Hollywood star Johnny Depp will discover on Nov. 2 whether he has won a libel action against a British tabloid which labelled him a "wife beater", a ruling which could have a lasting impact on the actor's career.
Depp, 57, sued News Group Newspapers, publishers of The Sun, and one of its journalists, Dan Wootton, over a 2018 article which stated he had been violent towards his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, 34, and questioned his casting in the "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" franchise.
Both Depp and Heard gave evidence before Judge Andrew Nicol during a three-week hearing at London's High Court, laying bare their tempestuous private lives and making allegations of serious domestic abuse, drug-taking and affairs.
