The case grabbed international headlines.
Johnny Depp has lost his libel case against the Sun newspaper in the UK, which labelled him a "wife beater" in a 2018 article.
Judge Andrew Nicol delivered his verdict at 10am this morning, finding that what was in the article was "substantially true".
The case was labelled one of the biggest libel trials in the 21st century and laid bare the chaotic lifestyle of Johnny Depp showing his personal battles with drugs and alcohol.
But the Hollywood actor said he wanted to clear his name against claims of domestic violence against his ex-wife actor Amber Heard during their marriage.
The Sun newspaper said in a statement domestic abuse victims must never be silenced and thanked Amber Heard for her courage in giving evidence to the court.
A lawyer for Ms Heard said the decision and judgement are not a surprise.
