Johnny Depp said Amber Heard was ‘begging for global humiliation’, court hears

Johnny Depp’s text messages from the time of the breakdown of his marriage to Amber Heard were at the centre of the latest High Court hearing in his libel case against The Sun newspaper over allegations he was violent and abusive towards his ex-wife.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star, 56, is suing News Group Newspapers (NGN), the publishers of The Sun, and the newspaper’s executive editor Dan Wootton over an April 2018 article which referred to him as a “wife-beater”.
