The British judiciary will issue its verdict, next Monday, in the lawsuit filed by Johnny Depp against the British newspaper "The Sun", after accusing him of insulting his ex-wife, American actress Amber Heard.

Judge Andrew Nicole will video read his verdict.

Johnny Depp became acquainted with Amber Heard during the filming of "The Ram Diary" in 2011, and they married in February 2015 in Los Angeles, and were divorced in early 2017 amid great media fanfare.

During a trial that lasted three weeks, which was widely resonated in the media, the High Court in London investigated the marital life of the actors, sometimes reviewing its minutest details.

The actress touched on "years" of "physical and psychological" violence, allegations that Johnny Depp categorically denied.

The 57-year-old American actor admitted to his excessive consumption of alcoholic drinks and drugs, but confirmed that he had never beaten any woman, which was confirmed by written testimonies from his former partners Vanessa Paradis and Winona Ryder.

The actor noted that Heard was the one who perpetrated violence against him.

David Sherburne, the actor's lawyer, asked the judge to "whitewash the name" of Johnny Depp from these "shameful and erroneous accusations" that led him to bring this "dire" case.

As for Amber Heard (34 years), who was one of the witnesses who gave their testimonies at the trial, she kept her statements, sorry to present "the most shocking and intimate details" of her life with Johnny Depp before the court and "spread them all over the world."
