Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's lawsuit

In June 2018, Depp brought a lawsuit in the UK against the Sun, which had called him a 'wife-beater' in an April 2018 article. The case had a highly publicized trial in July 2020, with both Depp and Heard testifying for several days. In November 2020, the High Court of Justice ruled that 12 of the 14 incidents of violence claimed by Heard were 'substantially true'. The court rejected Depp's claim of a hoax and accepted the allegations that Heard had made against Depp.

In early 2019, Depp sued Heard for defamation over an article, she wrote about her experiences of leaving an abusive relationship, which was published by the Washington Post in December 2018. Depp alleged that Heard had been the abuser and that her allegations constituted a hoax against him. Heard denied Depp's claims. The case is scheduled to go to trial in 2022. In an interview with Hollywood Reporter, Depp said that he was being boycotted by the Hollywood industry and called his fall from the industry an 'absurdity of media mathematics.'
