In a stunning victory for press freedom, London’s High Court ruled we were right to brand the Pirates of the Caribbean actor a wife beater for his brutal attacks on his ex-wife.

Mr Justice Nicol threw out Depp’s defamation case after finding our story - which had always been staunchly backed by Ms Heard - was accurate.

The judge ruled Depp's feelings towards his wife during their turbulent three-year relationship were summed up in a text where the actor revealed he had "no mercy" for her.

He also concluded Depp beat Ms Heard 12 out of 14 times - starting in 2013 when he slapped the actress when she made a comment about his tattoo.

He dismissed two allegations made by Ms Heard in 2014 and 2015 but said he couldn't conclude she had been "untruthful" about it.

Over the course of their stormy marriage, the judge found Depp battered his wife after slipping into his "monster" persona when he binged on drink and drugs.

Depp had branded the Aquaman star's allegations a "hoax" and accused her of attacking him as he gave evidence for more than 20 hours at the High Court.

The Alice in Wonderland star also tried to smear his ex-wife's reputation - even making an extraordinary claim Ms Heard pooed in their marital bed after a fight.

But the judge today said The Sun's publishers, News Group Newspapers (NGN), had proved what was in the article to be "substantially true".

He also dismissed Depp's description of his ex-wife as a "gold-digger", saying: "I do not accept this characterisation of Ms Heard."
