The American actor, Johnny Depp, lost his role in "Fantastic Beasts", as he confirmed his agreement to the production company’s request to step down from him, in the first reflection on his career for losing the defamation lawsuit he filed against the British newspaper "The Sun" after accusing him of being a "violent husband." .
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star had risked his career by suing "News Group News Spears", the publisher of "The Sun" newspaper, who accused him of insulting his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard.
The High Court in London issued a ruling in favor of the newspaper, saying that the descriptions it provided were "substantially correct", because "the overwhelming majority of the presumed assaults have been proven", after a three-week trial last July.
Depp wrote, the day before yesterday, through his accounts on "Instagram" and "Facebook": "The unrealistic judgment of the court will not change the truth," stressing that he intends to appeal.
He thanked his fans, saying, "He is moved" for receiving "a lot of messages" of support.
The trial, which was often attended by Depp and his exotic actress, Amber Heard, dealt with embarrassing details about their private lives, from Johnny Depp's drug addiction, and his accusations of treason against Amber Heard.
And British tabloids found material that fits into these details.
The star added, "My life and career will not be determined by this moment, and my determination remains strong, and I would like to prove that the accusations against me are wrong."
However, Depp’s career began to be negatively affected by the court’s decision, as the actor revealed that Warner Brothers had asked him to “resign from the role of Grindelwald,” which he plays in the upcoming “Fantastic Beasts” movie, and Depp agreed to this request.
