Amber Heard & Johnny Depp

Ok so it's time for a rant™. TL;DR - Johnny Depp is an abusive piece of shit; the media is trying to justify it and it's disgusting; the media is being incredibly biphobic and it's disgusting; if you still stan Johnny Depp unfriend me bye.
1) Johnny Depp - Abuser - Career will be ok
Chris Brown - Abuser - Career is fine
Sean Penn - Abuser - Career is fine
Charlie Sheen - Abuser - Career better than ever
Kesha - Victim - Career ruined and taken away from her.
I'm quite frankly appalled and absolutely sick and tired of men in hollywood getting away with some horrific abuse towards partners while victims who speak out get completely ostracised. Why would any girl speak out when they see what's happening to kesha for speaking out? Why would any girl speak out when Amber Heard who has been granted a restraining order and has significant evidence submitted is being accused of lying by the media and general public? 

The media is running stories such as "Johnny Depp works a charity gala while Amber Heard goes to court"; "Amber Heard filed for divorce 2 days after Depp's mother passed away"; "Depp helps woman with hearing aid while Amber Heard breaks down in court". JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS A GOOD OUTWARD APPEARANCE DOESN'T MEAN THEY CAN'T BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THEIR PARTNER AT HOME. Just because you want to paint him as a saint doesn't mean that he didn't beat Amber Heard and mentally abuse her too. 

'But statistics say women lie about this stuff all the time', no they don't. The statistics are under 2% of reported rapes turn out to be false. And rape/domestic violence is one of the most underreported crimes out there because victims don't think they'll be taken seriously and what a surprise when this is how women in the media are treated for speaking out. 

It's not even just the physical abuse either, he stopped her seeing her friends who were also LGBT+ which is clear evidence of controlling behaviour. And that brings me nicely onto point 2.

2) WHAT IS WITH THE BIPHOBIA IN THE MEDIA - bi friends have mentioned it before but I didn't think it was that bad? Just because she's bi doesn't mean that she is 'greedy' and wanted to cheat on him with girls? Like someone who's bi can be in a monogamous heterosexual relationship? 

Bisexual doesn't mean "Person needs to be in relation w 2 ppl of different genders at the same time" it means "person can be attracted to ppl of different genders" like please? She's bi she had LGBT friends because surprise that's what the B in LGBT+ stands for and bc surprise a lot of ppl are LGBT+ and you probably have at least one friend who is. Just because she was bi and pictured w other women who were also LGBT+ doesn't automatically mean she wanted to bang them because she's bi. 

And like even if Johnny Depp is that insecure of a man that he was so worried about her cheating on him with a girl that doesn't justify abuse? And that is still what we should be focussing on? I don't understand why everyone is ostracising Amber Heard because she's bisexual instead of ostracising Johnny Depp because he's an abuser?
