This attracted a lot of media attention. Depp was suing The Sun, a British tabloid, for defamation. A judge ruled the publication calling him a "wife-beater" was accurate. Depp later won a case against Heard in a 2022 court trial in Virginia and a jury of seven decided that the claims of "sexual violence" and "domestic abuse" were untrue and defamed Depp under American law.
