Ok so Benji's somewhat non interested take. I think what happened was Heard won like 100 million dollars lawsuit against Depp, something considered an Islamic dowry to wife, in my understanding. Basically the society they are in are recognising them as a bona fide married couple, not just f*CK buddies, pothead and his mistress, kind of thing.
On a human level this implies Heard was a cultivating element in Depp's life, and really, I don't know much about him apart from he's what I consider a soul that resonates to the musical note d minor and what that entails (a lot). Also apparently he had no father and his mother was no good so I'm inclined to believe, if that's the case, that while he may have succeeded as an actor as many men with bad or no fathers do. Nevertheless he brought unresolved angst to the relationship, or he expected the relationship be more boyfriend girlfriend like than actual marriage.
Heard to me looks like a woman, she wants her dowry for the marriage. The latest result, Johnny winning her defamation case against him, being awarded around 15 million in damages, this just means her dowry is downgraded from 100 million to 85 million. She might look greedy and avenging to some folks but really, her sense of entitlement indicates she has what the Koran, according to my understanding (please don't blow me up, crazy Pakistanis!), refers to as a 'freed slave' status, going into the relationship, not a 'slave' status. I guess the Koran is saying everyone has a toggle button relative to everyone else that is set to 'slave' or 'freed slave'. For example I get to Northern beaches district of Sydney with a slave mentality regarding boating, sailing, being on the water in a general way, the locals free me of my slave mentality by virtue of their sense of entitlement.
Is Heard an example if toxic femininity, well according to the defamation trial jury and court in Fairfax, yes, and according to Johnny's fans. However Heard still won a pretty big dowry from Depp and it's difficult to see how much he'll be able to claw back. Also unclear how much is going to Heard and how much to her lawyers. Toxic femininity is still not actually recognised as a thing, unfortunately, progressive as we would like to think we are, with all our transgender and gay rights (a joke).
Now with regards to the two lovebirds, can they grow as people and learn from their mistakes? Probably they should realise neither believes in the other that much, although to some extent yes, I imagine they'll be sick of each other and using each other to explore their dark sides or perceived hypocrisies or whatever. They can try to use the occasion to build meaningful relationships in future or no, I don't know. I think this is about the two lovebirds looking for a real meaningful relationship in each other because that's a human need everyone has. I think they found that in each other and Depp will not have any motivation to try to stick around and won't. I think these celebrities find validation and meaning and even meaningful relationships between themselves and their relationships with their industry insiders, even just dopey journalists and talk show hosts. Obviously when you get souls like Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain who are young and disillusioned with their celebrity and where it leaves them, they just choose to suicide.
Professionally I understand from the trial from tapes played to the courtroom:

That Heard was a major actor in Aquaman, however I have not seen Aquaman. My understanding is that Nichole Kidman is in this movie and plays the Aquaman character's mother. I'd guess Heard plays his love interest. I would not think Heard and Kidman have anything but a professional relationship as working actors together and probably got along civilly on set if they saw each other at all there, and I'd guess to say that they are not actually friends in the real world. My understanding of Kidman is that she's a sensible woman and has not had this kind of meltdown like Heard's entire relationship has been with Depp, and is happily married to Keith Urban and has a happy life in Memphis Tennessee or somewhere like that. I gave one of their Sydney neighbours a taxi ride, that sees them occasionally at their north Sydney apartment, and, same as the taxi customer I had whose kid worked with Tom Cruise on some movie, I had no reason to doubt either customer was being truthful about their dealings with this former married couple and what comes back to me is that both of them are stable and reliable people and very dedicated professionals, who know how to act normal in the real world*. Heard is a young woman and at that age where she really needs a regular husband giving it to her all the time and making babies. Unfortunately a lot of young women do not want this (babies, just sex) and the university/middle class system generally frowns on it and women in their 20s like to play the field and imagine all kinds of things.
I saw in some internet comments Heard is actually a mother and I don't know anything about it although it piques my interest. I'm sure Johnny wouldn't care if I took her as an extra wife. She can wear pink hair bows from now on if she's interested. I can see Johnny frantically waving like the actor in Team America when he's in trouble, waving his emergency signal hands in the air and saying: 'take her, take her bro!' ha ha that's so funny.
So there you have it Johnny and Amber sitting in a tree, not what they would have imagined for themselves as little kids singing that song.
