Johnny Depp has lost an attempt to overturn a high court ruling that said he assaulted and abused his ex-wife Amber Heard.
Over the summer, the judge dismissed Depp’s libel claim against The Sun’s publisher, which dubbed him a “wife beater” in an April 2018 article. The judge ruled that the statement was “substantially true,” and that the 57-year-old assaulted the 34-year-old Heard on a dozen occasions.
Part of Depp’s argument relied on claims that Heard did not give away her $7 million divorce settlement, as she said she would.
