A series of alleged messages sent between Johnny Depp to his assistant where the actor 'begs' for drugs were read out during the actor's libel case at the High Court.
57-year-old Depp is suing News Group Newspapers over an article published by The Sun in April 2018 that referred to him as a 'wife beater' and alleged that he was violent towards Heard, 34, during their marriage – claims he strenuously denies.
At Thursday's hearing - two weeks before the trial is about to begin - the NGN legal team asked High Court judges to throw out Depp's claim, alleging he failed to disclose texts that allegedly show him trying to buy drugs in Australia.
