The torchbearer of domestic violence against men

Bollywood veteran Johnny Depp never imagine that he would go through these types of falls in his career even after experiencing multiple relationships with several women when his latest ex-wife accused him of domestic violence and portrayed herself as a domestic violence survivor in an op-ed for a newspaper.

Following the allegations, he lost his ‘Pirates of Caribbean’ franchise and also got dropped from the Harry Potter prequel series. People came in support of his ex-wife Amber Heard and protested against him. He lost not only life-long earned honour and reputation but also his social and personal life. He is termed by many as the real pirate of Amber Heard happiness during their relationship.

But, he knew that the truth can’t be perished. He sued his ex-wife for writing the op-ed in a newspaper alleging indirectly him a domestic violent person, even after he previously lost his suit against a newspaper in the UK that had said him ‘wife beater’. His wife counter-sued too. It was 100 million dollars against his 50 million dollars. After the open trial in the Virginia court, USA, the jury found Amber Heard defamed Johnny Depp and ordered her to pay him 15 million dollars as compensatory and punitive damages.

The verdict would help Johnny Depp to get his reputation back. Outside the court, the chanting of Johnny, Johnny, and Johnny witnessed the order that the Jury gave his life back in the blink of an eye. Amber Heard what she accused him lost its existence. When the verdict was announced she was sitting in the neck-down posture with closed eyes, and the jury found that Heard’s statements about her marriage were ‘false’ and she acted with actual malice.

Many commentators emotionally parroting the same line that it would be a setback to the #metoo movement, but actually, it would not be because the real perpetrator is still behind the bars even after spending money, power, and what the things it requires to come out of the prisons and to get their reputations back than the Depp did. Power players Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey are two of them.

But, Johnny Depp has become the torchbearer of domestic violence against the men. The trial set a real-time example to the men to come out and fight against the conspiracy of some selective women so that they would not attempt to go upstairs in their careers over false allegations.
