Johnny Depp Libel Trial Relating to Amber Heard Allegations to Go Ahead A trial at London’s Royal Courts of Justice in which Johnny Depp will sue The Sun newspaper for an article alleging he was a “wife beater” is to go ahead.

The article referenced allegations that Depp was often violent toward his ex-wife Amber Heard, which he denies strenuously.

Adam Wolanski, the attorney acting for the tabloid’s publisher, News Group Newspapers, had asked the trial judge, Judge Andrew Nicol, to throw out the case.

Wolanski argued that Depp had breached a court order by not providing text messages relating to his alleged drug use. These texts, sent between Depp and his assistant during a trip to Australia, contained references to “happy pills” and “whitey stuff.” The texts suggested Depp was trying to obtain Mdma and cocaine, and preceded “a three-day ordeal of physical assaults” against Heard, Wolanski alleged.

Depp denies that he took the drugs, and that he was violent toward Heard.
