Nurse here. If I ever had any inclination that my patient is going through abuse I would write it out in DETAIL using exact wording the patient is reporting but also separating that from my personal observations of the patient. This is so sketchy that you see a giant empty box where it indicates to the tester to describe what happened in DETAIL, and in patients own wording! If I saw someone else’s work like this I’d seriously question this persons work ethics because it is AT BEST lazy but AT WORST, incomplete and NEGLIGENT
Nurse here too and agree 100%, that was my first thought when i saw that. Ive worked with people who do things like this and its usually laziness and just lack of care or take no pride in their work. For an expert/professional of her level that is very surprising to me and especially since she knew this was gonna be such a high profile case! Youd think she would have made sure everything was done 100% by the book. I would be embarrassed if my documents looked like that in court or even just at work.
At the very least she should have written 'please refer to document x dated y' so there is context for why nothing is put in there. Each document is stand alone when viewed so you cannot just leave important boxes without relevant inormation if you don't at least link to an associated report/document. Surely Dr Hughes was aware this was for a court case so should have been EXTRA careful when dotting the i's and crossing the t's on a document. In a (criminal) court in the UK this would be ripped apart by solicitors due to it not being properly completed. An assessment should be able to stand alone as a complete document. Other assessments/documents can be referenced for additional information and context but each should be able to stand on its own merits. She's paid $500 an hour to produce this? Jeez, I'm a non-qualified Healthcare worker and I'm paid £12 an hour by the NHS to produce a higher quality of documentation. Clearly I'm in the wrong business!
@@thriftynurse EXACTLY!!! At best it’s lazy, at worse it is negligent and completely does a disservice to the client because you are interpreting their expression, and not giving respect to their words and experience. She is very selective in what she reports what her client says, that is unethical. Just so sketchy I really doubt her professionalism
As a licensed clinical therapist who worked in a residential crisis center for people with thoughts of hurting themselves or others ANY time I completed a scale using a different time frame I ALWAYS indicated that in my clinical note her administering a test but not indicating this is writing is extremely disturbing. If you didn’t write it in your notes it didn’t happen!
As a biochemist, I think that Dr Curry is more credible based just on how she explained her administration of the PTSD and personality disorder tests to Amber Heard… Dr Curry described her methods and the language was about what she did generally which means that her methods were repeatable. Repeatability is so important in science!
@@deborahduthie4519 I figured it would be. The biochemist part wasn’t a flex so much as it is a specific perspective I brought to my replay. It was something I hadn’t seen people talk about in the comment threads and I felt happy I could bring something new to the party! Turns out this was something Mr Dennison was interested in too
I wont even go that far. The difference between the two is Curry would just answer questions to the best of her abilities. With this lady, she's manipulating questions asked and statements made, so that they're always going to empathize with Amber. At times she's very sloppy at doing this. You can tell she's walking a tight rope where she's almost, nearly, might be, lying for Amber. This is without even diving into her professional history and how its clearly very biased and she holds an agenda. Quite honestly, i'd love to see a medical review board investigate her.
@@undergrounddojokeyboardcag701 Are you referring to her gendered language? I’ve seen some psychologist Law Nerds saying that this use of gendered language is not SOP at all. Or is it something like making conclusions about Miss Heard being a DV victim based on literature? Maybe I’m misunderstanding and examples help. Love the chat I do remember how much they emphasized that Dr Hughes was board certified whereas Dr Curry wasn’t. After this, I definitely don’t think that denotes a higher degree of conduct professionalism. This was like a master class in that notion. What kind of things could come from that kind of investigation?
That's happens all the time and not by experts. This woman is biased af and doesn't seem to care too much about the man's side when it is an alleged man on woman violence.
With therapists they are honorbound to believe in their clients and work with what they tell them, however she undeniable is taking a very biased approach with this testimony.
@@Flowerhag In treatment you are correct, you are supposed to take what your clients say at face value, unless they have some sort of narcissistic or antisocial personality disorders. However, as a forensic psychologist, the job is to bring facts and science about the personality -and possible trauma- disorders of the people implicated, and correlate that to what's being alleged. In this case, she definitely should've met with JD, and she should have done several psychometric tests just like Dr. Curry did with AH, after she met with JD. Her testimony is incredibly biased, lacks scientific foundation, and honestly sounds a lot like gossip at least in my opinion.
She only needed her notes to refer to the factual information. She was able to recite the slanderous subjective events thoroughly. Clearly, she came to sling mud.
Exactly! She said she testified on behalf of --- get this --- ONE man. lolololol She even said she evaluated their marriage, which was based on hear-say, without seeing or talking to Johnny. How on earth can you evaluate a marriage based on one person's word, when there's two people involved? There's so much wrong here. She's very bitter, angry and combative, just like Amber.🤷♀
I am trained to administer many standardized tests. You are supposed to follow them precisely. That’s why they are called standardized. 🙄 another professional may only see that form. It’s supposed to pass what is often called “the stranger test” meaning a stranger would have all the info they need.
@@michelledean6850 because she dresses raunchy, and acts trashy & when you do that you are inviting the sexual attention! She didn't just invite it, she brought it home when Johnny was gone! My daughter & her beau were having issues with guys out in public ogling her! I said maybe watch the exposed cleavage baby! Problem solved! She started dressing honoring herself, & she got the same response! Her beau was able to go out in public with her feeling like he wasn't going to have to brawl half the guys out there! Not all guys ogle! Some give an admiring look & move on!
What drove me crazy is Heard’s psychologist said multiple times in her testimony “Amber truthfully stated…”. She seems incapable of considering whether Amber might have lied to her during her self-reporting.
The fact she has to add the word 'truthfully' in my opinion shows her need to convince people, if she really trusted the statements of Amber, why would she add this word?
It is clear that Dr. Hughes is less of a doctor an more of an activist. It is clear that she picks and chooses the validity of a report based on whether or not it matches her own prior belief.
Ghat's exactly how i feel. I found her very interesting, clearly very knowledgeable, experienced and qualified, but i cannot shake the feeling that she is immensely biased. Looking at her experience, it is very understandable, but it does not matter if that is born from her practical experiences. You do NOT treat a case based on (quantitative) statistical data. Also, the descriptions of her methodology make me want to rip my hair out...
I would be banging my head if I was on this jury. I like how cross is done in movies, just ask 10 questions and then the first time you reach a gotcha moment which i believe happened in the first 3 minutes; the first time an audience member makes a gaffe of disgust for the witness, he should have said uh-huh, then just as the defense was welcoming her they should have dismissed her and said no further questions. You think she's valid, we're not worried about her and we proved it in 5 minutes. So prove it by dismissing her. Sooner than later
@@imalwaysright1408 well you using the term "woke" as a bad term because that's the agenda the people that don't want to discuss other's viewpoints or even acknowledge other's existence, and experiences, is ridiculous.
@@bethanychatman9531 - Using “woke” as an agenda is 100% accurate… especially in the University setting. It is indoctrination into a cult. Woke doesn’t allow for any other opinions. Woke only allows the narrative! It is violence. Your reaction proves all of my above statements. How long since you have attended University? Do you have any children currently in University?!
Exactly! The lawyer should have immediately asked her "If"?!?!? Was this Ambers voice yes or no?! Why would she challenge the authenticity of the audio tape?!? Maybe because Johnny recorded her this time?!?... He really missed more than one real opportunity to shed a really big spotlight on all those inconsistencies, lies, her bias, her unprofessional and subjective aproach,... What a shame! 😩😞😖
@ʕง•ᴥ•ʔง have you considered that both men and women can be hurt by shit like this?? it discredits women and reenforces that men wont be believed. domestic abuse is something that happens to people regardless of sex, gender, ect. its not exclusive to one kind of person and there isnt such thing as a “perfect victim”, so can you please fucking get that through your thick skull???
She did not turn over her notes but shoved huge file into her purse & only removed specific docs after Elaine almost discombobulated flying over witness stand to reach her 1st. Not suspish but guilty AF. People noticed.
I think Dr. Hughes testified yesterday that she DID administer a test to look for feigning but she heavily skewed the results to 'correct' for the responses of abuse victims appearing as if they're lying when they're not. That's why Amber scored a "zero". She might have scored higher, but Dr. Hughes then discounted all of those points. This stood out to me because, as a scientist, I know this isn't how you analyze data. There should have been questions baked into the test to account for this. You don't just get the raw score and then subtract an arbitrary amount because of an opinion that a specific client should be given the benefit of the doubt. It comes across as the clinician wanting the score to be zero and making it so after the fact. If Dr. Hughes isn't going to cite actual research showing this is standard operating procedure across her field, it comes across as bias. The test is the test and the score is the score. As someone who made a living analyzing scientific data, this felt off to me. Very wibbly wobbly.
I can't wait for Dr. Curry to get up on the stand and rip apart Hughes' (I can't in good conscience refer to her as a Dr) "evaluations" and "procedures", especially as a PTSD expert
@@Kayrim_Borlan Well, if she has the PhD, she's a doctor, regardless of how we feel about her. As someone who used to work with a lot of PhD's - the good, the bad, and the ugly - it doesn't bother me to use that honorific. It's moot to me. If she graduated with a PhD, she's a doctor.
@@m0L3ify I appreciate that perspective! We've got psychiatrists & psychologists in the chats speaking but I was confused about that bit when she was speaking on Data but said you have to skew it & it sounded to ME like she was stating that you have to adjust for the fact that they are not typically believed or lie. & I was like 🤔 wait what? How do you accurately & scientifically skew data for liars & it be actually correct! Or skew the data for me bias when you're perpetuating more biases. I just don't have much respect or like for this witness. She seems very unprofessional & biased.
@@Amber-yq9ee Exactly. If you want to correct for that, you'd bake it into the questions such that the answers would subtract points on their own and anyone could give the test and interpret the results the same way. It's very odd to me that you'd give a test, get a score, and then subtract points afterwards based on whether someone claimed they were abused or not. To be fair, my Cognitive Behavioral research was done more in animals, but we did review these types of things in my college Neuroscience and Psychology classes (I was a Neurosci major) and I've never seen this type of skewing done before, especially based on self-reporting like that. I'd definitely like to know what the accredited psychologists think because it's just odd to me. Doesn't seem like standard operating procedure.
I've been tested and had the test provider report that according to the test I have 0 symptoms and diagnosis. They then compared this to notes from my interviews and hypothesized that I under report my symptoms when tested. (What Dr Curry referred to when she talked about people unintentionally trying to report less symptoms). They talked to me about this to understand how I thought when I did the test. And then they did a different test after they had a talk with me to understand how I thought. They then compared the new test with the old one, and both with my interviews and considered if this supported their first hypothesis. They then did a few other tests after these two and then concluded my way of answering the first test was a symptom in it self and that all the tests together with the interviews indicated a diagnosis. So if Dr Hughes felt like the ms Heard was answering "wrong", she should have given other tests (like Dr Curry) to prove her feeling. Not just correct it (unless the test it self has that as a possibility, which it doesn't seem like).
Doesn't seem so to me, they ask very general questions with which she can respond with what a professional should respond with, mostly anyway, instead of examining specific statements she made that were drowning in bias.
Emily, I like your comments but it would be helpful if yu paused the video when yu talk because it’s hard to hear the video IVER your talking. Just a suggestion,
@@giupiete6536 But they did call out her bias. Like the pronouns, never meeting Johnny Depp but speaks like she has and that she was around during their fights, or how she met with Amber after being sued, etc.,
@@marieharris1230 I agree ☝️ with you 100% absolutely love Emily, her voice is very soothing and I too appreciate the “Curssy Words” lol but I had a hard time hearing what was said at times because of the voice over.

And totally non bias. Which says alot. I've picked up more things the 2nd time around. Missed quite alot of stuff. And everytime you watch it you catch stuff you missed.
Licensed therapist here🙋🏻♀️ In my 20+ yrs of clinical experience, I’ve honestly not seen any client w/ PTSD related to partner violence & abuse of any kind react quite like Heard has up until this point. While there can be wide variation in how survivors present over time & there’s not a “right” or “wrong” way to speak or act, there are patterns of presentation that are seen more often, that’s all. With such detailed & graphic descriptions, especially from Dr. Hughes, it’s not as common to see a survivor maintain a stone-faced & stoic facial expression after hours & days of hearing horrific details of their abuse. I’ve seen many survivors present in a detached & expressionless way, but there is usually a crack that occurs at some point, even if it’s subtle. In the face of day after day of focusing on & describing horrific & graphic details in a public arena such as a court room, it’s common to see some crack or shift, even if subtle. I haven’t seen any shift from Heard yet, except in her dress & hair styles & that seems bizarre & calculating in how she’s mirroring Depp &, at one point, Dr. Curry. If you look at Depp’s presentation over the same period, there’s a detached quality similar in parts to Heard’s, but we see multiple small cracks/subtle changes in Depp’s affect, behavior, eye contact, tone of voice, & more. Many survivors find it more bearable to share about the abuse if they detach their feelings from the actual event(s). It can be protective to a degree, particularly in children, but some survivors continue to present like this for years if they don’t receive any help & support. With that kind of detachment, there is often some dissociating as well, but it’s not as common for a survivor to maintain that same stance for hours & days, & in the face of so many intense triggers, recounting details of the abuse, & while strangers are watching. For many survivors, it doesn’t get much more triggering than what happens in a courtroom. It’s more common to see survivors rush thru &/or skip over details while recounting so they can be finished, & often need guidance & genuine support to be able to slow it down while still maintaining a level of emotional safety. In a person like Heard who is highly reactive emotionally as a baseline - which has been repeatedly presented in the evidence & witnesses so far - those cracks show up somewhere, even if it’s just a subtle change in facial expressions. The person who looks & behaves most like a survivor of partner abuse is Depp. The contrast b/w the two of them is glaring, imo. Depp presented in a detached way for much of his testimony, but there were multiple, small variations in body language, tone of voice, speech volume, eye contact & more. I went into this trial wanting to believe Heard as I didn’t know all of the specifics & it didn’t occur to me that Heard could be as manipulative, cruel, dishonest & calculating to do all that she’s done. For someone who has been as cold & abusive to a partner as Heard has been (we’ve listened to lots of audio to this effect, & some video & texts), there is almost always some kind of past abuse pattern. The fact that Depp is 58 yrs old & has never had any intimate partner or other female accuse him of any physical abuse makes it very difficult to believe that he suddenly became this monster when he met Heard. Also, since his divorce from Heard, there has been nothing in the press (that I’ve seen) about other females recounting similar experiences & behaviors from Depp. In over 20 yrs of practice, I’ve never worked w/ any client, male or female, who suddenly becomes a cruel & rage-filled abuser mid-life, absent a significant & profound injury or event such as a traumatic brain injury. In my experience, there has always been past incidences of some type of abusive &/or violent behavior, & more often than not, there is an identifiable pattern. Heard, on the other hand, has a pattern of intimate partner abuse as the perpetrator and cruelty and abusive behavior towards others as well. The math seems clear to me on this though I’m certainly watching the rest of the trial.
I am still on the fence about this trial and all, but these kind of comments irritate the hell out of me! Whether she is lying or not, people commenting about how "In my years of (insert field here), I have never seen a victim react like her! This is not, real victim behavior!" This is so damn harmful and ignorant to suggest a victim must behave in certain ways to be believed, and I'm shocked someone in your field would say this. Amber is guilty, that much is clear, let the evidence take her down, not some bullshit regarding "Real Victim Behavior"
@@yorozuya1992 - All I said in my previous comment was the truth as I have experienced, not that it was true for all survivors & certainly not that survivors have to fit in to some defined mold to be believed. With every abuse survivor I’ve worked with, I always emphasize that there is no right or wrong way to process the trauma or to speak about it formally or informally. There can be a wide range of feelings, behaviors, facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, & more, & it’s critical to look at all of the factors that relate to a client’s trauma, & not make sweeping conclusions from isolated parts. I thought I made that clear, but if you got a different message, I apologize for not making my wording more definitive. Going forward, I’ll be more cognizant of what I’m writing, & try & make sure I take extra time to proof & edit any comments before posting. I work very hard to not make any comments that would trigger feelings of shame in any of my clients who are survivors of trauma.
@liseklerekoper2441 Between you and the person who said she hates your kind of comment. With your experience, you are the most qualified to speak on this. I'm a rando but I have mental health issues. Everything you said is correct.
2:47:00 As a survivor, what Amber did by contacting her therapist after an incident, _DOESN'T_ mean she was seeking therapy as the victim. With a _VERY_ smart ABUSER (who's trying to cover their tracks), it's NOT uncommon for them to schedule appts, talk with friends/family, to try to make themselves look like the "victim," when they know damn well, that they were actually the aggressor. I get that most people won't understand this unless they've been through it, but in cases where somebody has a history of being the Abuser, it's _not_ uncommon for them to get smarter and smarter with trying to cover their tracks and create their own narrative for later on down the road, when the relationship ends. Manipulation is key with a lot of Abusers... _(for ppl who haven't been through this, hopefully this isn't too hard to understand)_ 😔
We know Amber Heard is scrappy and a survivor. Apparently her childhood was awful and she was able to survive and even push herself into a good position in life. I distrust that she had no help doing it, but it's still incredibly tenacious to tackle Hollywood at 17. What I find incredulous is her account of not knowing anything about Johnny Depp. Lol. She's working on being a professional actor and doesn't know one of the biggest names in Hollywood? Nah.
Absolutely. It’s so hard watching this as a survivor and seeing the general public miss so many signs. Amber and this therapist are betraying survivors across the world.
Ben Chew had said that Dennison was the one who did the cross for JD when they did a mock trail to see how JD would be. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in that room 👏🏼 probably did a better job then Rottonborn 😂
Diagnosed CPTSD survivor over here, this entire case has been incredibly triggering for me and I can’t help but notice the similarities between amber and my abuser. The things she said, the way she reacts to Johnny on the recordings, even her facial expressions are so similar to the way my abuser would react to me. He would always accuse me of overreacting or exaggerating and he never “hit me that hard” or “if you try to tell anyone I’ll just say it was self defense”. I felt so powerless and really believed no one would believe me if I spoke out. Victims DO NOT react like Amber, they react like Johnny. Even though every DV situation is different, the behaviors are almost always the same. Which sucks because I really wanted to believe her and support her when she first came out. For some reason I just couldn’t get behind her like I do with every victim, there were just way too many red flags. But her nail in the coffin were the recordings for me. A victim would NEVER speak to their abuser like they EVER especially if they were concerned of being hit. People seem to forget physical abuser literally will not start without emotional/mental abuser has already taken place. Abusers well wear you down till you’re completely isolated with no self esteem, THEN they hit you. We need to remember it’s not the act of hitting that the abuser likes, it’s the total domination and control they have over their victim. This is why so many were able to pick up on Amber’s red flags and why the public opinion shifted. Most of us who have actually been the victim can see right through all her lies. She manipulated us the same way she manipulated Johnny which is why we’re all angry. She should be charged criminally for her past actions. What she did is NOT ok and she made a mockery out of all the work victims and advocates have done to raise awareness of the severity of DV. She deserves accountability
@@hannahreed2451 so sorry for what you've been through 🥺. You're absolutely right about the patterns of abusive relationships and the development of the behavioral patterns of an abuser. Sending you light and caring 💖.
@@hannahreed2451 I'm sorry you had to go thru that! I hope you have been able to heal as MUCH AS possible! Love & hugs!!💕❤️ & I agree w\you. I couldn't believe when that Dr said that it's false that victims wouldn't yell or start arguments for fear. She said that was untrue & that oft-times victims will yell & fights & pick fights bc they are used to the physical abuse & they get angry. But I've NEVER seen that. I'm not a doctor BUT victims will are being abused to the level she alleges would never intentionally draw attention to themselves & agitate or instigate an argument bc they are afraid. Now there's cases where the women are also very violent & physical & engage in that as well & they aren't afraid. Tho typically in those instances the woman is the more violent of the 2 & the guy is typically the more passive & just reacting. But in those cases I wouldn't describe the woman as there victim.
@@hannahreed2451 exactly!!! Those of us that have had abusers can see that Amber is the abuser. Funny how ALL the evidence of everything isn't there to back her up yet she takes pictures of EVERYTHING?
This expert seems more interested in being AH’s friend than a therapist. Her description of events that she couldn’t really have known about was more like gossip than testimony.
The desire to be AH's friend I may even digest...I suspect this "relationship" is way beyond friendship, it's more of a projection!! Somehow wires got crossed, I could clearly see AH to be (like) her in a few yrs... & perhaps this "muffin" sees herself in AH!
Perhaps it was not like gossip, but true projection instead (she saw herself as Amber)! How else does she remember all these fictive details, but not other important things that was apart of her job description? One word: coucou!!! I'm so scared about those "unstable" humans who are courtordered to go through her hands. They will all feel like Jack Nicholson how he felt in *One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest* 🙊
I do have to note that women with certain borderline personality traits (I say women as I don't know any men with it) can get very very over-attached very quickly. Especially to therapists. You can imagine why. Here's a person - a therapist - who really seems to care about you and doesn't judge you in any way. You experienced a lack of love and caring, or perhaps severe abuse as a small child, and it damaged your ability to form healthy attachments. This can mean you're starving for that validation, approval and care, just as a small child seeks approval from adults. In theory, Hughes should have been prepared for this as she says she's more clinical than academic, she does work in trauma, and certain early life traumas can result in a person developing a personality adaptation. However, if she didn't think Amber had cluster B traits, she may not have been as careful as she should have been. I've experienced an intense desire to protect friends of mine with BPD because of the way they interacted with me, and I've had to be incredibly careful that I didn't end up fighting their battles for them. It's a similar feeling you get when you see a tiny, scared kitten. This may sound weird, but it's basic transactional analysis - like if someone acts like child, you may start acting like a parent in response, or if somebody starts patronising you and treating you like a kid, you may respond like a child. This is so common a phenomenon that sometimes, when there's a person in need of therapy who has BPD, three therapists may work with the client in rotation in order to prevent this over-attachment. There's always one therapist monitoring the other two. As far as I can remember from what I was told, one therapist treats, one therapists rests from providing the treatment, and one therapist monitors. Then they switch places. This may be completely irrelevant to this situation - we don't actually know whether Amber has BPD and HPD (although we know the scores on the MMPI-2 were consistent with that, according to Dr Curry) and we don't know if over-attachment happened. I'm just saying it can happen.
I’m sorry you suffered that and I have thought the same…. Throwing the letters around like they are butter on bread sure does water down a horrific illness that many fall ill to. Much love and healing hugs your way
Extremely sorry you had to deal with that. It’s the most disgusting secret about our military that isn’t talked about enough. I really hope you’re okay.
I am SO glad she was called out on her specific bias in her “assessment”. It was infuriating to sit through using female terminology the entire time! I thought my head would explode! AH is the abuser for sure. It’s so sad for so many reasons.
What abuse? She recorded everything but can't produce any photos of injuries or scars that she should have from all the broken glass as she is thrown on the floor that's covered with shards of glass and she is naked. She did say she slipped on the glass. Seriously? She is snorting coke on the stand and sneaking liquor in her pockets. Her acting is awful. I survived real DV.
@@morganderose3491 not the same thing. She's an "expert" she's supposed to explain symptoms and diagnosis not pretend like she knows what occurred between this couple. She knows only what Amber told her of the "incidents of abuse" she's speaking as if she was there. Amber could and let's face it, is lying so she should treated something as she said not the truth.
I have never really cared about trials or shows about the justice system but watching this trial has been fascinating, not only for the drama but for seeing how a trial works. Thanks for breaking it down for us.
expect the whole trial is a constant shitshow neither party has enough shame.,…regardless this is absolutely not what normal court is like, its a clown world lol
I'm x police UK and you do not access any case without getting both sides of the story......this woman is so biased and unprofessional.....when her voice goes up a tone she is getting agitated and rattled....Her attitude is How dare you question me I'm the expert here.....but she's not as bright as she is trying to make out.
I was thinking the same exact thing!! She made a few rude comments that made me think she definitely thinks she's smarter than JD's lawyer. And that she can do those tests in they way she pleases and to not question her about how she does it....
Yessss. This was my experience as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s. Took me ACTUAL therapy in my 20s and 30s to recover from that sort of therapy. Scary.
more than a month after the trial has concluded, and it is only now that I realized Emily wasn’t saying “judge” in her own way “judge-ayy” but rather she was saying “Judge A(zcarate)” 😅
This “psychologist” referred to man on man violence, woman on woman violence and man on woman violence, she persistently avoided acknowledging the idea of woman on man violence being a thing, and it was evidently deliberate. It was so satisfying to see JD’s team hit the ground running in bringing this up first & foremost, this person is clearly not a professional in her field, her obvious biases make her “formal opinions” invalid
@@rachaelleann9847 she wasn’t denying that it happens - she was replying to his questions about which evaluations she has testified about in court. she said explicitly at the outset that it exists in such gender combinations in the literature and her clinical practice.
Only been able to see some of the court case. Depps psychologist accepted his lawyers' word that she had borderline at depps dinner in his home, b4 even assessing her for the job to oppose AH..that means both dr hughes and depps psychologist ( who wasnt registered or apprived by the board of psychologist at the time), could both be invalid? Depp's psych was chosen to give them more insight about AH right ? I personally believe that sort of female was chosen for AH to react to, or feel familiarity with her esthetic appearance...perhaps amber, got sucked in from all angles. She was getting set up and controlled from someone? all his staff were controlling her, for transportation by car plane, accomodation, nursing, assistant, security...who is there paying boss? Is the lawyer setting up all the background to AH's controll or jd? The nurse tried to force her to be heavily drugged after the finger was found? Omg!!! I wonder if that is making Britney Squirm hearing all this control via mental health analysis and drug abuse by depps medics? What a nightmare of shocking events!

If jd is so innocent, would u let your young daughter ( or young son...he could also be another hidden bi_ sexual who hasnt come out...yet) share a future with him? They are both so ill. He is lucky he is rich n famous...he can afford all the resources. He is nearly 60? He has had so many years learning how to do business, legal, career deals...shes so young and insecure, immature...they thought she would be good for him...was he an innocent, straight guy at her stage in life? He never lied being an addict all his life? What did he have to do to score? Please take things into consideration. Why would he want too be with someone her age? If he was grieving for vanessa and their family life severed...hiw would someine who is suicidal, self harming react during ongoing episodes if rage during grief/loss cycles he possibly experienced . Please consider background,hx of mental health, behavioural issues, the type if people he was drawn to...very dark. If he walks away scott free...the message to anyone wanting to abuse someone behind closed doors, is go ahead, u can get away with it...victims will be too fearful of: truth being twisted, blamed , to report or speak out because of counter attacks. AH should not have publicised what happened. He must not win, any person violated and abused that has been framed and coerced will suffer. She will suffer post court case anyway. She is so young with a child to raise, please ease up on her. Let them deal with their demons, monsters and recover in privacy. Ive been falling asleep writing this its 3.15am in Oz , its very sad and bab
@@99balloons71 no Dr needs to be board certified to practice. It's nothing more than a beurocracy and has no bearing on a professional or their expertise or capabilities
@@99balloons71 I agree with so much of what you wrote. I’ve been writing similar comments about how no one seems to know how to remain unbiased and logic seems to be going out the window. I’ve been researching the FULL recordings (not just the deliberate clips used in court) and there’s one recording that JD himself took (you can hear amber is on speaker phone and his voice is the one present in front of the recorder) and in that phone call he tries to set her up by saying, “I lost a finger man!” And she says, “what are you talking about? You cut your own finger! When you busted the phone!” And that’s what she testified to on the stand (on day 15 or 16). Johnny Depp was my first male loce as a little girl and I will always love him. Im sorry im that way but I can’t help it. I used to have either the Cry-Baby or Edward Scissorhands VHS playing for me to go to sleep. My mom even rolls her eyes when I ask her about that cuz I used to scream and cry if I couldn’t have “my Johnny” to go to sleep to. So my love for him is deep lol. But I can still be UNBIASED! It’s SO obvious that AH is GROSSLY over exaggerating the events and JD is GROSSLY minimizing his involvement in the abuse. And even IF he never touched a hair on her head, he’s already guilty of mental, emotional, and psychological abuse from what we’ve heard from the tapes submitted into evidence. And it blows my mind that people can’t see how powerful JD is. He clearly has the BEST legal team, PR team, etc. He is very intentionally making sure the world is on his side. This has been done extremely methodically and it is SCARY to see how the world is in this online herd mentality against AH. I believe she’s vile for all the crap she did as well, but the way people are saying “Johnny is just a gentle man and he’s the victim” while saying it was ALL her, completely ignoring everything we’ve heard him do in the tapes ALONE…that is freaking SCARY! And YES, exactly like another Marilyn! When a powerful man wants a woman to disappear, she disappears. At the end of that FULL recording of the phone call between JD and AH, Johnny says, “I am going to F you in court!!” And boy, he meant it.
My therapist and I have been using my sessions to discuss this case, it is so therapeutic. She’s a licensed therapist and I have degrees in law. It’s seriously so helpful and this channel is so amazing with handling things fairly!
@@tamaradavis2276 I hope so, it’s very therapeutic for me! We always address any and all immediate needs first but there are not always needs, except me needing to know she’s there. It’s nice to know I have someone to talk to ever week. I love being able to share my thoughts and hear hers. Especially because sometimes I wonder if I fall into certain categories. I chose therapy to better myself, better understand myself and better understand my relationships with others
I've talked about this case to my therapist too. It's been extremely therapeutic to me as well, I totally get it. I've been in an abusive relationship in the past and so has my boyfriend, few times, and I've seen it from both sides (my abusive ex was also abused by his ex), and we've had really great heart to hearts about this case together too
Replay Crew 🇦🇺: Hughes is not only unprofessional as an expert witness but as a psychologist. In tests like these, questions are asked multiple times, in multiple ways to check for continuity and malingering. That she dismisses a question because "it had already been answered", or because she was just doing part of it to check changes since the previous time is, frankly, contemptible - administer the test properly or don't claim to be using it. Clearly, Hughes manipulates her "clinical notes" to say what her employers want her to say.
I believe Dr Hughes gave tests to prove her hypothesises "PTSD" and "Non malingering". Vs Dr Curry allowing the data to determine the diagnosises. Cross wasn't as good as It could have been but I believe Dr Hughes helped JD more during her direct.
@@Cafe_Es_Bueno You're right - the cross wasn't good at all, he could/should have made it clear to the jury just how unprofessional she had been and, therefore, how unreliable her testimony was - they can't assume that the jury will just know that. Frankly, though, he was brought in because he's their expert ay handling expert witnesses so he probably just didn't know how to handle the fact that she hadn't testified as an expert witness should.
@@HandmadeDarcy Agreed. Many people are saying that they will recall Dr Curry. I feel if that is the case, they could have made a stronger points of challenges that Dr Curry could give credence to. They are placing a lot of assumptions on the jury. Or... Big Or. They were conserving time for AH???? 🤔
I wonder why Depp’s council didn’t bring up the fact that the psychologist obviously diagnosed Depp with “aggressive jealousy” with no foundation or running tests
My best guess is they're just planning to rip apart Hughes, her testimony, her notes, and every other document she provided when they get back to Dr. Curry
Maybe they are leaving that part to Dr Curry. Dennison did point out tho, that Dr Hughes never met nor did a psy evaluation of Depp, which she confirmed.
i agree with the sentiment but aggressive jealousy is not a diagnosis. but you are correct, she did speak of it as though it was the truth with no foundation.
There are cameras EVERYWHERE within their living property. Amber was never, never by herself! Who ever saw ANY injury upon her face or anywhere else? Pffft!!
No one ever seen it . She always sent pic like look what he did to her. I have dark circles under my eyes and when I take pic it look like a black eye. My mother would say that to me all the time. She tell me to find something to lighten it up cause it make me look like I have a black eye. Another thing is she claim to have gotten a broken nose before going on a show and on that show she scrunch her nose and make faces that if her nose was broken would put her in agony I hit my face on a wall and it left a big purple bruise on my left cheek and I couldn’t smile , frown and god for bid I sneeze I be in tears. She claim her nose to be broken and she make faces laughing smile through the show not even a wince.
@@stefanies.3745 not to mention 2 black eyes and major swelling she would have from a busted nose. she also said her lip was split, she would not have been smiling like that with a lip that was split open just the night before
The cross was brilliant. He excellently pointed out the discrepancies in her testimony and left it open ended for the jury to decide. So, like how we all were able to pick anomalies and her bias toward Amber, Jury are also like us. Also, he sometimes become more slow and stumbles to chose words carefully, which ultimately puts a good question. He was polite and didn't give a bad impression to Jury, unlike Amber's lawyer. Also, I think he was trying to make Dr. Hughes comfortable and carefree. Because too attentive means better planned answers. It's amazing watching Amber's lawyers before that they didn't have a single objection(other than that compound one lol) here. That's what a brilliant cross is.
Oh no! It’s *not* nit picky on those forms. EVERY SINGLE LINE should be filled out. Even a call back to WHERE you can find the information in her notes, date & page, at the very least is necessary but THAT is the lazy way. It’s absolutely inexcusable for her to have left those blank. On the LEFT she’s supposed to be answering how *often* the patient is having the symptoms. On the RIGHT she’s supposed to be answering how *severe* those symptoms are WHEN they are experienced. They are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. *edited to say: medical professional
I saw a video at the end of her testimony she quickly puts a thick green folder in her bag and then only hands over individual pieces of paper, shouldnt they have received the entire folder?!?!
There are channels who specifically highlighted that in videos, no worries. I'm positive if it matters then Depp's team will catch wind and address it behind closed doors if need be.
Emily, you short-change yourself--fact: You can, quickly, read & comprehend, while listening AND commenting on both. Insane multi-tasking. Great brain.
2:11:53 Dr. Hughes states “I can testify that he had physical acts of violence perpetrated on him as well as psychological aggressive acts perpetrated upon him”
That faint hint of a smug, self-satisfied smile on AH's face as a reaction to the picture of JD's severed finger really says it all for me. I think she dropped the facade for a moment there. It was as if she was saying to herself "yeah, I did that shit I enjoyed watching him suffer". She genuinely seems to have some pretty sadistic tendencies (not an attempt to disparage her, just an observation based on what I'm seeing). I hope the jury caught that!
Johnny was correct, when he stated that he thought he was chosen so Amber could ride his coat tails to the top in the industry. She was not well known well not for anything family friendly. Amber needing her friends around her even at Johnnys cost, the cleaning, repairing, no rent, I don't believe Johnny is stupid, he probably truly loved Amber,, she is a bully, & insecure. Amber gets excited when speaking of the altercations, I wanted to disappear, I just do not find Amber truthful, honest, apparently affairs with other men & women, even a couple of months after marraige..wow
Also watch AH when Rottenborn really starts hammering into JD. It's a look of great pride and delight. Like get him Ben!! Get him 😠. She enjoys cornering JD
I can not believe that door was not opened!!!!! This lady said yesterday she saw no evidence of prior aggression with Amber before JD. She definitely did. She knew who Tasha was. She knew about the arrest. I guarantee she would have made excuses for Amber’s behavior towards Tasha, her sister, prior employees. This witness left a bad taste in my mouth.
@@the_ravens_roomYes , I know that ! When I said hope the jury sees this or that , I mean , I hope they see what we see. As far as how her performance is
Drove 700 km. about 450 miles and this kept me awake throughout my journey to my destination. Im from Japan, I know who Mr .Depp is, but the only movie i watch is Edward Scissorhand. I don't know who ms. Amber is, yet this trial is in a way affecting me big time because i lived with this abuse! Saw my father being silent all those years, a lot of times left to avoid unnecessary arguments and uncalled for actions. Im over 50 now and still it saddens me to think that there are still some people who believe that women are more victims than men. Sorry for my english. Im learning
As a court clerk, that therapist knowing that paperwork would be presented in court and then explaining away blank spaces by saying oh that would be redundant, read my 80 pages of notes, I'm dying.
I think the cross did amazing. The entire questioning happened in a way he didn’t have to say, here’s bias, here’s bias, here’s bias, Dr Hughes did so herself in her answers.
Your coverage of this is so so SO helpful. Even as an attorney, this stuff is out of my wheelhouse. It’s also triggering, but hearing your voice over it makes it feel like I’m watching with a friend 🥰 (plus the law nerds are all great company)
You mean *false memories*? I think this is more complex even... I never saw a case when a "therapist" is the one projecting... so bizarre! Considering her impressive CV -after one paragraph listening in to this "muffin top" narrating her "assessment"- I seriously wonder how on earth did she acquire all her titles... perhaps at the Puyallup County Fair? This is ludicrous!!! Can you imagine how difficult it is to get a professional PTSD diagnoses even w/ all the documented horrific facts by "experts" (physicians, police officers, evaluators)??! Yet this "unqualified" -despite her CV- expert just happen to diagnosed AH w/PTSD, nonchalantly on basis of hearsay & a few sentences from others she randomly ripped out of context, while ignoring other statements.... as if she'd distributed poker cards for the next round of a poker game & then over x added some significant PTSD-keywords (& their frequency of course) that are characteristic for PTSD! NEVER EVER did I hear someone first stating "this is my diagnosis" & THEN tries to find the right puzzle pieces that strengthen her *guess* while at the same x "ignoring" relevant & related other statements/ additional or descriptive information [sic]! This is beyond malpractice even, it's insane! She's obviously insane! This woman needs to change jobs!
Why wouldn’t she administer the whole test. How could she score it if it wasn’t fully administered. I’m a nurse. I use various scales. I can’t score them if I don’t complete all sections. This woman gives “experts” a bad name. How can she determine AH has PTSD if she didn’t administer the test.
She can’t. The CAPS-5 test is the gold standard test for PTSD. It’s THE test that the VA uses for evaluating our service members when they have concerns of PTSD and other similar mental health concerns.
It's also a structured interview. She would have to perform this psychometric test in a very specific way because that's how it was validated. The way she performed the test does not seem appropriate, unless there's something I'm missing.
@@scottwade3600 I worked for the VA for 10 years and served myself. I currently receive my mental health care there also. While I worked there, I was a part of a committee that addressed how “disruptive behavioral situations” were addressed, so I got a pretty in depth education on testing that was used, techniques for de-escalation, actual patient ‘take-down’ techniques, and a bunch of other stuff. It was really fascinating. Kind of made me regret not going into the field when I was much younger and able to do so.
Did not care about this trial at all until my sister in law told me to come watch your channel. LOVE learning about this form of law. It’s not only helpful for my work as a paralegal, but also as a writer! Thank you for your insight!
Heard Expert: There were some things I disagreed with. Like I disagree with Laurel Anderson about it being mutual abuse. Depp Lawyer: So stuff you disagree with you disregard and the rest you keep. Correct? Heard Expert: That's not correct. Me: What? But you just... O.o
It’s fascinating that a supposed forensic psychologist would produce such a shoddy work product for a high profile case. It makes one wonder what her testimony in other cases looked like. Is it sloppiness or an underhanded means of introducing damaging hearsay to the jury?
You're so right. Any attorneys who have lost - or settled - cases in which she was used as an expert witness should be moving to have every case reviewed. As should any professional associations, let alone educational institutions, be reconsidering her competence. She is a hack for hire, with zero respect for the law or her profession.
I've had this same question in mind since she introduced herself as having testified in 50+ cases. If this is how she presents in a huge high level case, how many other cases has she swayed with her bias and negligent work? How many other victims have been punished for daring to stand up to their abusers because this psychologist decided "board certified" means more than ethical evaluations.
@@HandmadeDarcy maybe A. Has to be re-assessed and j. Assessed as well, i guess cant get the case ajourned,coz the info had to be gatvered b4, is that right? 🦖
@@Kiterpuss lots if things arent fair in life, A. Has been mocked qnd ridiculed as a result of her teams incompetence. She seemed so respectful the way she put up with all incomoetencies, mocking comments,insults qnd laughter from j. Then whe she was cross examined she completely changed, all emotiinal, nit really understqnding instructiins, just saying want she wanted to say...as if she wasnt guides much at all prior to being on stand. Maybe shed been on a to sober up...we must understand she is addicted to drug/alcohol. Any emotiin feom j.' S cross examinatiin would send her easily into a bender to mask the pain, attempt to driwnbthe anxiety,depression and ptsd. Her psychologist could have explained her mental state...A. wasnt guided to admit her adductions, maybe she thoucht she could do it ger own way...she has had to fight qnd survive trauma since childhood, she lay not listen to older people...who knlws hiw f#@%$&**! Up her life was andbher head is struggling to be balances and within the normal range, could that be a possibility? Shame she exaggerated, lied, got greedy, became unsupportive to j. as he became distant from her ( perhaps she has abandonment issues and goes straight into ptsd mode, flys off the handle etc... wanted to save the women, trusted him in madness and relied on his crew. What a shame she did that oped
It’s crazy that she said she had no prior instances of dv in a relationship when she has an arrest on file. She claims to use documents in her determination but she obviously go over enough
If you're referring to the 2009 arrest, it's because no charges were pressed, her Partner at the time said it didn't happen and that Amber was falsely arrested and in 2011 there was a request from her attorney to have her arrest erased from the records since she wasn't charged (apparently that's something you cancdo in Washington state). So as far as the courts are concerned it didn't happen.
Here on the replay super late haha. I stan Wayne Dennison. He’s well known here in Boston, argued some huge cases in this state. Wicked smaht guy, we love!
The medication option during J.D.'s rehab, turned into a Amber controlling scenario!! During a very very vulnerable and humble time in J.D's world. It's like we're seeing narcissism first hand!!
Makes an even bigger impression on the jury after how rude and aggressive Amber's lawyers were, definitely good for Johnny even if it wasn't intentional (although it probably is)
Not only that, but her alleged "PTSD" could have occured prior to her relationship with Johnny, especially considering the article written by her own hand that states she experienced trauma as a child.
She/Dr ignored the main standard tests which showed the diagnosis (PBD/HPD) or lack there of (PTSD) claiming results were normal, & put through her own checklists which were inappropriate
The only reason we’re learning about Amber and her behavior is because her latest victim ( JD ) happened to have vast resources of extreme charm, money and contacts. Anyone other than JD would have been completely destroyed by Amber. 😳
As a medical transcriptionist, I can’t believe how incomplete the medical records are! These are medicolegal documents! No Way - under my watch - would I have signed off on these notes. I would have sent the notes back to the doctor to complete!!!!
@@Kayrim_Borlan I actually think it was a last minute "assessment" that she did in her own time. I don't think she spoke to Amber at all, or at least not much about PTSD around the time that assessment was conducted. I'm wondering whether perhaps Heard's legal team realised by late 2021 that there wasn't an actual, solid assessment to measure Amber's supposed PTSD, went "Oh, shit" and went to Hughes to fill out the forms which she did poorly on.
“Oriented to a different time to complete a checklist …” is my new favorite saying. I’ll definitely remember that when my student loans don’t arrive “on time” .. “sorry, big bank, oriented to a different time…”
When she testified about giving a lecture to the local bar association she used the verbiage the victims as her or she. Ever time and that had nothing to do with this case at all.
One thing to remember is that for cultural reasons, men are much less likely to report domestic violence against them from a woman and are also much less likely to see a doctor about it if possible to avoid that.
@@jwoolman5 I agree that men are probably less likely to report. Unfortunately, Dr. Hughes is only making it more difficult for male victims to come forward and be believed. Her behavior and language is atrocious.
HI Emily! I know this is over a year old,I 've watched a bunch of your content ,even the series you've been doing recently about the side bars and NetFlix show. Basically a replay with other creators' footage being used. I finally subscribed to your channel. Guess I'm a Law Nerd now. Keep up the good work,take care and stay real!!!
Completely agree. I do the same and it actually helps me concentrate, increases my ability to recall what I'm hearing, and greatly decreases my anxiety.
She still has her own residence from before the marriage. It’s so tacky and gross that she took men to the ECB penthouse instead of her own place. Such a user.
As a replay crew member who is a survivor of childhood sa and who is severely disabled with PTSD (I’m 53) there is no distinction between PTSD from childhood or adult trauma, it’s just a big trauma stew!! Love your input Emily, Thankyou xxx
She used stereotypical gendered terms all throughout her definitional testimony. Not once, when defining terms, did she use gender neutral terms. The only time she implies a man can be a victim of IPV is within a same sex relationship. So she still seems to imply that only men can be the perpetrators of IPV, even if their victims are also male.
Question about the jury: What happens if a jury member is super expressive and like reacts out loud or their facial reactions are over-expressive? Because I would be sitting there gasping at everything lol
@@fostecc and this is why when im an adult my jury duty philosophy will be to show nothing and then get into an unreasonably passionate debate during the deliberation if i have to in order to properly express my thoughts and reasoning -._-.
It heavily depends on the judge. Sone juries are quite expressive and others are stoic. Sometimes judges will ask juries to refrain from being too expressive but everyone is human.
I’ve done jury duty. Everyone was quite solemn and we all bonded and tried to be open minded but stoic in the courtroom. This trial was wild though. Sounds like the jury was very good and we can thank the judge in part for being professional and formal with them. Jurors tend to follow the judges lead I think.
both forensic therapist and Amber by detailing humiliating acts that none of them have any proof is being abusive. I think JD attorneys letting them speak to show the world what a hack she is and Amber is clearly making Johnnys case but I am amazed by his courage. I get triggered by this stuff!
Honestly there have been times in this case where I needed a brake or just couldn’t hear it ,very triggering ! being a survivor of narcissistic abuse I’m so proud of Johnny’s courage!
Witness commented that she could determine who was the abuser in a relationship, by only hearing one side of the story! Shocking!!! Clearly a biased witness who came across to me as someone who hates men in general...
1:58:20 So Dr Hugh's expects us to believe that AH didn't tell her legal team that she was given the CAPS-5 by Dr Curry? I doubt that Dr Hugh's didn't find out, until Feb.
Hello. I just started watching this video, this is the first one I have ever seen of your videos, and I subscribed. I am 46 years old and studying for a law degree, a little late in life but better late than never lol. I look forward to watching your other videos because you seem knowledgeable and cool! Thank you ~ Wendy
Doctors and therapists don’t believe their clients like they’re saying. You can believe their perception is real to them. A good clinician requires proof, hence assessments and collateral. The psych witness is weak sounding. Very interested I Dr. Curry testifying again.
It is surprising a slew of her therapists would just take her word for it that she was so beat up. Where there's no Energency Room evidence no recordings nothing.
I agree with another posted comment about how hard it can be to find Emily’s feed. Even though I am subscribed, spend hours a day - it’s like UA-cam is not popping it in my algorithm. Makes me even more determined to only watch this 😊✌️
A thought I had about Dr. Hughes after yesterday's testimony: She seems to think the rules don't apply to her and she openly flaunts them. There is a faction in the APA who wants to take personality disorders out of the DSM VI when it's published because they're 'humanists' and don't want to hurt people's feelings with diagnoses. Translation: They have personality disorders and don't want to be called out on it anymore. Thinking the rules don't apply to you is a trait of Cluster B personality disorders. She also doesn't test for personality disorders. I wonder if Dr. Hughes is in this faction.
I got this vibe too. After she was breaking the notes rule over and over I couldn’t hear anything she had to say. I just kept thinking she can’t follow the directions that were asked of her.
As someone with BPD I can only say I wa sactually pretty relieved when I finally got my diagnosis. I knew something was very wrong with me, and I didn't function the way I should, and kept blaming myself for it. I developed unhealthy coping mechanisms, all under the umbrella of "I'm just a whimp, I need to pull.myself together". When I was diagnosed I finally felt validated. It helped in getting the right treatment and getting me on a path to deal with life in a much better way. There's certainly a ton of stigma out there, and cases such as these don't help, duh. But getting rid of it because it hurts feelings? What? Are we gonna stop telling people they have cancer to not hurt their feelings?
It's such a thrill to watch Emily's channel grow! I keep looking at her subscriber count and get so excited each time she hits another thousand! Can't think of a more deserving and hardworking queen! ❤️🥰❤️
I'm totally against abuse in any manner or form toward women, men, children, and animals, but something is not right with this woman. And the expert testimony I liked from the get-go was from Dr. Curry. She was more professional and detached from emotions to some degree whereas the other expert was too involved emotionally as a family member or friend would be. Of course psychologist care about the welfare of their patients but not to the degree of this nurse. When Amber started crying, the word that popped in to my mind was the word "feign". I'm an empathetic woman but something just doesn't sit right with me. Ms. Heard, undoubtedly, needs healing and so does Johnny, but I still say it again, that if anyone was abused, it was Johnny Depp not her! As far as the drugs and the liquor they both abused themselves. But Johnny was abused by Amber!
Right, and the testimony about Depps demeanor while under the influence was so important… he goes super mellow not confrontational. Until she comes in manipulatively goading reactions from him.
While watching Amber Heard, I felt like I was in a movie. Pauses, recoveries, emphatic story telling, and complete face wipes then restarts when given the go ahead. She also has contradicted her own testimony so far. 1. "I only did drugs with Johnny once". But she reports taking MDMA on a plane with him and taking shrooms in the desert. 2. "We gave her drugs" Why would someone who reportedly is anti drug claim that? I've also noticed that she's always the savior in her stories. At the Caravan campfire, SHE saved this random girl from the clutches of Johnny. It wasn't his bodyguard, who testified that he stepped in to move them to their caravan away from people. If Johnny is getting grabby with all these random women, threatening them, tell me why they aren't reporting it to tabloids for fat cash? So many inconsistencies.
@@Juliettee1061 I think what Amber really doesn't understand is that the lies will catch up with her and she's receiving so much negativity from the public, so much so, that she had to fire her old PR staff and hire a new ones just to make herself look like the victim. Johnny just wants to clear his name, and don't you think he knew that all this junk would be brought out whether it was about her or him, but he's risking it because he's innocent and he's trying to clear his name. I don't wish Amber any ill-will at all, and it would be great if she were to turn around and ask Johnny to forgive her and admit that she was wrong, and that she is the aggressor not Johnny.
If you pay attention to the first time Hughes was on stand. ..when Johnny's lawyer asked for a copy of her notes, she put a green folder real quick. And pulled notes out one piece of paper at a time
I hope you're happy Emily. I'm watching all of this trial and all your talk of muffins made me want muffins so I learned how to make blueberry muffins from scratch just to eat them while listening to this 😂😂😂 my husband and coworkers thank you 😂
Based on AH self-report, Flatiron did a "concussion check" OVER THE PHONE. Found none. Self-report, routine check, nothing there. Hughes said, "they went for a concussion check". That's slightly different, isn't it.
How can you test for concussion on the phone?? Surely a visit to the hospital would have been better than ringing someone up to get tested for concussion.
This doctor seems oddly protective of Amber. Not that I expect her to be cold and uncaring, but she just seems very familiar and personal when talking about things. It feels like she’s advocating for Amber as a person rather than speaking to Amber’s mental health. That’s not necessarily bad in a therapy context, but in this context it’s sus. Like I’m waiting for someone to reveal that she’s actually Amber’s aunt or something lol
I agree, like she forgot what's her role as forensic psychologist and instead went full on personal. And all of her findings, tests she administered, methodology and results got lost in this advocacy for Amber. And I think that partially Ambers lawyers are at fault here because questions they asked dr. Hughes didn't seem so well structured for jury to fully understand her findings. They just kind of skipped to her 'expert' opinion. It was mumbo-jumbo.
Yes i thought same. More therapeutic counsellor than forensic clinician. Not sure who is hoodwinking who but i think its a mutually convenient situation..she is willing to say what AH wants because its convenient for this doctor to have a famous case back up her so called special interest niche. But its ALL smelling fishy to the enth degree imho.
Started watching this on accident popped up while I was scrolling about. My first thoughts was "oh another celebrity with $ trying to buy their way out. Went into watching this thinking JD was the one lying and he probably did hit her. But then something in his testimony and his mannerisms struck me as extremely familiar. It stood out as I seen this behavior before and his discription of his childhood and why he certain traits and habbits in which he deals with such a childhood was clear description to exactly what i witnessed in my mothers behavior . I am not a psychiatrist or a law student but i am a child of a mother whos mother acted exactly the way his mother did. My grandma would throw things at my grandpa while he sat in a wheelchaor blind with aputated legs and would shout hirtful words at him and he calmly would set me on his lap and softly say to me just ignore her and then woukd taljk to me about whats on tv or tell me jokes. My mother had that same ability to ignore the ranting behavior of her mother no matter how cruel she got. I always knew something was wrong about the situation because everyone acted like these things were normal. I knew because my mom was nothing like her raising me. She too once said she knew how to be a mother to me because all she had to do was be opposite of her mother. My mother like Johnny always looked at herself like they were nothing special and didnt need or want the center of the room attention. Very shy and much like him her children and family was everything she cherrished us. Nothing was ever about her it was all about our kids happiness. I sensed as a kid that the way she went out of her way for us was nice but a tad abnormal almost like she tried to fix her childhood through us. What truly hit home was his need to escape moments that felt like escalation of tensions. If anyone in the room even raised their voice during a conversation you could see my mother escape in what we called the ostrich mode. Which to us meant she would calmly and quietly leave the room to hers where she would lay down and watch tv and become very distant for days. Only long periods of a quiet calm atmosphere would emerge her from her ostrich behavior. She too took care of her mother till she passed even tho my grandma was very verbally cruel and hateful. When i got older i asked my mom why she was so kind to her when she was so cruel and she said to me that she always wanted her mother to treat her with love amd kindnesd and unconditional love but she never recieved it so even tho it hurt her heart just being near her it filled her heart that she was capable of giving what her mother couldnt.. it meant alot to her to do the right thing regaurdless to her mothers behavior and the only time my mother would stand up to her by raising her voice or respondong to her behavior was my grandma stepped over the line with my brother or i. My mom suddenly lost that shy girl that tolerated the abuse when us kids were in grandmas rage. What was always shocking to me is my mother would even handle that situation with decency. She wouldny loose her temper it just wasnt in her. She would would just suddenly speak up and say "thats it! Its time for you to leave!" The n she would hand my grandma her purse and open the door for her. She kept what she said limited and never ranted just a simple Leave and a look on her face that said the children are off limits. That strong protective parent behavior JD sounds known for to me also sounds like my mothers distinctive ptsd symptoms. Miss heard like my grandma was known for that hot cold behavior where anytime you encounter her theres a few moments of silence as you survey for what the mood for the day was... was it day that a simple hello triggers the ranting? Just never knew what wild accusations she would have or when and honestly my mother had that quiet way of dealing with it that I had the hardest time 7nderstanding why when she is a grown women, married with child did she take it and never display to her how hurtful it felt. My mother like JD also was perscribed opioids for her back pain and never understood how addicted she was to them.. i am actually floored by how i assumed he was guilty and lying and then was suddenly hit by the astonding familiarity of it all and my gut feeling is acts like someone like my mother who couldnt bring them to hurt someone even when they deserve it. She was incapable of raising her hand under extreme circumstances as if its almost a symptom to her abuse. When she spoke you could hear her conpassion for people as if she feels their pain... always hated to see anyone unhappy. She was a beautuful tortured soul that wxuded extreme kindness much like ppl are testifying about JD. Generous to a fault. Everything in my gut says he is telling the truth even when its an ugly truth. My mother was exactly like that. While i admired her super sweet kind heart and the way she could only lie when protecting someone else there was always a sense of everthing she did wad pushed by soul that was suffering the torture in every decisio of life. Again im not a psychiatrist but never before have i seen these unique traits i grew up watching in anyone else till now. Makes me wanna just reach out to him and say "i get it!" I understand the pain it takes to fight back right now and what this means to your healing"
I am always amused when the Auto Caption changes "Miss Heard" to "Misheard". That might be AH's next Defence argument "Everyone misheard everything I said" 😂😂
It took me a while to find your channel for coverage of the JD/AH case, after your impressive coverage for B. Spears. Your channel is way better than other similar channels. Huge congrats and thank you. Regards from Kenya.
This is really a no contest in terms of experts. Curry answered and explained how the tests where done along with loads of facts to back it up which the jury can understand. Hughes did none of this and came across as biased and almost egotistical. As Emily pointed she was saying things about Depp as if they were facts purely based on what Amber said. The walk back on her part didn't help them and if Curry is brought back Hughes is going to get torn apart. In a effort to discredit Depp expert Amber team may have ended up making her look even more believable and handed Depp side another win.
@@Kayrim_Borlan Its like watching a slow motion car crash where you know you should look away you just can't. Really bad acting and surprisingly bad given the time they had to prepare.
Rewatching what I missed in the beginning of the trial, also, I just recently came across you a few days ago and need to watch all of your prior coverage of this trial. You’ve quickly become my favorite channel to watch for this!!!
When I was diagnosed with PTSD after surviving an attempted murder 23 years ago, I was told it would be a lifelong battle and it is something I live with every day, so I'm totally confused about them saying she had PTSD 3 different times?? What, what??
I completely agree! I’m a Survivor of very violent DV & SA and was diagnosed with ptsd back in 2008, and have been living with it ever since, not at separate times when it’s convenient.
@@simmiedavissimmiesings8185 Possibly, but it made zero sense that they specifically said she had PTSD 3 different times. What would make sense to me, and this is how it was phrased by my doctor..."you have PTSD from your initial trauma and when you were traumatized a second time it exacerbated the same diagnosis, which is PTSD." Never ONCE did I hear that "expert" ever say that Amber was DIAGNOSED with PTSD! She ONLY said she showed signs of it on 3 different occasions. PTSD has become a go to buzz word and it pisses me off because I'm sick of hearing stories of people saying they have PTSD because someone took their parking spot!!! It devalues the horrific traumas people like myself have survived. I'm sorry, rant over.
@@liljennysilver4835 can PTSD symptoms be more pronounced at some times and not at others? So that she might mean (should have said) "there were PTSD symptoms three times". Or are the symptoms more "constant"?
@@mkpetersen1607 Absolutely. You never know when or what can trigger you. My whole point with Amber is "I don't believe her." I survived, testified and put my perp away for 25 years in a super max. I also know that I'm the minority in this situation. Far too few women report and to go a little further, even fewer have a successful prosecution, so I KNOW my opinion may not be viewed favorably, but I do not believe Amber and this false narrative that she's trying to make us believe hurts "real survivors" and will keep more victims silent in the future and that's a travesty.
Nurse here. If I ever had any inclination that my patient is going through abuse I would write it out in DETAIL using exact wording the patient is reporting but also separating that from my personal observations of the patient. This is so sketchy that you see a giant empty box where it indicates to the tester to describe what happened in DETAIL, and in patients own wording! If I saw someone else’s work like this I’d seriously question this persons work ethics because it is AT BEST lazy but AT WORST, incomplete and NEGLIGENT
Nurse here too and agree 100%, that was my first thought when i saw that. Ive worked with people who do things like this and its usually laziness and just lack of care or take no pride in their work. For an expert/professional of her level that is very surprising to me and especially since she knew this was gonna be such a high profile case! Youd think she would have made sure everything was done 100% by the book. I would be embarrassed if my documents looked like that in court or even just at work.
At the very least she should have written 'please refer to document x dated y' so there is context for why nothing is put in there. Each document is stand alone when viewed so you cannot just leave important boxes without relevant inormation if you don't at least link to an associated report/document. Surely Dr Hughes was aware this was for a court case so should have been EXTRA careful when dotting the i's and crossing the t's on a document. In a (criminal) court in the UK this would be ripped apart by solicitors due to it not being properly completed. An assessment should be able to stand alone as a complete document. Other assessments/documents can be referenced for additional information and context but each should be able to stand on its own merits. She's paid $500 an hour to produce this? Jeez, I'm a non-qualified Healthcare worker and I'm paid £12 an hour by the NHS to produce a higher quality of documentation. Clearly I'm in the wrong business!
@@thriftynurse EXACTLY!!! At best it’s lazy, at worse it is negligent and completely does a disservice to the client because you are interpreting their expression, and not giving respect to their words and experience. She is very selective in what she reports what her client says, that is unethical. Just so sketchy I really doubt her professionalism
@@elle2876 Yuuuuuppppp it’s very inconsistent in what she is choosing to record and so unprofessional and unethical
She claims that it is in her notes. Go figure.
As a licensed clinical therapist who worked in a residential crisis center for people with thoughts of hurting themselves or others ANY time I completed a scale using a different time frame I ALWAYS indicated that in my clinical note her administering a test but not indicating this is writing is extremely disturbing. If you didn’t write it in your notes it didn’t happen!
She wasn't acting as a therapist though. For an evaluation, it wouldn't be needed.
@@escher9622 same professional code applies for diagnostics
Medical notes are legal documents. Have to be done correctly.
Same for nursing. If it's not documented it's not done. It's legally part of the patients medical record and must document accordingly.
@@cindy-zx9qn Damn right
My favourite part of this entire trial is listening to Dennison wreck all the expert witnesses👏🏼👏🏼
She said "I HAVE A VERY GOOD MEMORY AND VERY GOOD RECOLLECTION"
She also says "I CANNOT RECALL WITHOUT MY NOTES"
As a biochemist, I think that Dr Curry is more credible based just on how she explained her administration of the PTSD and personality disorder tests to Amber Heard… Dr Curry described her methods and the language was about what she did generally which means that her methods were repeatable. Repeatability is so important in science!
Repeatability, is the main objective in Psychological Testing and Experimentations for Statistics Calculations too.
@@deborahduthie4519
I figured it would be. The biochemist part wasn’t a flex so much as it is a specific perspective I brought to my replay. It was something I hadn’t seen people talk about in the comment threads and I felt happy I could bring something new to the party!
Turns out this was something Mr Dennison was interested in too
Absolutely!
I wont even go that far.
The difference between the two is Curry would just answer questions to the best of her abilities.
With this lady, she's manipulating questions asked and statements made, so that they're always going to empathize with Amber. At times she's very sloppy at doing this. You can tell she's walking a tight rope where she's almost, nearly, might be, lying for Amber. This is without even diving into her professional history and how its clearly very biased and she holds an agenda.
Quite honestly, i'd love to see a medical review board investigate her.
@@undergrounddojokeyboardcag701 Are you referring to her gendered language? I’ve seen some psychologist Law Nerds saying that this use of gendered language is not SOP at all. Or is it something like making conclusions about Miss Heard being a DV victim based on literature? Maybe I’m misunderstanding and examples help. Love the chat
I do remember how much they emphasized that Dr Hughes was board certified whereas Dr Curry wasn’t. After this, I definitely don’t think that denotes a higher degree of conduct professionalism. This was like a master class in that notion. What kind of things could come from that kind of investigation?
So she meets one person in the relationship, decides they are the victim and that's her final decision
That's happens all the time and not by experts. This woman is biased af and doesn't seem to care too much about the man's side when it is an alleged man on woman violence.
With therapists they are honorbound to believe in their clients and work with what they tell them, however she undeniable is taking a very biased approach with this testimony.
@@Flowerhag In treatment you are correct, you are supposed to take what your clients say at face value, unless they have some sort of narcissistic or antisocial personality disorders. However, as a forensic psychologist, the job is to bring facts and science about the personality -and possible trauma- disorders of the people implicated, and correlate that to what's being alleged. In this case, she definitely should've met with JD, and she should have done several psychometric tests just like Dr. Curry did with AH, after she met with JD. Her testimony is incredibly biased, lacks scientific foundation, and honestly sounds a lot like gossip at least in my opinion.
Well-put.
Case closed I guess. Next… 😂
She only needed her notes to refer to the factual information. She was able to recite the slanderous subjective events thoroughly. Clearly, she came to sling mud.
I hadn't picked up on that, but I see it now. She sounded more like a gossip girl than a professional
Bingo!
Exactly!
She said she testified on behalf of --- get this --- ONE man. lolololol
She even said she evaluated their marriage, which was based on hear-say, without seeing or talking to Johnny. How on earth can you evaluate a marriage based on one person's word, when there's two people involved? There's so much wrong here. She's very bitter, angry and combative, just like Amber.🤷♀

She started dressing honoring herself, & she got the same response! Her beau was able to go out in public with her feeling like he wasn't going to have to brawl half the guys out there! Not all guys ogle! Some give an admiring look & move on!
What drove me crazy is Heard’s psychologist said multiple times in her testimony “Amber truthfully stated…”. She seems incapable of considering whether Amber might have lied to her during her self-reporting.
The fact she has to add the word 'truthfully' in my opinion shows her need to convince people, if she really trusted the statements of Amber, why would she add this word?
It is clear that Dr. Hughes is less of a doctor an more of an activist. It is clear that she picks and chooses the validity of a report based on whether or not it matches her own prior belief.
Ghat's exactly how i feel. I found her very interesting, clearly very knowledgeable, experienced and qualified, but i cannot shake the feeling that she is immensely biased. Looking at her experience, it is very understandable, but it does not matter if that is born from her practical experiences. You do NOT treat a case based on (quantitative) statistical data. Also, the descriptions of her methodology make me want to rip my hair out...
I would be banging my head if I was on this jury. I like how cross is done in movies, just ask 10 questions and then the first time you reach a gotcha moment which i believe happened in the first 3 minutes; the first time an audience member makes a gaffe of disgust for the witness, he should have said uh-huh, then just as the defense was welcoming her they should have dismissed her and said no further questions. You think she's valid, we're not worried about her and we proved it in 5 minutes. So prove it by dismissing her. Sooner than later

It's quite telling that she believes everything that Amber 'tells' her and then when she actually hears the audio she says... "if" it's true.

Indeed!
I for sure did!
The jury didn’t see this though.
What was the time point this occurred?
Haha good one, is shifty as...
I think Dr. Hughes testified yesterday that she DID administer a test to look for feigning but she heavily skewed the results to 'correct' for the responses of abuse victims appearing as if they're lying when they're not. That's why Amber scored a "zero". She might have scored higher, but Dr. Hughes then discounted all of those points. This stood out to me because, as a scientist, I know this isn't how you analyze data. There should have been questions baked into the test to account for this. You don't just get the raw score and then subtract an arbitrary amount because of an opinion that a specific client should be given the benefit of the doubt. It comes across as the clinician wanting the score to be zero and making it so after the fact. If Dr. Hughes isn't going to cite actual research showing this is standard operating procedure across her field, it comes across as bias. The test is the test and the score is the score. As someone who made a living analyzing scientific data, this felt off to me. Very wibbly wobbly.
I can't wait for Dr. Curry to get up on the stand and rip apart Hughes' (I can't in good conscience refer to her as a Dr) "evaluations" and "procedures", especially as a PTSD expert
@@Kayrim_Borlan Well, if she has the PhD, she's a doctor, regardless of how we feel about her. As someone who used to work with a lot of PhD's - the good, the bad, and the ugly - it doesn't bother me to use that honorific. It's moot to me. If she graduated with a PhD, she's a doctor.
@@m0L3ify I appreciate that perspective! We've got psychiatrists & psychologists in the chats speaking but I was confused about that bit when she was speaking on Data but said you have to skew it & it sounded to ME like she was stating that you have to adjust for the fact that they are not typically believed or lie. & I was like 🤔 wait what? How do you accurately & scientifically skew data for liars & it be actually correct! Or skew the data for me bias when you're perpetuating more biases. I just don't have much respect or like for this witness. She seems very unprofessional & biased.
@@Amber-yq9ee Exactly. If you want to correct for that, you'd bake it into the questions such that the answers would subtract points on their own and anyone could give the test and interpret the results the same way. It's very odd to me that you'd give a test, get a score, and then subtract points afterwards based on whether someone claimed they were abused or not. To be fair, my Cognitive Behavioral research was done more in animals, but we did review these types of things in my college Neuroscience and Psychology classes (I was a Neurosci major) and I've never seen this type of skewing done before, especially based on self-reporting like that. I'd definitely like to know what the accredited psychologists think because it's just odd to me. Doesn't seem like standard operating procedure.
I've been tested and had the test provider report that according to the test I have 0 symptoms and diagnosis. They then compared this to notes from my interviews and hypothesized that I under report my symptoms when tested. (What Dr Curry referred to when she talked about people unintentionally trying to report less symptoms). They talked to me about this to understand how I thought when I did the test. And then they did a different test after they had a talk with me to understand how I thought. They then compared the new test with the old one, and both with my interviews and considered if this supported their first hypothesis. They then did a few other tests after these two and then concluded my way of answering the first test was a symptom in it self and that all the tests together with the interviews indicated a diagnosis. So if Dr Hughes felt like the ms Heard was answering "wrong", she should have given other tests (like Dr Curry) to prove her feeling. Not just correct it (unless the test it self has that as a possibility, which it doesn't seem like).
They are absolutely DEMOLISHING this "psychologist", and as a psychology student with PTSD myself, I am living for it.
Doesn't seem so to me, they ask very general questions with which she can respond with what a professional should respond with, mostly anyway, instead of examining specific statements she made that were drowning in bias.

Licensed therapist here🙋🏻♀️
In my 20+ yrs of clinical experience, I’ve honestly not seen any client w/ PTSD related to partner violence & abuse of any kind react quite like Heard has up until this point. While there can be wide variation in how survivors present over time & there’s not a “right” or “wrong” way to speak or act, there are patterns of presentation that are seen more often, that’s all. With such detailed & graphic descriptions, especially from Dr. Hughes, it’s not as common to see a survivor maintain a stone-faced & stoic facial expression after hours & days of hearing horrific details of their abuse. I’ve seen many survivors present in a detached & expressionless way, but there is usually a crack that occurs at some point, even if it’s subtle. In the face of day after day of focusing on & describing horrific & graphic details in a public arena such as a court room, it’s common to see some crack or shift, even if subtle. I haven’t seen any shift from Heard yet, except in her dress & hair styles & that seems bizarre & calculating in how she’s mirroring Depp &, at one point, Dr. Curry. If you look at Depp’s presentation over the same period, there’s a detached quality similar in parts to Heard’s, but we see multiple small cracks/subtle changes in Depp’s affect, behavior, eye contact, tone of voice, & more. Many survivors find it more bearable to share about the abuse if they detach their feelings from the actual event(s). It can be protective to a degree, particularly in children, but some survivors continue to present like this for years if they don’t receive any help & support. With that kind of detachment, there is often some dissociating as well, but it’s not as common for a survivor to maintain that same stance for hours & days, & in the face of so many intense triggers, recounting details of the abuse, & while strangers are watching. For many survivors, it doesn’t get much more triggering than what happens in a courtroom. It’s more common to see survivors rush thru &/or skip over details while recounting so they can be finished, & often need guidance & genuine support to be able to slow it down while still maintaining a level of emotional safety. In a person like Heard who is highly reactive emotionally as a baseline - which has been repeatedly presented in the evidence & witnesses so far - those cracks show up somewhere, even if it’s just a subtle change in facial expressions.
The person who looks & behaves most like a survivor of partner abuse is Depp. The contrast b/w the two of them is glaring, imo. Depp presented in a detached way for much of his testimony, but there were multiple, small variations in body language, tone of voice, speech volume, eye contact & more.
I went into this trial wanting to believe Heard as I didn’t know all of the specifics & it didn’t occur to me that Heard could be as manipulative, cruel, dishonest & calculating to do all that she’s done. For someone who has been as cold & abusive to a partner as Heard has been (we’ve listened to lots of audio to this effect, & some video & texts), there is almost always some kind of past abuse pattern. The fact that Depp is 58 yrs old & has never had any intimate partner or other female accuse him of any physical abuse makes it very difficult to believe that he suddenly became this monster when he met Heard. Also, since his divorce from Heard, there has been nothing in the press (that I’ve seen) about other females recounting similar experiences & behaviors from Depp. In over 20 yrs of practice, I’ve never worked w/ any client, male or female, who suddenly becomes a cruel & rage-filled abuser mid-life, absent a significant & profound injury or event such as a traumatic brain injury. In my experience, there has always been past incidences of some type of abusive &/or violent behavior, & more often than not, there is an identifiable pattern. Heard, on the other hand, has a pattern of intimate partner abuse as the perpetrator and cruelty and abusive behavior towards others as well. The math seems clear to me on this though I’m certainly watching the rest of the trial.
I am still on the fence about this trial and all, but these kind of comments irritate the hell out of me!
Whether she is lying or not, people commenting about how "In my years of (insert field here), I have never seen a victim react like her! This is not, real victim behavior!"
This is so damn harmful and ignorant to suggest a victim must behave in certain ways to be believed, and I'm shocked someone in your field would say this. Amber is guilty, that much is clear, let the evidence take her down, not some bullshit regarding "Real Victim Behavior"
@@yorozuya1992 - All I said in my previous comment was the truth as I have experienced, not that it was true for all survivors & certainly not that survivors have to fit in to some defined mold to be believed. With every abuse survivor I’ve worked with, I always emphasize that there is no right or wrong way to process the trauma or to speak about it formally or informally. There can be a wide range of feelings, behaviors, facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, & more, & it’s critical to look at all of the factors that relate to a client’s trauma, & not make sweeping conclusions from isolated parts. I thought I made that clear, but if you got a different message, I apologize for not making my wording more definitive.
Going forward, I’ll be more cognizant of what I’m writing, & try & make sure I take extra time to proof & edit any comments before posting. I work very hard to not make any comments that would trigger feelings of shame in any of my clients who are survivors of trauma.
I think the response of “why would I be?”

Well said 👏👏👏
She literally pick and choose which notes to believe and which to "disagree" with regarding Johnny and Amber relationship.
Totally. She heard AH admit on the recording that she hit JD and didn't even flinch when pretending it didn't happen
2:47:00
As a survivor, what Amber did by contacting her therapist after an incident, _DOESN'T_ mean she was seeking therapy as the victim. With a _VERY_ smart ABUSER (who's trying to cover their tracks), it's NOT uncommon for them to schedule appts, talk with friends/family, to try to make themselves look like the "victim," when they know damn well, that they were actually the aggressor.
I get that most people won't understand this unless they've been through it, but in cases where somebody has a history of being the Abuser, it's _not_ uncommon for them to get smarter and smarter with trying to cover their tracks and create their own narrative for later on down the road, when the relationship ends. Manipulation is key with a lot of Abusers...
_(for ppl who haven't been through this, hopefully this isn't too hard to understand)_
😔
Couldn't agree with you more
We know Amber Heard is scrappy and a survivor. Apparently her childhood was awful and she was able to survive and even push herself into a good position in life. I distrust that she had no help doing it, but it's still incredibly tenacious to tackle Hollywood at 17. What I find incredulous is her account of not knowing anything about Johnny Depp. Lol. She's working on being a professional actor and doesn't know one of the biggest names in Hollywood? Nah.
Totally agree, the manipulator gets better and better. Been thru this myself
Ding ding ding
Absolutely. It’s so hard watching this as a survivor and seeing the general public miss so many signs. Amber and this therapist are betraying survivors across the world.
I love Wayne Dennison’s style of cross - examination.. He’s a SAVAGE !!!!!

Licensed therapist here. Unless AH is medicated, this trial and testimony would be triggering the PTSD several times already
I have PTSD and it triggers me so you are so right on this, thank you!
Diagnosed CPTSD survivor over here, this entire case has been incredibly triggering for me and I can’t help but notice the similarities between amber and my abuser. The things she said, the way she reacts to Johnny on the recordings, even her facial expressions are so similar to the way my abuser would react to me. He would always accuse me of overreacting or exaggerating and he never “hit me that hard” or “if you try to tell anyone I’ll just say it was self defense”.
I felt so powerless and really believed no one would believe me if I spoke out.
Victims DO NOT react like Amber, they react like Johnny. Even though every DV situation is different, the behaviors are almost always the same. Which sucks because I really wanted to believe her and support her when she first came out. For some reason I just couldn’t get behind her like I do with every victim, there were just way too many red flags. But her nail in the coffin were the recordings for me. A victim would NEVER speak to their abuser like they EVER especially if they were concerned of being hit. People seem to forget physical abuser literally will not start without emotional/mental abuser has already taken place. Abusers well wear you down till you’re completely isolated with no self esteem, THEN they hit you. We need to remember it’s not the act of hitting that the abuser likes, it’s the total domination and control they have over their victim.
This is why so many were able to pick up on Amber’s red flags and why the public opinion shifted. Most of us who have actually been the victim can see right through all her lies. She manipulated us the same way she manipulated Johnny which is why we’re all angry. She should be charged criminally for her past actions. What she did is NOT ok and she made a mockery out of all the work victims and advocates have done to raise awareness of the severity of DV. She deserves accountability

@@hannahreed2451 I'm sorry you had to go thru that! I hope you have been able to heal as MUCH AS possible! Love & hugs!!💕❤️
& I agree w\you. I couldn't believe when that Dr said that it's false that victims wouldn't yell or start arguments for fear. She said that was untrue & that oft-times victims will yell & fights & pick fights bc they are used to the physical abuse & they get angry. But I've NEVER seen that. I'm not a doctor BUT victims will are being abused to the level she alleges would never intentionally draw attention to themselves & agitate or instigate an argument bc they are afraid. Now there's cases where the women are also very violent & physical & engage in that as well & they aren't afraid. Tho typically in those instances the woman is the more violent of the 2 & the guy is typically the more passive & just reacting. But in those cases I wouldn't describe the woman as there victim.
@@hannahreed2451 exactly!!! Those of us that have had abusers can see that Amber is the abuser. Funny how ALL the evidence of everything isn't there to back her up yet she takes pictures of EVERYTHING?
This expert seems more interested in being AH’s friend than a therapist. Her description of events that she couldn’t really have known about was more like gossip than testimony.
totally! it was weird she needed notes to talk about the psych tests she administered but knew every single detail about what amber told her 🤨
The desire to be AH's friend I may even digest...I suspect this "relationship" is way beyond friendship, it's more of a projection!!
Somehow wires got crossed, I could clearly see AH to be (like) her in a few yrs... & perhaps this "muffin" sees herself in AH!
Perhaps it was not like gossip, but true projection instead (she saw herself as Amber)!
How else does she remember all these fictive details, but not other important things that was apart of her job description?
One word: coucou!!!
I'm so scared about those "unstable" humans who are courtordered to go through her hands. They will all feel like Jack Nicholson how he felt in *One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest* 🙊
Yes! She acts like AH's gossiping bestie. 🙄
I do have to note that women with certain borderline personality traits (I say women as I don't know any men with it) can get very very over-attached very quickly. Especially to therapists.
You can imagine why. Here's a person - a therapist - who really seems to care about you and doesn't judge you in any way. You experienced a lack of love and caring, or perhaps severe abuse as a small child, and it damaged your ability to form healthy attachments. This can mean you're starving for that validation, approval and care, just as a small child seeks approval from adults.
In theory, Hughes should have been prepared for this as she says she's more clinical than academic, she does work in trauma, and certain early life traumas can result in a person developing a personality adaptation.
However, if she didn't think Amber had cluster B traits, she may not have been as careful as she should have been. I've experienced an intense desire to protect friends of mine with BPD because of the way they interacted with me, and I've had to be incredibly careful that I didn't end up fighting their battles for them. It's a similar feeling you get when you see a tiny, scared kitten.
This may sound weird, but it's basic transactional analysis - like if someone acts like child, you may start acting like a parent in response, or if somebody starts patronising you and treating you like a kid, you may respond like a child.
This is so common a phenomenon that sometimes, when there's a person in need of therapy who has BPD, three therapists may work with the client in rotation in order to prevent this over-attachment. There's always one therapist monitoring the other two.
As far as I can remember from what I was told, one therapist treats, one therapists rests from providing the treatment, and one therapist monitors. Then they switch places.
This may be completely irrelevant to this situation - we don't actually know whether Amber has BPD and HPD (although we know the scores on the MMPI-2 were consistent with that, according to Dr Curry) and we don't know if over-attachment happened. I'm just saying it can happen.
i have PTSD from sexual trauma in the military. It’s women like her that make it hard for us too obtain compensation
I’m sorry you suffered that and I have thought the same…. Throwing the letters around like they are butter on bread sure does water down a horrific illness that many fall ill to. Much love and healing hugs your way
Its why so many never report an event.
I'm sorry, that's a big problem in the armed forces. I hope you're doing better now.
Extremely sorry you had to deal with that. It’s the most disgusting secret about our military that isn’t talked about enough.
I really hope you’re okay.
Ty for your bravery for saying that.
I am SO glad she was called out on her specific bias in her “assessment”. It was infuriating to sit through using female terminology the entire time! I thought my head would explode! AH is the abuser for sure. It’s so sad for so many reasons.
i agree, it destroyed her testimony and her unawareness indicates the strength of her bias
🎯
This "Expert" was doing the same thing as Amber's Lawyers and trying to blame Johnny for Amber's abuse. Ridiculous!
Of course she was blaming Johnny, it was Amber’s team who called her in as a witness.
What abuse? She recorded everything but can't produce any photos of injuries or scars that she should have from all the broken glass as she is thrown on the floor that's covered with shards of glass and she is naked. She did say she slipped on the glass. Seriously? She is snorting coke on the stand and sneaking liquor in her pockets. Her acting is awful. I survived real DV.
Notice that Whole row behind Heard is filled with Attorneys from her Insurance Company today! 6new... Worried Now? Yep they're Worried.
@@iowagirl9563 I think she means Amber's abuse of Johnny.
@@morganderose3491 not the same thing. She's an "expert" she's supposed to explain symptoms and diagnosis not pretend like she knows what occurred between this couple. She knows only what Amber told her of the "incidents of abuse" she's speaking as if she was there. Amber could and let's face it, is lying so she should treated something as she said not the truth.
I have never really cared about trials or shows about the justice system but watching this trial has been fascinating, not only for the drama but for seeing how a trial works. Thanks for breaking it down for us.
expect the whole trial is a constant shitshow neither party has enough shame.,…regardless this is absolutely not what normal court is like, its a clown world lol
I'm x police UK and you do not access any case without getting both sides of the story......this woman is so biased and unprofessional.....when her voice goes up a tone she is getting agitated and rattled....Her attitude is How dare you question me I'm the expert here.....but she's not as bright as she is trying to make out.
I was thinking the same exact thing!! She made a few rude comments that made me think she definitely thinks she's smarter than JD's lawyer. And that she can do those tests in they way she pleases and to not question her about how she does it....
She reminds me of those psychologists back in the 70s who had people remembering abuse that never happened
Probably started the satanic panic
lolololololllololo
When did that happen?
@@CallMeSkinny in the 70s or 80s
Yessss. This was my experience as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s. Took me ACTUAL therapy in my 20s and 30s to recover from that sort of therapy. Scary.
more than a month after the trial has concluded, and it is only now that I realized Emily wasn’t saying “judge” in her own way “judge-ayy” but rather she was saying “Judge A(zcarate)” 😅
😄😄
This “psychologist” referred to man on man violence, woman on woman violence and man on woman violence, she persistently avoided acknowledging the idea of woman on man violence being a thing, and it was evidently deliberate. It was so satisfying to see JD’s team hit the ground running in bringing this up first & foremost, this person is clearly not a professional in her field, her obvious biases make her “formal opinions” invalid
She refused to agree with him and acted like woman on man violence wasnt even possible. Lol what a joke
@@rachaelleann9847 she wasn’t denying that it happens - she was replying to his questions about which evaluations she has testified about in court. she said explicitly at the outset that it exists in such gender combinations in the literature and her clinical practice.
Only been able to see some of the court case. Depps psychologist accepted his lawyers' word that she had borderline at depps dinner in his home, b4 even assessing her for the job to oppose AH..that means both dr hughes and depps psychologist ( who wasnt registered or apprived by the board of psychologist at the time), could both be invalid? Depp's psych was chosen to give them more insight about AH right ? I personally believe that sort of female was chosen for AH to react to, or feel familiarity with her esthetic appearance...perhaps amber, got sucked in from all angles. She was getting set up and controlled from someone? all his staff were controlling her, for transportation by car plane, accomodation, nursing, assistant, security...who is there paying boss? Is the lawyer setting up all the background to AH's controll or jd? The nurse tried to force her to be heavily drugged after the finger was found? Omg!!! I wonder if that is making Britney Squirm hearing all this control via mental health analysis and drug abuse by depps medics? What a nightmare of shocking events! She may be lying, sneaking and exaggerating but he is guilty of the disgusting threatening, derrogattory name calling, internal sexual abuse. She is guilty of other things as well. However i smell several rats... this is all so familiar, marylin, princess diana...is anyone looking for similarities ir just going to burn n drown the witch? I cant believe this could happen again. He should accept the defamation based on admitting one incedent, it does not mean he did everything and doesnt mean she is innocent. Neither of them are innocent. If we're all addicted to this waste of time court case i stead of rescuing ukraines in mariupol...? how badly was johnny addicted to drugs? He was in madness, maybe grief loss depression self harm, mid life crises ( due to d& a abuse, emotionally / mentally like he is still in his teens, they fell in love with their similarities...drug alcohol sex ego losing, using one another as a support, both rebound from breaking up longterm relationships to continue their affair, their infatuation with one another under the influence if substances, they met, abused, married, abused, divorced while on/ off their faces...only realizing the damage they caused one another while sobering up now. Depp knnows what he did behind closed doors, he will have to look at himself in the mirror , if he doesnt admit the demons will grab hold of him, he has to be braver than what he is already. Cop a little loss in the court room, as if the jury or anyone has the answer ..
Help him lose the case, then the truth will set him free... then he can really win...the fans still love him anyway...Depp will need a decade to sober up. He has been an addict for decades...his attitude, mental disorders, will take years to stablise. they are both d& a addicts. He was asleep in the bathroom on the plane? His security witnessed it so its the truth? 🤣😂🙈🙉🙊!! Would u trust any of them with ur young daughters welfare, health and safety? If jd is so innocent, would u let your young daughter ( or young son...he could also be another hidden bi_ sexual who hasnt come out...yet) share a future with him? They are both so ill. He is lucky he is rich n famous...he can afford all the resources. He is nearly 60? He has had so many years learning how to do business, legal, career deals...shes so young and insecure, immature...they thought she would be good for him...was he an innocent, straight guy at her stage in life? He never lied being an addict all his life? What did he have to do to score? Please take things into consideration. Why would he want too be with someone her age? If he was grieving for vanessa and their family life severed...hiw would someine who is suicidal, self harming react during ongoing episodes if rage during grief/loss cycles he possibly experienced . Please consider background,hx of mental health, behavioural issues, the type if people he was drawn to...very dark. If he walks away scott free...the message to anyone wanting to abuse someone behind closed doors, is go ahead, u can get away with it...victims will be too fearful of: truth being twisted, blamed , to report or speak out because of counter attacks. AH should not have publicised what happened. He must not win, any person violated and abused that has been framed and coerced will suffer. She will suffer post court case anyway. She is so young with a child to raise, please ease up on her. Let them deal with their demons, monsters and recover in privacy. Ive been falling asleep writing this its 3.15am in Oz , its very sad and bab
@@99balloons71 no Dr needs to be board certified to practice. It's nothing more than a beurocracy and has no bearing on a professional or their expertise or capabilities
@@99balloons71 I agree with so much of what you wrote. I’ve been writing similar comments about how no one seems to know how to remain unbiased and logic seems to be going out the window. I’ve been researching the FULL recordings (not just the deliberate clips used in court) and there’s one recording that JD himself took (you can hear amber is on speaker phone and his voice is the one present in front of the recorder) and in that phone call he tries to set her up by saying, “I lost a finger man!” And she says, “what are you talking about? You cut your own finger! When you busted the phone!” And that’s what she testified to on the stand (on day 15 or 16). Johnny Depp was my first male loce as a little girl and I will always love him. Im sorry im that way but I can’t help it. I used to have either the Cry-Baby or Edward Scissorhands VHS playing for me to go to sleep. My mom even rolls her eyes when I ask her about that cuz I used to scream and cry if I couldn’t have “my Johnny” to go to sleep to. So my love for him is deep lol. But I can still be UNBIASED! It’s SO obvious that AH is GROSSLY over exaggerating the events and JD is GROSSLY minimizing his involvement in the abuse. And even IF he never touched a hair on her head, he’s already guilty of mental, emotional, and psychological abuse from what we’ve heard from the tapes submitted into evidence. And it blows my mind that people can’t see how powerful JD is. He clearly has the BEST legal team, PR team, etc. He is very intentionally making sure the world is on his side. This has been done extremely methodically and it is SCARY to see how the world is in this online herd mentality against AH. I believe she’s vile for all the crap she did as well, but the way people are saying “Johnny is just a gentle man and he’s the victim” while saying it was ALL her, completely ignoring everything we’ve heard him do in the tapes ALONE…that is freaking SCARY! And YES, exactly like another Marilyn! When a powerful man wants a woman to disappear, she disappears. At the end of that FULL recording of the phone call between JD and AH, Johnny says, “I am going to F you in court!!” And boy, he meant it.
My therapist and I have been using my sessions to discuss this case, it is so therapeutic. She’s a licensed therapist and I have degrees in law. It’s seriously so helpful and this channel is so amazing with handling things fairly!
Uh... is she billing you for this?
@@tamaradavis2276 I hope so, it’s very therapeutic for me! We always address any and all immediate needs first but there are not always needs, except me needing to know she’s there.
It’s nice to know I have someone to talk to ever week. I love being able to share my thoughts and hear hers. Especially because sometimes I wonder if I fall into certain categories. I chose therapy to better myself, better understand myself and better understand my relationships with others

I've talked about this case to my therapist too. It's been extremely therapeutic to me as well, I totally get it. I've been in an abusive relationship in the past and so has my boyfriend, few times, and I've seen it from both sides (my abusive ex was also abused by his ex), and we've had really great heart to hearts about this case together too
@@khaightlynn I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one. Do you ever question yourself while watching? I definitely do!
Replay Crew 🇦🇺: Hughes is not only unprofessional as an expert witness but as a psychologist. In tests like these, questions are asked multiple times, in multiple ways to check for continuity and malingering. That she dismisses a question because "it had already been answered", or because she was just doing part of it to check changes since the previous time is, frankly, contemptible - administer the test properly or don't claim to be using it. Clearly, Hughes manipulates her "clinical notes" to say what her employers want her to say.
I believe Dr Hughes gave tests to prove her hypothesises "PTSD" and "Non malingering". Vs Dr Curry allowing the data to determine the diagnosises. Cross wasn't as good as It could have been but I believe Dr Hughes helped JD more during her direct.
Dang!
@@Cafe_Es_Bueno You're right - the cross wasn't good at all, he could/should have made it clear to the jury just how unprofessional she had been and, therefore, how unreliable her testimony was - they can't assume that the jury will just know that. Frankly, though, he was brought in because he's their expert ay handling expert witnesses so he probably just didn't know how to handle the fact that she hadn't testified as an expert witness should.
@@HandmadeDarcy Agreed. Many people are saying that they will recall Dr Curry. I feel if that is the case, they could have made a stronger points of challenges that Dr Curry could give credence to. They are placing a lot of assumptions on the jury.
Or... Big Or.
They were conserving time for AH???? 🤔
I wonder why Depp’s council didn’t bring up the fact that the psychologist obviously diagnosed Depp with “aggressive jealousy” with no foundation or running tests
My best guess is they're just planning to rip apart Hughes, her testimony, her notes, and every other document she provided when they get back to Dr. Curry
And without having ever even MET him. Can’t wait for Dr. Curry to come back!
Maybe they are leaving that part to Dr Curry. Dennison did point out tho, that Dr Hughes never met nor did a psy evaluation of Depp, which she confirmed.
i agree with the sentiment but aggressive jealousy is not a diagnosis. but you are correct, she did speak of it as though it was the truth with no foundation.
@@aoky9179 yup that’s also true, then they should have at least brought it as this is not a diagnosis then
There are cameras EVERYWHERE within their living property.
Amber was never, never by herself! Who ever saw ANY injury upon her face or anywhere else? Pffft!!
‼
No one ever seen it . She always sent pic like look what he did to her. I have dark circles under my eyes and when I take pic it look like a black eye. My mother would say that to me all the time. She tell me to find something to lighten it up cause it make me look like I have a black eye. Another thing is she claim to have gotten a broken nose before going on a show and on that show she scrunch her nose and make faces that if her nose was broken would put her in agony I hit my face on a wall and it left a big purple bruise on my left cheek and I couldn’t smile , frown and god for bid I sneeze I be in tears. She claim her nose to be broken and she make faces laughing smile through the show not even a wince.
@@stefanies.3745 not to mention 2 black eyes and major swelling she would have from a busted nose. she also said her lip was split, she would not have been smiling like that with a lip that was split open just the night before
The cross was brilliant. He excellently pointed out the discrepancies in her testimony and left it open ended for the jury to decide. So, like how we all were able to pick anomalies and her bias toward Amber, Jury are also like us. Also, he sometimes become more slow and stumbles to chose words carefully, which ultimately puts a good question. He was polite and didn't give a bad impression to Jury, unlike Amber's lawyer. Also, I think he was trying to make Dr. Hughes comfortable and carefree. Because too attentive means better planned answers. It's amazing watching Amber's lawyers before that they didn't have a single objection(other than that compound one lol) here. That's what a brilliant cross is.
That's why I love Dennison. He gets the facts into the light and lets the jury decide. It's the kind of education I like.
Oh no! It’s *not* nit picky on those forms. EVERY SINGLE LINE should be filled out. Even a call back to WHERE you can find the information in her notes, date & page, at the very least is necessary but THAT is the lazy way. It’s absolutely inexcusable for her to have left those blank. On the LEFT she’s supposed to be answering how *often* the patient is having the symptoms. On the RIGHT she’s supposed to be answering how *severe* those symptoms are WHEN they are experienced. They are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. *edited to say: medical professional
Thanks for clarifying 👍
I saw a video at the end of her testimony she quickly puts a thick green folder in her bag and then only hands over individual pieces of paper, shouldnt they have received the entire folder?!?!
Why weren't these notebooks made evident to Johnny's Layers?
I saw that too.
I find it funny that Amber has been writing all through the court case, but she has now stopped. Maybe she was writing this womans notes
There are channels who specifically highlighted that in videos, no worries. I'm positive if it matters then Depp's team will catch wind and address it behind closed doors if need be.
Emily, you short-change yourself--fact: You can, quickly, read & comprehend, while listening AND commenting on both. Insane multi-tasking. Great brain.
Keep eating the Weetabix. Good for the brain. My mum swears by it . Objection Hearsay
True. I can't even walk and chew gum at the same time. I'll trip 🤣
2:11:53 Dr. Hughes states “I can testify that he had physical acts of violence perpetrated on him as well as psychological aggressive acts perpetrated upon him”
That faint hint of a smug, self-satisfied smile on AH's face as a reaction to the picture of JD's severed finger really says it all for me. I think she dropped the facade for a moment there. It was as if she was saying to herself "yeah, I did that shit I enjoyed watching him suffer". She genuinely seems to have some pretty sadistic tendencies (not an attempt to disparage her, just an observation based on what I'm seeing). I hope the jury caught that!
I definitely did!
I did too!
Johnny was correct, when he stated that he thought he was chosen so Amber could ride his coat tails to the top in the industry. She was not well known well not for anything family friendly. Amber needing her friends around her even at Johnnys cost, the cleaning, repairing, no rent, I don't believe Johnny is stupid, he probably truly loved Amber,, she is a bully, & insecure. Amber gets excited when speaking of the altercations, I wanted to disappear, I just do not find Amber truthful, honest, apparently affairs with other men & women, even a couple of months after marraige..wow
I certainly caught it, I truly hope the jury did, that look was sadistic.
Also watch AH when Rottenborn really starts hammering into JD. It's a look of great pride and delight. Like get him Ben!! Get him 😠. She enjoys cornering JD
I can not believe that door was not opened!!!!!
This lady said yesterday she saw no evidence of prior aggression with Amber before JD. She definitely did. She knew who Tasha was. She knew about the arrest. I guarantee she would have made excuses for Amber’s behavior towards Tasha, her sister, prior employees.
This witness left a bad taste in my mouth.

As a court clerk, that therapist knowing that paperwork would be presented in court and then explaining away blank spaces by saying oh that would be redundant, read my 80 pages of notes, I'm dying.
I think the cross did amazing. The entire questioning happened in a way he didn’t have to say, here’s bias, here’s bias, here’s bias, Dr Hughes did so herself in her answers.
I've been in an abusive relationship where I was afraid for my life....I NEVER would have given him a knife or any other kind of weapon as a gift.
The most egregious thing here is that Dr Hughes charges $500/hr for her services. I'd want my money back.
😂😂😂
"I didn't get paid for $100/hr it is $500." lol.
Right lol I'd want my money back for the lawyers to lol
Thats actually pretty reasonable.....for a DECENT expert!
$500 an hour is cheap for a psychologist who only intends on prescribing your drug of choice without actually diagnosing you with anything.
Your coverage of this is so so SO helpful. Even as an attorney, this stuff is out of my wheelhouse. It’s also triggering, but hearing your voice over it makes it feel like I’m watching with a friend 🥰 (plus the law nerds are all great company)
Why did they not bring up her jealousy with the Dr Hughes … she is the one who was doing all of what she says he did
Ditto xx
You mean *false memories*?
I think this is more complex even... I never saw a case when a "therapist" is the one projecting... so bizarre!
Considering her impressive CV -after one paragraph listening in to this "muffin top" narrating her "assessment"- I seriously wonder how on earth did she acquire all her titles... perhaps at the Puyallup County Fair?
This is ludicrous!!!
Can you imagine how difficult it is to get a professional PTSD diagnoses even w/ all the documented horrific facts by "experts" (physicians, police officers, evaluators)??!
Yet this "unqualified" -despite her CV- expert just happen to diagnosed AH w/PTSD, nonchalantly on basis of hearsay & a few sentences from others she randomly ripped out of context, while ignoring other statements.... as if she'd distributed poker cards for the next round of a poker game & then over x added some significant PTSD-keywords (& their frequency of course) that are characteristic for PTSD!
NEVER EVER did I hear someone first stating "this is my diagnosis" & THEN tries to find the right puzzle pieces that strengthen her *guess* while at the same x "ignoring" relevant & related other statements/ additional or descriptive information [sic]!
This is beyond malpractice even, it's insane!
She's obviously insane! This woman needs to change jobs!
Why wouldn’t she administer the whole test. How could she score it if it wasn’t fully administered. I’m a nurse. I use various scales. I can’t score them if I don’t complete all sections. This woman gives “experts” a bad name. How can she determine AH has PTSD if she didn’t administer the test.
She can’t. The CAPS-5 test is the gold standard test for PTSD. It’s THE test that the VA uses for evaluating our service members when they have concerns of PTSD and other similar mental health concerns.
It's also a structured interview. She would have to perform this psychometric test in a very specific way because that's how it was validated. The way she performed the test does not seem appropriate, unless there's something I'm missing.
@@Thi-Nguyen I can confirm this, I have been diagnosed by the VA.
@@scottwade3600 I worked for the VA for 10 years and served myself. I currently receive my mental health care there also. While I worked there, I was a part of a committee that addressed how “disruptive behavioral situations” were addressed, so I got a pretty in depth education on testing that was used, techniques for de-escalation, actual patient ‘take-down’ techniques, and a bunch of other stuff. It was really fascinating. Kind of made me regret not going into the field when I was much younger and able to do so.
Did not care about this trial at all until my sister in law told me to come watch your channel. LOVE learning about this form of law. It’s not only helpful for my work as a paralegal, but also as a writer! Thank you for your insight!
She is starting to feel the weight of the scrutiny…she didn’t think anyone would go this far looking at her notes- of which her bias comes out
Heard Expert: There were some things I disagreed with. Like I disagree with Laurel Anderson about it being mutual abuse.
Depp Lawyer: So stuff you disagree with you disregard and the rest you keep. Correct?
Heard Expert: That's not correct.
Me: What? But you just... O.o
It’s fascinating that a supposed forensic psychologist would produce such a shoddy work product for a high profile case. It makes one wonder what her testimony in other cases looked like. Is it sloppiness or an underhanded means of introducing damaging hearsay to the jury?
You're so right. Any attorneys who have lost - or settled - cases in which she was used as an expert witness should be moving to have every case reviewed. As should any professional associations, let alone educational institutions, be reconsidering her competence. She is a hack for hire, with zero respect for the law or her profession.
Simple answer: Arrogance.
I've had this same question in mind since she introduced herself as having testified in 50+ cases. If this is how she presents in a huge high level case, how many other cases has she swayed with her bias and negligent work? How many other victims have been punished for daring to stand up to their abusers because this psychologist decided "board certified" means more than ethical evaluations.

@@tartnouveau3652 Maybe, the judge is thinking that it doesn't count as an impeachable because of no conviction?
If you're referring to the 2009 arrest, it's because no charges were pressed, her Partner at the time said it didn't happen and that Amber was falsely arrested and in 2011 there was a request from her attorney to have her arrest erased from the records since she wasn't charged (apparently that's something you cancdo in Washington state). So as far as the courts are concerned it didn't happen.

The medication option during J.D.'s rehab, turned into a Amber controlling scenario!!
During a very very vulnerable and humble time in J.D's world.
It's like we're seeing narcissism first hand!!
This so called "expert" seems more like a professional mom trying to coddle Amber and justify her poor behavior.
Right?! Don’t you get soccer Karen mom vibes?!
@@vangelina09 yep
Def dance mom vibes
The number of times Hughes had to clarify for Umbridge that the DSM-5 was not the name of the test is just laughable.
Right! And the DSM-V is fucking huge! It's a giant text book, not a test.
@TexMechs I’d call it more like a reference manual (its like a dictionary for mental disorders) no? But seriously??? These witnesses! 😵💫
I like how Dennison listens to Dr. Hughes' answers and gives her space to reply. It shows courtesy to the witness.
Makes an even bigger impression on the jury after how rude and aggressive Amber's lawyers were, definitely good for Johnny even if it wasn't intentional (although it probably is)
Not only that, but her alleged "PTSD" could have occured prior to her relationship with Johnny, especially considering the article written by her own hand that states she experienced trauma as a child.
She/Dr ignored the main standard tests which showed the diagnosis (PBD/HPD) or lack there of (PTSD) claiming results were normal, & put through her own checklists which were inappropriate
The only reason we’re learning about Amber and her behavior is because her latest victim ( JD ) happened to have vast resources of extreme charm, money and contacts.
Anyone other than JD would have been completely destroyed by Amber. 😳
As a medical transcriptionist, I can’t believe how incomplete the medical records are! These are medicolegal documents! No Way - under my watch - would I have signed off on these notes. I would have sent the notes back to the doctor to complete!!!!
I was thinking that it seems like she just talked to Amber, then went back and filled in what she remembered
And rightfully so! Thank you sooo much for fighting for sticking to professional standards!
That one test was not transcribed even! Just her handwriting!
@@Kayrim_Borlan I actually think it was a last minute "assessment" that she did in her own time. I don't think she spoke to Amber at all, or at least not much about PTSD around the time that assessment was conducted. I'm wondering whether perhaps Heard's legal team realised by late 2021 that there wasn't an actual, solid assessment to measure Amber's supposed PTSD, went "Oh, shit" and went to Hughes to fill out the forms which she did poorly on.
Broken system
🔴🔴🔴Boom
She coaches “victims” on how to respond in court. Amber is going to go by her recommendations when speaking in court!!!!
“Oriented to a different time to complete a checklist …” is my new favorite saying. I’ll definitely remember that when my student loans don’t arrive “on time” .. “sorry, big bank, oriented to a different time…”
Good one 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
When she testified about giving a lecture to the local bar association she used the verbiage the victims as her or she. Ever time and that had nothing to do with this case at all.
Good point William. This says to me this is her standard conduct.
One thing to remember is that for cultural reasons, men are much less likely to report domestic violence against them from a woman and are also much less likely to see a doctor about it if possible to avoid that.
@@jwoolman5 I agree that men are probably less likely to report. Unfortunately, Dr. Hughes is only making it more difficult for male victims to come forward and be believed. Her behavior and language is atrocious.
HI Emily! I know this is over a year old,I 've watched a bunch of your content ,even the series you've been doing recently about the side bars and NetFlix show. Basically a replay with other creators' footage being used. I finally subscribed to your channel. Guess I'm a Law Nerd now. Keep up the good work,take care and stay real!!!
I did NOT like her snarkiness about her “notes”, and how the attorney had his but she can’t have hers.
Emily is such a knowledgeable attorney on procedure, strategy, tactics and basic lawyering things.
As a fellow artist, I think he is probably drawing and painting as a way to stay calm and stay relaxed during such a stressful time 🎨💜
Completely agree. I do the same and it actually helps me concentrate, increases my ability to recall what I'm hearing, and greatly decreases my anxiety.
@@Maple_mable his portraits are incredible 💜
IV never been so addicted to a trial like I am this one. We all love johnny
Emily, your play by play commentary is greatly appreciated for increasing my understanding and enjoyment of this case. Thank you.
She still has her own residence from before the marriage. It’s so tacky and gross that she took men to the ECB penthouse instead of her own place. Such a user.
One of her neighbors in Johnny’s building said she lived there with her friends. She’s never alone.
As a replay crew member who is a survivor of childhood sa and who is severely disabled with PTSD (I’m 53) there is no distinction between PTSD from childhood or adult trauma, it’s just a big trauma stew!! Love your input Emily, Thankyou xxx
She used stereotypical gendered terms all throughout her definitional testimony. Not once, when defining terms, did she use gender neutral terms. The only time she implies a man can be a victim of IPV is within a same sex relationship. So she still seems to imply that only men can be the perpetrators of IPV, even if their victims are also male.
Exactly, but after that she called Amber an actor and not an actresses, so she knows how to be pc
Ya seemed to only view male victims. Boyscout. Prison, and gay, male on male, not women and men situations.
He is the last thing you see before you are not an expert any longer.
Question about the jury: What happens if a jury member is super expressive and like reacts out loud or their facial reactions are over-expressive? Because I would be sitting there gasping at everything lol
They can be spoken to by the judge or excused from service. That's why there as are usually more than 10-12 depending on the state.
@@fostecc and this is why when im an adult my jury duty philosophy will be to show nothing and then get into an unreasonably passionate debate during the deliberation if i have to in order to properly express my thoughts and reasoning -._-.
Same 😂
It heavily depends on the judge. Sone juries are quite expressive and others are stoic. Sometimes judges will ask juries to refrain from being too expressive but everyone is human.
I’ve done jury duty. Everyone was quite solemn and we all bonded and tried to be open minded but stoic in the courtroom. This trial was wild though. Sounds like the jury was very good and we can thank the judge in part for being professional and formal with them. Jurors tend to follow the judges lead I think.
I can’t imagine how hard all this is for Johnny to have to listen to
both forensic therapist and Amber by detailing humiliating acts that none of them have any proof is being abusive. I think JD attorneys letting them speak to show the world what a hack she is and Amber is clearly making Johnnys case but I am amazed by his courage. I get triggered by this stuff!
Honestly there have been times in this case where I needed a brake or just couldn’t hear it ,very triggering ! being a survivor of narcissistic abuse I’m so proud of Johnny’s courage!
Witness commented that she could determine who was the abuser in a relationship, by only hearing one side of the story! Shocking!!! Clearly a biased witness who came across to me as someone who hates men in general...
Winning comment
And she can even diagnose the abuser with only reading some docs.
@@Nisa-yq9so She has special powers, she just "knows" things
I think she needs to be tested for her own narciccism
Very unprofessional.
Less than 20min in, and already STAN Johnny Deep team even more. They are sharp but also actually let Hughes answer the question
1:58:20
So Dr Hugh's expects us to believe that AH didn't tell her legal team that she was given the CAPS-5 by Dr Curry? I doubt that Dr Hugh's didn't find out, until Feb.
Hello. I just started watching this video, this is the first one I have ever seen of your videos, and I subscribed. I am 46 years old and studying for a law degree, a little late in life but better late than never lol. I look forward to watching your other videos because you seem knowledgeable and cool! Thank you ~ Wendy
Doctors and therapists don’t believe their clients like they’re saying. You can believe their perception is real to them. A good clinician requires proof, hence assessments and collateral. The psych witness is weak sounding. Very interested I Dr. Curry testifying again.
It is surprising a slew of her therapists would just take her word for it that she was so beat up. Where there's no Energency Room evidence no recordings nothing.
I agree with another posted comment about how hard it can be to find Emily’s feed. Even though I am subscribed, spend hours a day - it’s like UA-cam is not popping it in my algorithm. Makes me even more determined to only watch this 😊✌️
I wasn't notified either.
I have her on my sub list but other court watcher channels come up. She's at the top of my Search bar. That part of YT remembers...
compared to Dr. Curry this expert psychologist is pretty unlikeable -she really seems angry and as if she has a chip on her shoulder.
So HER giving HIM a giant knife with an inscription is a threat from HIM to HER?!
Damn, I forgot how blatantly this woman refused to believed women can abuse men
@ronswasonbutcuter4474
She was an angry woman against men,that's for sure!
@@rebeccamcclelland6570w😊😊
A thought I had about Dr. Hughes after yesterday's testimony: She seems to think the rules don't apply to her and she openly flaunts them. There is a faction in the APA who wants to take personality disorders out of the DSM VI when it's published because they're 'humanists' and don't want to hurt people's feelings with diagnoses. Translation: They have personality disorders and don't want to be called out on it anymore. Thinking the rules don't apply to you is a trait of Cluster B personality disorders. She also doesn't test for personality disorders. I wonder if Dr. Hughes is in this faction.
I got this vibe too. After she was breaking the notes rule over and over I couldn’t hear anything she had to say. I just kept thinking she can’t follow the directions that were asked of her.
As someone with BPD I can only say I wa sactually pretty relieved when I finally got my diagnosis. I knew something was very wrong with me, and I didn't function the way I should, and kept blaming myself for it. I developed unhealthy coping mechanisms, all under the umbrella of "I'm just a whimp, I need to pull.myself together".
When I was diagnosed I finally felt validated. It helped in getting the right treatment and getting me on a path to deal with life in a much better way.
There's certainly a ton of stigma out there, and cases such as these don't help, duh.
But getting rid of it because it hurts feelings? What? Are we gonna stop telling people they have cancer to not hurt their feelings?
Hughes was arrogant in her attitude and appeared to resent not being the person in control.
This women looks mean
It's such a thrill to watch Emily's channel grow! I keep looking at her subscriber count and get so excited each time she hits another thousand! Can't think of a more deserving and hardworking queen! ❤️🥰❤️
I'm totally against abuse in any manner or form toward women, men, children, and animals, but something is not right with this woman. And the expert testimony I liked from the get-go was from Dr. Curry. She was more professional and detached from emotions to some degree whereas the other expert was too involved emotionally as a family member or friend would be. Of course psychologist care about the welfare of their patients but not to the degree of this nurse. When Amber started crying, the word that popped in to my mind was the word "feign". I'm an empathetic woman but something just doesn't sit right with me. Ms. Heard, undoubtedly, needs healing and so does Johnny, but I still say it again, that if anyone was abused, it was Johnny Depp not her! As far as the drugs and the liquor they both abused themselves. But Johnny was abused by Amber!
Right, and the testimony about Depps demeanor while under the influence was so important… he goes super mellow not confrontational. Until she comes in manipulatively goading reactions from him.
Agreed. Anyone abused would not be up there so gleeful. She abused him for years. Guilty as charged
I am a survivor of domestic violence and I do not believe Amber heard at all. I suffer from PTSD Amber heard does not have it at all.
While watching Amber Heard, I felt like I was in a movie. Pauses, recoveries, emphatic story telling, and complete face wipes then restarts when given the go ahead. She also has contradicted her own testimony so far. 1. "I only did drugs with Johnny once". But she reports taking MDMA on a plane with him and taking shrooms in the desert. 2. "We gave her drugs" Why would someone who reportedly is anti drug claim that? I've also noticed that she's always the savior in her stories. At the Caravan campfire, SHE saved this random girl from the clutches of Johnny. It wasn't his bodyguard, who testified that he stepped in to move them to their caravan away from people. If Johnny is getting grabby with all these random women, threatening them, tell me why they aren't reporting it to tabloids for fat cash? So many inconsistencies.
@@Juliettee1061 I think what Amber really doesn't understand is that the lies will catch up with her and she's receiving so much negativity from the public, so much so, that she had to fire her old PR staff and hire a new ones just to make herself look like the victim. Johnny just wants to clear his name, and don't you think he knew that all this junk would be brought out whether it was about her or him, but he's risking it because he's innocent and he's trying to clear his name. I don't wish Amber any ill-will at all, and it would be great if she were to turn around and ask Johnny to forgive her and admit that she was wrong, and that she is the aggressor not Johnny.
If you pay attention to the first time Hughes was on stand. ..when Johnny's lawyer asked for a copy of her notes, she put a green folder real quick. And pulled notes out one piece of paper at a time
I hope you're happy Emily. I'm watching all of this trial and all your talk of muffins made me want muffins so I learned how to make blueberry muffins from scratch just to eat them while listening to this 😂😂😂 my husband and coworkers thank you 😂
Based on AH self-report, Flatiron did a "concussion check" OVER THE PHONE. Found none. Self-report, routine check, nothing there. Hughes said, "they went for a concussion check". That's slightly different, isn't it.
Concussion checks are Never done on the phone... legally they cannot be. Lye number.......... hmm I lost count.
How can you test for concussion on the phone?? Surely a visit to the hospital would have been better than ringing someone up to get tested for concussion.
This doctor seems oddly protective of Amber. Not that I expect her to be cold and uncaring, but she just seems very familiar and personal when talking about things. It feels like she’s advocating for Amber as a person rather than speaking to Amber’s mental health. That’s not necessarily bad in a therapy context, but in this context it’s sus. Like I’m waiting for someone to reveal that she’s actually Amber’s aunt or something lol
She is definitely taking on a therapy role here. She is clearly having a hard time separating this job from her advocacy for women who experience ipv.
I agree, like she forgot what's her role as forensic psychologist and instead went full on personal. And all of her findings, tests she administered, methodology and results got lost in this advocacy for Amber. And I think that partially Ambers lawyers are at fault here because questions they asked dr. Hughes didn't seem so well structured for jury to fully understand her findings. They just kind of skipped to her 'expert' opinion. It was mumbo-jumbo.
@@sokol1203 I'm suspicious that she didn't even administer the tests. It seems kind she just talked to Amber and then filled out the sheets afterwards
Yes i thought same. More therapeutic counsellor than forensic clinician. Not sure who is hoodwinking who but i think its a mutually convenient situation..she is willing to say what AH wants because its convenient for this doctor to have a famous case back up her so called special interest niche. But its ALL smelling fishy to the enth degree imho.
@@thefurrypanda yes..underline straight women.
She is a trained man-hater. Hired by attorneys because she always testifies the same way. And she didn’t disappoint
Started watching this on accident popped up while I was scrolling about. My first thoughts was "oh another celebrity with $ trying to buy their way out. Went into watching this thinking JD was the one lying and he probably did hit her. But then something in his testimony and his mannerisms struck me as extremely familiar. It stood out as I seen this behavior before and his discription of his childhood and why he certain traits and habbits in which he deals with such a childhood was clear description to exactly what i witnessed in my mothers behavior . I am not a psychiatrist or a law student but i am a child of a mother whos mother acted exactly the way his mother did. My grandma would throw things at my grandpa while he sat in a wheelchaor blind with aputated legs and would shout hirtful words at him and he calmly would set me on his lap and softly say to me just ignore her and then woukd taljk to me about whats on tv or tell me jokes. My mother had that same ability to ignore the ranting behavior of her mother no matter how cruel she got. I always knew something was wrong about the situation because everyone acted like these things were normal. I knew because my mom was nothing like her raising me. She too once said she knew how to be a mother to me because all she had to do was be opposite of her mother. My mother like Johnny always looked at herself like they were nothing special and didnt need or want the center of the room attention. Very shy and much like him her children and family was everything she cherrished us. Nothing was ever about her it was all about our kids happiness. I sensed as a kid that the way she went out of her way for us was nice but a tad abnormal almost like she tried to fix her childhood through us. What truly hit home was his need to escape moments that felt like escalation of tensions. If anyone in the room even raised their voice during a conversation you could see my mother escape in what we called the ostrich mode. Which to us meant she would calmly and quietly leave the room to hers where she would lay down and watch tv and become very distant for days. Only long periods of a quiet calm atmosphere would emerge her from her ostrich behavior. She too took care of her mother till she passed even tho my grandma was very verbally cruel and hateful. When i got older i asked my mom why she was so kind to her when she was so cruel and she said to me that she always wanted her mother to treat her with love amd kindnesd and unconditional love but she never recieved it so even tho it hurt her heart just being near her it filled her heart that she was capable of giving what her mother couldnt.. it meant alot to her to do the right thing regaurdless to her mothers behavior and the only time my mother would stand up to her by raising her voice or respondong to her behavior was my grandma stepped over the line with my brother or i. My mom suddenly lost that shy girl that tolerated the abuse when us kids were in grandmas rage. What was always shocking to me is my mother would even handle that situation with decency. She wouldny loose her temper it just wasnt in her. She would would just suddenly speak up and say "thats it! Its time for you to leave!" The n she would hand my grandma her purse and open the door for her. She kept what she said limited and never ranted just a simple Leave and a look on her face that said the children are off limits. That strong protective parent behavior JD sounds known for to me also sounds like my mothers distinctive ptsd symptoms. Miss heard like my grandma was known for that hot cold behavior where anytime you encounter her theres a few moments of silence as you survey for what the mood for the day was... was it day that a simple hello triggers the ranting? Just never knew what wild accusations she would have or when and honestly my mother had that quiet way of dealing with it that I had the hardest time 7nderstanding why when she is a grown women, married with child did she take it and never display to her how hurtful it felt. My mother like JD also was perscribed opioids for her back pain and never understood how addicted she was to them.. i am actually floored by how i assumed he was guilty and lying and then was suddenly hit by the astonding familiarity of it all and my gut feeling is acts like someone like my mother who couldnt bring them to hurt someone even when they deserve it. She was incapable of raising her hand under extreme circumstances as if its almost a symptom to her abuse. When she spoke you could hear her conpassion for people as if she feels their pain... always hated to see anyone unhappy. She was a beautuful tortured soul that wxuded extreme kindness much like ppl are testifying about JD. Generous to a fault. Everything in my gut says he is telling the truth even when its an ugly truth. My mother was exactly like that. While i admired her super sweet kind heart and the way she could only lie when protecting someone else there was always a sense of everthing she did wad pushed by soul that was suffering the torture in every decisio of life. Again im not a psychiatrist but never before have i seen these unique traits i grew up watching in anyone else till now. Makes me wanna just reach out to him and say "i get it!" I understand the pain it takes to fight back right now and what this means to your healing"
I too wish I could reach out,,, express my compassion for JD. We understand, it’s not your fault.
I am always amused when the Auto Caption changes "Miss Heard" to "Misheard". That might be AH's next Defence argument "Everyone misheard everything I said" 😂😂
17 years wow!... we would love to see you in action in the courtroom, as a lawyer Emily oh, I'm sure you were a force to be reckoned with!
It took me a while to find your channel for coverage of the JD/AH case, after your impressive coverage for B. Spears. Your channel is way better than other similar channels. Huge congrats and thank you. Regards from Kenya.
This is really a no contest in terms of experts. Curry answered and explained how the tests where done along with loads of facts to back it up which the jury can understand. Hughes did none of this and came across as biased and almost egotistical. As Emily pointed she was saying things about Depp as if they were facts purely based on what Amber said. The walk back on her part didn't help them and if Curry is brought back Hughes is going to get torn apart. In a effort to discredit Depp expert Amber team may have ended up making her look even more believable and handed Depp side another win.
I think you're giving Hughes too much credit. I would say very egotistical, not just almost.
@@Kayrim_Borlan Of course after watching Amber she seems almost nice. Amber was so bad on the stand.
@@magnus33john I'm a bit behind, about to start watching Amber's testimony so we'll see how that changes things
@@Kayrim_Borlan Its like watching a slow motion car crash where you know you should look away you just can't. Really bad acting and surprisingly bad given the time they had to prepare.
Rewatching what I missed in the beginning of the trial, also, I just recently came across you a few days ago and need to watch all of your prior coverage of this trial. You’ve quickly become my favorite channel to watch for this!!!
When I was diagnosed with PTSD after surviving an attempted murder 23 years ago, I was told it would be a lifelong battle and it is something I live with every day, so I'm totally confused about them saying she had PTSD 3 different times?? What, what??
Maybe they meant there were new traumas?
I completely agree! I’m a Survivor of very violent DV & SA and was diagnosed with ptsd back in 2008, and have been living with it ever since, not at separate times when it’s convenient.
@@simmiedavissimmiesings8185 Possibly, but it made zero sense that they specifically said she had PTSD 3 different times. What would make sense to me, and this is how it was phrased by my doctor..."you have PTSD from your initial trauma and when you were traumatized a second time it exacerbated the same diagnosis, which is PTSD." Never ONCE did I hear that "expert" ever say that Amber was DIAGNOSED with PTSD! She ONLY said she showed signs of it on 3 different occasions. PTSD has become a go to buzz word and it pisses me off because I'm sick of hearing stories of people saying they have PTSD because someone took their parking spot!!! It devalues the horrific traumas people like myself have survived. I'm sorry, rant over.
@@liljennysilver4835 can PTSD symptoms be more pronounced at some times and not at others?
So that she might mean (should have said) "there were PTSD symptoms three times".
Or are the symptoms more "constant"?
@@mkpetersen1607 Absolutely. You never know when or what can trigger you. My whole point with Amber is "I don't believe her." I survived, testified and put my perp away for 25 years in a super max. I also know that I'm the minority in this situation. Far too few women report and to go a little further, even fewer have a successful prosecution, so I KNOW my opinion may not be viewed favorably, but I do not believe Amber and this false narrative that she's trying to make us believe hurts "real survivors" and will keep more victims silent in the future and that's a travesty.
