jan 31, 2020 - Roberta Kaplan Statement Johnny Depp 'vindictively' leaking the tape and trying to victim-blame Amber Heard

Description:

A spokeswoman for Heard accused Depp of 'vindictively' leaking the tape and trying to victim-blame their client.

'Anyone familiar with the dynamics of domestic abuse would immediately recognize what is really going on here. Throughout the extended tape recording that Johnny Depp vindictively turned over to the press, Ms Heard repeatedly attempts to placate Mr Depp, ignore his accusations, and force him to acknowledge what was really happening in their relationship,' the spokeswoman said.

'For Mr Depp, who lived and lives in an echo chamber of his own making, to try to twist this private conversation to suggest either that he didn't abuse Ms Heard or that she somehow 'deserved it' is nothing more than the latest misogynistic effort at victim-blaming.'
