The Sun had published an article in May 2018, based on Amber Heard’s claim that her then-husband Johnny Depp abused her on a private plane in May 2014.

According to the report, an alleged text from Depp to Bettany regarding being on a plane was also discussed in the libel case. This text from Depp to Bettany stated, “I’m gonna properly stop the booze thing, darling … Drank all night before I picked Amber up to fly to LA, this past Sunday … Ugly, mate …. No food for days … powders … half a bottle of whiskey, a thousand red bull and vodkas, pills, 2 bottles of Champers on plane and what do you get??? … An angry, aggro Injun in a f****’ blackout, screaming obscenities and insulting any f*** who got near …I’m done … I am admittedly too f***ed in the head to spray my rage at the one I love … For little reason, as well I’m too old to be that guy. But, pills are fine!!!"
