UK court releases photo of Amber Heard showing injuries

A photo released by London's High Court on Thursday shows Amber Heard displaying injuries alleged to have been sustained during an incident in which actor Johnny Depp admitted to "accidentally" head butting her at their Los Angeles penthouse.

The photo has been referred to as an exhibit at the High Court in London, in the hearing of Depp's libel suit against a UK tabloid newspaper that called him a “wife-beater”.

Depp is suing News Group Newspapers, publisher of The Sun, and the paper’s executive editor, Dan Wootton, over an April 2018 article that said he’d physically abused Heard.

The Sun’s defence relies on a total of 14 allegations by Heard of Depp’s violence between 2013 and 2016.

He strongly denies all of them.
