It’s pretty clear, from the testimony, that this was an unhealthy and dysfunctional relationship between two people who almost certainly shouldn’t have been in each others’ lives. This trial became a reality show for many, who tuned into to see the “drama” play out in real-time. On the surface, it was a defamation lawsuit; Depp sued Heard over a 2018 op-ed she wrote for [The Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ive-seen-how-institutions-protect-men-accused-of-abuse-heres-what-we-can-do/2018/12/18/71fd876a-02ed-11e9-b5df-5d3874f1ac36_story.html) about her experience with domestic violence.
