Not a Good Source
This doctor actually said on her Twitter:
“He cannot be a victim of abuse bc he had all the control. If he was abused there would be nothing holding him to her. He would have simply left. Just bc he was hit, it does not make him the victim in a IPV/DV power dynamic. What is still unclear? #IStandWithAmberHeard”
