Just giving my opinion on this- you're right they both did bad shit to each other, but the reason for the hate against her is because of the defamation shit, she admitted in court (on accident, as she always claimed otherwise) that the article she wrote was about Depp and he wasn't doing the things she claimed he did, it was always assumed it was about him, but she always said it wasn't about him specifically, but everyone believed it was, and due to that, he lost all his roles and was villainized and was essentially black listed
Idk if you watched any of the trial, but it was pretty clear she was lying about a lot of things, and her story wasn't adding up in multiple instances, the fact that she convinced the majority of people that it was all Depp being abusive and was this awful person and she was an innocent victim who did nothing at all, but it turns out she was arguably more abusive than he was
Also the fact that she lied about the abuse from him has potential implications- she's gonna make it harder for woman that ARE victims of abuse to be believed, or have the courage to speak up about the abuse out of fear they won't be believed, and then the abuse will become even worse
Government has no right no business interfering with what she or he may say. Period. That would be censorship. NOW FINALLY WE CAN APPLY THE SECOND CONDITION OF THIS POINT THAT FUCKING ARROGANT SELF RIGHTEOUS ASSHOLES WHO ALL PRETEND TO BE "law and legal and govt experts" PREACH NONSTOP "it's not censorship when a private entity censors it's censorship when it's government telling people what to say"
Lawsuit = GOVERNMENT INFERERENCE IN FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Period.
As if the government (COURTS = GOVERNMENT) give a shit about lying. Yeah - RIIIIIIIGHT. Yeah -- politicians are not all in court.
Sorry, she is allowed to say ANYTHING she wants on her platform or whatever platform agrees to have her. He is allowed to say ANYTHING he wants on his platform or whatever platform agrees to have him.
No sympathy for judges for this artificial "contempt of law" garbage.
She/he should simply not show up to court. Period.
And forcing somebody to court IS COMMUNISM, SOCIALISM. And according to ALL anticommunists ALL antisocialists, which would be practically all republicunts and democrap politicians and voters, communism/socialism is ALWAYS bad and ALL bad.

"Depp being abusive and was this awful person and she was an innocent victim who did nothing at all, but it turns out she was arguably more abusive than he was"
Then he should just write wtf he wants about her - doesn't even have to be true. Can be True and negative. True and positive. (For the sake of, say, total honesty & fairness, if he wants to go that route.) False and negative. False and positive. (Don't know why he'd go out of his way to do that, but he has the right.)
In ancient times before there was this thing called social media, when you had cases like this of "She Said, He Said" the person with the most money and power and influence won the media battle in the court of public opinion.
But today social media influencers are more powerful than how much money or lawyers you may have, so now the court of public opinion is determined by how many fans you have on your social media accounts.
I did not watch or read the court case, because I found it disgusting that the media was paying more newstime attention to a couple of spoiled brat celebrities than they were giving airtime to more serious subjects like the war in Ukraine, so I tuned out and avoided the Depp v Heard debate, but it is obvious to me why all the hate has been directed at Amber Heard, because:
Johhny Depp has 45 million real fans and followers on Twitter, Instagram and Tik Tok
Amber Heard has 10 million followers on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok....and most of her followers are not true fans at all but Depp fans lining up to put the boot in.
Depp is teflon, like the well known serial abuser Michael Jackson, i.e. no matter what he does he has tens of millions of fans who will ignore whatever bad things he does and they will attack anyone who tries to speak out against him.
If Depp were Jack the Ripper he would have an army of social media followers to spread hate against his victims.

THIS! And a many other more serious subjects, too, like factory farming + Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) + inequality of pay while people are still being forced to be born without their consent by breeders.
And, Wamtec: DEFINITELY do NOT watch "Pam and Tommy" on Hulu.com! It will make your blood boil: Tommy (played by Sebastian Stan) is the most disgusting abusive spoiled rich asshole, abusing the hard construction worker (played by Seth Rogen): constantly changing plans, not paying for a job. I could not get past the first half of the first episode. Now, I have no idea how accurate these events are. I got a strong feeling they are deliberately over-the-top for dramatic effect, to heighten the outrage, the drama. But, yeah - if there's any truth to the story, what an asshole this drummer Tommy Lee was/is.
