawsuit against that publication. This latest lawsuit comes as a result of an op-ed Heard published in the Washington Post in 2018 about domestic violence. It did not mention Depp by name, but it didn\u2019t have to. The public interpreted the \u201cAquaman\u201d actress\u2019s piece, written at the height of the #MeToo movement, as referring to abuse in her own marriage.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/amber-heard-3.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Amber Heard\" class=\"wp-image-22089955\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/amber-heard-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/amber-heard-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/amber-heard-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The lawsuit stems from a Washington Post op-ed Amber Heard wrote in 2018 which said she was the victim of abuse. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Exposing men was big business in 2018, and many successful, high-profile men, as well as plenty among the ranks of the unknown, were pushed from their perch by women who were often believed, without evidence, that the men they accused were guilty as publicly charged. Heard was part of this movement, and Depp paid the price.<\/p>\n<p>This new trial shows that Heard and Depp were often heavily intoxicated. Heard once threw a bottle at him nearly severing his finger, and, according to Depp\u2019s testimony, \u201cEach time one of these incidents would occur, it seemed to get worse and worse.\u201d When asked if there was violence committed against him by Heard, Depp unequivocally said yes.<\/p>\n<p>Heard\u2019s testimony begins next week, and while she will likely give her views on their clearly dysfunctional marriage, unless Depp is outright lying, there is no way to say that Heard is the innocent victim that she has portrayed herself as.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/johnny-depp-01-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Johnny Depp\" class=\"wp-image-22090013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/johnny-depp-01-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/johnny-depp-01-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/johnny-depp-01-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Johnny Depp testified that ex-wife Amber Heard was violent towards him. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">EPA<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>She was complicit, an aggressor, and abusive toward her husband.

The revelations of this trial, and the continued realizations that many of the men who lost careers, livelihoods, and reputations at the hands of those screaming MeToo, could have a lasting impact on how America understands abuse. <\/p>\n<p>Domestic abuse is serious and deadly, and those women who would use allegations of abuse, and the status that comes with their own victimization to boost themselves and their careers, are harming women and domestic abuse survivors.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/johnny-depp-02-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Johnny Depp\" class=\"wp-image-22090042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/johnny-depp-02-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/johnny-depp-02-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/johnny-depp-02-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Johnny Depp lost several film roles after ex-wife Amber Heard\u2019s op-ed. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">EPA<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p> Depp\u2019s return to the silver screen would be a justifiable and welcome outcome from this trial, but the damage done to real, as opposed to imagined victims of abuse, could be that they are no longer believed with the same blind ferocity as they were during the \u201cBelieve all women\u201d years.<\/p>\n<p>Toward the end of Depp\u2019s testimony, his lawyer played a recording of Heard allegedly taunting her husband.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can tell people it was a fair fight . . . see what the jury and judge think,\u201d Heard allegedly said. \u201cTell the world, Johnny, tell them \u2018I, Johnny Depp, a man, I\u2019m a victim, too, of domestic violence . . . and it\u2019s a fair fight.\u2019 And see how many people believe or side with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heard might be surprised how many believe him.<\/p>\n<p><em>Libby Emmons is editor in chief of The Post Millennial.<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
