Wasn't there some evidence that Depp abused Heard as well

Not really.

and that they were in a mutually abusive relationship? It's possible for both to be victims, but not on the same level, for Heard to have been lying about the specific allegations that were the subject of the trial, but not about others. There doesn't have to be one victim or "the victim." Toxic relationships are often mutually abusive.

In abstract you're right. But in this case there really isn't a "both sides" defense. Heard beat Depp, yelled at him, chased him around the house, cheated on him, cut his finger off and falsely accused him of raping and beating her. She lied under oath repeatedly, including about donating his money to charity and made maliciously made an article with the attempt to ruin his life and career.

There's pretty much 0 evidence that Depp did anything to Heard and what records we do have show Depp repeatedly trying to get away from Heard while she followed him, screaming insults at him and hitting him.

Depp's "abuse" is that he was drunk and high a lot and passed out sometimes.

Even as we speak now months after the trial, Depp is just doing music and shit, while Heard is still slinging mud at him at every oppotunity.

Trying to both sides this is like I said earlier trying to both sides Chris Brown beating up Rihanna and claiming it's mutal and she's abusive too. Then looking into her past aggressively to find faults to bring up. It's kind of fucked up.

This is not to defend Heard, she was clearly abusive. But I think there was evidence that he did bad things to her. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You're wrong.

There's a solid reason why the both siders who are trying to demonize Depp can't actually respond to any basic questions and can't refer to Depp as a victim or Heard as an abuser.

yes. the media circus conveniently ignored it though

Like what?

And the media was pretty much entirely pro Amber until about 60% into the trial when the evidence was overwhelming.

I'd argue it's even worse. At least Trumpers are attacking vague establishments like Democrats and political systems.

The Heard supporters are attacking individual domesitic abuse survivors and trying to "Both sides" their abuse. It's super fucked up. And they know full well they're doing it too. QAnon Trumpers at least tend to be too stupid to realize how stupid they sound.
