Reflections on a Public Figure: What Would You Say to Amber Heard?

When considering a response to Amber Heard, it's important to approach the situation with empathy and a nuanced perspective. Here’s a detailed look at potential sentiments and responses.

Empathy and Understanding

One perspective might be to offer support and empathy, acknowledging the complexity of the situation:

I would say to her, ‘Listen, your testimony has my sympathy, although you may be “hamming it up”. I believe Johnny Depp assaulted you, but your appearance on the Corden show didn’t look as though you had been seriously injured. I have been head butted a few times, and I guarantee that you would show more damage and bruises, especially around the eyes. Additionally, why did you not complete your promise about giving your entire divorce settlement to two charities? Just give me a valid reason. You might be acting, and I think you are probably volatile, but I know men and Depp falls into the category of a drunken bully with lots of sycophants propping him up. You might both be as bad as each other, wasting millions of dollars on a “vanity” case for your careers. Why don’t you both settle externally and give the savings to a children’s charity or a domestic violence charity, please!!’

Amateur and Dumbness Criticism

A critical voice might point out her perceived deficiencies:

‘Next time you pick a boyfriend or girlfriend, don’t pick one as dumb as a rock with the personality of one. Or you’re just gonna bang your head against the wall again. A lot of people don’t believe you, but I do. I think you’re sincere. I know you can be angry and aggressive, but you have a fiery personality and you’ve been hurt so it’s natural. I feel for you. Good luck.’

Cynical and Rejection

Another approach could involve outright rejection and cynicism:

‘Absolutely nothing. I wouldn’t recognize her if she walked past me in the street.’

Support and Harm Questioning

A more supportive stance might question motives but still offer support:

‘I’d tell her that she was sensationally brave to try and expose a huge celebrity like Johnny Depp, but I would also tell her, “god help her” if she’s exaggerating the truth.’

Direct and Poignant

For a wholly honest, direct response:

‘Honey, you can sh*t in my bed anytime you want.’

Philosophical and Historical Reflection

A more philosophical and historical approach might offer a deeper insight:

‘Sorry but I really have no idea not one what I could say. A philosophical turn of phrase, a lesson from history, or a question of her motives. Once again, sorry.’

Conclusion

When addressing public figures like Amber Heard, it’s crucial to consider the context, the depth of the issue, and the intent behind one’s words. Whether offering support, critique, or silence, the response must resonate with authenticity and sensitivity.
