Johnny Depp 'is no wife beater', his lawyers tell High Court in Amber Heard libel case | ITV News

Johnny Depp is "no wife beater" and it is his ex-wife, Amber Heard, who was the “abuser” in the relationship, the actor’s lawyers have told the High Court.

Recordings between the couple show that the Aquaman actress has a "propensity for violence", the Hollywood star’s legal team alleged.

In closing submissions on the final day of what is the biggest English libel trial of the 21st century, Mr Depp’s barrister, David Sherborne, said the court needed to decide whether the allegation that the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor was “guilty of serious assault on Ms Heard, causing her significant injuries, is true or not”.

Mr Depp is suing News Group Newspapers (NGN), publisher of The Sun newspaper, and its executive editor Dan Wootton over a 2018 article which alleged he was violent towards Ms Heard, 34, and labelled him a “wife beater”.
