can you explain that further? I don’t think I understand what you mean.

The headline tried to make them sound equally guilty, when in fact, only Amber and Depp's agent were at fault.
Part of the sexual politics in divorce court has been that the "no-fault" system of divorce put in play since the 1970s literally does not consider that one partner may have done greatly more wrong than the other, wrecking the marriage. No-fault just divides the property and child custody more or less in half, as if both were equally to blame, and equally able to recover financially and socially.
When this happens, if there was one partner who clearly did not uphold any effort to make the marriage work, abused his or her spouse or abused the system, clearly broke the norms of marriage, or defrauded the sincere spouse, that person not only gets away with half of everything, he or she often can cause lasting damage to the other party's life because "no-fault" gives the wrongdoer artificially inflated power to control the ex-spouse, jerk the children around, and make patently false claims to bully the ex and further reduce their access to their kids or their reputation in the community.
Just as the first phase of "no-fault" divorce legislation 1970-2005 harmed mostly the women who stayed home with kids but whose husbands left them and then sued for custody (to have their kids raised by his other woman or his gay lover, further impoverishing the stay-at-home mother who can less afford lawyer fees), lawyers are now taking advantage of the MeToo movement—"Believe All Women!"—to destroy fathers' lives, to make outrageous demands, and to excuse unfaithful or self-centered, rejecting wives from all responsibility to tell the truth and treat their ex fairly.
The recent women's empowerment and MeToo movements, while they may have started with a grain of good intentions, have been used by lawyers and too many women for corrupt purposes, and have become primarily vehicles of hate, to harm men.
It was therefore refreshing to see that the jury rejected Heard's lies and extortlon of her ex-husband. I hope a lot of divorce judges are paying attention.
If this explanation was not the point you were after, ask me more specifically.
