Winona Ryder has no doubt her ex-fiance Johnny Depp is not an abusive man.The actress was due to testify at the star’s libel trial against News Group Newspapers (NGN) over a story published in The Sun in 2018, which branded him a “wife beater”, based on domestic violence allegations from his ex-wife Amber Heard, that he strongly denies.While Ryder and Depp’s other former partner and mother to his kids, Vanessa Paradis, were due to appear in court this week (begins July 13, 2020), on Thursday it was confirmed their testimony was no longer required.It was initially reported that the decision was made as the publishers accepted that neither of the women was ever assaulted by the Pirates of the Caribbean star, but solicitors acting for NGN.
