Baldoni and his PR agent Nathan, who had previously represented Johnny Depp during his defamation suit against Amber Heard, deployed the same basic playbook that Depp relied on: Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender (DARVO), a term coined by psychologist Jennifer Freyd. The DARVO strategy pivots around the effort to deny a victim’s claim by turning the basic logic of the case upside down. Thus, the key objective becomes to relentlessly undermine a victim’s credibility so as to reverse the power dynamic alleged in the complaint, transforming the offender into the victim and the victim into a predator, motivated by attention, money, and revenge.
