Johnny Depp LOSES £2m 'libel trial of the century': Jubilant Amber Heard says she's 'not surprised' after High Court rules Depp IS a wife-beater - but actor's lawyer calls ruling 'as perverse as it is bewildering'
Johnny Depp, 57, has lost his long-running libel battle with his ex-wife Amber Heard and The Sun newspaper
The star's reputation lies in tatters after London's High Court found he did beat Heard during their marriage
Sources close to Heard said today that she was relieved but 'not surprised' by the judgement in her favour
Calling ruling 'as perverse as it is bewildering', Depp's lawyer said judge disregarded a mountain of counter-evidence and said actor would appeal
Depp sued The Sun over a 2018 article with the headline: 'Gone Potty: How can JK Rowling be 'genuinely happy' casting wife beater Johnny Deppin the new Fantastic Beasts film?'
He said the allegations had cost him his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean films
The trial was told of Depp's incredible drinking and cocaine binges, his lavish spending and jet set lifestyle
In his ruling, the judge dismissed Depp's claim saying the publisher proved the article to be 'substantially true'
