Dateline stated that they had reviewed multiple documents from a doctor who had made accusations concerning Amber Heard’s domestic abuse before her interview with Savannah Guthrie aired today. In a sneak peek, Heard said that the doctor had material dating back to 2011 that indicated incidents of physical violence.
Netizens, on the other hand, reacted angrily to these assertions. Most people believe Amber Heard is putting on a show, and many of them took to Twitter to vent their displeasure. As one user put it:
“It occurs to me that Amber Heard is putting whichever therapist she claims those notes are from at risk, as California is a mandated reporting state. She will ruin anyone to try to save herself.”

She will ruin anyone to try to save herself.
Amber Heard’s interview was teased in a 20-minute preview clip by Peacock. It was reported that NBC’s Dateline show received multiple documents from a doctor. It “represented years of real-time explanations of what was going on,” according to reports.
It also came with a “binder” with specific details about Amber Heard’s 2011 romance with Depp. The actress also claimed in the video that she was reporting the assault to an unnamed doctor.
NBC will air notes from 2012 alleging that the Pirates of the Caribbean actor “hit her, threw her against a wall, and threatened to kill her” in the upcoming episode.
Amber Heard admits to still being in love with Johnny Depp, saying, “I have no ill will towards him”
The documents could not be admitted into evidence during Heard’s sensationalized defamation trial against Depp due to “hearsay,” according to the Post.
Before the documents were released, Heard said that she “definitely” still loves Johnny Depp in a preview tape released on Wednesday. She continued, “
“I adored him to the core of my being. I did everything I could to make a profoundly broken relationship work, but it was impossible. I have no ill thoughts or animosity for him.”
The actress stated in a Tuesday sneak peek that she “stands by every word” she said during her trial.
The jury unanimously decided in favour of Depp after a six-week slander trial. Damages totaling $10.35 million were granted to him. The actor was supposed to be paid $15 million at first. Judge Penny Azcarate, however, capped the amount owing to Virginia state rules.
Amber Heard’s therapy notes have gotten a lot of attention on the internet
The legitimacy of the documents, which were allegedly authored by a doctor, did not convince Internet users. Many people commented that the doctor’s notes appeared to be therapy notes.
Heard may have lied to the therapist and given a misleading idea of the episodes that would have transpired with her husband, according to internet users.
Among the tweets were the following:
One said, “The therapist’s notes are simply a written record of Amber Heard’s ad nauseum story.”
Another said, “there’s a reason therapists’ notes aren’t used in court; they’re hearsay, relying solely on one person’s description of events with no supporting evidence. A narcissist can lie to their therapist just as readily as they can lie under oath in court.”
WHile another said, “why did Amber Heard need therapy in the first place, and why didn’t her therapist report any “abuse” he or she was advised of, since she has years of therapist notes? Perhaps it was because they didn’t believe her and were scrutinising her.”
1. Amber Heard, what you tell your therapist is proof of nothing. It’s subjective lies.

2. No real domestic abuse victim would ever release details of their therapy sessions. It’s private and traumatizing to recount.#AmberHeardlsAnAbuserhttps://t.co/PDX9q9T5EH
If Amber Heard has years of therapists notes – why was she needing therapy in the first place and why didn't her therapist report any "abuse" he/she was informed of? Maybe because they didn't believe her and were analysing her.

Amber Heard’s interview with Johnny Depp elicits a response from Johnny Depp
In response to Heard’s soon-to-be-released interview with NBC, a Depp spokesman told Dateline that after winning the lawsuit, Johnny wants to “move forward.” They also stated:
“It’s regrettable that, at a time when Johnny is trying to go on with his life, the defendant and her team are rehashing, reinventing, and re-litigating topics that have already been determined by the Court and a jury verdict that was unanimously and decisively in Johnny’s favour.”
The whole interview with Amber Heard will air on NBC’s Dateline on Friday, June 17.
There’s a reason why those therapist notes are not evidence.. it’s hearsay.. basically she can make anything up.. is dumb. Not a single thing is creditable. #amberheard
