What would you think about a person who took a "dump" on your bed?

 

A woman feels no inhibitions about physically assaulting her female domestic partner in a public space (an airport). As reported in a story in The Guardian last July, an estate manager observed the woman “screaming and berating” her then husband as he yelled at her to “go away.” She also observed a “red, swelling gash” on his nose, after the woman had thrown a can of lacquer at him. The manager had previously told friends that the woman was a “thrower.” The manager described the man as “unusually kind,” and had never seen him “violent or aggressive” with the woman—who she had once seen “lunge violently” at him, and committing other “aggressive physical acts against him.”

The woman also bragged about appearing on a late night talk show with two black eyes, but her hair stylist testified that she could “see clearly” that the woman had “no marks, cuts or bruises.” On another occasion, to avoid bad publicity, a cover story was concocted to  explain how the man’s finger-tip was cut off,  when it actually occurred when the woman threw a vodka bottle at him. More recently, the woman bragged about how she was able to play convincing “bad women” in movie roles, with the interviewer failing to detect the irony of that statement. And then we learn that the woman had extorted $7 million in a divorce settlement for what she claimed would be donated to a children’s hospital and the ACLU; instead, she spent it on the only “charity” she knows: herself.

Of course we are talking about actress Amber Heard, who still has a job. Heard has been the beneficiary of being a woman, and if you point out that she is a lying, self-serving hypocrite as well as an abuser, well, that means that other women who claim to be abused will not come forward about it. But the evidence suggests that women can make any accusation they want, and they will be universally believed unless they are Supreme Court nominees, or there is evidence of that they are in fact either liars or the principle abuser, like Heard.

But as we have seen, save for a petition to get her removed from Aquaman 2, Heard has been the beneficiary of the typical double standards afforded to women. But there was one element to the story that hasn’t received any media attention in this country, because it is the kind of thing that revolts the stomach as well as the mind, and reveals just what kind of despicable excuse for a human being we are really talking about here that cannot be simply brushed aside as a “he said/she said” thing.

As reported in The Guardian, Hilda Vargas—who had been working as a housekeeper for Johnny Depp for 30 years—testified that “she was ‘horrified and disgusted’ to find ‘a large pile of feces’ in the bed the actor shared with Heard.” Depp was not at the home when this occurred, but Heard and her friends were; Heard claimed that it was one of her two Yorkshire Terriers who did the deed. These dogs are among the smallest of breeds, their average weight 4 to 7 pounds;  the amount of feces  that Vargas found would very likely have constituted half of one of the dog’s body weight. Vargas testified that “it was ‘clear’ that the excrement was human, saying she knew it could not have come from the couple’s two small dogs.”

Vargas stated that she was so angry at this “lack of respect” that she took a photograph of feces on the bed to show to her supervisor. Depp said it was a “mystery” about the source of the feces, but stated that this incident was the “last straw” for him in continuing the marriage. Vargas also stated that “she had ‘often’ heard Ms. Heard ‘yell at Mr. Depp and at other people’ and that ‘She has a bad temper in my opinion, and I did not want her to yell at me. On the contrary, in the over 30 years I have worked for Mr. Depp, I have never seen Mr. Depp be physical with or yell at anyone.’”

OK, so let’s just put aside all the discussion about Heard’s tendency to lie not just about the abuse she allegedly suffered (and whose “testimony” was largely what the UK court relied on as “evidence” in finding against Depp’s defamation lawsuit) and the testimony of those who personally witnessed Heard’s domestic violence. Let’s talk about that large pile of feces on her bed that she expected Depp’s Hispanic housekeeper to clean up. Whether it was Heard or one of her friends who “dumped” on the bed, and shoveled it out of the toilet and put it there, isn’t the point. The point is that Heard was responsible for it, one way or the other. And what does that say about her, or her regard (or lack thereof) for the Hispanic housekeeper?

I think the evidence is fairly clear. We should point out that none of this evidence of being a complete asshole would have come out if Heard—in a fit of retaliation—wrote that op-ed that The Washington Post published in a fit of “MeToo” political correctness. Everyone who knew the couple was aware of Heard’s abusive behavior, and like Melania Trump who bizarrely claimed to be the real “victim” of last week’s coup attempt, she had to make certain that everyone knew that she was the “real” victim without once acknowledging her own major failings as a human being.

This report about Heard defecating on the bed—or allowing one of her friends to do so—for someone else to clean-up says something much darker about a person. It shows a complete absence of simple human decency. Remember that Vargas went to her supervisor to make a complaint because she feared Heard’s “bad temper” if she confronted her about it. I mean, think about it: If someone shit on your bed, as a “joke” or a sign of “disrespect,” how would you feel about that? What would you think about the person who did that? What if you feared that this person might actually have the audacity to threaten you verbally or physically for even bringing it up? Wouldn’t you think, at the very least, that this is a person you wouldn’t want to have around or associate with?
