Details about the stormy relationship between JohnnyDepp and AmberHeard will be publicly aired for the first time

that cast him as a "wife beater." The publisher of that article questioning how JK Rowling could be "genuinely happy" about Depp's role in intends to defend itself from a defamation claim by proving that Depp did in fact beat his ex-wife Amber Heard causing her to suffer significant injury.

In today's decision, the judge notes that the U.K. tabloid spoke of "tapes" in the plural as a "series" of conversations, plus nods to Waldman's conversation, and decides these audio recordings are subject to disclosure. Justice Nicol writes that this tranche of materials may be in the hands of Depp's divorce lawyers, but agrees that it's still within his control and that it too is subject to disclosure.

Attorneys for News Group pointed to these messages as well as others like when Depp texted Heard about an evening of "disco bloodbath" as indicative of insufficient disclosure. They surmised there may be other "missing texts."

McClain_on_NFL Doesn't this douche speak with an English accent these days?

OMFG YESSS ❤️❤️❤️ Justice served right

This defamation was the worse that could’ve happened to the metoo movement. There are real women out there that are abused by their husbands. This lie will just cause more doubting and it will impact true victims smh

And he’s going to win 🙌🏽 JUSTICE is coming!!

Amber Heard is an ABUSER and a disgrace for women

I'm honestly fascinated if he can win back all the money he has blown.

Should've been Husband Abuser honestly

Junkot94638419 He wasn't manic for no good reason she withheld that medication til it suited her needs he was in pain spasms ect because she withheld his medication she intervened in his medical care and caused it to be more painful than it had to be that's what abusers do and pretend they care

U didnt reported on recordings yet

Evidence has been out for a long time now. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. But sure take your time reporting it because it was a GUY that got assaulted 😒

that is their private matters. Please STOP being a busy body! no need to air it to the public.

Dude, you all are way behind in news! Half of the world's population already knows about the audios they are all over You tube🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

ReneBrooklyn I'm pretty sure The Hollywood Reporter is owned by Penske Media - the same ass that owns Rolling Stone. Let me just check.

He is a very talented actor I don’t talk about anyone’s personal life I just like the movie 🎥

abusehasnogender AmberHeardIsAnAbuser JusticeforJohnnyDepp Amber Heard made fools of the media & you just cant swallow that pill. AMBER HEARD MADE FOOLS OF THE MEDIA. She beat her husband and tried to use the metoo movement to further her career

It's not the first time, it's only YOUR first time reporting on this😌

It has been detailed with her audio confession. Media just doesn’t report on it

This may be small, but speaks to the tone of where your bias is.. where as amber heard is incapable of controlling her anger and where amber admits to physical violence.. to the comparison of Johnny’s venting texts to his friend.. +

Wtf kind of reporting is this? Just..🖕

Those of us who have already heard the audio will just wait for the rest of you to catch up... justiceforjohnnydepp

I've heard and seen enough. When I saw his cut off finger, that was enough. She should be in jail

🖕🖕🖕 AmberHeardIsAnAbuser 🖕🖕🖕

Ahahhaa amber will die of trauma after hearing this Ahaha

First time No...she admitted to abusing him already. It's public knowledge.

justiceforjohnnydepp

The quickest and the most efficient solution would be given both of them a gun to kill each other and whoever left got shot in the head immediately. Or saving more time if they can be killed by each other at the same time. The only problem of this solution might be it's illegal

the trial will overcome all the he said she said allegations and get down to the facts.. the problem is this stuff is so serious.. it can ruin acting careers.

Why do you keep saying she 'apparently' confessed she's the abuser of the two? We've heard the tapes, stop trying to make it seem like we can't know. The public KNOWS she is an abuser. Deal with it.

Why is only Johnny Depp's picture der? 🙄🙄🙄

Is stormy relationship when the woman is THE ABUSER I understand

It is Heard who recorded their therapy sessions & those audios are in her possession. As she's not a party to this suit she can't be compelled to provide them, so The Sun are demanding Depp, as Claimant, do so instead. There was no question of any sanctions.

You always discrediting Johnny! They said nothing about the audios.

They’re both nuts

oh my.. why couldn't they have both dropped this ions ago.. both stubborn.

I can't wait to see all Amber Heard's lies being exposed JusticeForJohnnyDepp

Really ? eriqgardner Really ? For your reminder, he sues them. For defamation. He attempts to prove he's innocent and that they defamed him. What a disturbingly gross way to twist this.

First time? You ignored them because your girl Amber Heard is the ABUSER 👇

Sauvage.

It's been aired for months. Maybe they should both stop releasing quotes, and audio, and solve this like adults.
