What the Depp-Heard trial tells us about toxic relationships

The whole world is witnessing the drama around the Johnny Depp - Amber Heard trial unfold - there are multiple testimonies, mounting evidence and depositions that can sway anyone towards either party. Differentiating toxic relationships Choksi defines toxic relationships as ones where there is a constant imbalance of power and one person in the relationship always has the upper hand. Johnny Depp sued his ex-wife Amber Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court after she wrote an op-ed piece in The Washington Post in 2018 referring to herself as a public figure representing domestic abuse Srivastava apprises that while it may be tempting to only recognise the other party as toxic in the relationship, one needs to realise that both parties exhibit unhealthy behaviours in a toxic relationship and do not respect boundaries.
