Johnny Depp Loses , UK Libel Action Against Tabloid.<br />British tabloid 'The Sun' had referred to the <br />'Pirates of the Caribbean' star as a "wife beater.".<br />An article appeared in the tabloid in 2018 <br />which alleged that Depp, 57, was violent with his <br />ex-wife, Amber Heard, 34, more than a dozen times.<br />The justice overseeing <br />the case stated that the article as <br />published "was substantially true.".<br />I have found that the great majority of alleged assaults of Ms. Heard by Mr. Depp have been proved to the civil standard, Justice Andrew Nicol, via NBC News.<br />Depp has denied the allegations, <br />referring to them as a "hoax.".<br />Depp's legal team referred to the ruling as <br />"perverse" and "bewildering," saying the <br />judge put too much emphasis on Heard's testimony.<br />The judgment is so flawed that it would be ridiculous for Mr. Depp not to appeal this decision, Jenny Afia, Schillings Law Firm, <br />via NBC News
