By refusing Johnny Depp's appeal request against the

Sun

, British justice allows "journalists to write - without fear of legal threats - that Mr. Depp is, categorically, a man who beats his wife".

It is in these terms that Amber Heard reacted to the defeat of her ex-husband, as he tried to overturn the verdict rendered this summer.

The judge had indeed concluded that the accusations of violence of the tabloid were "substantially proven".

The Aquaman star therefore said "thank you" on Instagram.

“We are delighted - and not at all surprised - by the Court's refusal to allow Mr. Depp to appeal.

The evidence presented in the UK case was overwhelming and compelling.

As a reminder, the original verdict was that Mr. Depp beat Amber on no less than 12 occasions and that she was afraid for her life.

Mr. Depp's confused memories, caused by years of substance abuse, made him not a credible witness to his own actions, ”we can also read on the actress' social network.

Another trial

Amber Heard was not in the dock in this trial against the

Sun

, she was the tabloid's main witness.

Nevertheless, it is a real victory for the actress who will have to face her ex-husband in the United States during another lawsuit brought by the actor.

Johnny Depp filed a defamation complaint against his ex-wife for posing as a "domestic violence survivor," in an article she signed for the

Washington Post

in 2018.

The British decision should weigh in the balance, and not in favor of Johnny Depp, who is claiming $ 50 million in damages from his ex.

Amber Heard, for her part, has counter-attacked and demands… 100 million dollars from him.

This trial is due to take place on April 11, 2022, having been postponed several times due to the health situation and conflicting schedules.
