@Charm
She clearly seduces the leading men in her movies. Most significant others would catch on, and be mad about it. He may have been an asshole, but she's describing him as possessed.
How can she lie about James Franco when we saw the video? It was a different day, but clearly the same man.
All of Johnny's audio recordings were of her begging, and pleading, for him to not walk away from an argument. Undeniable. Yet in her testimony she's a quiet church mouse blinded by love.
BIB - not to mention mocking him, calling him a coward & a baby for not staying to finish the fight/s she started. Getting pedantic about not punching him but admitting she was hitting him instead like that was somehow better. Him locking himself in a bathroom to get away from her, telling her he was walking away so the fight didn't escalate. Not the words/reactions of a serial abuser (imo) but someone abused & trying to placate & keep the peace & get the hell away knowing what would happen if he didn't. There's evidence he wanted to get clean, went for detox while she kept drinking around him & taking drugs while berating him for his addictions. I'm assuming he is clean now & has been for a few years?
Even ignoring her 'testimony' which comes across as so fake, the things that stand out to me -
1) his story has never deviated & he allowed all his devices to be examined despite them being incriminating & showing what a fucking toxic fuck up & verbally abusive prick he can be when off his head. Again, (imo) not the actions of a serial abuser who would attempt to keep any incriminating shit hidden.
2) She on the other hand didn't allow all her devices to be examined
& her story keeps changing.
I'm not defending his actions & I sure as hell don't doubt he was a toxic nightmare to live with. There's audio/video evidence of him screaming/shouting, being incoherent, smashing stuff up, etc but ... I haven't seen
any evidence from her that matches the allegations of bodily harm she said he committed on a regular basis. The bottle incident alone would have resulted in multiple visible cuts & abrasions not to mention a potentially serious internal injury. Not the kind of injuries easily hidden plus she wouldn't have been able to walk normally.
I think he was actually quite vulnerable
because of his addictions & I think she used that against him. He was clearly only thinking with his dick & ego when he got with her. I think this trial for him isn't about $$$ - it's about trying to clear his name, get his story out there, be heard (sorry!) but my opinion is just that, an opinion, I just know who I tend to believe more & it ain't Amber.
