Johnny Depp has lost his libel case against the Sun newspaper over an article that called him a “wife beater”.
Mr Depp, 57, sued the paper after it claimed he assaulted his ex-wife Amber Heard, which he denies. The Sun said the article was accurate.
Judge Mr Justice Nicol said the Sun had proved what was in the article to be “substantially true”.
A spokesperson for the Sun thanked Ms Heard for “her courage”.
The trial was heard over 16 days in July at the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
