    It's not like Depp fans on twitter or Daily Mail are reputable sources here…

    Then maybe just listen to the audio recording between her and him and judge for yourself. It's pretty clear from the audio she was abusing him physically and verbally while he was trying to calm her down in this instance.

    Maybe. But I also firmly believe that the risk of recordings and statements being taken out of context is extremely high.

    I also consider the campaign taken by Depp fans to be extremely distasteful due to the amount of personal attacks.

    Whatever it is, they both seem to be toxic in the relationship. However, a lot of evidence is coming up against Heard...

    Personally, while I liked her enough as Mera, I think her visuals sold the character more then her actual acting did, so I wouldn't necessarily mind a recast come what may.

    This whole Heard/Depp relationship just seems like an emotionally abusive mess. Possibly on both sides.

    I don't understand fan defenses myself, since the vast majority of them have no idea what type of people they idolize are in reality.

    I don't think there's something to be misconstrued, in the video she flat out admits that she abused him physically and verbally. Not sure what Depp's fans have been doing, but there's nothing to be taken out of context in the particular video. I don't care much for Depp himself but it's amusing that people who got on JK Rowling's case for giving him a job must feel a tad bit silly right now.

    Regardless, I don't think this will affect Heard's Aquaman role. She plays a supporting character, it's not like this is Momoa revealed to have done something awful to his spouse.

    It's not gonna affect anything. When Depp was accused it didn't affect Fantastic Beasts at all.

    Though Depp is a much bigger name than Heard.

    Aquaman 1 did very well despite the very loud Heard haters.. She should stay as Mera because I liked her work and I like good continuity.

    Yeah, I wish the mods would close this thread. It's mostly low-level misogyny and regurgitated links to Daily Mail.

    I'm not a big fan of Depp and barely knew anything about Heard but I have seen firsthand the damage that abuse does and the worst part is when the abuser uses their charm and reputation and charisma to turn friends and even complete strangers against you. Heard's behavior is one of the more blatant examples of that and the fact that she was associated with #MeToo shows her hypocrisy.
