The only ones that know for sure are those involved...however, evidence will always be there.
I do not believe that Amber Heard is a gold digger. Amber Heard has been working since the age of 16 and was in twelve films by age 22. She is seeking fame not money. Fame brings money but in this case Amber Heard has talent.
I sadly have been around people that think they are the ones that are normal. They are the ones on drugs, they are the ones on booze, they are the ones doing impulsive things.
If anything, I think Amber Heard wanted the abuse hidden, but documented hence, many of the videos of the alleged abuse.
I mean Johnny Depp lost his case against the Sun in the UK. Solicitors proved the allegations of abuse. His former solicitor accidentally gave up Johnny Depp's intimate text messages and it was all revealed - the head butt, the videos supporting her hellish nightmare married to Depp, his crazy text messages about burning Amber's body (I cannot repeat it because its disgusting).
The age difference and his jealousy of her male and female relationships along with not being able to control Amber's actions, thoughts and emotions makes for the spiral they are now in.
I really was on Depp's side but after reviewing and reading up more, referencing my education and training and taking my own life experiences into account, I do not believe Amber Heard is lying about the alleged abuse. If anything, these court cases have hurt her and her future career opportunities.
And if you think that actors, entertainers, celebrities, athletes do not use alcohol or drugs, look at all of them that are caught by authorities - imagine the REST that are not caught!!!!
Everyone has issues and we all self medicate to make life tolerant. Johnny Depp has his own demons and maybe he needs to do some self care. I hope they both get their lives on track.
