Amber Heard’s friend Tillett Wright defended her abuse claims on Twitter last night, saying she was on the phone while Johnny Depp was beating her. “I was on the f*cking phone when he hit her,” she tweeted. “I HEARD HER SCREAM. I will testify. Here and in court. Under oath. WHAT ELSE DOES A WOMAN NEED?”
If we learned anything from similar cases, it’s that victims need a lot more that tangible proof and witnesses.
The artist, who works as a photographer and co-hosts the MTV show Suspect, went on a social media rant after a TMZ article quoted a “source” who claimed Heard showed no facial injuries after an alleged attack from her husband.
We’re told on Monday, May 23 — 2 days after the alleged attack — the daytime concierge saw Amber in the lobby, appearing to wear no makeup, and says there was no evidence of any facial bruising.
A woman who lives in the building tells TMZ, after Amber’s allegations surfaced, the concierge told her not only did Amber appear bruise-free, the concierge added, “I was about to compliment her on her complexion.”
The resident also says a second concierge told her the same thing. He saw Amber on Wednesday, May 25 — appearing to wear no makeup and again appearing bruise-free.
Wright had a lot to say in response.
BULLSHIT. I've had enough. I saw the bruises. Many times. And the fat lip. And the cut head. 😡😡😡 https://t.co/yIXrvAYuLp

How much evidence does a woman need to present?! She has photos, texts, witnesses, and filed a restraining order.

But no…a neighbor asked a doorman and talked to TMZ and THAT is headline news and serves as "evidence"?! Dear neighbor – SHAME ON YOU.

This culture of victim blaming makes me sick. I'm a witness. I'm here. I'm standing up. I can't take any more of this witch hunt.
