Part 3/8:
Depp's case was notably complex. His legal battle focused on whether The Sun's accusation of domestic abuse was truthful or defamatory. While Depp asserted his innocence and planned to appeal, the court's decision framed the event as a loss for him, suggesting insufficient evidence to prove the allegations false.
However, many critics argue that this legal ruling should not automatically translate to professional consequences—especially if considering principles of justice versus public opinion. Depp's decision to resign seemingly stemmed from external pressures, possibly from public backlash and studio considerations.
