Johnny Depp has lost his libel case against The Sun - it's a complicated story, but what it means is that a judge ruled an article claiming Depp assaulted his ex-wife Amber Heard was "substantially true" so Depp failed in suing the newspaper over it bbc.co.uk/news/uk-547794… Important to remember here that this was a media law case - Depp was suing The Sun for libel, meaning he was saying the newspaper published something that wasn't true about him that damaged his reputation (the judge didn't agree). Depp wasn't in court accused of assaulting Heard.
