Johnny Depp's defamation lawsuit against the British tabloid Sun, who called him a "wife's beater", got under way before the London High Court this morning. In court, in addition to the American Hollywood star, assisted by his lawyers, the ex-wife involved in the case, the actress Amber Heard, appeared in the company of her sister. Depp denounced Rupert Murdoch's news giant News Group Newspapers, who owns the tabloid, and the director of the Sun for an article from April 2018 in which he was accused of marital abuse.
As an alleged confirmation of the truthfulness of the allegations, the tabloid had then published violent-toned messages in which the actor spoke of "killing and burning" his ex-wife.
The protagonist of the saga The Pirate of the Caribbean, who appeared in court dressed in black, with sunglasses and his face covered with a mask, has always denied any fault, saying he was on the contrary the victim of physical aggression by Amber and that his were just words, moved by anger.
In the next few days there will also be video testimonials from other of his former companions such as the French singer Vanessa Paradis and the actress Winona Ryder, who defend Depp. The lawsuit opened with a preliminary hearing in February, unless it stopped immediately following the coronavirus and lockdown. The sentence is expected by the end of July and could also affect the one pending in the United States between the two ex-spouses. .
