Winona Ryder and Vanessa Paradis no longer giving evidence in Depp libel claim

Johnny Depp court case

Winona Ryder and Vanessa Paradis will no longer be called to give evidence in Johnny Depp’s libel claim against The Sun over an article that labelled him a “wife beater”, the High Court has heard.

Mr Depp’s former partners were due to appear via video link this week, but the actor’s barrister David Sherborne told the court Mr Depp’s legal team had decided there is no need to hear from them.
