Brian Cox Admits He Was ‘A Bit Harsh’ Calling Johnny Depp ‘Overblown’ & ‘Overrated’

Johnny Depp was accused of being a "wife-beater" to his ex-wife Amber Heard by a British publication back in 2018.

Johnny Depp has suffered a loss ahead of the long-delayed trial for his libel lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard and this loss has set up a defense strategy for her legal team.

Johnny Depp’s ex-wife, Amber Heard, can argue to a jury that she should be protected from a libel lawsuit because her 2018 op-ed on domestic violence deals with a matter of public interest, a judge ruled Thursday.
