London – Hollywood actor Johnny Depp strenuously denied being violent to his ex-wife Amber Heard, as he launched a libel claim in a London court on Tuesday against a British tabloid newspaper that called him a “wife-beater”. The 57-year-old is suing the publishers of...

“I find it simply inconceivable and it would never happen,” he added.

It argues Depp was “controlling and verbally and physically abusive towards Ms Heard, particularly when he was under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs” – and has evidence to prove it. Heard has claimed she was physically assaulted over three days in Australia in early 2015 but Depp called the allegations “sick... and completely untrue”.

Depp’s lawyers, in a written outline of his case to the court, also argued that although the couple’s relationship was at times “physical”, it was at Heard’s instigation. Depp loved her but found her behaviour “often bewildering” and “very difficult” to understand or deal with, he added.
