Johnny Depp to challenge verdict in wife beater case
Entertainment
Johnny Depp intends to challenge a verdict given by court in London in a case which he lost to a British tabloid.
According to Reuters, the Hollywood star will seek permission on Thursday to appeal against his defeat in a London libel case last year over a tabloid article which labelled him a wife beater.
High Court Judge Andrew Nicol ruled last November that Depp had violently assaulted his ex-wife Amber Heard during their tempestuous five-year relationship, at times putting her in fear for her life.
That decision came after three weeks of hearings where the court heard sensational claim and counter-claim from Depp, 57, and Heard, 34, about violent outbursts which each accused the other of committing.
