You’re entitled to your opinion and that’s what it is. An opinion. You are not a psychologist. Armchair diagnostics do not make you qualified to say she’s a sociopath or histrionic. That’s why I said "possibly". Because I recognize she has something going on but also that I am not qualified to ascertain what.
Johnny Depp does not have a clean record. Jennifer Grey and he were engaged for a short time and she has spoken about the Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde personality split due to drugs and about his jealousy, manipulative and erratic behavior, lies, and love bombing type behavior.
I recognize misogynistic dog whistles when I hear them, sir. So you can just give up on that swaying me any. You’re telling on yourself.
Like it or not, he has a checkered past. Other than Vanessa Paradis, he’s never had a relationship last more than 4 years. He proposed to Jennifer Grey after dating for 2 weeks. She spoke of "twinning". When she broke off their engagement, she left a note on a hotel bed. That’s telling, despite what she says publicly.
Kate Moss spoke about his violence, though in that case she didn’t say he hit her but he smashed up a hotel room. There are records as charges were filed. She seemed very weak an indecisive at the time which may have been what kept her safe. His first marriage to Lori Anne Allison also lasted only 2 years. In fact, the only exes who haven’t spoken of him in coded (dual)language is Sherilyn Fenn, they were (maybe) engaged for 3 years and Winona Ryder who he was with for 4 years.
As far as I can tell all of these women ended the relationship with him not the other way around. Women don’t typically leave fulfilling and happy relationships. If it was just one, I’d say maybe she was a flake and he’s well shot of her. But this is a pattern with him, and he bounced from one to the next with little to no down time between them. I wouldn’t date him based on that alone, unless I was just looking to date for fun. I still wouldn’t date him because of the drugs. He’s a mess I don’t want to be burdened with cleaning up after.
I think it’s pretty clear that in addition to the addiction he’s got some deep rooted problems. I doubt he would be such a hard core addict if he didn’t. I do feel compassion for him.
I’ll say it again. None of this make him evil. It makes him a man with problems that have led him on a path of destruction.
I find it telling about you and those who are doling out this heaping helping of mob justice that you count a lie from a troubled woman as more severe than rape.
He did rape her multiple times. That cavity search looking for his drugs? Rape. Forcing her to give him oral sex? Rape. Throwing her on the bed in a drug fueled rage and having sex with her when she said she didn’t want to? Rape.
You should consider moving past binary thinking. You’re blinding yourself and shooting your own credibility in the foot. But you do you.
