Johnny Depp begged his assistant to get him 'happy pills' and 'whitey stuff' days before he is alleged to have assaulted his ex wife Amber Heard, the High Court heart today.
The 57-year-old Hollywood actor is suing publishers of The Sun, News Group Newspapers for libel over an article in April 2018 which called him a 'wife beater.' The article related to allegations made against Depp by his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, 34, that he was violent towards her during their marriage – claims he strenuously denies.
At a hearing today, The Sun's lawyers asked the High Court judge to throw out Depp's claims, alleging that he failed to disclose texts which allegedly show him trying to buy drugs in Australia.
