OK, now she's really ticking me off... along with the entirety of NBC... BBM, @Kavya01 , you will looove this...
Speaking about the alleged abuse in their relationship, Heard said, “I never had to instigate it, I responded to it. When you’re living in violence and it becomes normal, as I testified to, you have to adapt.”
When Guthrie pushed back, saying that Heard spoke of starting fights on recorded audio, Heard said, “I know much has been made of these audiotapes. They were first leaked online after being edited. What you would hear in those clips are not evidence of what was happening. It was evidence of a negotiation of how to talk about that with your abuser.”
Guthrie continued by reading some of said transcripts, to which Heard responded, “As I testified on the stand about this, when your life is at risk, not only will you take the blame for things that you shouldn’t take the blame for, but when you’re in an abusive dynamic psychologically, emotionally and physically, you don’t have the resources that, say, you or I do with the luxury of saying, ‘Hey, this is black and white.’ Because it’s anything but when you’re living in it.”
When Guthrie asked about Depp’s denial that he never hit her, and if that statement was a lie, Heard said, “Yes, it is.”
Ending the interview, Heard said, “I made a lot of mistakes, but I’ve always told the truth.”
