Based on the fact that a lot of Depp fans paid to get unsealed documents, which actually incriminated Johnny vs. Amber (which was their goal), here are some updates on this whole thing:
So basically, they were both awful and abusive toward the other? It seems to me that it's not accurate to label one the "victim" and one the "abuser," as they each played both roles. What a toxic relationship.

No, there's no such thing as "mutually abusive." There's abuse, and defense of the abuse.

Except sometimes, both people are the aggressors at different times.

I’d like to learn more about this. Are you able to explain a little bit more, or point me toward a resource where I can read about it?

Sure! It's not my professional background, so I don't have clinical links, but I think what a lot of people are thinking when they assume "mutual abuse" is two people acting toxic towards each other, which is valid, but not something that meets the definition of abuse, where there is always one aggressor.
