I think the admission was that he inadvertently headbutted Heard while she was attacking him, in the process of getting away?

Johnny was planning to sue Heard directly after this in Virginia courts IIRC, but that might not happen after this.
That isn't even really his story and even if it was his story, I don't know why everything he says should be treated as automatically 100% the truth (and just to say I feel the same about her, I wouldn't automatically treat everything she says as 100% the truth).
One can say he is an abusive trash even if not a wife abusing trash since he has a huge history of abusing regular workers like hotel staff, paparazzis and waiters
I am NOT trying to justify anything in the marriage case, far from it... sorry if it came out that way. I even said he is not on her level
People are completely glossing over his actions detailed in the ruling and going with what they can "recall" instead.
This is not true.
This. He's a fucking evil piece of shit that will hopefully be dead and buried sooner than later.
The problem is that his misinformation apparatus is already setup. It won't change when he passes.
if his steering of the ship contributes in even the slightest of ways to its success, then he's better off dead sooner than later.
That's not how it works in the UK. In England, the burden of proof is on the defendant to prove the published material in question was true. It's not on the claimant to prove it's false.
People are going off what she said in private recordings in which she repeatedly admits to physically abusing him regularly, instigating the physical abuse, and even pursuing him to abuse him further when he would try to leave or de-escalate the situation.
Firstly, she didn't say those things, these are inferences that you're making, levels of inference that if we apply to things Johnny Depp has said make him look really bad. Secondly, both of them have basically admitted at various times to hurting each other in this sort of way. Thirdly, part of being in an abusive relationship is that you might say things is that you might say things in a private conversation with your abuser that aren't 100% true (which is an argument both people make here). So what you kinda have to do is actually try and parse through evidence at specific incidents and not just look at one thing one person said at one moment, that's disconnected from any actual incidents.
They aren’t inferences, they are things she describes directly in the recordings. Of course abuse victims say things they don’t mean to appease their abuser, but that’s not the behavior on display in the recordings. The behavior on display in the recordings is an abuser repeatedly detailing the abuse they have perpetrated against their partner, the manner in which they perpetrated it, their intent to continue to perpetrate that abuse, and repeated boasting about how they can get away with the abuse and how their victim will never be believed. The statement “you might say things that are not 100% true” is carrying a LOT of water when describing the content of those recordings and what you are asserting has basically no basis in the known facts. I believe she did what she describes in those recordings because there is extensive evidence of what is being described and because she is describing in detail her own behavior in a way that is consistent with the behavior of abusers to their victims.
Some of these are definitely inferences. She never says that she pursues him to abuse him when he tries to leave.
I’m not ignoring those things, I’m talking specifically about the recordings which you are trying to cast doubt on based on nothing. In the recordings he says he tries to leave the situation and she says she doesn’t let him, that’s directly from the recordings. Nowhere did I say that Depp did not lash out at her as well, it’s very clear he did, we have evidence of that (the head butting incident, him on video throwing a wine glass at her, etc.). Yes they were both toxic, and Depp has pretty serious substance abuse problems. Doesn’t change the fact that Heard describes herself as the instigator of abuse and acts in a textbook abuser manner. The fact that you are trying to downplay that is pretty gross tbh.
Over the last bunch of years, both of them have described themselves as instigators of toxic and abusive behaviour. That's the issue here. The big difference between the two of them as far as I'm concerned is you have a recording of her at her worst, and no recording of him drunk and on cocaine destroying stuff in anger at her and saying awful things (which we know happened, we just don't have the recording). Therefore, I understand why one might feel more upset at her, but to me, it just feels like for her we have a more visceral representation of how bad she could be, whereas we don't have that for him.
There are video recordings of him drunk and high and destroying things, throwing things at her, saying horrible stuff, I literally referenced that in my post. You clearly don’t have all the information available because you keep making false statements like that and misrepresenting the evidence that exists.
You said that the stuff happened, which I agreed with, but I didn't know there were a ton of video records. My bad that I missed that. I just don't see many people talk about that.
