Among millennial women,it is very common practice to claim that their ex-bf/husband was abusive to them and that is why they left; this does not mean only physical abuse but sometime mental. Our society has this narrative that men are monsters and can not be genuinely good people while women are seen as victims that are manipulated by men into doing bad acts more often than not. When cases of men and women come up with the woman claiming the man did something horrible, society as a whole often sides with the women and condemns the man with the latter needing to find strong evidence to claim innocents.
Let's look at example with Johnny Depp and Amber Heard relationship. Back in 2016, Amber Heard claimed that Johnny Depp was "Abusive and domestically abused her". She even punched her face and then claimed it was from a direct assault by Depp and that for years he was abusing her in fits of drunk rage. Amber even took photos of Johnny pelting glass (not at her) over the death of his mother as "evidence" of him being abusive in order to trap him into a metoo.
Our society believing men are bad and women are innocent quickly came to the aid of Amber and threw Johnny under the bus. Johnny was even given a restraining order and told he could not visit his own home, with amber heard GF taking up residency there. Thankfully she was not able to walk away with 1/2 of Johnny's money during the divorce proceedings as he was able to provide sizable evidence of her being abusive to him (via secret tape recordings) but she did walk away with 7 million dollars of his money. As a result of the bad press towards Johnny, Disney dropped him as Jack Sparrow and he's been blacklisted by many directors in hollywood.
Now new info is coming out with video and audio evidence of Amber being abusive both physically and mentally to Johnny depp for years and now all of a sudden people are joining his side and support him.
In our society,men must prove their innocents. Women are seen as innocent until evidence surfaces that proves they are not.
