Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorAmazon Prime’s three-part series “A Very British Scandal” dramatizes one of the most scandalous divorce cases in British history, between the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, in which the Duke (Ian, played by Paul Bettany) accuses Margaret (Claire Foy) of sleeping with more than 88 other men during their marriage.Judge Lord Wheatley, who presided over the case, blasted her as “a completely promiscuous woman” whose attitude towards marriage was “wholly immoral.”Writer and creator Sarah Phelps says she was sensitive to the fact she was penning a script about real people who had living relatives that she took into consideration. “There are strict laws about how to represent people and what impact it’s going to have on their living relatives,“ Phelps says.

Johnny Depp has told a court that he is "ashamed" of texts which he sent to actor Paul Bettany in which he spoke of burning and drowning his ex-wife Amber Heard.However, the 58-year-old actor claimed the messages were a joke based on a Monty Python sketch and an attempt at "irreverent and abstract humour".Depp was speaking in Virginia as the $50million (£39.6m) libel trial, in which he's suing Heard for defamation, moved into its third week.The case is over an article the Aquaman actress wrote for The Washington Post in 2018, which Depp claims falsely implies he physically and sexually abused her during their marriage.Depp told the court he had a close friendship with Bettany and, in 2013, had written in a text to him: "Let’s burn Amber."Let’s drown her before we burn her. I will f*** her burnt corpse afterwards to make sure she’s dead."Depp added that he had connected with Bettany over their "abstract sense of humour" in dealing with difficult situations, and claimed that the comments were never "intended to be real.""As these are private texts there was a lot … in context," he said.

On the witness stand last week, Johnny Depp‘s graphic text exchange with his friend, Marvel actor Paul Bettany, was revealed to the court.

It worked, with Judge Lord Wheatley blasting her as “a completely promiscuous woman” whose attitude towards marriage was “wholly immoral.”The judge, a highly conservative Jesuit and a relative of Campbell, added: “I consider her to be a highly sexed woman who had ceased to be satisfied with normal relations and had started to indulge in disgusting sexual activities to gratify a debase sexual appetite.”As The New York Times reported at the time, the photos “reportedly showed a naked man gratifying himself and pictured [the duchess], dressed in nothing but three strands of pearls, performing a sex act on a naked man in the mirrored gilt and silver bathroom of her Mayfair apartment.”“Margaret really invented the tabloid scandal, which now is such a huge industry,” show writer Sarah Phelps told The Post.
