Johnny Depp ordered to disclose audio recordings before libel trial

Johnny Depp will have to disclose audio recordings of conversations between him and his ex-wife Amber Heard, as part of his libel claim against a British tabloid newspaper.

The Hollywood actor is suing News Group Newspapers (NGN), the publishers of the Sun, and its executive editor, Dan Wootton, over an article that alleged he was violent and abusive towards Heard and that referred to him as a “wife-beater”.

At a hearing in London last week, lawyers for Depp and for NGN, asked Mr Justice Nicol to rule on a number of matters in dispute, including issues relating to disclosure of the actor’s text messages.

The judge ordered that Depp must make further disclosure – the handing over of evidence before a trial – in relation to audio tapes of the conversations he had with Heard during their relationship.

Lawyers for the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor told the court last week that the recordings, which have been the subject of recent press reports, include Heard appearing to discuss having been physically violent towards Depp.

David Sherborne, representing Depp, said the evidence “demonstrates in her own voice that she was not a victim of domestic abuse, but rather that she was the aggressor”.

He added that, in the recordings, Heard is apparently heard to say that no one would believe Depp if he claimed to be a victim of domestic violence.

The judge also ordered further disclosure from Depp in relation to documents from the couple’s divorce proceedings, and to provide more detail to show what steps he had taken to obtain his medical records. However, the judge refused NGN’s application for further disclosure in relation to text messages sent by Depp to his friend, British actor Paul Bettany.- Source
