This morning.

London, England.

The Hollywood actor Johnny Depp has lost his high-stakes libel action in the London courts against the Sun after the newspaper described him as a “wife beater”.

The court refused to award the Pirates of the Caribbean star compensation for damage to his reputation at the end of one of the most widely followed libel trials of the century.

    He may have lost in court (which is astounding given that they printed something with no actual proof and it was up to him to prove it didn’t happen) but I think his reputation has been cleared with the public.

    My opinion of Depp the film actor remains stable even if his reputation as a private person is subject to tremors.

    All of Depp’s ex girlfriends and his former wife said the man Ms. Heard described is not the man they know.

    By contrast The Sun has a different sort of record; remember how they blamed the dead victims for Hillsborough? Or indeed the dead victims of British state forces on Bloody Sunday.

    Irish people should have enough experience by now to know there’s no such thing as British justice.

      Do you give the same weight to character references for rapists, robbers, drink drivers? “He never raped/robbed/ran me down while significantly over the drink drive limit”

      “Well he never beat me” isn’t really an indicator of what someone is capable.

        His mother was ashamedly obese from eating too many grapes, fact.

        It was his mother’s fault really.

        Hope that fits your logic.

        Jesus. When did drunk drivers fall into the same category as rapists and robbers?

        Some of my mates have been done for that over the years sure.
