I mean it probably should given that the term given in the article is "domestic abuse" which encompasses more than just the physical violence the trial has been focused on.

If I have a point it's that this is nebulous enough to me that I have no idea how Depp expects to win. Not to mention the net result of people saying "not naming any names or details but I experienced domestic abuse" being considered a legally actionable claim of libel is uh. Probably not good.

Yeah that's a good summary, people are coming at Heard as if everything she's saying is made up but all she needs is ONE credible instance of abuse to not be lying and that's not totally out of the picture imo.

Don't think it works that way. Her article wasn't about one instance, it was about a pattern of conduct. And as far as the defense being that she didn't refer to him by name - it's hard for her to make this argument while also making a defense based on truth. And she hasn't to my knowledge indicated who the article was talking about if not the plaintiff.
