'This is what real abuse looks like': Johnny Depp fans compare Rihanna's 'beaten up' pic to Amber Heard's

A Twitter user wrote, 'Being 'beaten within an inch of your life' and only having a Botox/filler bruise on your eye is NOT how you would look'

The trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard for defamation has been made public on social media, provoking a careful analysis by their fans. Although Rihanna chose to not discuss Chris Brown's attack on her throughout their relationship, Heard's photo from the talk show, in which she appeared the next day concealing her wounds caused by Depp, was compared to the Umbrella singer's attack photo, by Johnny Depp supporters claiming, "This is what real abuse looks like."

During Depp and Heard's defamation trial, social media has been split into two teams: their supporters believe their side of the story and are showering them with love and support. "For those saying #IStandWithAmberHeard this is what real abuse looks like," a Twitter user who happens to be a part of the Johnny Depp team captioned a photo of Rihanna and Amber Heard. "Being 'beaten within an inch of your life' and only having a Botox/filler bruise on your eye is NOT how you would look. #AmberHeardlsALiar"

Heard appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden the next day, supposedly concealing her wounds with 'heavy makeup' following Johnny Depp's beating on her face the day before.

"I got worried that I wouldn’t be able to hide the bruising and swelling. I iced it all night and the next day checked in the mirror to see if I could get away with it, meaning hiding it, so I could make an appearance. I gambled and thought maybe I could pull it off, I had my hair and makeup team come. They worked around it, meaning worked around the lesions on my head with the hair spray because that stings. They worked around the bruising by covering it with heavy makeup, heavier makeup than normal bruise covering makeup," the Aquaman star stated during the trial.

"I remember my lip was still bleeding and swollen, so we did this really thick super heavy matte red lipstick," Heard said, "and I remember very well at the time that we had no choice in color, and that was one of my favorite colors to wear."

After all of the discussion about which injuries are real and which are not, one individual wrote on Twitter criticizing Heard's statements, "Amber tries to explain the red lipstick was to hide the damage... but you cannot hide swelling from a brutal attack, nor cuts from a man pounding on you with huge metal rings on his fingers... or cuts all over from slipping in broken glass. Chance of Amber lying: 99.9%."

Another person wrote about their own abuse experience in which they had no apparent bruises: "Abuse comes in all colors, shapes, and sizes. Just because I didn't get a bruise when my father punched me in the throat, does not mean I was not abused!" to which an individual responded, "I hear and accept what you say and am sorry for your pain but all the world is comparing Amber's vivid account of what "happened" to her and comparing it to her actual mental and physical accouterments 1 whole day later #Itjustdoesntaddup"
