Johnny Depp: the court confirms the violence against ex-wife Amber Heard
The star lost the lawsuit filed against the English tabloid 'The Sun', which had defined him as 'wife beater', that is, a man who beats his wife
The final sentence has arrived in the trial brought by Johnny Depp for defamation against the English tabloid The Sun. According to the star, the newspaper was guilty of having defined him in 2018 as "wife beater", or "a man who beats his wife" (the now ex consort Amber Heard). From there, a no-holds-barred lawsuit began between the star and his ex-wife, in which intimate details, often gruesome, gradually emerged.
On both sides: from sentences on the bathroom mirror written with blood on Depp's finger cut off by Heard; from defecation in bed to alcohol detox drugs that she kept hidden from him to continually relapse into addiction. Depp, at the time, accused the tabloid of considering the alleged violence against Heard as a fact; and therefore of having caused him serious damage to his image.
After the conclusion of the trial that went on for months on July 29, the London court today gave its last word. And he did not grant the star any compensation requested, thus acknowledging that what the Sun had written was "substantially true". "Most of Mr. Depp's assaults on Ms. Heard have been proven," the court note added. Confirming the tabloid's contention that the actor used violence against his ex-wife. Depp had acknowledged the abuse of drugs and alcohol and the squandering of a $ 650 million fortune, but had always denied the physical violence against Heard. Who this summer, at the end of the trial, had declared to the press: "It was incredibly painful to relive the end of my relationship, to see how my truth was questioned, how the most traumatic details of my history with Johnny did. around the world. I trust in British justice ». And so it was.
The appeals of Johnny's friends and old girlfriends, from Vanessa Paradis to Winona Ryder, seem to be worthless, who, despite the turbulent character of the star, have always considered it impossible that real violence had been exercised on her part. And now, according to many, the career of the actor, three-time Oscar nominee and the face of cult films such as Edward Scissorhands and box office sagas such as Pirates of the Caribbean, may suffer a decisive setback.
