The libel lawsuit facing these days Johnny Depp with his ex-wife Amber Heard in the courts of Virginia, USA, every day he donates substantial material to the gossip press. Grim details of the relationship, terrible cross-accusations and even the subtle gestures of the protagonists are the talk of those who love the ins and outs of Hollywood’s B-side and its stars.
In this sense, now one more detail of the court process that has drawn attention of those who rigorously follow this scandalous legal duel between two people who loved each other. It is that users have noticed the very disturbing fact that Heard copies Depp’s clothes and looks in an almost traceable fashion. It’s like that. If the actor wears certain clothes one day of the process, the next day he wears the exact same outfit.
This strange action of the actress, which has practically become a habit over the days of the trial, has generated all kinds of theories and speculations among network users following the trial. But in any case, conjecture suggests that the accused of defamation uses the trick of copying the wardrobe to have a psychological impact on her ex-husband.
The Twitter User Isabella It was one of many who exposed this peculiar situation of the outfit between the exes in dispute. “One of the most pinball of the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard it’s that she literally reproduces her looks the next day”, he wrote in his message to which, to illustrate what he was saying, he added a series of photos in which, in fact, we saw that Heard was copying Depp’s look.
In the images, which are split in two, the two are seen in similar colors and outfits. And in one of the photos, although the garment itself is not identical, what the actress exactly copied is a kind of bee that had Depp printed on the tie.
A detail that shows to what extent the level of observation of heard when it comes to her ex-husband, who at this point in time judgment is he who sits at the bar.
To discover the reasons that would lead Heard to imitate the looks of her ex-husband, THE NATION consulted the psychology graduate Veronique Posterarowho warned from the start that the attitude of the actress “has many readings”.
First, the specialist mentioned the Austrian psychologist, later based in England, Melanie Klein, specializing in the treatment of children, who coined the term “identification with the aggressor”. And he pointed out that this concept defines “a very archaic and complex defense mechanism used unconsciously by those who have been victims of a violent or traumatic event”. In case of abuse, rape, or violent act, the victim “feels a devastating anguish” and merges with the person who harmed him”protect yourself psychologically, so as not to feel pain, not physical, but mental”.
“This mechanism of IDENTIFIER It is a way of internalizing the aggressive characteristics of the aggressor in an attempt to control him – continues the psychologist -. That is, the victim identifies with a person they fear, which in this case would be Amber Heard with Johnny Depp”.
Anyway, Posteraro he is aware that this is a possible interpretation, and says that “it must be taken with a grain of salt”, before moving on to a second possibility. A) Yes, the attitude of the actress to clone her ex’s clothes It can also be interpreted as “a way of identifying themselves, of showing that they are family, or that they have the same values”, according to the specialist, who gives as an example of this reading what different tribes do. urban, especially adolescents. , who are identified by the way they dress and by their outfits, as the ‘dark’.
Another reading of graduate in psychology graduated from UBA This is a manipulation of the actress towards her accuser. “The third problem is that it seems like a bit of a deliberate manipulation on his part. Because looking at what Depp is wearing and wearing the same thing the next day is something perverse. There is manipulation there. To what end? I don’t know, you’d have to get inside his head a bit. Maybe so he could sympathize with her, which I highly doubt will happen,” he explained. Postponed.
It must be said that the interpretation that supports the manipulation by the actress has been one of the most repeated among users of social networks, who have spoken, among other things, of a “psychological tactic to subdue him”.
Posteraro then makes a racconto of the alternatives of the trial, to see to understand the attitudes of each of the speakers. “There is an old relationship. They were married and divorced and she accuses him of beating him and he in turn sued her for defamation. But Depp he lost other lawsuits too, in fact lost a contract with Disney so you have to take his behavior with a grain of salt.
“Finally, it was discovered that she lied about the use of makeup she used to hide the bruises he left when he hit her, and the makeup company she used back when she was victim in quotes, from Johnny Depp it was not for sale. So if you lied, Amber, what’s stopping you from lying now?“, added the psychologist.
“The thing is, it’s quite intriguing. very intriguing and it has many prospects,” he concluded. Posteraro.
The hearings of the lawsuit for defamation between Depp and Heard These are Mondays and Thursdays. To know if the strategy of the actress to dress like her ex-wife is still valid, we will have to pay attention to the clothes with which she will appear next Thursday in Virginia Court.
