On the appeal of Captain Depp's domestic violence case, the verdict came out.
As a result, the judge rejected his appeal, arguing that his appeal "has no reasonable basis for the need for a retrial of the case".
Speaking of which, there may be children's shoes with a confused face, isn't this case already closed?
The last time depp lost the case, he was also fired by Warner and quit the crew of "Fantastic Beasts 3".
Indeed, in November last year, Depp lost the case against the Sun newspaper for reporting domestic violence against his wife, Amber Hilde (the heroine of the Aquaman movie), and the judge found that 12 of the 14 domestic violence reported by the Sun were true.
But after the verdict came out, Depp was not satisfied and immediately appealed.
But at the end of the month, another British judge dismissed his appeal on the grounds that "Depp did not have any new evidence to base his appeal".
In addition, this time, that is to say, Depp has been rejected by different judges for two consecutive times, if you count the judge who lost the case for the first time, it can basically be said that the court has determined that he is domestic violence Amber Hilde.
According to the report, Depp's appeal was based on the $7 million compensation he paid to Amber in the divorce agreement, and Amber said that she would donate all of them to charity, but so far it has not been paid.
The court replied that Depp did not mention this charitable donation in all the evidence originally submitted, and deliberately raised it after losing the case, which was suspected of smearing and attacking the woman.
Secondly, the court ruled and collected evidence mainly on whether the 14 cases of domestic violence reported by the Sun newspaper were true, and Depp's intention to characterize the woman as a "gold digger" to attack her credibility was meaningless.
Amber said that due to the lawsuit with Depp, she had already spent millions of dollars, so she could not donate all at once, but made it clear that she would donate all the money in batches in the future.
According to sources, after the appeal was rejected, Depp is unlikely to spend any more time and energy around the Case of The Sun.
Because this case has already dealt a heavy blow to his career, in fact, the news that the appeal has been rejected again is another heavy blow to Depp himself.
After learning of the verdict, Amber told the media:
"Not at all surprised, because that's the result of course."
"The British court has already made a very rigorous evidence collection of domestic violence reported by The Sun, and depp's appeal will certainly not be successful when the evidence is conclusive."
Although it took a long time, the verdict was fair, all the evidence was recognized by the court, and Depp's claim that the so-called "new evidence" was just his news strategy, and it was expected that the court would reject it. ”
A spokesperson for The Sun said:
"The Sun has always had confidence in this matter, believing that the court will never approve this appeal application, and we are very satisfied with today's results."
"The case has been tried very fully, fairly and appropriately, and despite repeated attempts by the perpetrators to attack her and try to silence her, today's court decision proves that the evidence of domestic violence provided by Amber Hilde is absolutely true and unquestionable."
"The Sun will continue to stand up and speak out for victims of domestic abuse."
It is important to know that the case between Depp and Amber is not over.
Because this case is Depp suing The Sun, strictly speaking, a lawsuit between Depp and The Sun, only because it involves the reported acts of domestic violence, Amber is required to provide evidence.
Depp and Amber are still in the United States, and there is still a lawsuit.
However, these judgments and evidence collection in the British courts will obviously become strong evidence at that time, and depp wants to win this case, and objectively speaking, the probability is indeed not high.
It seems that the duel between the pirates and the queen of the sea is that the latter wins.
