If Anyone Deserves To Be Canceled, It’s Amber Heard

We stand with you Johnny Depp. We don't support abusers.

The justice system has failed again as Johnny Depp lost his libel case against the British newspaper The Sun. The newspaper referred to Depp as a wife-beater and abused his now ex-wife Amber Heard.

After losing this case, Warner Bros. asked Depp to resign from his role in "Fantastic Beasts: 3."

This is what he posted to his Instagram after he lost his case and role from the movie:


Unfortunately, justice has failed Depp and his career seems to be over. Unless he wins his appeal, I think Depp's acting career and his life will always be tainted with the name Amber Heard.

I will not say that I am 100% certain that Johnny Depp is innocent and Amber Heard is guilty. You can never be sure and no one besides those two know the true story. While I can only speculate, I base this opinion off of the hard facts and evidence.

There is clear audio between the two where Heard confesses over and over how she DID hit Depp. He has claimed that she is the abuser and there are pictures of bruises on Depp's face.

Men can be abused too, verbally and physically. Why should we automatically believe Heard? She admitted to hitting him and yet that didn't seem to be enough.

Listen to the audio here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg9SvQSMnoE

It's interesting when Depp asks her if she believes she has physically abused him, she hesitates and responds with how it's not possible for her to physically abuse him since she only weighed 115 pounds. I don't think anyone believes Heard knocked him off his feet and started beating him up, but that doesn't mean physical abuse did not take place. Domestic violence doesn't just mean one thing.

From another audio recording, we can hear Heard mock Depp for asking his friend to come to him after alleging that Heard got physically violent with him. Heard also admits to not punching Depp, but hitting him.

Here are some key moments from the audio:

Heard: "I'm sorry that I didn't hit you across the face in a proper slap…. But I was hitting you, it was not punching you. You're not punched."

Depp: "Don't tell me what it feels like to be punched."

Heard: "You didn't get punched. You got hit…. But you're fine. I did not hurt you. I did not punch you...You are such a baby."

So she admits to hitting him and then tells him that he is fine and is just being a baby about it. I didn't realize that physical abuse had exceptions and that hitting someone is not physical abuse, according to Heard. Also according to Heard, Depp is a baby for asking his friend to come and "rescue" him after she was hitting him. If she is innocent at all, she isn't doing a very good job at all.

Listen to the full audio of Heard mocking him and admit to hitting him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc4hf4w7QXA

Remember this: just because someone is a female does not make them a victim. We cannot say that 100% of abuse cases are men abusing females. Just because we hear more about women being the victims doesn't mean that other cases don't exist. Why isn't anyone standing up for him? She admitted to physically hurting him and nothing was done about it? She gets to keep her role in Aquaman 2 but his career and life is now trashed because of her.

Maybe I'm wrong and Depp was in the wrong at some point in their relationship, but I believe in the facts and based on the evidence, it is clear how Heard does not deserve any fame, money or pity. I don't support liars and abusers. I don't support people who try to bring others down. Depp shouldn't be the one losing his career. Heard should be the one resigning from movies and stepping down as an actress.

What goes around comes around, Heard. Keep that in mind. The truth always comes out eventually.

I was never impressed by her acting skills from any movie she was in and I'm not impressed by her acting skills now as she takes on the role of "victim." She might want to try a different career path.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
