Now that Angelina Jolie has filed court documents alleging that a drunken, raging Brad Pitt assaulted her and two of their children on a private plane in 2016, the open question is whether or not misogynistic haters will be able to turn her in the public mind into “another Amber Heard” — that is, another famous woman viciously dragged through the mud after coming forward with eminently plausible domestic violence accusations.
Over the course of Amber Heard/Johnny Depp defamation trial, Heard faced what one social media research firm has called “one of the worst cases of cyberbullying and cyberstalking by a group of Twitter accounts that we’ve ever seen” — and the bullying continues even today, nearly two months after Heard lost the case.
