However, the court has now rejected the request of the British newspaper.

According to the Associated Press (AP), Judge Andrew Nicol rejected the request of The Sun’s lawyers, saying that he thought there should be a trial.

The judge said that the central point of the said case is whether Johnny Depp tortured his ex-wife actress Amber Heard or not.

The judge also rejected claims that Johnny Depp forced his ex-wife to open up regarding her relationship with other men and that Johnny Depp assaulted his wife only following the actress refused.
