After a long wait, the judge has finally declared verdict on the Johnny Depp libel suit yesterday. The legal battle was filed by the Fantastic Beasts actor against NGN over their ‘wife-beater’ claims. While many thought JD has the upper hand over Amber Heard, the ruling proved otherwise.
For the unversed, the judge yesterday declared that The Sun’s claim of ‘wife-beater’ was substantially true and hence, they cannot be sued for libel. “I have reached these conclusions having examined in detail the 14 incidents on which the defendants rely as well as the overarching considerations which the claimant submitted I should take into account. In those circumstances, parliament has said that a defendant has a complete defence,” he declared.
As expected, fans were disappointed as soon as they heard the verdict. Ever since #JusticeForJohnnyDepp has been trending with fans slamming Amber Heard. Many are even worried about Johnny Depp’s career post this harsh verdict. The actor was currently shooting for JK Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts 3.
