Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are not strangers when it comes to the tabloids. This time Depp, the star of the \u201cPirates of the Caribbean\u201d has had enough and is suing Sun\u2019s Publisher, News Group Newspapers, and its executive editor for libel.<\/p>\n

The article published by The Sun, referred to Depp as a “wife beater.” \u201cHeard, who alleges that Depp was violent toward her, is The Sun’s star witness in Depp’s libel case.\u201d\u00a0 Both sides appear to deny committing domestic abuse allegations and tend to blame each other.<\/p>\n

Apparently, Depp said in court on Tuesday: “I am from a Southern family and rules were instilled in me from birth by my mother: you would be a Southern gentleman or it would be beaten into you.” Depp appears to have the support of his exes, Vanessa Paradis and Winona Ryder. This works in Depp\u2019s favor since the burden of proof is on him as the plaintiff.<\/p>\n

Depp\u2019s obvious damages are his reputation as an actor. To refer to Depp s a \u201cWoman Beater\u201d\u00a0 can have serious detrimental effects on Depp\u2019s career. The judge will determine damages if the elements of libel are met.<\/p>\n
